A priori, the modified semi-norm is not known to be equivalent to the standard fractional semi-norm and in fact gives a smaller norm, in general. As such, the inequality we prove improves the classical fractional Hardy inequality for vector fields. We will use the inequality to establish the equivalence of a space of functions (of interest) defined over the half space with the classical fractional Sobolev spaces, which amounts to proving a fractional version of the classical Korn's inequality.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-05-16T17:23:10.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "half space", "vector fields", "fractional korn", "fractional hardy-type inequality", "standard fractional semi-norm" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
