Abstract

We derive sharp Sobolev embeddings on a class of Sobolev spaces with potential weights without assuming any boundary conditions. Moreover, we consider the Adams-type inequalities for the borderline Sobolev embedding into the exponential class with a sharp constant. As applications, we prove that the associated elliptic equations with nonlinearities in both forms of polynomial and exponential growths admit nontrivial solutions.
