1 Mathematical Research Letters 4, ) HARDY S INEQUALITIES FOR SOBOLEV FUNCTIONS Juha Kinnunen and Olli Martio Abstract. The fractional maximal function of the gradient gives a pointwise interpretation of Hardy s inequality for functions u W 1,p 0 ). With mild assumptions on Hardy s inequality holds for a function u W 1,p ) if and only if u W 1,p 0 ). 1. Introduction The fractional maximal function of a locally integrable function f : R n [, ] is defined by 1.1) M α fx) = sup r α n fy) dy, 0 α n. r>0 Bx,r) The fractional maximal function is a classical tool in harmonic analysis, but it is also useful in studying Sobolev functions and partial differential equations. The fundamental fact is that the oscillation of a Sobolev function is controlled by the fractional maximal function of the gradient. To be more precise, suppose that u W 1,p R n ) and let 0 α<p. Then there is a constant c, depending only on n, such that 1.2) ux) uy) c x y 1 α/p M α/p Du x)+m α/p Du y) ) for every x, y R n \ N with N = 0. The proof of this elegant inequality essentially is due to Hedberg [He]. Recently Bojarski and Haj lasz have employed 1.2) in studying Sobolev functions, see [BH], [Ha1] and [Ha3]. Lewis [Le1] has also used 1.2) to construct a Lipschitz continuous test function for elliptic systems of partial differential equations. Several properties of Sobolev functions, including pointwise behaviour, approximation by Hölder continuous functions, Sobolev s, Poincaré s and Morrey s lemmas, follow from 1.2). We discuss some of these applications in Section 2. Received February 27, Mathematics Subject Classification. 42B25, 46E35, 31B15. Key words and phrases.

2 490 JUHA KINNUNEN AND OLLI MARTIO In Section 3 we apply 1.2) to Sobolev functions with zero boundary values. To this end, let be an open set such that R n \ is uniformly p fat. This means that there is a constant γ>0such that C p R n \ ) Bx, r),bx, 2r) ) ) γ C p Bx, r),bx, 2r) for every x R n \ and for all radii r>0. Here C p refers to the ordinary variational p capacity, see [HKM, Ch. 2]. This requirement is not very restrictive, since all Lipschitz domains or domains satisfying the exterior cone condition are uniformly p fat for every p, 1 <p<. Ifp>n, then the complement of every open set R n is uniformly p fat. Suppose that u W 1,p 0 ). If R n \ is uniformly p fat and 0 α<p, then we show that there is a constant c, depending only on p and n and the geometry of, such that 1.3) ux) c distx, ) 1 α/p M α Du p x) ) 1/p for almost every x. In particular, if p > n, then 1.3) holds provided R n. By integrating 1.3) over and using the Hardy Littlewood Wiener maximal theorem we obtain a new proof for Hardy s inequality 1.4) ux) ) p dx c distx, ) Dux) p dx. The constant c depends only on p and n and the geometry of. It has come to our attention that Piotr Haj lasz [Ha2] has obtained another proof for Hardy s inequality 1.4) using similar ideas. We also show that Hardy s inequality is a necessary and sufficient condition for a function in W 1,p ) to belong to W 1,p 0 ) provided R n \ is uniformly p fat. In fact, we prove a stronger result which generalizes results in [K, p. 74] and [EE, p. 223]. Hardy s inequalities have been studied extensively under various conditions on. The classical one dimensional Hardy s inequality can be found in [HLP, p. 240]. Higher dimensional versions have been investigated in [A], [EH], [Le2], [K], [Maz, 2.3.3], [Mi], [OK], [W1] and [W2]. Our notation is standard. The function u belongs to the Sobolev space W 1,p ), R n open, 1 p, provided u L p ) and the first weak partial derivatives also belong to L p ). We endow the Sobolev space W 1,p ) with the norm u 1,p, = u p, + Du p,. If = R n, we denote u 1,p,R n = u 1,p. We recall that W 1,p 0 ) is the completion of C 0 ) in the norm u 1,p,. For properties of the Sobolev functions we refer to the monograph [Z]. Various positive constants throughout the paper are denoted by c and they may differ even on the same line. The dependence on parameters is expressed, for example, by c = cn, p).
