Given $a>0$, find $b>0$ for which $\|\langle x\rangle^{-b}|\partial_x|^{1/2}f\|_{L^2}\lesssim\|\partial_x f\|_{L^2}+\|\langle x\rangle^{-a}f\|_{L^2}$

I have asked the same question on MathSE. I was thinking about the following problem. Problem. Given $\alpha>0$, find all values of $\beta\geq 0$ such that the following estimate is true for all $\...

Approximation in fractional Sobolev space

Assume $\Omega\subset \Bbb R^d$ is Lipschitz open set. Let $p\geq 1$ and $0<s\leq 1/p$. How to prove that $C_c^\infty(\Omega)$ is dense in $W^{s,p}(\Omega)$? Recall that, $$|u|^p_{W^{s,p}(\Omega)}= ...

How to define transfinite derivatives of a function?

There are all manners of theories generalizing the notion of derivative. Amongst them is the fractional calculus, a rich theory which gives a sense to the derivation and integration of non-integer (i....
