duality of sobolev spaces. Representation of elements in the dual
I'm trying to understand $(W_0^{1,p} (Ω))^*=W_0^{-1,p^*} (Ω)$, and what a proper representation of its elements is. I understand the basics such as: if $f∈L^{p^*} (Ω)⇒f∈W_0^{-1,p^*}(Ω)$ and the ...

Finding an element of Gelfand triple with a designated time derivative
Let $V$ be a real separable Banach space and $H$ be a real separable Hilbert space such that
\begin{equation}
V \subset H \subset V'
\end{equation}
where $V'$ is the dual of $V$ and the inclusions are ...

Is this a well known space? Perhaps homogeneous Sobolev-like space?
The homogeneous Sobolev space $\dot H^s(\mathbb{R}^n) $ is often defined as the closure of $\mathcal{S}(\mathbb{R}^n)$ under the norm
$$ || |\omega|^s \widehat{f} ||_{L^2(\mathbb{R}^d)} =\int_{\...

Chain rule in Sobolev space
In the theory of Sobolev space, we have the following chain rule:
For a uniformly Lipschitz function $F : \mathbf{R}\to \mathbf{R}$ such that $F(0)=0$,
and $u\in W^{1,1}(\mathbf{R}^n)$, then we have ...

Derivation in Sobolev space [closed]
Let $f\in W^{1,\infty}(]0,T[)$ $(0<T\le\infty)$ such that
$f(x)>0$ a.e. $x\in\mathopen]0,T[$ and let
$$g(x)=e^{-\int_0^x \frac{ds}{f(s)}}$$
Formally $g' = -\frac{1}{f}g$.
How can I justify this ...

Is this Beppo-Levi curl space a Banach space?
Let us define the quotient space:
$$ V = \{ \mathbf{u} \in L^2_{loc}(\mathbb{R}^3; \mathbb{R}^3) : \operatorname{curl} \mathbf u \in L^2(\mathbb{R}^3; \mathbb{R}^3) \} / \nabla H^1_{loc}(\mathbb{R}^3)....

Research topics in distribution theory
The theory of distributions is very interesting, and I have noticed that it has many applications especially with regard to PDEs. But what are the research topics in this theory? also in terms of ...

Generalized Besov spaces with different integrability and smoothness in space and time?
Consider the family of Besov spaces $B_{p,q}^{s}(\mathbb{R})$ with $0<p,q \leq \infty$ and $s \in \mathbb{R}$.
Is there a natural way to define spaces of generalized functions $f(t,x) \in \mathcal{...

Nice way to express $H^{-1}(\mathbb{S}^1)$
I am looking for a good way to write down what $H^{-1}(\mathbb{S}^1)$ is. What do I mean by this: Well, certainly one can define this space via charts that map from the sphere into $\mathbb{R}^2$ and ...

A space of distributions vanishing on the boundary
The revised question
After more reflection on the problem, I might have found the answer by myself. Let $U$ be an open subset of $M$, irrespective of whether it has a boundary or not. Let
$$\mathcal ...

About weak derivatives [closed]
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 ...

Calculus of variation
This is probably simple but I'm stuck somewhere. I am trying to solve the calculus of variation problem that arise in an applied field: $$\min_{f \in C^1} \int^1_0 \int^1_0 (x-y)^2f(x,y)dxdy$$ $$\text{...
