Let
$ \Omega $
 be the smooth bounded domian in
$ \mathbb{R}^2 $
,
$ W_0^{1, 2}(\Omega) $
 be the standard Sobolev space. We concern a Trudinger-Moser inequality involving
$ L^p $
 norms. For any
$ p>1 $
, denote
$ \lambda_p(\Omega) = \inf\limits_{u\in W_0^{1, 2}(\Omega), u\not\equiv0} \frac{\|\nabla u\|_2^2}{\|u\|_p^2}. $
We prove that for any
$ p>1 $
 and any
$ 0\leq\tau<\lambda_p $
, there exists a positive real number
$ \tau^\ast $
 such that if
$ \tau^\ast <\tau<\lambda_p $
, the supremum
$ \begin{equation*} \sup\limits_{u\in W_0^{1, 2}(\Omega), \, \| \nabla u\|_{2}^2\leq4 \pi}\int_{\Omega}e^{ u^2 (1+\tau\|u\|_p^2)}dx, \end{equation*} $
can not be achieved by any
$ u\in W_0^{1, 2}(\Omega) $
 with
$ \| \nabla u\|_{2}^2\leq4 \pi $
. This is based on a method of energy estimate, which is developed by [14, 15, 16].
Keywords: Trudinger-Moser inequality, energy estimate, extremal function.
