Abstract

Let ΩRd\Omega \subseteq \mathbb{R}^d be open and DΩD\subseteq \partial\Omega be a closed part of its boundary. Under very mild assumptions on Ω\Omega, we construct a bounded Sobolev extension operator for the Sobolev space WDk,p(Ω)\mathrm{W}^{k , p}_D (\Omega), 1p<1 \leq p < \infty, which consists of all functions in Wk,p(Ω)\mathrm{W}^{k , p} (\Omega) that vanish in a suitable sense on DD. In contrast to earlier work, this construction is global and \emph{not} using a localization argument, which allows to work with a boundary regularity that is sharp at the interface dividing DD and ΩD\partial \Omega \setminus D. Moreover, we provide homogeneous and local estimates for the extension operator. Also, we treat the case of Lipschitz function spaces with a vanishing trace condition on DD.
