We consider Sobolev spaces with values in Banach spaces as they are frequently useful in applied problems. Given two Banach spaces X = {0} and Y , each Lipschitz continuous mappingBut if F is one-sided Gateaux differentiable no condition on the space is needed. We also study when weak properties in the sense of duality imply strong properties. Our results are applied to prove embedding theorems, a multi-dimensional version of the Aubin-Lions Lemma and characterizations of the space W 1,p 0 (Ω, X).

Given a continuous function on the boundary of a bounded open set in R d there exists a unique bounded harmonic function, called the Perron solution, taking the prescribed boundary values at least at all regular points (in the sense of Wiener) of the boundary. We extend this result to vector-valued functions and consider several methods of constructing the Perron solution which are classical in the real-valued case. We also apply our results to solve elliptic and parabolic boundary value problems of vector-valued functions.
