I define the following wheighted Sobolev spaces $$L^{2,s}(\mathbb{R}^3)=\bigg\lbrace u\bigg|\int_{\mathbb{R}^3}|u(x)|^2(1+|x|^2)^s<\infty\bigg\rbrace$$ and $$H^{2,s}(\mathbb{R}^3)=\bigg\lbrace u\bigg| D^\alpha u\in L^{2,s}(\mathbb{R}^3),|\alpha|\leq 2\bigg\rbrace$$ I know that the classical Sobolev space $H^2(\mathbb{R}^3)$ is contained in $C(\mathbb{R}^3)$ because $2>\frac{3}{2}$. Can I extend this result to the above weighted Sobolev spaces?

Continuity is a local property: functions which are in your $L^{2,s}$ are locally in $L^2$, so functions in $H^{2,s}$ are locally in the Sobolev space $H^2(\mathbb R^3)$, thus are continuous functions (even Hölder 1/2-$\epsilon$).

$\begingroup$ Yes of course, because of the $(1+\vert x\vert^2)^s$, locally in $x$ comparable to 1. $\endgroup$– BazinCommented Mar 13, 2013 at 15:34

$\begingroup$ So the limit $$\lim_{|x-y|\to 0}f(x)$$, with $y\in\mathbb{R}^3$, has sense for $f\in H^{2,s}$. $\endgroup$– SueCommented Mar 13, 2013 at 15:39
