This paper is served as a first contribution regarding the boundedness of Hausdorff operators on function spaces with smoothness. The sharp conditions are established for boundedness of Hausdorff operators on Sobolev spaces W k,1 . As applications, some bounded and unbounded properties of Hardy operator and adjoint Hardy operator on W k,1 are deduced. 2010 Mathematics Subject Classification. 46E35, 47G10, 42B35.
