The Trudinger-Moser inequality states that for functions u ∈ H01,n(Ω) (Ω⊂ \mathbb Rn a bounded domain) with ∫Ω|∇ u|ndx ≤ 1 one has ∫Ω(e^αn|u|^\frac nn-1-1)dx ≤ c |Ω|, with c independent of u. Recently, the second author has shown that for n = 2 the bound c |Ω| may be replaced by a uniform constant d independent of Ω if the Dirichlet norm is replaced by the Sobolev norm, i.e. requiring ∫Ω(|∇ u|n + |u|n)dx ≤ 1. We extend here this result to arbitrary dimensions n > 2. Also, we prove that for Ω= \mathbb Rn the supremum of ∫\mathbb Rn (e^αn|u|^\frac nn-1-1)dx over all such functions is attained. The proof is based on a blow-up procedure.
