We show that for bounded domains in $\mathbb C^n$ with $\mathcal C^{1,1}$ smooth boundary, if there is a closed set $F$ of $2n-1$-Lebesgue measure $0$ such that $\partial \Omega \setminus F$ is $\mathcal C^{2}$-smooth and locally…

Henrot and Lucardesi, in Commun. Contemp. Math. (2024), conjectured that among planar convex sets with prescribed minimal width, the equilateral triangle uniquely maximizes the Cheeger constant. In this short note, we confirm this…

We present a Korn-Poincar\'e-type inequality in a planar setting which is in the spirit of the Poincar\'e inequality in SBV due to De Giorgi, Carriero, Leaci. We show that for each function in SBD$^2$ one can find a modification which…

The current status concerning Hardy-type inequalities with sharp constants is presented and described in a unified convexity way. In particular, it is then natural to replace the Lebesgue measure $dx$ with the Haar measure $dx/x.$ There are…

We prove that for any non-symmetric irreducible divisible convex set, the proximal limit set is the full projective boundary.

In this work we prove some Hardy-Poincar\'{e} inequalities with quadratic singular potentials localized on the boundary of a smooth domain. Then, we consider conical domains with vertex on the singularity and we show upper and lower bounds…

The paper is concerned with sharp estimates of constants in Poincare type inequalities for functions having zero mean value on the boundary of a Lipschitz domain or on a measurable part of it. These estimates are useful for various…

We generalize to the case of the $p-$Laplacian an old result by Hersch and Protter. Namely, we show that it is possible to estimate from below the first eigenvalue of the Dirichlet $p-$Laplacian of a convex set in terms of its inradius. We…

We obtain a new proof of Bobkov's lower bound on the first positive eigenvalue of the (negative) Neumann Laplacian (or equivalently, the Cheeger constant) on a bounded convex domain $K$ in Euclidean space. Our proof avoids employing the…

A planar point set is in convex position precisely when it has a convex polygonization, that is, a polygonization with maximum interior angle measure at most \pi. We can thus talk about the convexity of a set of points in terms of the…

Motivated by a long-standing conjecture of Polya and Szeg\"o about the Newtonian capacity of convex bodies, we discuss the role of concavity inequalities in shape optimization, and we provide several counterexamples to the…

We prove a Payne-Weinberger type inequality for the $p$-Laplacian Neumann eigenvalues ($p\ge 2$). The inequality provides the sharp upper bound on convex domains, in terms of the diameter alone, of the best constants in Poincar\'e…

We prove a sharp Poincar\'e inequality for subsets $\Omega$ of (essentially non-branching) metric measure spaces satisfying the Measure Contraction Property $\textrm{MCP}(K,N)$, whose diameter is bounded above by $D$. This is achieved by…

We prove a sharp quantitative version for the stability of the Sobolev inequality with explicit constants. Moreover, the constants have the correct behavior in the limit of large dimensions, which allows us to deduce an optimal quantitative…

We study generalized Poincar\'e inequalities. We prove that if a function satisfies a suitable inequality of Poincar\'e type, then the Hardy-Littlewood maximal function also obeys a meaningful estimate of similar form. As a by-product, we…

The main purpose of this paper is to prove a sharp Sobolev inequality in an exterior of a convex bounded domain. There are two ingredients in the proof: One is the observation of some new isoperimetric inequalities with partial free…

This paper continues our work [19] on sharp Alexandrov estimates. We obtain a sharp global uniform distance estimate from a convex function to the class of unimodular convex quadratic polynomials in terms of the total variation of its…

The main problem considered in the present paper is to single out classes of convex sets, whose convexity property is preserved under nonlinear smooth transformations. Extending an approach due to B.T. Polyak, the present study focusses on…

This article is devoted to the stability of error bounds (local and global) for semi-infinite convex constraint systems in Banach spaces. We provide primal characterizations of the stability of local and global error bounds when systems are…

We consider the sharp Sobolev-Poincar\'e constant for the embedding of $W^{1,2}_0(\Omega)$ into $L^q(\Omega)$. We show that such a constant exhibits an unexpected dual variational formulation, in the range $1<q<2$. Namely, this can be…
