Green’s function Gx, y of the clamped boundary value problem for the differential operator −1M d/dx2M on the interval −s, s is obtained. The best constant of corresponding Sobolev inequality is given by max|y|≤s Gy, y. In addition, it is shown that a reverse of the Sobolev best constant is the one which appears in the generalized Lyapunov inequality by Das and Vatsala 1975.

Boundary Value Problems
The fact that ·, ·M induces the equivalent norm to the standard norm of the Sobolev Hilbert space of Mth order follows from Poincar´e inequality. Let us introduce the functional Su as follows: Su

To obtain the supremum of S i.e., the best constant of Sobolev inequality, we consider the following clamped boundary value problem: −1M u2M fx −s < x < s, BVPM

u ±s 0 0 ≤ i ≤ M − 1. Concerning the uniqueness and existence of the solution to BVPM, we have the following proposition. The result is expressed by the monomial Kj x: ⎧ x2M−1−j ⎪ ⎪ ⎨ 2M − 1 − j ! Kj x Kj M; x ⎪ ⎪ ⎩ 0
0 ≤ j ≤ 2M − 1 , 2M ≤ j .
