A Note on the Poincaré Inequality for Convex Domains

Mario Bebendorf
Mathematisches Institut, Universität Leipzig, Augustusplatz 10/11, 04109 Leipzig, Germany



A proof for the Poincaré inequality with explicit constant for convex domains is given. This proof is a modification of the original proof of L. F. Payne and H. F. Weinberger [Arch. Rat. Mech. Anal. 5 (1960) 286--292], which is valid only for the two-dimensional case.

Keywords: Poincaré inequality, convex domains.
