We show that, in a complete metric measure space equipped with a doubling Borel regular measure, the Poincaré inequality with upper gradients introduced by Heinonen and Koskela [3] is equivalent to the Poincaré inequality with "approximate Lipschitz constants" used by Semmes in [9].

AbstractThis note investigates weaker conditions than a Poincaré inequality in analysis on metric measure spaces. We discuss two resistance conditions which are stated in terms of capacities. We show that these conditions can be characterized by versions of Sobolev–Poincaré inequalities. As a consequence, we obtain so-called Lip-lip condition related to pointwise Lipschitz constants. Moreover, we show that the pointwise Hardy inequalities and uniform fatness conditions are equivalent under an appropriate resistance condition.

Let Φ be anN-function. We show that a functionu∈LΦ(ℝn)belongs to the Orlicz-Sobolev spaceW1,Φ(ℝn)if and only if it satisfies the (generalized) Φ-Poincaré inequality. Under more restrictive assumptions on Φ, an analog of the result holds in a general metric measure space setting.

Abstract We show that, given a homeomorphism f : G → Ω {f:G\rightarrow\Omega} where G is an open subset of ℝ 2 {\mathbb{R}^{2}} and Ω is an open subset of a 2-Ahlfors regular metric measure space supporting a weak ( 1 , 1 ) {(1,1)} -Poincaré inequality, it holds f ∈ BV loc ⁡ ( G , Ω ) {f\in{\operatorname{BV_{\mathrm{loc}}}}(G,\Omega)} if and only if f - 1 ∈ BV loc ⁡ ( Ω , G ) {f^{-1}\in{\operatorname{BV_{\mathrm{loc}}}}(\Omega,G)} . Further, if f satisfies the Luzin N and N - 1 {{}^{-1}} conditions, then f ∈ W loc 1 , 1 ⁡ ( G , Ω ) {f\in\operatorname{W_{\mathrm{loc}}^{1,1}}(G,\Omega)} if and only if f - 1 ∈ W loc 1 , 1 ⁡ ( Ω , G ) {f^{-1}\in\operatorname{W_{\mathrm{loc}}^{1,1}}(\Omega,G)} .

For a measure μ on ℝn (or on a doubling metric measure space) and a Young function Φ, we define two versions of Orlicz–Poincaré inequalities as generalizations of the usual p-Poincaré inequality. It is shown that, on ℝ, one of them is equivalent to the boundedness of the Hardy–Littlewood maximal operator from LΦ(ℝ,μ) to LΦ(ℝ,μ), while the other is equivalent to a generalization of the Muckenhoupt Ap-condition. While one direction in these equivalences is valid only on ℝ, the other holds in the general setting of doubling metric measure spaces. We also characterize both Orlicz–Poincaré inequalities on metric measure spaces by means of pointwise inequalities involving maximal functions of the gradient.

AbstractCorresponding to known results on Orlicz–Sobolev inequalities which are stronger than the Poincaré inequality, this paper studies the weaker Orlicz–Poincaré inequality. More precisely, for any Young function $\varPhi$ whose growth is slower than quadric, the Orlicz–Poincaré inequality$$ \|f\|_\varPhi^2\le C\E(f,f),\qquad\mu(f):=\int f\,\mathrm{d}\mu=0 $$is studied by using the well-developed weak Poincaré inequalities, where $\E$ is a conservative Dirichlet form on $L^2(\mu)$ for some probability measure $\mu$. In particular, criteria and concrete sharp examples of this inequality are presented for $\varPhi(r)=r^p$ $(p\in[1,2))$ and $\varPhi(r)= r^2\log^{-\delta}(\mathrm{e} +r^2)$ $(\delta>0)$. Concentration of measures and analogous results for non-conservative Dirichlet forms are also obtained. As an application, the convergence rate of porous media equations is described.

AbstractWe show that Poincaré inequalities with reverse doubling weights hold in a large class of irregular domains whenever the weights satisfy certain conditions. Examples of these domains are John domains.

Let $1 \le q \le p <\infty$ and let $\mathcal{C}$ be the class of all bounded convex domains $\Omega$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$. Following the approach in `An optimal Poincaré inequality in $L^1$ for convex domains', by G. Acosta and R. G. Durán (Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 132 (2003) 195–202), we show that the best constant $C$ in the weighted Poincaré inequality$$ \| f - f_{av} \|_{L^q_w (\Omega)} \le C w(\Omega)^{\frac{1}{q} - \frac{1}{p}} \mbox{diam}(\Omega) \| \nabla f \|_{L^p_w(\Omega)} $$for all $\Omega \in \mathcal{C}$, all Lipschitz continuous functions $f$ on $\Omega$, and all weights $w$ which are any positive power of a non-negative concave function on $\Omega$ is the same as the best constant for the corresponding one-dimensional situation, where $\mathcal{C}$ reduces to the class of bounded intervals. Using facts from `Sharp conditions for weighted 1-dimensional Poincaré inequalities', by S.-K. Chua and R. L. Wheeden (Indiana Math. J. 49 (2000) 143–175), we estimate the best constant. In the case $q = 1$ and $1 <\infty$, our estimate is between the best constant and twice the best constant. Furthermore, when $p = q = 1$ or $p = q = 2$, the estimate is sharp. Finally, in the case where the domains in $\mathbb{R}^n$ are further restricted to be parallelepipeds, we obtain a slightly different form of Poincaré's inequality which is better adapted to directional derivatives and the sidelengths of the parallelepipeds. We also show that this estimate is sharp for a fixed rectangle.

Abstract Let p be a real number greater than one and let X be a locally compact, noncompact metric measure space that satisfies certain conditions. The p-Royden and p-harmonic boundaries of X are constructed by using the p-Royden algebra of functions on X and a Dirichlet type problem is solved for the p-Royden boundary. We also characterize the metric measure spaces whose p-harmonic boundary is empty.
