Abstract
We develop sharp Hardy-type inequalities for boundary flux functionals generated by dilations of a fixed smooth set in R
n. The
method combines the divergence theorem with rearrangement
bounds to reduce flux estimates to one-dimensional Hardy averages. Directional, divergence-form, and multi-flux inequalities are
obtained in arbitrary dimension with the optimal constant
p
p−1
p
,
and sharpness is shown by explicit near-extremizing constructions
