A density problem for Sobolev spaces on Gromov hyperbolic domains

Functional Analysis 2016-05-27 v1

Abstract

We prove that for a bounded domain ΩRn\Omega\subset \mathbb R^n which is Gromov hyperbolic with respect to the quasihyperbolic metric, especially when Ω\Omega is a finitely connected planar domain, the Sobolev space W1,(Ω)W^{1,\,\infty}(\Omega) is dense in W1,p(Ω)W^{1,\,p}(\Omega) for any 1p<1\le p<\infty. Moreover if Ω\Omega is also Jordan or quasiconvex, then C(Rn)C^{\infty}(\mathbb R^n) is dense in W1,p(Ω)W^{1,\,p}(\Omega) for 1p<1\le p<\infty.
