Remarks on Sobolev norms of fractional orders

Analysis of PDEs 2021-01-12 v2

Abstract

When a function belonging to a fractional-order Sobolev space is supported in a proper subset of the Lipschitz domain on which the Sobolev space is defined, how is its Sobolev norm as a function on the smaller set compared to its norm on the whole domain? On what do the comparison constants depend on? Do different norms behave differently? This article addresses these issues. We prove some inequalities and disprove some misconceptions by counter-examples.
