Does a *topological* manifold have an exhaustion by compact submanifolds with boundary?
Doesn't this depend on the definition of "manifold". If the only condition is being locally Euclidean, then there are connected non second countable examples (e.g., the "long line") for which the answ …

Definition of Sobolev spaces as a space of sections of certain type
There is a fairly careful discussion of this in my book "Foundations of Global Non=Linear Analysis", Benjamin & Co. 1968
(Added later:) It occurred to me that this old book of mine is probably not ea …

Characterization of the Lie derivative
The Lie derivative $L_X$ with respect to a smooth vector field $X$
is of course well-defined on the whole tensor algebra and it is a
derivation of this algebra. If $f$ is a smooth function it satisfi …
