Weighted Poincare and Korn inequalities for Holder a domains

It is known that the classic Korn inequality is not valid for Holder a domains. In this paper, we prove a family of weaker inequalities for this kind of domains, replacing the standard Lp-norms by weighted norms where the weights are powers of the distance to the boundary. In order to obtain these results we prove first some weighted Poincare inequalities and then, generalizing an argument of Kondratiev and Oleinik, we show that weighted Korn inequalities can be derived from them. The Poincaré type inequalities proved here improve previously known results. We show by means of examples that our results are optimal.
