Abstract:
We consider the problem of existence of extremal functions for second order Adams` inequalities with Navier boundary conditions on balls in $\mathbb R^n$ in any dimension $n \geq 4$. We also discuss some sharp weighted versions of Adams` inequality on the same spaces. The weights that we consider determine a supercritical exponential growth, except in the origin, and the corresponding inequalities hold for spherically symmetric functions only.
