Morrey's classical inequality implies the Hölder continuity of a function whose gradient is sufficiently integrable. Another consequence is the Hardy-type inequality λ\biggl‖\fracudΩ1-n/p\biggr‖∞p≤ ∫Ω|Du|p dx for any open set Ω\subsetneq ℝn. This inequality is valid for functions supported in Ω and with λ a positive constant independent of u. The crucial hypothesis is that the exponent p exceeds the dimension n. This paper aims to develop a basic theory for this inequality and the associated variational problem. In particular, we study the relationship between the geometry of Ω, sharp constants, and the existence of a nontrivial u which saturates the inequality.