3 HARDY S INEQUALITIES FOR SOBOLEV FUNCTIONS Maximal function inequalities For 0 α n the fractional maximal function of a locally integrable function f : R n [, ] is defined by M α fx) = sup r α n fy) dy. r>0 Bx,r) For α = 0we obtain the Hardy Littlewood maximal function and we write M 0 = M. The set E λ = { x R n : M α fx) >λ }, λ 0, is open and hence the fractional maximal function is lower semicontinuous. Next we give some estimates for the measure of E λ. To this end, the Hausdorff d measure, 0 <d<, ofe R n is H d E) = lim δ 0 H d δe), where { HδE) d = inf ri d : E i=1 i=1 } Bx i,r i ),r i δ, 0 <δ. H d E) is the Hausdorff d content of E. Clearly H d E) H d δ E) Hd E) for every 0 <δ. The standard Vitali covering argument, see [BZ, Lemma 3.2], yields the following weak type inequality for the fractional maximal function Lemma. Suppose that f L 1 R n ) and 0 α<n. Then there is a constant c = cn, α) such that 2.2) H n α E λ ) c fx) dx, λ > 0. λ R n If α = 0, then the Hausdorff content may be replaced by the Lebesgue measure. Next we recall a pointwise inequality for a smooth function in terms of the fractional maximal function. This estimate is well known, the proof relies on an argument due to Hedberg, see [He] and [Ha1] Theorem. Suppose that u C R n ) and let 1 p<, 0 α<p.let χ be the characteristic function of the ball Bx 0,R). Then there is a constant c = cn) such that 2.4) ux) uy) c x y 1 α/p M α/p Du χ)x)+m α/p Du χ)y) )
4 492 JUHA KINNUNEN AND OLLI MARTIO for every x, y Bx 0,R). Sketch of the proof. The proof follows easily from inequalities 2.5) 1 Duy) ux) uy) dy cn) dy Bx 0,R) Bx 0,R) Bx 0,R) x y n 1 cn) R 1 α/p M α/p Du χ)x), for every x Bx 0,R). Inequality 2.4) has turned out to be very useful in studying the Sobolev spaces. We take an opportunity to briefly describe some of the main developments here; some of our observations are folklore, but there are also new aspects. Since smooth functions are dense in W 1,p ), we see that for an arbitrary Sobolev function u W 1,p R n ) inequality 2.4) holds whenever x, y Bx 0,R)\ N with N = 0. In this case we say that 2.4) holds for almost every x and y. The Sobolev embedding theorems and the Poincaré inequalities are easy consequences of 2.4), see [He] and [Z]. Suppose that u W 1,p R n ). Hölder s inequality implies 2.6) M α/p Du x) cn, p) M α Du p x) ) 1/p, x R n. If n<p<, then we may take α = n and 2.7) Mn Du p x) ) 1/p Du p <, x R n. By combining this observation to 2.4) we see that 2.8) ux) uy) cn, p) Du p x y 1 n/p for almost every x, y R n. This shows that u C 1 n/p R n ) after redefinition on a set of measure zero. This is the Sobolev embedding theorem in the case n<p<. Suppose that 1 p n and 0 α<minp, n). If M α Du p is bounded, then after redefinition on a set of measure zero, u C 1 α/p R n ) by 2.4). This is Morrey s lemma [Mo, Theorem 3.5.2]. Even if M α Du p is unbounded, then 2.9) ux) uy) cn, p)λ x y 1 α/p, for almost every x, y R n \ E λ, where E λ = { x R n : M α Du p x) >λ p}, λ 0. This means that the function u W 1,p R n )ishölder continuous in the set R n \ E λ after redefinition on a set of measure zero. Then we may extend it

This is the classical McShane extension [Mc] of u R n \E λ. Using estimate 2.2) we see that for every λ>0there is an open set E λ and a function u λ such that 1) u λ C 1 α/p R n ), 2) u λ x) =ux) for a.e. x R n \ E λ, 3) H n α E λ ) cn, α)λ p Du p p. In particular, if α = 0, then the function u λ is Lipschitz continuous. This has been previously studied by Malý [Mal]. His proof is based on the representation of Sobolev functions as Bessel potentials. Usually a Sobolev function u W 1,p R n ) is defined only up to a set of measure zero, but following [BH] we define u pointwise by ) ũx) = lim sup uy) dy. r 0 Bx, r) Bx,r) By Lebesgue s theorem not only limit superior but limit exists and equals to u almost everywhere. In fact, the limit exists except on a set of capacity zero, but we do not need this refinement here. Hence the pointwise definition coincides with u almost everywhere and represents the same element in W 1,p R n ). Then we may proceed as in [BH] and show that inequality 2.4) holds everywhere for every function u W 1,p R n ) defined pointwise by 2.10). If p>n, then by 2.7) every ũ W 1,p R n ) belongs to C 1 n/p R n ) and hence all points are Lebesgue points for ũ. Suppose then that 1 p n and 0 α<p. Using 2.4) it is easy to see that x is a Lebesgue point of ũ provided M α/p Du x) <. This observation is a sharpening of [BH, Lemma 4]. The set of non-lebesgue points of ũ is contained in E = { x R n : M α Du p x) = }. The weak type estimate 2.2) implies that H n α E ) cn, α)λ p Du p p, λ > 0. Letting λ we see that H n α E ) = 0. Hence the set of non-lebesgue points has n α) Hausdorff content zero for every α < p. Since the Hausdorff content and the Hausdorff measure have the same null sets, also the n α) dimensional Hausdorff measure of E is zero. In general, a function u W 1,p R n ) has Lebesgue points outside a set of capacity zero, which is of course a stronger result, but our approach gives a concrete method to check whether a given point is a Lebesgue point. For further applications of 2.4) we refer to [BH], [Ha1], [Ha3] and [Le1].
