Abstract
We consider the generalized Gagliardo–Nirenberg inequality in \({\mathbb{R}}^n\) in the homogeneous Sobolev space \(\dot{H}^{s, r}({\mathbb{R}}^n)\) with the critical differential order s = n/r, which describes the embedding such as \(L^p({\mathbb{R}}^n) \cap \dot{H}^{n/r,r}({\mathbb{R}}^n) \subset L^q({\mathbb{R}}^n)\) for all q with p ≦ q < ∞, where 1 < p < ∞ and 1 < r < ∞. We establish the optimal growth rate as q → ∞ of this embedding constant. In particular, we realize the limiting end-point r = ∞ as the space of BMO in such a way that \(||u||_{L^{q}({\mathbb{R}}^n)} \leqq C_n q||u||_{L^{p}({\mathbb{R}}^n)}^{\frac{p}{q}}||u||_{BMO}^{1-\frac{p}{q}}\) with the constant C n depending only on n. As an application, we make it clear that the well known John–Nirenberg inequality is a consequence of our estimate. Furthermore, it is clarified that the L ∞-bound is established by means of the BMO-norm and the logarithm of the \(\dot{H}^{s, r}\) -norm with s > n/r, which may be regarded as a generalization of the Brezis–Gallouet–Wainger inequality.
