Abstract
We provide precise estimates of the Poincaré constants firstly for scalar functions and secondly for solenoidal (i.e. divergence free) vector fields (in both cases with vanishing Dirichlet traces on the boundary) on 2d‐annuli by the use of the first eigenvalues of the scalar Laplacian and the Stokes operator, respectively. In our non‐dimensional setting each annulus is defined via two concentrical circles with radii and . Additionally, corresponding problems on domains , the 2d‐annuli from , are investigated ‐ for comparison but also to provide limits for . In particular, the Green's function of the Laplacian on with vanishing Dirichlet traces on is used to show that for the first eigenvalue here tends to the first eigenvalue of the corresponding problem on the open unit circle. On the other hand, we take advantage of the so‐called small‐gap limit for .
