This work is the one-dimensional counterpart of a recent study achieved by the authors for a class of spherically symmetric probability measures in dimension larger than 2. Our strategy is based on two main ingredients: on the one hand, the optimal constant in the desired weighted Poincar\\'e inequality has to be rewritten as the spectral gap of a convenient Markovian diffusion operator, and on the other hand we use a recent result given by the two first authors, which allows to estimate precisely this spectral gap. In particular we are able to capture its exact value for some examples.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2014-11-21T19:15:05.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "spectral gap", "one-dimensional diffusions", "weighted poincare inequality", "convenient markovian diffusion operator", "one-dimensional probability measures" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2014arXiv1411.5982B" } } }
