We study extensions of Newtonian Sobolev functions to the completion $\\widehat{X}$ of $X$ and use them to obtain several results on $X$ itself, in particular concerning minimal weak upper gradients, Lebesgue points, quasicontinuity, regularity properties of the capacity and better Poincar\\'e inequalities. We also provide a discussion about possible applications of the completions and extension results to $p$-harmonic functions on noncomplete spaces and show by examples that this is a rather delicate issue opening for various interpretations and new investigations.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-05-05T15:12:03.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "31E05", "30L99", "31C45", "35J60", "46E35" ], "keywords": [ "noncomplete metric space", "newtonian sobolev functions", "poincare inequality", "concerning minimal weak upper gradients", "better poincare inequalities" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
