Fractional variable exponents Sobolev trace spaces

Abstract

We introduce and study fractional variable exponents Sobolev trace spaces on any open set in the Euclidean space equipped with the Lebesgue measure. We show that every equivalence class of Sobolev functions has a quasicontinuous representatives. We use the relative capacity to characterize completely the zero trace fractional variable exponents Sobolev spaces. We also give a relative capacity criterium for removable sets.
