Properties of Sobolev Mappings

We study the properties of Sobolev functions and mappings, especially we study the violation of some properties. In the first part we study the Sobolev Embedding Theorem that guarantees W1,p (Ω) ⊂ Lp∗ (Ω) for some parameter p∗ (p, n, Ω). We show that for a general domain this relation does not have to be smooth as a function of p and not even continuous and we give the example of the domain in question. In the second part we study the Cesari's counterexample of the continuous mapping in W1,n ([−1, 1]n , Rn ) violating Lusin (N) condition. We show that this example can be constructed as a gradient mapping. In the third part we generalize the Cesari's counterexample and Ponomarev's counte- rexample for the higher derivative Sobolev spaces Wk,p (Ω, Rn ) and characterize the validity of the Lusin (N) condition in dependence on the parameters k and p and dimension.
