Abstract

The simplest example of the sort of representation formula that we shall study is the following familiar inequality for a smooth, real-valued function f(x) defined on a ball B in N-dimensional Euclidean space IRN:

where ∇f denotes the gradient of f, fB is the average [mid ]B[mid ]−1∫ Bf(y)dy, [mid ]B[mid ] is the Lebesgue measure of B, and C is a constant which is independent of f, x and B. This formula can be found, for example, in [4] and [12]; see also the closely related estimates in [20, pp. 228{231]. Indeed, such a formula holds in any bounded convex domain.
