In this paper, we develop the theory of Sobolev spaces on locally finite graphs, including completeness, reflexivity, separability, and Sobolev inequalities. Since there is no exact concept of dimension on graphs, classical methods that…

Using a generalization of complexes, called 2-complexes, this paper defines and analyzes new Sobolev spaces of matrix fields and their interrelationships within a commuting diagram. These spaces have very weak second-order derivatives. An…

This is the second of two works concerning the Sobolev calculus on metric measure spaces and its applications. In this work, we focus on several approaches to vector calculus in the non-smooth setting of complete and separable metric spaces…

The present note contains a review of $p$-energies and Sobolev spaces on metric measure spaces that carry a strongly local regular Dirichlet form. These Sobolev spaces are then used to generalize some basic results from the calculus of…

This paper introduces first order Sobolev spaces on certain rectifiable varifolds. These complete locally convex spaces are contained in the generally nonlinear class of generalised weakly differentiable functions and share key functional…

A unified approach to embedding theorems for Sobolev type spaces of vector-valued functions, defined via their symmetric gradient, is proposed. The Sobolev spaces in question are built upon general rearrangement-invariant norms. Optimal…

We study geometric variational problems for a class of effective models in quantum field theory known as Faddeev-Skyrme models. Mathematically one considers minimizing an energy functional on homotopy classes of maps from closed 3-manifolds…

Subtle issues arise when extending homotopy invariants to spaces of functions having little regularity, e.g., Sobolev spaces containing discontinuous functions. Sometimes it is not possible to extend the invariant at all, and sometimes,…

This article presents a comprehensive mathematical framework for the study of regularity, bifurcations, and turbulence in fluid dynamics, leveraging the power of Sobolev and Besov function spaces. We delve into the detailed definitions,…

A theory of Sobolev inequalities in arbitrary open sets of Euclidean space is established. Boundary regularity of domains is replaced with information on boundary traces of trial functions and of their derivatives up to some explicit…

A common problem in physics and engineering is the calculation of the minima of energy functionals. The theory of Sobolev gradients provides an efficient method for seeking the critical points of such a functional. We apply the method to…

We study a general linear parabolic problem for Petrovskii parabolic differential system in Sobolev anisotropic distribution spaces of generalized smoothness. Slowly varying functions are used to characterize supplementary generalized…

We consider the problem of minimizing variational integrals defined on \cc{nonlinear} Sobolev spaces of competitors taking values into the sphere. The main novelty is that the underlying energy features a non-uniformly elliptic integrand…

An approximation theorem of Youngs (1948) asserts that a continuous map between compact oriented topological 2-manifolds (surfaces) is monotone if and only if it is a uniform limit of homeomorphisms. Analogous approximation of Sobolev…

We study nonuniform Sobolev spaces, i.e., spaces of functions whose partial derivatives lie in possibly different Lebesgue spaces. Although standard proofs do not apply, we show that nonuniform Sobolev spaces share similar properties as the…

Energy-minimizing constraint maps are a natural extension of the obstacle problem within a vectorial framework. Due to inherent topological constraints, these maps manifest a diverse structure that includes singularities similar to harmonic…

Physical systems are frequently modeled as sets of points in space, each representing the position of an atom, molecule, or mesoscale particle. As many properties of such systems depend on the underlying ordering of their constituent…

Reparametrization invariant Sobolev metrics on spaces of regular curves have been shown to be of importance in the field of mathematical shape analysis. For practical applications, one usually discretizes the space of smooth curves and…

This manuscript develops a framework for the strong approximation of Sobolev maps with values in compact manifolds, emphasizing the interplay between local and global topological properties. Building on topological concepts adapted to VMO…

We study Sobolev type spaces defined in terms of sharp maximal functions on Ahlfors regular subsets of the Euclidean space and the relation between these spaces and traces of classical Sobolev spaces.
