Sobolev spaces in this chapter we begin our study of sobolev spaces. Here, we collect a few basic results about sobolev spaces. Sobolev spaces have become an indispensable tool in the theory of partial differential equations and all graduatelevel courses on pdes ought to devote some time to the study of the more important properties of these spaces. Strictly speaking, this lp space consists of equivalence classes of functions, but here there is no point in maintaining this distinction.

Whether youve loved the book or not, if you give your honest and detailed thoughts then people will find new books that are right for them.
Motivation for studying these spaces is that solutions of partial differential equations, when they exist, belong naturally to sobolev spaces. Sobolev spaces play an outstanding role in modern analysis, in particular, in the theory of partial differential equations and its applications in mathematical physics. Certain other results related to the imbedding theorem are proved by variations of the arguments used in the proof of theorem 1, and the weak cone condition.
