On the Generalized Hardy-Rellich Inequalities

In this article, we look for the weight functions (say $g$) that admits the following generalized Hardy-Rellich type inequality: $\int_Ω g(x) u^2 dx \leq C \int_Ω |Δu|^2 dx, \forall u \in \mathcal{D}^{2,2}_0(Ω),$ for some constant $C>0$, where $Ω$ is an open set in $\mathbb{R}^N$ with $N\ge 1$. We find various classes of such weight functions, depending on the dimension $N$ and the geometry of $Ω.$ Firstly, we use the Muckenhoupt condition for the one dimensional weighted Hardy inequalities and a symmetrization inequality to obtain admissible weights in certain Lorentz-Zygmund spaces. Secondly, using the fundamental theorem of integration we obtain the weight functions in certain weighted Lebesgue spaces. As a consequence of our results, we obtain simple proofs for the embeddings of $\mathcal{D}^{2,2}_0(Ω)$ into certain Lorentz-Zygmund spaces proved by Hansson and later by Brezis and Wainger.
