Nonsingularity and odd-order initial conditions for weighted polyharmonic minimizers

Let mm and α\alpha be the parameters defining the weighted Sobolev quotient S(m,2,α,α,)\mathcal{S}(m,2,\alpha,\alpha,\infty), and suppose that this quotient admits a 00-th nonsingular minimizer at r=0r=0. Nonsingularity conjecture. The 00-th nonsingular minimizers for S(m,2,α,α,)\mathcal{S}(m,2,\alpha,\alpha,\infty) are necessarily (2m1)(2m-1)-th nonsingular at r=0r=0 and satisfy the odd-order left-zero initial conditions. This assertion is known when m=2m=2, while it is proposed in order to compute the best constant for m>2m>2 under the stated existence assumption.
