On mixed local-nonlocal Sobolev-type inequalities and their connection with singular equations in the Heisenberg group

Prashanta Garain

Abstract. In this work, we establish a mixed local-nonlocal Sobolev-type inequality in the Heisenberg group and demonstrate that its extremals coincide with solutions to the corresponding mixed local-nonlocal singular \(p\)-Laplace equations. We further show that these inequalities serve as a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of weak solutions to the associated singular problems. Notably, the same characterization remains valid in both the purely local and purely nonlocal settings. Our results thus provide a unified framework linking the existence theory for singular equations across local, nonlocal, and mixed regimes.

Keywords: Sobolev type inequality, extremal, mixed local-nonlocal singular problem, Heisenberg group.
