Abstract:

Let $S \subset \mathbb{R}^{n}$ be a nonempty closed set such that for some $d \in [0,n]$ and $\varepsilon > 0$ the d-Hausdorff content $\mathcal{H}^{d}_{\infty}(Q(x,r) \cap S) \geq \varepsilon r^{d}$ for all cubes $Q(x,r)$ with centre $x\in S$ and edge length $2r ∈ (0, 2]$. For each $p > \max{1, n − d}$ we give an intrinsic characterization of the trace space $W^{1}_{p}(\mathbb{R}^{n}) _{S}$ of the Sobolev space $W^{1}_{p}(\mathbb{R}^{n})$ to the set $S$. Furthermore, we prove the existence of a bounded linear operator $Ext:W^{1}_{p}(\mathbb{R}^{n}) _{S} \to W^{1}_{p}(\mathbb{R}^{n})$ such that $Ext$ is the right inverse to the standard trace operator. Our results extend those available in the case $p \in (1,n]$ for Ahlfors-regular sets $S$.
