For $1\leq p<\infty$ an approach to define fractional Sobolev spaces is by Sobolev-Slobodeckij spaces a generalisation of HolderHölder continuity. For example letting $U\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ then,

$ \left\|u\right\|^p_{W^\mu_p(U)} = \left\|u\right\|^p_{W^{\lfloor\mu\rfloor}_p(U)} + \sum \int_U \int_U \frac{|D^\alpha u(x)-D^\alpha u(y)|^p}{|x-y|^{n+p[\mu]}}dxdy $

where $[\mu]=\mu-\lfloor\mu\rfloor$ and the sum is taken over all multi-indices $\alpha$ with $|\alpha|=\lfloor\mu\rfloor$

This is from Chapter 14 of The mathematical theory of finite element methods By Susanne C. Brenner, L. Ridgway Scott.

Does the above hold for $p=\infty$? For example, for $p=\infty$ do we have (or something similar),

$ \left\|u\right\|_{W^\mu_p(U)} = \left\|u\right\|_{W^{\lfloor\mu\rfloor}_p(U)} + \sup \sup_U \sup_U \frac{|D^\alpha u(x)-D^\alpha u(y)|}{|x-y|^{[\mu]}} $

where the $\sup$ is taken over all multi-indices $\alpha$ with $|\alpha|=\lfloor\mu\rfloor$. Can this be shown by considering the limit of the case $p<\infty$ as $p\rightarrow\infty$?

Thanks in advance.

Sobolev-Slobodeckij spaces for p=infinity
