Abstract
In this paper we focus our attention on an embedding result for a weighted Sobolev space that involves as weight the distance function from the boundary taken with respect to a general smooth gauge function F. Starting from this type of inequalities we prove some refined Hardy-type inequalities.

Notes
Since \(d_F\in \mathrm{BV}(\varOmega )\), its level sets \(\{d_F<r\}\) are of finite perimeter for a.e. \(r\in (0,\infty )\) (see [12, Theorem 1–§5.5])
