We study optimal embeddings for the space of functions whose Laplacian Δu belongs to , where is a bounded domain. This function space turns out to be strictly larger than the Sobolev space in which the whole set of second-order derivatives is considered. In particular, in the limiting Sobolev case, when , we establish a sharp embedding inequality into the Zygmund space . On one hand, this result enables us to improve the Brezis–Merle (Brezis and Merle (1991) [13]) regularity estimate for the Dirichlet problem , on ∂Ω; on the other hand, it represents a borderline case of D.R. Adams' (1988) [1] generalization of Trudinger–Moser type inequalities to the case of higher-order derivatives. Extensions to dimension are also given. Besides, we show how the best constants in the embedding inequalities change under different boundary conditions.
