Abstract:
For all functions on an arbitrary open set $\Omega \subset {R^3}$ with zero boundary values, we prove the optimal bound \[ \sup_\Omega |u| \leq (2\pi )^{-1/2} (\smallint_\Omega |\nabla u|^2\,dx \smallint_\Omega |\Delta u|^2\,dx)^{1/4}. \] The method of proof is elementary and admits generalizations. The inequality is applied to establish an existence theorem for the Burgers equation.References
