Compact Sobolev embeddings and torsion functions

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: For a general open set, we characterize the compactness of the embedding W01,phookrightarrowLq in terms of the summability of its torsion function. In particular, for 1leq<p we obtain that the embedding is continuous if and only if it is compact. The proofs crucially exploit a {it torsional Hardy inequality} that we investigate in details.
