The aim of this paper is to investigate the boundary traces of functions from the Sobolev space \(W^{1,p}(\Omega)\), \(1\leq p<\infty\), (the norm in this space is \(\|u\|_{W^{1,p}(\Omega)}:=\|u\|_{L^p(\Omega)}+\|\nabla u\|_{L^p(\Omega)}\), where \(\nabla u\) is the gradient of \(u\)) where \(\Omega\) is a domain in \(\mathbb R^n\), \(n\geq 2\), with non-smooth boundary \(\partial\Omega\). In particular, the traces on \(\partial\Omega\) of the \(W^{1,p}(\Omega)\)-functions are characterized for a certain class of domains \(\Omega\) with non-Lipschitzian boundaries; singularities of the ``zero edge'' or ``\(2\pi\)-edge'' type are also admitted as well as the tangency of hypersurfaces at some points.
