## Abstract

Let $1 < p < \infty$ and $-\infty < a < b < \infty$. We show by using elementary methods that the best constant C (necessarily independent of a and b) for which the 1-dimensional Poincaré inequality $\leftVert f - f_{av} \rightVert_{L^1[a, b]} \leq C(b - a)^{2-{\frac{1}{p}}} \leftVert f^\prime \rightVert_{L^p[a, b]}$ holds for all Lipschitz continuous functions f, with $f_{av} = \int_a^b f/(b - a)$, is $C = {\frac{1}{2}}(1 + p^\prime)^{-1/p^\prime}$.
