Extract

The Hardy-Rellich inequality given here generalizes a Hardy inequality of Davies, from the case of the Dirichlet Laplacian of a region Ω ⊆ ℝN to that of the higher-order polyharmonic operators with Dirichlet boundary conditions. The inequality yields some immediate spectral information for the polyharmonic operators and also bounds on the trace of the associated semigroups and resolvents.
