Abstract
We consider the Yamabe invariant of a compact orbifold with finitely many singular points We prove a fundamental inequality for the estimate of the invariant from above which also includes a criterion for the nonpositivity of it Moreover we give a sufficient condition for the equality in the inequality In order to prove it we also solve the orbifold Yamabe problem under a certain condition We use these results to give some exact computations of the Yamabe invariant of compact orbifolds
