A question from a proof of an inequality in Sobolev space $W^{1,1}$
I try to understand the proof the lemma given at page 54 in Ladyzhenskaya et al (1968) - Linear and Quasilinear Elliptic Equations. Here it is a screenshot:
Here is what I did:
$$-u(x)=u(y)-u(x)=\...

Special density on $L^2$
Let $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^N$ be a bounded domain, and $u\in L^2(\Omega)$ with $0\leq u(x)\leq 1$ a.e. on $\Omega$. It is well known that $C^{\infty}_c(\Omega)$ is dense in $L^2(\Omega)$. Because $C^...

Can functions with "big" discontinuities be in $H^1$?
How can I prove that the function:
$$u:\Omega\to\mathbb{R},\ u(x)=\begin{cases} 0, x\in\omega \\[3mm] v(x), x\in\Omega\setminus\omega\end{cases}$$ is not in $H^1(\Omega)$, knowing that $v\geq 1$ is ...

Domain where the fractional Laplacian operator is a closed operator
Consider the fractional Laplacian defined by
$$(-\Delta)^s u(x) = P.V. \int_{\mathbb{R}^N} \frac{u(x) - u(y)}{|x - y|^{N + 2s}}dy, \ s \in (0,1).$$
Also consider that
$$D((-\Delta)^s) = \{u \in H^s(\...

$\newcommand{\R}{\mathbb R}$
Let $\Omega\subset \R^d$ be a smooth, bounded open set and fix $p\geq 1$.
Fact 1: the usual Lebesgue differentiation theorem says that, if $u\in L^p(\Omega)$, then

Is the measure density condition a necessary condition for bounding the Sobolev norm $W^{n,p}(\Omega)$ by the extremal terms?
Let $\Omega \subseteq \mathbb{R}^M$ be a measurable subset of positive measure. R. A. Adams and J. Fournier in their article have proven that if $\Omega$ satisfies the so-called weak cone property, ...

If $f:U_1\to\mathcal L^p(\mu;E_2)$ is Fréchet differentiable, can we say anything about the Fréchet differentiability of $u\mapsto f(u)(\omega)$?
Let $(\Omega,\mathcal A,\mu)$ be a $\sigma$-finite measure space, $p\ge1$, $E_i$ be a $\mathbb R$-Banach space, $U_1\subseteq E_1$ be open and $f:U_1\to L$ be Fréchet differentiable at $x\in U_1$, ...

Relationship between $p$-capacity and Riesz $s$-capacity of a set
What is the relationship between the definitions of $s$-capacity (page 13 here) and $p$-capacity (here) of a set?
Are they equivalent? If not, what inequalities hold? What is the difference (in terms ...

Sobolev functions on $\mathbb{R}^N$ cannot be discontinuous on a $(N-1)$-dimensional submanifold
How can one prove (or where can I find a proof) that if $u \in W^{1,p}(\Omega)$, where $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^N$, then $u$ cannot have a $(N-1)$-manifold of discontinuity points?

$\forall g\in L^2(\Omega)$ exists $g_n\in H_0^1(\Omega)$ and $\epsilon>0$ s.t $g_n(x)\to g(x),\,a.e$ and $|g_n(x)|\leq |g(x)|+\epsilon$
I asked this question on MSE here some time ago, but I couldn't get an answer. There was a suggestion in the comments for a counterexample using a fat Cantor set, but I couldn't show a contradiction ...
