Suppose $\Omega\Subset \mathbb R^2$ and $f\in BV_{loc}(\Omega)\cap C^0(\Omega)$ with $|f|>0$ in $\Omega$. Let $u\in C^0(\Omega)$ be a viscosity solution to the inhomogeneous $\infty$-Laplace equation $$ -\Delta_{\infty} u…

Given any divergence-free vector field of Sobolev class $W^{m,p}_0(\Omega)$ in a bounded open subset $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^2$, we are interested in approximating it in the $W^{m,p}$ norm with divergence-free smooth vector fields…

We give a necessary condition for a domain to have a bounded extension operator from $L^{1,p}(\Omega)$ to $L^{1,p}(\mathbb R^n)$ for the range $1 < p < 2$. The condition is given in terms of a power of the distance to the boundary of…

This paper deals with the fractional Sobolev spaces $W^{s, p}(\Omega)$, with $s\in (0, 1]$ and $p\in[1,+\infty]$. Here, we use the interpolation results in [4] to provide suitable conditions on the exponents $s$ and $p$ so that the spaces…

In this paper we prove a Sobolev and a Morrey type inequality involving the mean curvature and the tangential gradient with respect to the level sets of the function that appears in the inequalities. Then, as an application, we establish…

In the Euclidean setting the Sobolev spaces $W^{\alpha,p}\cap L^\infty$ are algebras for the pointwise product when $\alpha>0$ and $p\in(1,\infty)$. This property has recently been extended to a variety of geometric settings. We produce a…

In this paper, we introduce a new fractional Musielak-Sobolev space $Ws,{\Phi}x,y({\Omega})$ where ${\Omega}$ is an open subset in RN and we show some density properties of smooth and compactly supported functions in this space.

For a bounded domain $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^n$ and $p>n$, Morrey's inequality implies that there is $c>0$ such that $$ c\|u\|^p_{\infty}\le \int_\Omega|Du|^pdx $$ for each $u$ belonging to the Sobolev space $W^{1,p}_0(\Omega)$. We show…

Let $\Omega$ be an arbitrary bounded domain of $\R^n$. We study the right invertibility of the divergence on $\Omega$ in weighted Lebesgue and Sobolev spaces on $\Omega$, and rely this invertibility to a geometric characterization of…

We investigate the form of the closure of the smooth, compactly supported functions $C_{c}^{\infty}(\Omega)$ in the weighted fractional Sobolev space $W^{s,p;\,w,v}(\Omega)$ for bounded $\Omega$. We focus on the weights $w,\,v$ being powers…

It has been well known that if $\Omega$ is a bounded $C^1$-domain in $\R^n,\ n \ge 2$, then for every Radon measure $f$ on $\Omega$ with finite total variation, there exists a unique weak solution $u\in W_0^{1,1}(\Omega )$ of the Poisson…

We construct a smooth compact n-dimensional manifold Y with one point singularity such that all its Lipschitz homotopy groups are trivial, but Lipschitz mappings Lip(S^n,Y) are not dense in the Sobolev space W^{1,n}(S^n,Y). On the other…

Consider a Lipschitz domain $\Omega$ and a measurable function $\mu$ supported in $\overline\Omega$ with $\left\|{\mu}\right\|_{L^\infty}<1$. Then the derivatives of a quasiconformal solution of the Beltrami equation $\overline{\partial} f…

In this paper we study approximations of functions of Sobolev spaces $W^2_{p,\loc}(\Omega)$, $\Omega\subset\mathbb R^n$, by Lipschitz continuous functions. We prove that if $f\in W^2_{p,\loc}(\Omega)$, $1\leq p<\infty$, then there exists a…

It is a well-known fact that in a Lipschitz domain \Omega\subset R^n a p-Hardy inequality, with weight d(x,\partial\Omega)^\beta, holds for all u\in C_0^\infty(\Omega) whenever \beta<p-1. We show that actually the same is true under the…

We construct a bounded domain $\Omega$ in $\mathbb{C}^2$ with boundary of class $\mathcal{C}^{1,1}$, such that $\overline{\Omega}$ has a Stein neighborhood basis, but is not $s$-H-convex for any real number $s\geq{1}$.

For any pseudoconvex Runge domain $\Omega\subset\mathbb{C}^2$ we prove that every closed discrete subset in $\Omega$ is contained in a properly embedded complex curve in $\Omega$ with any prescribed topology (possibly infinite).

A basilar property and a useful tool in the theory of Sobolev spaces is the density of smooth compactly supported functions in the space $W^{k,p}(\R^n)$ (i.e. the functions with weak derivatives of orders $0$ to $k$ in $L^p$). On Riemannian…

If $\Omega\subset\R^n$ is a bounded domain, the existence of solutions ${\bf u}\in H^1_0(\Omega)^n$ of ${div} {\bf u} = f$ for $f\in L^2(\Omega)$ with vanishing mean value, is a basic result in the analysis of the Stokes equations. In…

It is well known that Sobolev embeddings can be improved in the presence of symmetries. In this article, we considere the situation in which given a domain $\Omega=\Omega_1 \times \Omega_2$ in $\mathbb{R}^N$ with a cylindrical symmetry, and…
