Abstract: Motivated by the equation satisfied by the extremals of certain Hardy-Sobolev type inequalities, we show sharp $ L^q$ regularity for finite energy solutions of p-Laplace equations involving critical exponents and possible singularity on a sub-space of $ \mathbb{R}^n$, which imply asymptotic behavior of the solutions at infinity. In addition, we find the best constant and extremals in the case of the considered $ L^2$ Hardy-Sobolev inequality.
