Questions March 31

  1. Note that LaTeX: W^{0,p}(U)=L^p(U)W0,p(U)=Lp(U) for LaTeX: 1\le p \le \infty1p. What is LaTeX: W^{0,p}_0(U)W0,p0(U) when LaTeX: 1\le p<\infty1p<?
  2. For those of you who know some integration theory: do exercise 4 in Evans, ch. 5.10 (see the discussion at the bottom of p. 259).
  3. In Theorems 1-3 in ch. 5.3, the case LaTeX: p=\inftyp= is avoided. Why?
  4. Can you identify LaTeX: W^{k,p}_0(\mathbb{R} ^n)Wk,p0(Rn) with another space when LaTeX: 1\le p <\infty1p<? What happens in the case LaTeX: p=\inftyp=?
  5. For those who are interested in the proof of the extension theorem in ch 5.4 of Evans: would the even extension operator work instead of (3)? Why/why not? How about the case LaTeX: k=2k=2?
  6. Theorem 3 in ch. 5.6 is stated for LaTeX: q\in [1, p^*]q[1,p], whereas Theorem 2 is stated just for LaTeX: p^*p. Why?
  7. What changes if you replace the bounded domain LaTeX: UU by LaTeX: \mathbb{R} ^nRn in Theorem 3?
