Abstract

In this paper we present a new characterization of Sobolev spaces on Euclidian spaces (Rn\mathbb{R}^n). Our characterizing condition is obtained via a quadratic multiscale expression which exploits the particular symmetry properties of Euclidean space. An interesting feature of our condition is that depends only on the metric of Rn\mathbb{R}^n and the Lebesgue measure, so that one can define Sobolev spaces of any order of smoothness on any metric measure space.
