This chapter presents a selection of some of the most important results in the theory of Sobolev spacesn. Special emphasis is placed on embedding theorems and the question as to whether an embedding map is compact or not. Some results concerning the k-set contraction nature of certain embedding maps are given, for both bounded and unbounded space domains: also the approximation numbers of embedding maps are estimated and these estimates used to classify the embeddings.

AbstractThe equations governing the flow of a viscous incompressible fluid around a rigid body that performs a prescribed time-periodic motion with constant axes of translation and rotation are investigated. Under the assumption that the period and the angular velocity of the prescribed rigid-body motion are compatible, and that the mean translational velocity is non-zero, existence of a time-periodic solution is established. The proof is based on an appropriate linearization, which is examined within a setting of absolutely convergent Fourier series. Since the corresponding resolvent problem is ill-posed in classical Sobolev spaces, a linear theory is developed in a framework of homogeneous Sobolev spaces.

AbstractWe study existence and regularity of solutions to the Dirichlet problem for the prescribed Jacobian equation, $$\det D u =f$$ det D u = f , where f is integrable and bounded away from zero. In particular, we take $$f\in L^p$$ f ∈ L p , where $$p>1$$ p > 1 , or in $$L\log L$$ L log L . We prove that for a Baire-generic f in either space there are no solutions with the expected regularity.

AbstractIn this paper, we show that if {b\in L^{2}(\mathbb{R}^{n})}, then the bilinear form defined on the product of the non-homogeneous Sobolev spaces {H_{s}^{2}(\mathbb{R}^{n})\times H_{s}^{2}(\mathbb{R}^{n})}, {0<s<1}, by(f,g)\in H_{s}^{2}(\mathbb{R}^{n})\times H_{s}^{2}(\mathbb{R}^{n})\to\int_{% \mathbb{R}^{n}}(\mathrm{Id}-\Delta)^{\frac{s}{2}}(fg)(\mathbf{x})b(\mathbf{x})% \mathop{}\!d\mathbf{x}is continuous if and only if the positive measure {\lvert b(\mathbf{x})\rvert^{2}\mathop{}\!d\mathbf{x}} is a trace measure for {H_{s}^{2}(\mathbb{R}^{n})}.
