Jan 23, 2020 at 10:04 comment added Skeeve weak convergence in $W_0^{1,2}(\mathbb R^N)$ of $f_n$ to zero means that $\int_{\mathbb R^N}(f_n g + \nabla f_n \cdot \nabla g) \, dx \to 0$ as $n\to \infty$ for any fixed $g\in W_0^{1,2}(\mathbb R^N)$. Once this is established, the absence of strong convergence is not difficult because $\|f(\cdot - n)\| = \|f\|$ does not converge to zero. You may give a look at the book Sobolev Spaces by Robert A. Adams.
Jan 17, 2020 at 14:55 comment added M.A How can I verify that $\phi:x\mapsto \phi(x-n)$ converges weakly to $0$ but not strongly (excuse but I'm not familiar with functional analysis properties)?

Dec 10, 2019 at 19:57 comment added Skeeve but what if for some smooth compactly supported nonzero $\phi\colon \mathbb R^N \to \mathbb R$ we consider a sequence of the form $\phi(x-n)$, $x\in \mathbb R^N$? It should converge weakly to 0 (at least for $p=2$), but not strongly.
Dec 10, 2019 at 16:06 comment added M.A $\mu$ is not singular with respect to Lebesgue measure.
Dec 10, 2019 at 15:53 comment added M.A $\Omega$ is a bounded open subset of $\mathbb{R}^{N}$, $\mathcal{M}(\Omega)$ is the space space of absolutely continuous Radon measures and $1<p\leq N$. The bounded case concerns the case where $\Omega$ have finite measure ($\mu(\Omega)<\infty$ where $\mu\in\mathcal{M}(\Omega)$).
Dec 10, 2019 at 14:30 comment added Skeeve What is denoted by $\Omega$ and $\mathcal M(\Omega)$? What is $p$? How can convergence in $L^2(\Omega)$ make sense if $\mu$ is mutually singular with respect to Lebesgue measure? Why the statement should hold in the bounded case (and what do you mean by bounded case)?
