Abstract

This paper describes sharp inequalities for the trace of Sobolev functions on the boundary of a bounded region Ω ⊂ ℝN. The inequalities bound (semi-)norms of the boundary trace by certain norms of the function, its gradient on the region and by two specific constants κρ and κΩ associated with the domain and a weight function, respectively. These inequalities are sharp in that there exist functions for which equality holds. Explicit inequalities in some special cases when the region is a ball, or the region between two balls, are evaluated.
