Fuglede’s theorem in generalized Orlicz–Sobolev spaces
AbstractIn this paper, we show that Orlicz–Sobolev spaces $$W^{1,\varphi }(\varOmega )$$ W 1 , φ ( Ω ) can be characterized with the ACL- and ACC-characterizations. ACL stands for absolutely continuous on lines and ACC for absolutely continuous on curves. Our results hold under the assumptions that $$C^1(\varOmega )$$ C 1 ( Ω ) functions are dense in $$W^{1,\varphi }(\varOmega )$$ W 1 , φ ( Ω ) , and $$\varphi (x,\beta ) \ge 1$$ φ ( x , β ) ≥ 1 for some $$\beta > 0$$ β > 0 and almost every $$x \in \varOmega $$ x ∈ Ω . The results are new even in the special cases of Orlicz and double phase growth.
