Divergence operator and Poincare inequalities on arbitrary bounded domains
Let $Ω$ be an arbitrary bounded domain of $\R^n$. We study the right invertibility of the divergence on $Ω$ in weighted Lebesgue and Sobolev spaces on $Ω$, and rely this invertibility to a geometric characterization of $Ω$ and to weighted Poincaré inequalities on $Ω$. We recover, in particular, well-known results on the right invertibility of the divergence in Sobolev spaces when $Ω$ is Lipschitz or, more generally, when $Ω$ is a John domain, and focus on the case of $s$-John domains.
