I have a question about weak derivatives.
Let $u,v \in L^{1}_{loc}(U)$ (the space of locally integrable functions) for some open set $\emptyset \neq U \in \mathbb{R}^{n}$. We often say that $v$ is the $\alpha$-th ($\alpha$ is a multi index) weak derivative of $u$ if the following equation holdholds: \begin{align} \int_{U}u D^{\alpha}\varphi=(-1)^{|\alpha|}\int_{U}v\varphi \end{align} for all $\varphi \in C_{0}^{\infty}(U)$ (the space of infinitely differentiable functions with compact support in $U$ ).
Let $\emptyset \neq U$ be a bounded open subset of $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ with $C^{1}-$$C^{1}$-boundary. I want to define weak derivative of $u \in L^{1}(\overline{U})$. How should I define derivatives? I think this notion enables us to define Sobolev spaces on $\overline{U}$.
