In this paper, we study a class of Trudinger–Moser inequality in the Sobolev space [Formula: see text]. Setting [Formula: see text] we prove: [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text] for [Formula: see text] for [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text] there exist extremal functions for [Formula: see text] if [Formula: see text]. Blow-up analysis, elliptic estimates and a version of compactness result due to Lions are used to prove (1) and (3). The proof of (2) is based on computations of testing functions which are a combination of eigenfunctions with the Moser sequence.
