“…The conclusion is that W 1,p (Ω) is not a Banach lattice (for a delicate result in this direction see Pełczyński, Wojciechowski [131]). We stress, however, that there are situations where the lattice norm property is not needed for the whole Sobolev space, but just for the space to which f and |Df | belong (see the recent study in Jain, Molchanova, Singh, Vodopyanov [74], where a characterization in terms of the boundedness of the maximal operator is proved). We recall here also another example, which is in a finite dimensional vector space.…”
