On extension and refinement of the Poincaré inequality

The aim of this paper is to analyze the heat semigroup \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$${(\mathcal{N}_{t})_{t >0 } = \{e^{t \Delta}\}_{t >0 }}$$\end{document} generated by the usual Laplacian operator Δ on \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$${\mathbb{R}^{d}}$$\end{document} equipped with the d-dimensional Lebesgue measure. We obtain and study, via a method involving some semigroup techniques, a large family of functional inequalities that does not exist in the literature and with the local Poincaré and reverse local Poincaré inequalities as particular cases. As a consequence, we establish in parallel a new functional and integral inequality related to the Ornstein–Uhlenbeck semigroup.
