Poincaré-Friedrichs Inequalities


In functional analysis, the term "Poincaré-Friedrichs inequality" is a term used to describe inequalities which are qualitatively similar to the classical Poincaré inequality and/or Friedrichs inequalities. Sometimes referred to as inequalities of Poincaré-Friedrichs type, such expressions play important roles in the theories of partial differential equations and function spaces, often implying relationships between functions in Lp and Sobolev spaces that would be otherwise-difficult to conclude.
