Hardy-type inequalities on H-type groups and anisotropic Heisenberg groups

Abstract

The author obtains some weighted Hardy-type inequalities on H-type groups and anisotropic Heisenberg groups. These inequalities generalize some recent results due to N. Garofalo, E. Lanconelli, I. Kombe and P. Niu et al.

Keywords
