A surprising formula for Sobolev norms

Abstract: We establish the equivalence between the Sobolev seminorm ‖∇u‖Lp and a quantity obtained when replacing strong Lp by weak Lp in the Gagliardo seminorm |u|Ws,p computed at s=1. As corollaries we derive alternative estimates in some exceptional cases (involving W1,1) where the “anticipated” fractional Sobolev and Gagliardo–Nirenberg inequalities fail.

“…When s ∈ (0, 1), • W s,p (R n ) is usually called the Gagliardo semi-norm. It is well known that, for any s ∈ [1, ∞), W s,p (R n ) contains only the functions that are almost everywhere constant; see, for instance, [8,9] and their references. Also, the same triviality holds true for s ∈ (−∞, 0].…”

“…Recently, Brezis, Van Schaftingen and Yung [7] provided a different approach by replacing the strong L p norm in the Gagliardo s-seminorm by the weak L p quasinorm, which complements the BBM formula. Precisely, they proved that there exist a positive constant…”

“…where C (p,n) is a positive constant depending only on p and n. Very recently, Brezis et al [13] discovered an alternative way to repair this defect by replacing the L p norm in (1.1) with the weak L p quasi-norm, namely, • L p,∞ (R n ×R n ) . For any given p ∈ [1, ∞), Brezis et al in [13] proved that there exist positive constants C 1 and C 2 such that, for any…”
