On Two Questions by Brezis et al Concerning the Critical Difference Quotient Characterization of First-Order Sobolev Spaces
Abstract
Let N∈ℕ and γ∈[−1,0). In [Anal. PDE 17 (2024)], Brezis, Seeger, Van~Schaftingen, and Yung asked how, in the exceptional range γ∈[−1,0), BV̇(γ) and Ẇ1,1(γ) on ℝN are related to other function spaces, especially to Hardy--Sobolev spaces, and whether these spaces are normable. In this article, we prove that the homogeneous Hardy--Sobolev space is strictly embedded, respectively, into BV̇(γ) and Ẇ1,1(γ), and neither Ẇ1,1(γ)/ℝ nor BV̇(γ)/ℝ is normable, which answers the above two questions.
