Abstract:
This paper is concerned with the relationships between ${L_p}$ differentiability and Sobolev functions. It is shown that if f is a Sobolev function with weak derivatives up to order k in ${L_p}$, and $0 \leq l \leq k$, then f has an ${L_p}$ derivative of order l everywhere except for a set which is small in the sense of an appropriate capacity. It is also shown that if a function has an ${L_p}$ derivative everywhere except for a set small in capacity and if these derivatives are in ${L_p}$, then the function is a Sobolev function. A similar analysis is applied to determine general conditions under which the Gauss-Green theorem is valid.References
