Nonlinear Potential Theory and Weighted Sobolev Spaces

The book systematically develops the nonlinear potential theory connected with the weighted Sobolev spaces, where the weight usually belongs to Muckenhoupt's class of Ap weights. These spaces occur as solutions spaces for degenerate elliptic partial diffe

Introduction Let w be a weight on R N , i.e., a locally integrable function on R N such that w(x) > 0 for a.e, x ERN. Let 0 C R N be open, 1 :::; p < 00, and m a nonnegative integer. The weighted Sobolev space consists of all functions u with weak derivatives DOlU, [o] :::; m, satisfying lIullw,;;"p(o) = (

In the case w = 1, this space is denoted Wm,P(O). Sobolev spaces without weights occur as spaces of solutions for elliptic and parabolic partial differential equations. Typically, 2m is the order of the equation and the case p = 2 corresponds to linear equations. Details can be found in almost any book on partial differential equations. For degenerate partial differential equations, i.e., equations with various types of singularities in the coefficients, it is natural to look for solutions in weighted Sobolev spaces; see, e.g., Fabes, Kenig, and Serapioni [36], Fabes, Jerison, and Kenig [35], Fabes, Kenig, and Jerison [37], and Heinonen, Kilpelainen, and Martio [59]. A class of weights, which is particularly well understood, is the class of Ap weights that was introduced by B. Mucken
