Abstract
In present work, we first establish the corresponding Sobolev inequality and Poincaré inequality on the cone Sobolev spaces, and then, as an application of such inequalities, we prove the existence of non-trivial weak solution for Dirichlet boundary value problem for a class of non-linear elliptic equation on manifolds with conical singularities.
