Theorem in Adams Sobolev spaces book requires $uin L^p(Omega) cap L^r(Omega)$ but we only have $u in C^infty$...












1














Let $Omega$ be a (open) domain in $mathbb{R}^n$. In Theorem 4.19 of Adams book on Sobolev spaces he makes use of Theorem 2.11 (An Interpolation Inequality). Theorem 2.11 requires that if we have $1le p < q < r$ and $uin L^p(Omega) cap L^r(Omega)$, then we have that $uin L^q(Omega)$ and
$$
||u||_q le ||u||_p^theta ||u||_r^{1-theta},
$$



for $0 < theta < 1$.



However in Theorem 4.19 we only have $uin C^infty(Omega)$ so how can he apply Theorem 2.11?



I don't know if it makes any difference, but he also states that $u$ and all its derivatives are extended by zero outside $Omega$ in Theorem 4.19. Is it this extension by zero that lets him have know that $uin L^p(Omega) cap L^r(Omega)$ and thus apply Theorem 2.11?

    You might say that the inequality is obviously true (but useless) if $unotin L^p$ or $unotin L^q$ since the right-hand side is infinite. You can't conclude that $uin L^q$ of course. That with the extension outside of $Omega$ can't be an important fact since after all $Omega=mathbb{R}^n$ is allowed.

  • Actually I see how it all works out now from the rest of the theorem so nevermind.

When Adams states that $u in C^infty(Omega)$ in the opening paragraph of this theorem he doing so to show that we have inequality (13).



He then estimates an $L^p$ norm of $u$ and can make use of inequality (13) through the density of the $C^infty$ functions in $L^p$ spaces.
