Abstract

Poincare´ type inequalities play a central role in the analysis of domain decomposition and multigrid methods for second-order elliptic problems. However, when the coefficient varies within a subdomain or within a coarse grid element, then standard condition number bounds for these methods may be overly pessimistic. In this short note we present new weighted Poincare´ type inequalities for a class of piecewise constant coefficients that lead to sharper bounds independent of any possible large contrasts in the coefficients.
