The Best Constant of Sobolev Inequality Corresponding to Clamped Boundary Value Problem

Abstract

Green's function of the clamped boundary value problem for the differential operator on the interval is obtained. The best constant of corresponding Sobolev inequality is given by . In addition, it is shown that a reverse of the Sobolev best constant is the one which appears in the generalized Lyapunov inequality by Das and Vatsala (1975).
