In this paper we consider an abstract Wiener space $(X,\gamma,H)$ and an open subset $O\subseteq X$ which satisfies suitable assumptions. For every $p\in(1,+\infty)$ we define the Sobolev space $W_{0}^{1,p}(O,\gamma)$ as the closure of…

We describe a recent, one-parameter family of characterizations of Sobolev and BV functions on $\mathbb{R}^n$, using sizes of superlevel sets of suitable difference quotients. This provides an alternative point of view to the BBM formula by…

In this paper we connect Calder\'on and Zygmund's notion of $L^p$\- -differentiability with some recent characterizations of Sobolev spaces via the asymptotics of non-local functionals due to Bourgain, Brezis, and Mironescu. We show how the…

Our aim is to characterize the homogeneous fractional Sobolev-Slobodecki\u{\i} spaces $\mathcal{D}^{s,p} (\mathbb{R}^n)$ and their embeddings, for $s \in (0,1]$ and $p\ge 1$. They are defined as the completion of the set of smooth and…

In this note, we introduce a variant of Calder\'on and Zygmund's notion of $L^p$-differentiability - an \emph{$L^p$-Taylor approximation}. Our first result is that functions in the Sobolev space $W^{1,p}(\mathbb{R}^N)$ possess a first order…

We study removable sets for Newtonian Sobolev functions in metric measure spaces satisfying the usual (local) assumptions of a doubling measure and a Poincar\'e inequality. In particular, when restricted to Euclidean spaces, a closed set…

We introduce a generalized version of the local Lipschitz number $\textrm{lip}\,u$, and show that it can be used to characterize Sobolev functions $u\in W_{\textrm{loc}}^{1,p}(\mathbb R^n)$, $1\le p\le \infty$, as well as functions of…

We consider a family of non-local and non-convex functionals, and we prove that their Gamma-liminf is bounded from below by a positive multiple of the Sobolev norm or the total variation. As a by-product, we answer some open questions…

We study the $\Gamma$-convergence of the functionals $F_n(u):= || f(\cdot,u(\cdot),Du(\cdot))||_{p_n(\cdot)}$ and $\mathcal{F}_n(u):= \int_{\Omega} \frac{1}{p_n(x)} f^{p_n(x)}(x,u(x),Du(x))dx$ defined on $X\in \{L^1(\Omega,\mathbb{R}^d),…

We prove density of smooth functions in subspaces of Sobolev- and higher order $BV$-spaces of kind $W^{m,p}(\Omega)\cap L^q(\Omega-D)$ and $BV^m(\Omega)\cap L^q(\Omega-D)$, respectively, where $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ ($n\in\mathbb{N}$)…

Consider a regular domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^N$ and let $d(x)=\operatorname{dist}(x,\partial\Omega)$. Denote $L^{1,\infty}_a(\Omega)$ the space of functions from $L^{1,\infty}(\Omega)$ having absolutely continuous quasinorms. This…

We study the pointwise convergence and the $\Gamma$-convergence of a family of non-local, non-convex functionals $\Lambda_\delta$ in $L^p(\Omega)$ for $p>1$. We show that the limits are multiples of $\int_{\Omega} |\nabla u|^p$. This is a…

Let $L^{m,p}(\mathbb{R}^n)$ be the homogeneous Sobolev space for $p \in (n,\infty)$, $\mu$ be a Borel regular measure on $\mathbb{R}^n$, and $L^{m,p}(\mathbb{R}^n) + L^p(d\mu)$ be the space of Borel measurable functions with finite seminorm…

We establish a pointwise limit theorem for a broad class of pa\-ra\-me\-ter-\-de\-pen\-dent BMO-type seminorms as the parameter tends to zero. By introducing novel BMO-type seminorms, we provide a unified framework that extends several…

For $1<p<\infty$ we give a characterization of the Sobolev space $\dot W^{1,p}(\mathbb R^d)$ in terms of the oscillations of a function on balls of varying centers and radii. Our work is motivated both by the study of trace ideal properties…

We show that independent and uniformly distributed sampling points are as good as optimal sampling points for the approximation of functions from the Sobolev space $W_p^s(\Omega)$ on bounded convex domains $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^d$ in…

We study a class of nonlocal functionals in the spirit of the recent characterization of the Sobolev spaces $W^{1,p}$ derived by Bourgain, Brezis and Mironescu. We show that it provides a common roof to the description of the…

Recently, Brezis, Van Schaftingen and the second author established a new formula for the $\dot{W}^{1,p}$ norm of a function in $C^{\infty}_c(\mathbb{R}^N)$. The formula was obtained by replacing the $L^p(\mathbb{R}^{2N})$ norm in the…

In this note, we establish a strong form of the quantitive Sobolev inequality in Euclidean space for $p \in (1,n)$. Given any function $u \in \dot W^{1,p}(\mathbb{R}^n)$, the gap in the Sobolev inequality controls $\| \nabla u -\nabla…

We study the $\Gamma$-convergence of a family of non-local, non-convex functionals in $L^p(I)$ for $p \ge 1$, where $I$ is an open interval. We show that the limit is a multiple of the $W^{1, p}(I)$ semi-norm to the power $p$ when $p>1$…
