arXiv:1406.1723

Abstract

Using tools from functional analysis we show that for bounded and convex domains in three dimensions, the Maxwell constants are bounded from below and above by Friedrichs' and Poincare's constants.

Key Words: Maxwell inequality, Poincare inequality, Friedrichs inequality, Maxwell's equations, Maxwell constant, second Maxwell eigenvalue, electro statics, magneto statics