6 494 JUHA KINNUNEN AND OLLI MARTIO 3. Hardy s inequality Suppose first that p>n, n<q<p,0 α<q, and let R n be an open set. Let u C 0 ). Fix x and take x 0 such that x x 0 = distx, ) = R. Then we use 2.4) together with 2.6) and obtain 3.1) ux) cn, q) x x 0 1 n/q ) 1/q Duy) q dy Bx,2R) cn, q) R 1 α/q ) 1/q R α n Duy) q dy Bx,2R) cn, q) distx, ) 1 α/q M α Du q x) ) 1/q. For u W 1,p 0 ) inequality 3.1) holds almost everywhere. Integrating 3.1) with α = 0over and using the Hardy Littlewood Wiener maximal function theorem [S, Theorem I.1] we arrive at ux) ) p dx c M Du q x) ) p/q dx distx, ) 3.2) c Dux) p dx, c = cn, p, q). Since the constant in 3.2) is independent of u C0 ), a simple approximation argument shows that 3.2) holds for every u W 1,p 0 ). This gives a proof for the well known Hardy s inequality for all open sets with non-empty complements if n<p<. The case 1 <p nis more involved, since then extra conditions must be imposed on, see [Le2, Theorem 3]. However, there is a sufficient condition in terms of the capacity density of the complement Definition. A closed set E R n is uniformly p fat, 1 <p<, if there is a constant γ>0such that ) ) 3.4) C p E Bx, r),bx, 2r) γ Cp Bx, r),bx, 2r) for every x E and for all radii r>0. Here C p K, ) denotes the variational p capacity { } C p K, ) = inf Dux) p dx: u C0 ), ux) 1 for x K of the condenser K, ). Here is open and K is a compact subset of. For information on the capacity we refer to [HKM, Ch. 2]. We recall that 3.5) C p Bx, r),bx, 2r) ) = cn, p) r n p.
7 HARDY S INEQUALITIES FOR SOBOLEV FUNCTIONS Examples. 1) If p>n, then all non empty closed sets are uniformly p fat. 2) All closed sets satisfying the interior cone condition are uniformly p fat for every p, 1 <p<. 3) The complements of the Lipschitz domains are uniformly p fat for every p, 1<p<. 4) If there is a constant γ>0such that Bx, r) E γ Bx, r) for every x E and r > 0, then E is uniformly p fat for every p, 1 <p<. The fundamental property of uniformly fat sets is the following deep result due to Lewis [Le2, Theorem 1]. For another proof see [Mi, Theorem 8.2] Theorem. Let E R n be a closed uniformly p fat set. Then there is q, 1 <q<psuch that E is uniformly q fat. If R n is an open set such that R n \ is uniformly p fat, then Lewis proved [Le2, Theorem 2] that Hardy s inequality holds. We have already seen that Hardy s inequality follows from pointwise inequalities involving the Hardy Littlewood maximal function if p>n. We show that this is the case also when 1 <p n. In the proof we need the following version of Poincaré s inequality. For the proof see [Mi, Lemma 8.11], [KK, 3.1] or [Maz, Ch. 10] Lemma. Suppose that 1 <p<, let u C R n ) and denote Z = { x R n : ux) =0 }. Then there is c = cn, p) such that 1 ) 1/p uy) p dy Bx 0, 2R) Bx 0,R) c C p Z Bx0,R),Bx 0, 2R) ) 1 Bx 0,2R) Now we are ready to prove a pointwise Hardy s inequality. Duy) p dy) 1/p Theorem. Let 1 <p n, 0 α<p, let R n be an open set such that R n \ is uniformly p fat and suppose that u C 0 ). Then there is a constant c, depending only on p, n and γ in 3.4), such that 3.10) ux) c distx, ) 1 α/p M α Du p x) ) 1/p, x.
