Abstract: For the solution of the Poisson problem with an

L^{i} n f t y

right hand side �egin{equation*} �egin{cases} -Delta u(x) = f (x) & mbox{in } D, u=0 & mbox{on } partial D, end{cases} end{equation*} we derive an optimal estimate of the form

|u|_inftyleq |f|_infty sigma_D(|f|_1/|f|_infty),

where

s i g m a_{D}

is a modulus of continuity defined in the interval

[0, | D |]

and depends only on the domain

D

. In the case when

f g e q 0

in

D

the inequality is optimal for any domain and for any values of

| f |_{1}

and

| f |_{i} n f t y .

We also show that

sigma_D(t)leqsigma_B(t), ext{ for }tin[0,|D|],

where

B

is a ball and

| B | = | D |

. Using this optimality property of

s i g m a,

we derive Brezis-Galloute-Wainger type inequalities on the

L^{i} n f t y

norm of

u

in terms of the

L^{1}

and

L^{i} n f t y

norms of

f .

The estimates have explicit coefficients depending on the space dimension

n

and turn to equality for a specific choice of

u

when the domain

D

is a ball. As an application we derive

L^{i} n f t y - L^{1}

estimates on the

k -

th Laplace eigenfunction of the domain

D .
