On a Generalized Gagliardo–Nirenberg Inequality with Radial Symmetry and Decaying Potentials

Abstract

We present a generalized version of a Gagliardo–Nirenberg inequality characterized by radial symmetry and involving potentials exhibiting pure power polynomial behavior. As an application of our result, we investigate the existence of extremals for this inequality, which also correspond to stationary solutions for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with inhomogeneous nonlinearity, competing with Hs-subcritical nonlinearities, either of a local or nonlocal nature.
