Abstract:

We prove that if $A$ is a bounded open set in $\R^2$ and the complement of $A$ satisfies suitable structural assumptions (for example it has a countable number of connected components), then $W^{1,2}(A)$ is dense in $W^{1,p}(A)$ for every $1<= p<2$. The main application of this density result is the study of stability under boundary variations for two dimensional nonlinear Neumann problems.
