We study the question of nonexistence of extremal functions for perturbations of some sharp inequalities such as those of Moser-Trudinger (1971) and Chang- Marshall (1985). We shall show that for each critically sharp (in a sense that will be precisely defined) inequality of the form
where
is a collection of measurable functions on a finite measure space (I, μ) and O a nonnegative continuous function on [0, ∞), we have a continuous Ψ on [0, ∞) with 0 ≤ Ψ ≤ Φ, but with
not being attained even if the supremum in (1) is attained. We then apply our results to the Moser-Trudinger and Chang-Marshall inequalities. Our result is to be contrasted with the fact shown by Matheson and Pruss (1994) that if Ψ(t) = o(Φ(t) as t —> ∞ then the supremum in (2) is attained. In the present paper, we also give a converse to that fact.
