Higher order Glaeser inequalities and optimal regularity of roots of real functions
Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze, Série 5, Tome 12 (2013) no. 4, pp. 1001-1021.

We prove a higher order generalization of the Glaeser inequality, according to which one can estimate the first derivative of a function in terms of the function itself and the Hölder constant of its k-th derivative.

We apply these inequalities in order to obtain pointwise estimates on the derivative of the (k+α)-th root of a function of class C k whose derivative of order k is α-Hölder continuous. Thanks to such estimates, we prove that the root is not just absolutely continuous, but its derivative has a higher summability exponent.

Some examples show that our results are optimal.