8 496 JUHA KINNUNEN AND OLLI MARTIO Proof. Let x and choose x 0 such that x x 0 = distx, ) =R. We define u and Du to be zero in the complement of. Then by 2.5) and 2.6) we have ux) u Bx0,2R) cn, p) R 1 α/p M α Du p x) ) 1/p, x Bx0, 2R), and hence ux) ux) u Bx0,2R) + u Bx0,2R) cr 1 α/p M α Du p x) ) 1/p + u Bx0,2R), x Bx 0, 2R). Here we use the familiar notation u Bx,r) = 1 uy) dy. Bx, r) Bx,r) Using Lemma 3.8, 3.4) and 3.5) we arrive at 1 uy) dy Bx 0, 2R) Bx 0,2R) c C p Z Bx0, 2R),Bx 0, 4R) ) 1 Bx 0,4R) c C p R n \ ) Bx 0, 2R),Bx 0, 4R) ) 1 ) 1/p c R p n Duy) p dy Bx,8R) cr 1 α/p M α Du p x) ) 1/p, This completes the proof. c = cn, p, γ). ) 1/p Duy) p dy Bx 0,4R) ) 1/p Duy) p dy If R n \ is p fat, then by Theorem 3.7 it is q fat for some 1 <q<p n. Using 3.10) with α = 0we get ux) cn, q) distx, ) M Du q x) ) 1/q, x. Integrating and using the Hardy Littlewood Wiener theorem exactly the same way as in 3.2), we get the proof for Hardy s inequality also in the case 1 <p n. Again, an approximation argument shows that Hardy s inequality holds for every u W 1,p 0 ). Observe that the existence of q<pgiven by Theorem 3.7 is essential here, since the Hardy Littlewood Wiener theorem does not hold in L 1 R n ). Thus we have given a new proof for the following result.
9 HARDY S INEQUALITIES FOR SOBOLEV FUNCTIONS Corollary. Let 1 <p< and suppose that R n is an open set such that R n \ is uniformly p fat. If u W 1,p 0 ), then there is a constant c, depending on p, n and γ in 3.4), such that 3.12) ux) ) p dx c distx, ) Dux) p dx. In particular, if p>n, then 3.12) holds provided R n. For different proofs of Corollary 3.11 we refer to [A] in the case p = n =2) [Le2] and [Mi]. If p = n, then Hardy s inequality is equivalent to the fact that R n \ is uniformly p fat, see [Le2, Theorem 3]. Another necessary and sufficient condition is given in [Maz 2.3.3]. It is known that u W 1,p ) belongs to W 1,p 0 ) ifux)/ distx, ) L p ) without any restrictions on, see [EE, p. 223]. In particular, if Hardy s inequality holds, this is true. We improve this result here. For this end, we record that a function f : [, ] belongs to the weak L p ) if there is a constant c so that {x : fx) >λ} cλ p, λ > Theorem. Let be an open set and suppose that u W 1,p ) with 1 <p<. Then u W 1,p 0 ) provided ux)/ distx, ) belongs to the weak L p ). Proof. First we suppose that is bounded. Then it is easy to see that ux)/ distx, ) belongs to L q ) for every q < p. Using Theorem 3.4 in [EE, p. 223] we conclude that u W 1,q 0 ) for every q < p. In particular, this implies that u has the generalized gradient Du in R n. Moreover, ux) =0 and Dux) = 0for almost every x R n \. We define u and Du to be zero in R n \ and the above discussion implies that u W 1,p R n ). One can also check directly, without using the result in [EE], that the zero extension to the complement belongs to W 1,p R n ). This can be done, for example, by using the ACL characterization of the Sobolev functions. Let N R n, N = 0, be the exceptional set for inequality 2.4) and denote 3.14) F λ = { x \ N : ux) λ, M Du p x) λ p and ux) / distx, ) λ } R n \ ), λ > 0. We show that u Fλ is cn, p)λ Lipschitz continuous. Suppose that x, y F λ. Then by 2.4) and 3.14) we get ux) uy) cn, p) x y M Du p x)) 1/p +M Du p y)) 1/p) cn, p)λ x y.
