On the density of smooth functions in Sobolev-Orlicz spaces (Q2567683): Difference between revisions

Let \(\Omega\) be a bounded domain in \(\mathbb R^n\) and let \[ 1 < \alpha \leq p(x) \leq \beta < \infty, \quad x \in \Omega. \] The paper deals with Lebesgue-Orlicz spaces characterised by \[ A_p (f) = \int_\Omega | f(x)| ^{p(x)} \, dx < \infty, \] the related Sobolev-Orlicz spaces, characterised by \[ A_p (f) + A_p (| \nabla f| ) < \infty, \] and some modifications. Of interest are \(p(x)= w(| x| )\) with \(w(t) \sim | \log t | ^{-1}\), \(0<t \leq 1/2\) and generalisations.
