Bakry, D.; Coulhon, T.; Ledoux, M.; Saloff-Coste, L. Sobolev inequalities in disguise. (English) Zbl 0857.26006 Indiana Univ. Math. J. 44, No. 4, 1032-1074 (1995). We present a simple and direct proof of the equivalence of various functional inequalities such as Sobolev or Nash inequalities. This proof applies in the context of Riemannian or subelliptic geometry, as well as on graphs and to certain non-local Sobolev norms. It only uses elementary cut-off arguments. This method has interesting consequences concerning Trudinger type inequalities.
