Sobolev conjugate
The Sobolev conjugate of p for , where n is space dimensionality, is
This is an important parameter in the Sobolev inequalities.
Motivation
A question arises whether u from the Sobolev space belongs to for some q > p. More specifically, when does control ? It is easy to check that the following inequality
can not be true for arbitrary q. Consider , infinitely differentiable function with compact support. Introduce . We have that:
The inequality (*) for results in the following inequality for
If then by letting going to zero or infinity we obtain a contradiction. Thus the inequality (*) could only be true for
- ,
which is the Sobolev conjugate.
gollark: It's very useful when I need to debug some mess potatOS does.
gollark: PotatOS actually has global stack tracing built in.
gollark: Like <@!151391317740486657> .
gollark: Well, back when I was advertising it to new users, lots complained that they could not solve such a hard maths problem and stuff.
gollark: They complain lots.
