A Poincare's inequality with non-uniformly degenerating gradient (Q2220388)

Main goal of the author is to show a Poincaré type \(p - q\) inequality in a homogeneous space \((\mathbb{R}^N, d,\mu)\) estimating the weighted Lebesgue norm of a Lipschitz continuous function \(f\) on a bounded convex domain \(\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^N\) via the Lebesgue norm of its non-uniformly degenerating gradient. Then, the author studies regularity properties of weak solutions of second-order semi-elliptic equations \(\operatorname{div} (A(x)\nabla u) = 0\) with matrix \(A(x) \geq 0\). The general results obtained in the first two theorems allow the author to claim new assertions on the Poincaré-Sobolev inequality and he further studies equations containing a Grushin-type operator.
