A Generalized Poincare Inequality for a Class of Constant Coefficient Differential Operators

Analysis of PDEs 2009-10-13 v1

Abstract

We study first order differential operators with constant coefficients. The main question is under what conditions a generalized Poincar\'e inequality holds. We show that the constant rank condition is sufficient. The concept of the Moore-Penrose generalized inverse of a matrix comes into play.