10 498 JUHA KINNUNEN AND OLLI MARTIO If x F λ and y R n \, wehave ux) uy) = ux) λ distx, ) λ x y. If x, y R n \, then the claim is clear. Since all the other cases follow by symmetry, it follows that u Fλ is Lipschitz continuous with the constant cn, p)λ. Then we extend u Fλ to a Lipschitz continuous function u λ to R n with the same constant by defining ) u λ x) = inf uy)+cn, p)λ x y y F λ and finally we set u λ x) = sgn ux) min u λ x),λ). This is a slight modification of the classical McShane extension [Mc]. Then u λ enjoys the following properties: 1) u λ x) =ux) for every x F λ. 2) u λ x) λ for every x R n. 3) Du λ x) cn, p)λ for every x R n. 4) u λ x) = 0when x R n \. 5) Du λ x) =Dux) for almost every x F λ. We write Fλ 1 = { x : ux) >λ }, Fλ 2 = { x : M Du p x) >λ p}, Fλ 3 = { x : ux) / distx, ) >λ }. Then 3.15) Du λ x) p dx + F λ F 2 λ Dux) p dx + Du λ x) p dx + F 3 λ F 1 λ Du λ x) p dx Du λ x) p dx. We estimate the integrals on the right side separately. Using the fact that Du λ x) cn, p)λ we see that Du λ x) p dx cn, p)λ p {x : ux) >λ} F 1 λ cn, p) ux) p dx and by the weak type inequality 2.2) we find Du λ x) p dx cn, p)λ p {x R n : M Du p x) >λ p } F 2 λ cn, p) Dux) p dx.
11 HARDY S INEQUALITIES FOR SOBOLEV FUNCTIONS 499 Finally, using the definition of Fλ 3 and the hypothesis that ux)/ distx, ) belongs to the weak L p ) we obtain Du λ x) p dx cn, p)λ p {x : ux) / distx, )>λ} cn, p, u) <. F 3 λ The obtained estimates and 3.15) imply Du λ x) p dx 3.16) c ux) p dx + c Dux) p dx + c, c = cn, p, u), for every λ>0and hence the family Du λ is bounded in L p ) uniformly in λ. Using the weak type inequality 2.2) in the same manner as in estimating the gradient we see that also u λ is bounded in L p ) uniformly in λ and 3.17) u λ x) p dx c ux) p dx+c Dux) p dx+c, c = cn, p, u), for every λ>0. Since u λ is Lipschitz and u λ x) = 0when x R n \ we conclude that u λ W 1,p 0 ) for every λ>0. Estimates 3.16) and 3.17) show that u λ is uniformly bounded family in W 1,p 0 ) and u λ 1,p, cn, p) u 1,p, + cn, p, u) for every λ>0. Finally, since \F λ 0as λ and u λ coincides with u in F λ, we see that u λ u almost everywhere in. Since u λ is uniformly bounded family in W 1,p 0 ) and u λ u almost everywhere in, a weak compactness argument shows that u W 1,p 0 ). Suppose then that is unbounded. Let x 0. Choose a cut off function φ i C0 ), i =1, 2,..., be such that 0 φ i x) 1 for every x R n, φ i x) =1 if x Bx 0,i), φ i x) =0ifx R n \ Bx 0, 2i) and Dφ i x) c with c independent of i. Let v i = φ i u and denote i = Bx 0, 4i) for i =1, 2,... Then v i W 1,p ) and v i u in W 1,p ) asi. Clearly v i x) / distx, i ) belongs to the weak L p i ), i =1, 2,... Since i is bounded, we obtain v i W 1,p 0 i ) and hence v i W 1,p 0 ). Since v i u in W 1,p ), we conclude that u W 1,p 0 ). This completes the proof Remark. It is known, [K, p. 74], that if is a Lipschitz-domain, then u W 1,p ) belongs to W 1,p 0 ) if and only if ux)/ distx, ) belongs to L p ). We show that the condition on can be considerably weakened. Let p>n, R n and u W 1,p ). Then by 3.2) and Theorem 3.13 u W 1,p 0 ) if and only if u satisfies Hardy s inequality with the exponent p. If 1 <p n and R n \ is uniformly p fat, then u W 1,p ) belongs to W 1,p 0 ) if and only if ux)/ distx, ) isinweakl p ).
