A Sobolev space is a vector space of functions equipped with a norm that is a combination of Lp-norms of the function itself and its derivatives up to a given order.

When to use more exciting function spaces than ordinary Sobolev spaces?
In many aspects of dispersive PDEs, the "optimal" function spaces are those adapted to the symbol of the linear evolution. They were introduced by Bourgain for the nonlinear Schroedinger equation (and …

Possible way to define $H_0^1(\Omega)$ Sobolev spaces
The first two are equivalent, as the $H^1(\Omega)$ norm and $H^1(\mathbb{R}^d)$ norm coincide for $C^\infty_c(\Omega)$ functions.
The third is in general different:
If you let $d = 1$ and $\Omega = \m …

Best constant for Poincaré inequality on spheres
The best constant is just the multiplicative inverse of the smallest positive eigenvalue of the Laplacian on the sphere. On $\mathbb{S}^N$ this the smallest eigenvalue is $N$, so $C(N)$ in that case e …

What is the motivation of the $L^p$ differentiability?
I don't know the literature, but it maybe helpful to understand exactly what this notion of differentiability gains for us.
First, unlike the Sobolev notions, this does not handle functions which be …

Higher integrability for Sobolev functions
Since the OP asked for a discussion of features, I provide one by way of an explanation of Christian Remling's counterexample:
Holder's inequality states that
$$ | \int fg | \leq \| f\|_p \|g\|_q $$

$f=0$ in $H^{-1}(\Omega)$ implies $f=0$ almost everywhere
A bit of a pet peeve of mine: the negative Sobolev spaces are spaces of distributions. However, your question (phrased as asking $f = 0$ a.e.) presupposes that elements of $H^{-1}$ can be represented …

$L^p$ domination of mixed partial derivatives by the unmixed ones?
Since you tagged reference-request:
In the PDE/harmonic analysis literature this is a consequence of the Calderon-Zygmund Inequality, it is one of the main tools for studying elliptic regularity theor …

Equivalent Norms on Sobolev Spaces
It is at least true for $k = 2\ell$ and $p \in (1,2]$. The restriction on $k$ is just to make the computation simpler, and shouldn't be too hard to extend to $k$ being odd. The restriction to $p\in (1 …

Question about calculation in Schwartz space
The key computation is the commutator $$ \Lambda^s (xf) - x \Lambda^s f. $$ You can check this "classically" in the case $s = 4$ to find $$ (1 - \Delta)^2 (xf) = x (1-\Delta)^2 f - 4 (1-\Delta) f'$$

Optimal constant for a Sobolev-type inequality
Taking the Fourier transform and using $L^2$ orthogonality you are equivalently trying to estimate
$$ \sum_{i + j +k = 0} \hat{u}_i \hat{u}_j \hat{u}_{k} |i+j|^{n+1}|k|^{n} $$
Now from the equality …

Fourier transform for $H^2(\mathbb{R}^N)$, $N\geq 5$
If $u \in H^2(\mathbb{R}^N)$, then its Fourier transform satisfies $\hat{u} \in L^2$ and $(1 + |\xi|^2) \hat{u} \in L^2$. By Holder inequality you have
$$ \|\hat{u}\|_{q} \leq \| (1 + |\xi|^2)^{-1} …

If $u \in H^2(\mathbb{R}^3)$, does $r^{-1} u \in H^{\alpha}(\mathbb{R}^3)$ for some $\alpha ...
As noted by Christian Remling, the Fourier transform of $|x|^{-1}$ is $|\xi|^{-2}$, so the relevant integral you wish to bound is
$$\iiint |\eta - \xi|^{-2} \bar{\hat{u}}(\xi) |\eta|^{2\alpha} \hat{u} …

Tangential Sobolev spaces
The assumption that $\Omega$ is bounded is in fact required. (So your attempt is the correct proof, once you fix the omission in the statement.)
Counterexample: let $\Omega$ be the upper half plane. L …

Global Poincaré type estimate
