Sobolev spaces in metric measure spaces: reflexivity and lower semicontinuity of slope
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we make a survey of some recent developments of the theory of Sobolev spaces W (X, d,m), 1 < q < ∞, in metric measure spaces (X, d,m). In the final part of the paper we provide a new proof of the reflexivity of the Sobolev space based on Γ-convergence; this result extends Cheeger’s work because no Poincaré inequality is needed and the measure-theoretic doubling property is weakened to the metric doubling property of the support of m. We also discuss the lower semicontinuity of the slope of Lipschitz functions and some open problems.

For every finite nonnegative measure ft we introduce the Sobolev spaces W^'(Q,K) and we study the lower semicontinuity of functionals of the form where the integrand / is quasiconvex.

The purpose of this paper is to prove the existence of a renormalized solution of perturbed elliptic problems$ -operatorname{div}Big(a(x,u,nabla u)+Phi(u) Big)+ g(x,u,nabla u) = mumbox{ in }Omega, $ in the framework of Orlicz-Sobolev spaces without any restriction on the $M$ N-function of the Orlicz spaces, where $-operatorname{div}Big(a(x,u,nabla u)Big)$ is a Leray-Lions operator defined f...
متن کاملNecessary conditions for weak lower semicontinuity on domains with in nite measure ∗
We derive sharp necessary conditions for weak sequential lower semicontinuity of integral functionals on Sobolev spaces, with an integrand which only depends on the gradient of a scalar eld over a domain in R . An emphasis is put on domains with in nite measure, and the integrand is allowed to assume the value +∞.
متن کاملSobolev and BV spaces on metric measure spaces via derivations and integration by parts
We develop a theory of BV and Sobolev Spaces via integration by parts formula in abstract metric spaces; the role of vector fields is played by Weaver’s metric derivations. The definition hereby given is shown to be equivalent to many others present in literature. Introduction In the last few years a great attention has been devoted to the theory of Sobolev spaces W 1,q on metric measure spaces...

We study integral vectorial functionals F(u;) ? Z f(x; u(x); Du(x))dx where f satisses quasi-convexity assumption and its growth is controlled in term of N-functions. We obtain semicontinuity results in the weak * topology of Orlicz-Sobolev spaces.
