Sobolev-type spaces from generalized Poincaré inequalities
We define a Sobolev space by means of a generalized Poincaré inequality and relate it to a corresponding space based on upper gradients.
Fractional Maximal Functions in Metric Measure Spaces
We study the mapping properties of fractional maximal operators in Sobolev and Campanato spaces in metric measure spaces. We show that, under certain restrictions on the underlying metric measure space, fractional maximal operators improve the Sobolev regularity of functions and map functions in Campanato spaces to Hölder continuous functions. We also give an example of a space where fractional maximal function of a Lipschitz function fails to be continuous.
Fractional Hardy inequalities and visibility of the boundary
We prove fractional order Hardy inequalities on open sets under a combined fatness and visibility condition on the boundary. We demonstrate by counterexamples that fatness conditions alone are not sufficient for such Hardy inequalities to hold. In addition, we give a short exposition of various fatness conditions related to our main result, and apply fractional Hardy inequalities in connection with the boundedness of extension operators for fractional Sobolev spaces.
