Density of polynomials in $C^k(\overline\Omega)$

Let $\Omega$ be an open and bounded subset of $\mathbb{R}^2$ and let $C^k(\Omega)$, $1\leq k<\infty$, be the space of functions $f$ with continuous derivatives of order $\leq k$ in $\Omega$, ...

Second order differentiability of convex functions

Let $f:\mathbb{R}^n\to\mathbb{R}$ be a convex function. Then $f$ is locally Lipschitz and hence differentiable a.e. (Rademacher). Let $E\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ be the set of points where $f$ is ...

A function in $W^{1,p}(\Omega)$ for $1 < p < n$ which is not differentiable a.e

I'm seeking a function which belongs to $W^{1,p}(\Omega)$ for $p < n$ which is not differentiable a.e. There is a standard theorem which shows that if $p > n$ then in fact any function in $W^{1,...

Arzelà-Ascoli theorem and Hölder spaces

Let $B\subset \mathbb{R}^n$ be a open ball. Let $\{f_i\}$ be a sequence of functions bounded in the Hölder norm $C^{k,\alpha}(B)$ for a given integer $k\geq 0$ and $\alpha\in (0,1)$. Does there exist ...

Littlewood-Paley theory and dense property of Sobolev spaces [duplicate]

I'm learning the Littlewood-Paley theory by myself and I encounter the following claim: Pick a smooth function $\chi$ such that: $$\chi(\xi) = \begin{cases} 1 &|\xi| \leq \frac{1}{2}\\ 0 &|\...

Convergence of Sobolev functions near the boundary

Let $B_0(1)$ be the unit ball in $\mathbb R^n$, $n\geq2$. Let $f\in W_0^{1,2}(B_0(1))$, and $W^{1,2}(B_0(1))\ni f_i\to f$ in the sense of $L^2(B_0(1))$-norm, as $i\to \infty$. Question 1: Can we ...

Functions for which $|f^{(k)}|_{C^{0,\alpha}(0,1)} \le \Vert f \Vert_{L^1(0,1)}$

Let $f \in C^k(0,1)$ and assume that the $k$-th derivative is $\alpha$-Hölder continuous. Assume that $f(x) = 0$ in a fixed interval $(a,b) \subset (0,1)$. Can we characterize (or at least find some ...
