Partial Differential Equations
A variant of Poincaré's inequality
[Une variante de l'inégalité de Poincaré]
Comptes Rendus. Mathématique, Tome 337 (2003) no. 4, pp. 253-257.

Soit Ω N ,N2, un domaine lipschitzien borné. Étant donnée une suite de fonctions radiales positives (ρ n )L 1 ( N ) qui converge vers la masse de Dirac δ0 on montre qu'il existe C>0 et n0⩾1 tels que

Ωf- Ωf p C Ω Ω|f(x)-f(y)| p |x-y| p ρ n (|x-y|)dxdyfL p (Ω)nn 0 .
Cette estimation a été motivée par un travail récent de Bourgain, Brezis et Mironescu (dans : Optimal Control and Partial Differential Equations, IOS Press, 2001, pp. 439–455). En prenant la limite dans (2) lorsque n→∞, on retrouve l'inégalité de Poincaré. On généralise aussi un théorème de compacité de Bourgain, Brezis et Mironescu.

We show that if Ω N ,N2, is a bounded Lipschitz domain and (ρ n )L 1 ( N ) is a sequence of nonnegative radial functions weakly converging to δ0 then there exist C>0 and n0⩾1 such that

Ωf- Ωf p C Ω Ω|f(x)-f(y)| p |x-y| p ρ n (|x-y|)dxdyfL p (Ω)nn 0 .
The above estimate was suggested by some recent work of Bourgain, Brezis and Mironescu (in: Optimal Control and Partial Differential Equations, IOS Press, 2001, pp. 439–455). As n→∞ in (1) we recover Poincaré's inequality. We also extend a compactness result of Bourgain, Brezis and Mironescu.
