“…We want to note that the aforesaid family does not necessarily include all the Carnot group with a filiform Lie algebra, and therefore, in the present work one might extend the validity of global Poincaré inequalities to a bigger class of Carnot groups with a Lie algebra of filiform type as well. To be more precise let us first recall the definition of the Carnot groups of "Engel type", see [15], [14], as appeared in [16]; a group G is of this type if G = (R 𝑛+1 , •), with 𝔤 𝑛+1 = span{𝑋 1 , ..., 𝑋 𝑛+1 } and [𝑋 1 , 𝑋 𝑗 ] =𝑋 𝑗+1 , ∀ 𝑗 = 1, ..., 𝑛, [𝑋 𝑖 , 𝑋 𝑗 ] =0, 2 ⩽ 𝑖, 𝑗 ⩽ 𝑛 + 1 [𝑋 1 , 𝑋 𝑛+1 ] =0.…”
