On the boundary terms in Hardy's inequalities for $W^{1,p}$ functions

Abstract

With the help of a radially invariant vector field, we derive inequalities of the Hardy kind, with no boundary terms, for $W^{1,p}$ functions on bounded star domains. Our results are not obtainable from the classical inequalities for $W_0^{1,p}$ functions. Unlike in $W_0^{1,p}$, our inequalities admit maximizers that we describe explicitly.

Shall add some illustrative pictures
