Prove that a function lies in $L^1$ and in $W^{(1,1)}$ for some parameter

57 Views Asked by At

I want to do the following tasks

Let $G:=B_1(0)\subset \mathbb R^2$ be the open ball around $0$ with radius 2 in the norm $||\cdot||$ and $u_{\rho}(x)=||x||^{\rho}_2$, $x\in G$. Show the following

a) $u_p \in L^1(G)$, if $\rho>-2$

b) $u_p\in W^{(1,1)}(G)$, if $\rho>-1$ , where $W^{k,p}$ is the Sobolev-space.

For a):

I used substitution: $x=rcos(\phi)$, $y=rsin(\phi)$, to obtain:

$\int_G||x||_2^{\rho}dx=\int_0^{2\pi}\int_0^1 r^p\cdot r drd\phi=\int_0^{2\pi}\int_0^1 r^{p+1}\cdot drd\phi$ which is finite if $\rho>-2$.

I guess this should be correct.

But I don't know how to show the other task.

I have to show that the partial derivatives of $u_p$ are in $L^1$?
