Fractional Poincaré Inequality for Unbounded Domains with Finite Ball Condition: Counter Example

Abstract: In this paper we investigate the fractional Poincar\'e inequality on unbounded domains. In the local case, Sandeep-Mancini showed that in the class of simply connected domains, Poincar\'e inequality holds if and only if the domain does not allow balls of arbitrarily large radius (finite ball condition). We prove that such a result can not be true in the `nonlocal/fractional' setting even if finite ball condition is replaced by a related stronger condition. We further provide some sufficient criterions on domains for fractional Poincar\'e inequality to hold. In the end, asymptotic behaviour of all eigenvalues of fractional Dirichlet problems on long cylindrical domains is addressed.
