We introduce a class of concentrated p-Lévy integrable functions approximating the unity, which serves as the core tool to characterize the Sobolev spaces and the space of functions of bounded variation in the spirit of Bourgain-Brezis-Mironescu. We provide this characterization for a class of unbounded domains satisfying the extension property. We also examine the situation where the extension property fails.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
