I", "authors": [ "Pavel Shvartsman" ], "comment": "75 pages", "categories": [ "math.FA" ], "abstract": "Let $L^m_p(R^n)$, $p\\in [1,\\infty]$, be the homogeneous Sobolev space, and let $E\\subset R^n$ be a closed set. For each $p>n$ and each non-negative integer $m$ we give an intrinsic characterization of the restrictions to $E$ of $m$-jets generated by functions $F\\in L^{m+1}_p(R^n)$. Our trace criterion is expressed in terms of variations of corresponding Taylor remainders of $m$-jets evaluated on a certain family of \"well separated\" two point subsets of $E$. For $p=\\infty$ this result coincides with the classical Whitney-Glaeser extension theorem for $m$-jets. Our approach is based on a representation of the Sobolev space $L^{m+1}_p(R^n)$, $p>n$, as a union of $C^{m,(d)}(R^n)$-spaces where $d$ belongs to a family of metrics on $R^n$ with certain \"nice\" properties. Here $C^{m,(d)}(R^n)$ is the space of $C^m$-functions on $R^n$ whose partial derivatives of order $m$ are Lipschitz functions with respect to $d$. This enables us to show that, for every non-negative integer $m$ and every $p\\in (n,\\infty)$, the very same classical linear Whitney extension operator provides an almost optimal extension of $m$-jets generated by $L^{m+1}_p$-functions.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-07-06T15:09:45.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "46E35" ], "keywords": [ "whitney-type extension theorems", "sobolev functions", "classical linear whitney extension operator", "classical whitney-glaeser extension theorem", "non-negative integer" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 75, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
