On the stability constant of Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg inequality

Abstract

By using a spectral analysis, we first show that the Caffarelli--Kohn--Nirenberg inequality with gradient remainder term of any order less than $4$ does not hold on the {\em Felli-Schneider} curve $b_{\mathrm{FS}}(a)$. Furthermore, we prove the existence of minimizers of sharp stability constant of Caffarelli--Kohn--Nirenberg inequality near the new curve $b^*_{\mathrm{FS}}(a)(>b_{\mathrm{FS}}(a))$, which extends the work of Wei and Wu [Math. Z., 2024] to a sightly larger region.
