On limiting relations for capacities (Q1952425)

Let \(\mathrm{cap}(E; B^\alpha_{p,q})\) be the Besov capacity of a set \(E\) in \(\mathbb{R}^n\). The limiting behavior of this entity is studied as \(\alpha \to 1\) or \(\alpha \to 0\). In particular, it is proved that if \(1\leq p<n\), \(1\leq q<\infty\), and \(E\) is open, then \[ J_{p,q}(\alpha, E)=[\alpha (1- \alpha)q]^{p/q} \mathrm{cap}(E; B^\alpha_{p,q}) \] tends to the Sobolev capacity \(\mathrm{cap}(E; W^1_{p})\) as \(\alpha \to 1\). The case when \(E\) is compact is also considered.
