We prove an inequality ofthe form fen a(lxl)7,-(dx) _> fen a(lxl)T,_ (dx), where Q is a bounded domain in R" with smooth boundary, B is a ball centered in the origin having the same measure as f. From this we derive inequalities comparing a weighted $obolev norm of a given function with the norm ofits symmetric decreasing rearrangement. Furthermore, we use the inequality to obtain comparison results for elliptic boundary value problems.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
