Continuity of the extension of a distribution to $H^s$

70 Views Asked by At

Let $u\in D'(\mathbb{R}^n)$ be a distribution and suppose that $u$ can be extended to linear functional on $H^s$. Does it follow that $u$ can be extended to a continuous linear functional on $H^s$?

As martini said: the existence of linear extension in the algebraic sense does not tell you anything. Such an extension can be shown to exist by following the proof of Hahn-Banach theorem without the majorizing functional.
