In this talk I will describe a strategy for finding sharp upper and lower numerical bounds of the Poincare constant on a class of planar domains with piecewise self-similar boundary. The approach is developed in [A] and it consists of four main blocks: 1) tight inner-outer shape interpolation, 2) conformal mapping of the approximate polygonal regions, 3) grad-div system formulation of the spectral problem and 4) computation of the eigenvalue bounds. After describing the method, justifying its validity and reporting on general convergence estimates, I will show concrete evidence of its effectiveness on the Koch snowflake. I will conclude the talk by discussing potential applications to other linear operators on rough regions. This research has been conducted jointly with Lehel Banjai (Heriot-Watt University).
