Continuity of composition operators in Sobolev spaces

Functional Analysis 2021-01-05 v2

Abstract

We prove that all the composition operators Tf(g):=fgT_f(g):= f\circ g, which take the Adams-Frazier space WpmW˙mp1(Rn)W^{m}_{p}\cap \dot{W}^{1}_{mp}(\mathbb{R}^n) to itself, are continuous mappings from WpmW˙mp1(Rn)W^{m}_{p}\cap \dot{W}^{1}_{mp}(\mathbb{R}^n) to itself, for every integer m2m\geq 2 and every real number 1p<+1\leq p<+\infty. The same automatic continuity property holds for Sobolev spaces Wpm(Rn)W^m_p(\mathbb{R}^n) for m2m\geq 2 and 1p<+1\leq p<+\infty.
