contents We study Poincaré--Friedrichs--Weber constants for Sobolev differential forms on bounded convex domains and on domains star-shaped with respect to a ball. Generalizing work by Guerini and Savo, our main result shows that the Poincaré--Friedrichs--Weber constants in the Sobolev de~Rham complexes on bounded convex domains are nonincreasing in the degree of the differential forms. In particular, the Poincaré constant is an upper bound for the Poincaré--Friedrichs--Weber constants. We also obtain estimates for the Poincaré--Friedrichs--Weber constants on domains star-shaped with respect to a ball. As preparatory work, which may be of independent interest, we study the gauge function and the expansion function of bounded convex sets and star domains, providing new proofs of Lipschitz estimates by Vrećica and Toranzos for the expansion function and improving a Lipschitz estimate for the gauge function due to Beer.
