It is well known that the linear Korn inequality pervades the theory of three-dimensional linearized elasticity. It is thus conceivable that nonlinear Korn's inequalities could likewise play a role in the theory of three-dimensional nonlinear elasticity. In this paper, we describe the (available to this date) linear and nonlinear Korn's inequalities and we discuss the resemblances, but also the sometimes intriguing differences, that exist between these two kinds of inequalities.
Keywords: multifractal analysis., Poincaré recurrences, Dimension theory.
