Sobolev and BV spaces on metric measure spaces via derivations and integration by parts

چکیده
We develop a theory of BV and Sobolev Spaces via integration by parts formula in abstract metric spaces; the role of vector fields is played by Weaver’s metric derivations. The definition hereby given is shown to be equivalent to many others present in literature. Introduction In the last few years a great attention has been devoted to the theory of Sobolev spaces W 1,q on metric measure spaces (X, d,m), see for instance [10, 9, 6] for an overview on this subject and [3] for more recent developments. These definitions of Sobolev spaces usually come with a weak definition of modulus of gradient, in particular the notion of q-upper gradient has been introduced in [13] and used in [14] for a Sobolev space theory. Also, in [14] the notion of minimal q-upper gradient has been proved to be equivalent to the notion of relaxed upper gradient arising in Cheeger’s paper [7]. In [3] the definitions of q-relaxed slope and q-weak upper gradient are given and the minimal ones are seen to be equivalent to the ones in [14]. All of those approach give us a notion of modulus of the gradient instead of the gradient itself, and an integration by parts formula is present only in special cases, and moreover it is often only an inequality. In this paper we want to fill this gap, namely giving a definition of Sobolev spaces more similar to the classical one given with an integration by parts formula; in R this formula can be written as ∫

Well posedness of Lagrangian flows and continuity equations in metric measure spaces
We establish, in a rather general setting, an analogue of DiPerna-Lions theory on wellposedness of flows of ODE’s associated to Sobolev vector fields. Key results are a wellposedness result for the continuity equation associated to suitably defined Sobolev vector fields, via a commutator estimate, and an abstract superposition principle in (possibly extended) metric measure spaces, via an embed...
متن کاملQuasi-contractive Mappings in Fuzzy Metric Spaces
We consider the concept of fuzzy quasi-contractions initiated by '{C}iri'{c} in the setting of fuzzy metric spaces and establish fixed point theorems for quasi-contractive mappings and for fuzzy $mathcal{H}$-contractive mappings on M-complete fuzzy metric spaces in the sense of George and Veeramani.The results are illustrated by a representative example.
متن کاملOn the definitions of Sobolev and BV spaces into singular spaces and the trace problem
The purpose of this paper is to relate two notions of Sobolev and BV spaces into metric spaces, due to N. Korevaar and R. Schoen on the one hand, and J. Jost on the other hand. We prove that these two notions coincide and define the same p-energies. We review also other definitions, due to L. Ambrosio (for BV maps into metric spaces), Y.G. Reshetnyak and finally to the notion of Newtonian-Sobol...
