Sobolev Versus Homogeneous Sobolev Extension

Abstract

In this paper, we study the relationship between Sobolev extension domains and homogeneous Sobolev extension domains. Precisely, we obtain the following results. 1- Let $1\leq q\leq p\leq \infty$. Then a bounded $(L^{1, p}, L^{1, q})$-extension domain is also a $(W^{1, p}, W^{1, q})$-extension domain. 2- Let $1\leq q\leq p<q^\star\leq \infty$ or $n< q \leq p\leq \infty$. Then a bounded domain is a $(W^{1, p}, W^{1, q})$-extension domain if and only if it is an $(L^{1, p}, L^{1, q})$-extension domain. 3- For $1\leq q<n$ and $q^\star<p\leq \infty$, there exists a bounded domain $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ which is a $(W^{1, p}, W^{1, q})$-extension domain but not an $(L^{1, p}, L^{1, q})$-extension domain for $1 \leq q <p\leq n$.
