(Sobolev space) A star domain in $\Bbb R^n$

139 Views Asked by At

We know the theorem:

  • If $\Omega$ is a star domain in $\Bbb R^n$, then $C^{\infty}(\overline{\Omega})$ is dense in $W^{k,p}(\Omega)$.

It means that $\overline{C^{\infty}(\overline{\Omega})}=W^{k,p}(\Omega)$

==========================================================

  • I have a question (I have trouble when I learn about Sobolev space):

$a.$ For example:

Let $\Omega=[-1,1]\times [-1,1] \setminus\{x=0,y \ge \dfrac{1}{2}\}$.

Can anyone post a function $u$ such that:

$$\exists u \in W^{1,p}(\Omega) \not \to \exists \{u_n\} \subset C^{\infty}(\Omega)$$ $$\|u_n-u\|_{W^{1,p}(\Omega)} \to 0$$

$b.$ If $\Omega$ is not a star domain in $\Bbb R^n$ then a domain $\Omega$ needs the properties so that $$\overline{C^{\infty}(\Omega)}=W^{k,p}(\Omega)$$ ?

Any help will be appreciated! Thanks!
