A one-dimensional nonlinear degenerate elliptic equation

We study the one-dimensional version of the Euler-Lagrange equation associated to finding the best constant in the Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg inequalities. We give a complete description of all non-negative solutions which exist in a suitable weighted Sobolev space ${cal D}_a^{1,2}(Omega)$. Using the...

Description
Summary:We study the one-dimensional version of the Euler-Lagrange equation associated to finding the best constant in the Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg inequalities. We give a complete description of all non-negative solutions which exist in a suitable weighted Sobolev space ${cal D}_a^{1,2}(Omega)$. Using these results we are able to extend the parameter range for the inequalities in higher dimensions when we consider radial functions only, and gain some useful information about the radial solutions in the $N$-dimensional case.
