We are concerned with the optimal constants: in the Korn inequality under tangential boundary conditions on bounded sets $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$, and in the geometric rigidity estimate on the whole $\mathbb{R}^2$. We prove that the…

In this paper, we revisit Korn's inequality for the piecewise $H^1$ space based on general polygonal or polyhedral decompositions of the domain. Our Korn's inequality is expressed with minimal jump terms. These minimal jump terms are…

We consider shells of non-constant thickness in three dimensional Euclidean space around surfaces which have bounded principal curvatures. We derive Korn's interpolation (or the so called first and a half (The inequality first introduced in…

Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ be a convex domain and let $f:\Omega \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ be a positive, subharmonic function (i.e. $\Delta f \geq 0$). Then $$ \frac{1}{|\Omega|} \int_{\Omega}{f dx} \leq \frac{c_n}{ |\partial \Omega| }…

We consider shells with zero Gaussian curvature, namely shells with one principal curvature zero and the other one having a constant sign. Our particular interests are shells that are diffeomorphic to a circular cylindrical shell with zero…

We address the question of attainability of the best constant in the following Hardy-Sobolev inequality on a smooth domain $\Omega$ of \mathbb{R}^n: $$ \mu_s (\Omega) := \inf \{\int_{\Omega}| \nabla u|^2 dx; u \in {H_{1,0}^2(\Omega)}…

Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^d$, $d \geq 2$, be a bounded convex domain and $f\colon \Omega \to \mathbb{R}$ be a non-negative subharmonic function. In this paper we prove the inequality \[ \frac{1}{|\Omega|}\int_\Omega f(x)\,dx \leq…

We study the best possible constants in Korn-type inequalities and their connection with Morrey's problem in the calculus of variations. We adapt techniques from the analysis of the Beurling-Ahlfors transform to Korn's inequality. In…

Morrey's classical inequality implies the H\"older continuity of a function whose gradient is sufficiently integrable. Another consequence is the Hardy-type inequality $$ \lambda\biggl\|\frac{u}{d_\Omega^{1-n/p}}\biggr\|_{\infty}^p\le…

Let $\Omega\subset{\mathbb R}^2$ be a bounded domain on which Hardy's inequality holds. We prove that $[\exp(u^2)-1]/\delta^2\in L^1(\Omega)$ if $u\in H^1_0(\Omega)$, where $\delta$ denotes the distance to $\partial\Omega$. The…

We establish Korn's interpolation inequalities and the rigidity results of the strain tensor of the middle surface for the parabolic and elliptic shells and show that the best constant in Korn's inequalities scales like $h^{3/2}$ for the…

In this paper we prove asymptotically sharp weighted "first-and-a-half" $2D$ Korn and Korn-like inequalities with a singular weight occurring from Cartesian to cylindrical change of variables. We prove some Hardy and the so-called "harmonic…

We will prove that for piecewise smooth and concave domains Korn's first inequality holds for vector fields satisfying homogeneous normal or tangential boundary conditions with explicit Korn constant square root of 2.

In this work we derive asymptotically sharp weighted Korn and Korn-like interpolation (or first and a half) inequalities in thin domains with singular weights. The constants $K$ (Korn's constant) in the inequalities depend on the domain…

We give a new, simpler proof of the fractional Korn's inequality for subsets of $\mathbb{R}^d$. We also show a framework for obtaining Korn's inequality directly from the appropriate Hardy-type inequality.

We prove that among all doubly connected and elastically supported planar membranes $\Omega$ with prescribed values of the area $|\Omega|$ and the lengths of the inner and outer boundaries $|\partial \Omega_{\rm{in}}|_1$, $|\partial…

We present a piecewise Korn inequality for generalized special functions of bounded deformation ($GSBD^2$) in a planar setting generalizing the classical result in elasticity theory to the setting of functions with jump discontinuities. We…

In the paper we deal with shells with non-zero Gaussian curvature. We derive sharp Korn's first (linear geometric rigidity estimate) and second inequalities on that kind of shells for zero or periodic Dirichlet, Neumann, and Robin type…

Young's convolution inequality provides an upper bound for the convolution of functions in terms of $L^p$ norms. It is known that for certain groups, including Heisenberg groups, the optimal constant in this inequality is equal to that for…
