Abstract

Poincaré-Sobolev-type inequalities involving rearrangement-invariant norms on the entire \(\mathbb R^n\) are provided. Namely, inequalities of the type \(\Vert u-P\Vert _{Y(\mathbb R^n)}\le C\Vert \nabla ^m u\Vert _{X(\mathbb R^n)}\), where X and Y are either rearrangement-invariant spaces over \(\mathbb R^n\) or Orlicz spaces over \(\mathbb R^n\), u is a \(m-\)times weakly differentiable function whose gradient is in X, P is a polynomial of order at most \(m-1\), depending on u, and C is a constant independent of u, are studied. In a sense optimal rearrangement-invariant spaces or Orlicz spaces Y in these inequalities when the space X is fixed are found. A variety of particular examples for customary function spaces are also provided.
