Sharp Higher Order Adams’ Inequality with Exact Growth Condition on Weighted Sobolev Spaces

This paper introduces a novel higher order Adams inequality that incorporates an exact growth condition for a class of weighted Sobolev spaces. Our rigorous proof confirms the validity of this inequality and provides insights into the optimal nature of the critical constant and the exponent within the denominator. Furthermore, we apply this inequality to study a class of ordinary differential equations (ODEs), where we successfully derive both a concept of the weak solution and a comprehensive regularity theory.
