Description

We consider the second best constant in the Hardy-Sobolev inequality on a Riemannian manifold. More precisely, we are interested with the existence of extremal functions for this inequality. This problem was tackled by Djadli-Druet [1] for Sobolev inequalities.
Here, we establish the corresponding result for the singular case. In addition, we perform a blow-up analysis of solutions to Hardy-Sobolev equations of minimizing type. This yields information on the value of the second best constant in the related Riemannian functional inequality.
