Hardy and Rellich inequality on lattices

Abstract

In this paper, we study the asymptotic behaviour of the sharp constant in discrete Hardy and Rellich inequality on the lattice $\mathbb{Z}^d$ as $d \rightarrow \infty$. In the process, we proved some Hardy-type inequalities for the operators $\Delta^m$ and $\nabla(\Delta^m)$ for non-negative integers $m$ on a $d$ dimensional torus. It turns out that the sharp constant in discrete Hardy and Rellich inequality grows as $d$ and $d^2$ respectively as $ d \rightarrow \infty$.
