We give an elementary proof of a compact embedding theorem in abstract Sobolev spaces. The result is first presented in a general context and later specialized to the case of degenerate Sobolev spaces defined with respect to nonnegative quadratic forms. Although our primary interest concerns degenerate quadratic forms, our result also applies to nondegener- ate cases, and we consider several such applications, including the classical Rellich-Kondrachov compact embedding theorem and results for the class of s-John domains, the latter for weights equal to powers of the distance to the boundary. We also derive a compactness result for Lebesgue spaces on quasimetric spaces unrelated to Euclidean space and possibly without any notion of gradient.
This short note investigates the compact embedding of degenerate matrix weighted Sobolev spaces into weighted Lebesgue spaces. The Sobolev spaces explored are defined as the abstract completion of Lipschitz functions in a bounded domain $Omega$ with respect to the norm: $$|f|_{QH^{1,p}(v,mu;Omega)} = |f|_{L^p_v(Omega)} + | abla f|_{mathcal{L}^p_Q(mu;Omega)}$$ where the weight $v$ is comparable to a power of the pointwise operator norm of the matrix valued function $Q=Q(x)$ in $Omega$. Following our main theorem, we give an explicit application where degeneracy is controlled through an ellipticity condition of the form $$w(x)|xi|^p leq left(xicdot Q(x)xiright)^{p/2}leq tau(x)|xi|^p$$ for a pair of $p$-admissible weights $wleq tau$ in $Omega$. We also give explicit examples demonstrating the sharpness of our hypotheses.
In this paper we are concerned with some abstract results regarding to fractional Orlicz-Sobolev spaces. Precisely, we ensure the compactness embedding for the weighted fractional Orlicz-Sobolev space into the Orlicz spaces, provided the weight is unbounded. We also obtain a version of Lions vanishing Lemma for fractional Orlicz-Sobolev spaces, by introducing new techniques to overcome the lack of a suitable interpolation law. Finally, as a product of the abstract results, we use a minimization method over the Nehari manifold to prove the existence of ground state solutions for a class of nonlinear Schr{o}dinger equations, taking into account unbounded or bounded potentials.
We prove that the Cauchy problem for the dispersion generalized Benjamin-Ono equation [partial_t u+|partial_x|^{1+alpha}partial_x u+uu_x=0, u(x,0)=u_0(x),] is locally well-posed in the Sobolev spaces $H^s$ for $s>1-alpha$ if $0leq alpha leq 1$. The new ingredient is that we develop the methods of Ionescu, Kenig and Tataru cite{IKT} to approach the problem in a less perturbative way, in spite of the ill-posedness results of Molinet, Saut and Tzvetkovin cite{MST}. Moreover, as a bi-product we prove that if $0<alpha leq 1$ the corresponding modified equation (with the nonlinearity $pm uuu_x$) is locally well-posed in $H^s$ for $sgeq 1/2-alpha/4$.
We provide new characterizations of Sobolev ad BV spaces in doubling and Poincare metric spaces in the spirit of the Bourgain-Brezis-Mironescu and Nguyen limit formulas holding in domains of R^N.
We obtain some nonlocal characterizations for a class of variable exponent Sobolev spaces arising in nonlinear elasticity theory and in the theory of electrorheological fluids. We also get a singular limit formula extending Nguyen results to the anisotropic case.
