Weighted Hardy–Littlewood–Sobolev inequalities on the upper half space

Abstract

In this paper, we establish a weighted Hardy–Littlewood–Sobolev (HLS) inequality on the upper half space using a weighted Hardy type inequality on the upper half space with boundary term, and discuss the existence of extremal functions based on symmetrization argument. As an application, we can show a weighted Sobolev–Hardy trace inequality with [Formula: see text]-biharmonic operator.
