Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^2$ be a bounded, convex domain and let $u$ be the solution of $-\Delta u = 1$ vanishing on the boundary $\partial \Omega$. The estimate $$ \| \nabla u\|_{L^{\infty}(\Omega)} \leq c |\Omega|^{1/2}$$ is…
On a convex set, we prove that the Poincar\'e-Sobolev constant for functions vanishing at the boundary can be bounded from above by the ratio between the perimeter and a suitable power of the $N-$dimensional measure. This generalizes an old…
