for any nonnegative functions $f\in L^{p}(\partial \mathbb {R}_+^{n})$, $g\in L^{q'}(\mathbb {R}_+^{n})$ and $p,\,\ q'\in (1,\,\infty )$, $\beta \geq 0$, $\alpha +\beta >1$ such that $\frac {n-1}{n}\frac {1}{p}+\frac {1}{q'}-\frac {\alpha +\beta -1}{n}=1$.
We prove the existence of all extremal functions for (0.1). We show that if $f$ and $g$ are extremal functions for (0.1) then both of $f$ and $g$ are radially decreasing. Moreover, we apply the regularity lifting method to obtain the smoothness of extremal functions. Finally, we derive the sufficient and necessary condition of the existence of any nonnegative nontrivial solutions for the Euler–Lagrange equations by using Pohozaev identity.
A subset E of a metric space X is said to be starlike-equivalent if it has a neighbourhood which is mapped homeomorphically into $\mathbb{R}^n$ for some n, sending E to a starlike set. A subset $E\subset X$ is said to be recursively starlike-equivalent if it can be expressed as a finite nested union of closed subsets $\{E_i\}_{i=0}^{N+1}$ such that $E_{i}/E_{i+1}\subset X/E_{i+1}$ is starlike-equivalent for each i and $E_{N+1}$ is a point. A decomposition $\mathcal{D}$ of a metric space X is said to be recursively starlike-equivalent, if there exists $N\geq 0$ such that each element of $\mathcal{D}$ is recursively starlike-equivalent of filtration length N. We prove that any null, recursively starlike-equivalent decomposition $\mathcal{D}$ of a compact metric space X shrinks, that is, the quotient map $X\to X/\mathcal{D}$ is the limit of a sequence of homeomorphisms. This is a strong generalisation of results of Denman–Starbird and Freedman and is applicable to the proof of Freedman’s celebrated disc embedding theorem. The latter leads to a multitude of foundational results for topological 4-manifolds, including the four-dimensional Poincaré conjecture.
We present several formulations of the large deviation principle for empirical measures in the V topology, depending on the initial distribution. The case V = B(S) is further studied.
We relate the rate functions introduced in Chapters 2 and 3 to the functions I and Isubindex ψ. We establish conditions for the equality I= Isubindex ψ. We introduce the conditions V.1′–V.4.
We obtain lower bounds for bounded vector-valued additive functionals and use them to obtain lower bounds for empirical measures. We prove a lower semicontinuity property of Λ.
We study large deviations for general vector-valued additive functionals. The relationship between large deviations for empirical measures and large deviations for additive functionals is discussed.
