متن کاملNew Poincaré Inequalities from Old
We discuss a geometric method, which we refer to as Coning, for generating new Poincaré type inequalities from old ones. In particular, we derive weighted Poincaré inequalities for star-shaped domains and variant Trudinger inequalities for another class of domains. By a Poincaré type inequality, in the widest sense, we mean a norm inequality in which the variation of a function from its “averag...

Many older people in developed countries are overweight or obese. The prevalence is increasing as more people reach old age already overweight. Obesity in old age is associated with increased morbidity and a reduction in quality of life. The relative increase in mortality is less in older than young adults and the body weight associated with maximal survival increases with advancing age. Althou...

Asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are highly prevalent in older people [1–4]. This well established fact has not, however, overcome the problem of underdiagnosis or misdiagnosis of both conditions in old age, with the inevitable effect on morbidity , and possibly mortality [1, 5]. Properly performed spirometric measurements of Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second (FEV1) an...
