Abstract

Abstract We describe some sufficient conditions, under which smooth and compactly supported functions are or are not dense in the fractional Sobolev space $$W^{s,p}(\Omega )$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mrow> <mml:msup> <mml:mi>W</mml:mi> <mml:mrow> <mml:mi>s</mml:mi> <mml:mo>,</mml:mo> <mml:mi>p</mml:mi> </mml:mrow> </mml:msup> <mml:mrow> <mml:mo>(</mml:mo> <mml:mi>Ω</mml:mi> <mml:mo>)</mml:mo> </mml:mrow> </mml:mrow> </mml:math> for an open, bounded set $$\Omega \subset \mathbb {R}^{d}$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mrow> <mml:mi>Ω</mml:mi> <mml:mo>⊂</mml:mo> <mml:msup> <mml:mrow> <mml:mi>R</mml:mi> </mml:mrow> <mml:mi>d</mml:mi> </mml:msup> </mml:mrow> </mml:math> . The density property is closely related to the lower and upper Assouad codimension of the boundary of $$\Omega$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mi>Ω</mml:mi> </mml:math> . We also describe explicitly the closure of $$C_{c}^{\infty }(\Omega )$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mrow> <mml:msubsup> <mml:mi>C</mml:mi> <mml:mrow> <mml:mi>c</mml:mi> </mml:mrow> <mml:mi>∞</mml:mi> </mml:msubsup> <mml:mrow> <mml:mo>(</mml:mo> <mml:mi>Ω</mml:mi> <mml:mo>)</mml:mo> </mml:mrow> </mml:mrow> </mml:math> in $$W^{s,p}(\Omega )$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mrow> <mml:msup> <mml:mi>W</mml:mi> <mml:mrow> <mml:mi>s</mml:mi> <mml:mo>,</mml:mo> <mml:mi>p</mml:mi> </mml:mrow> </mml:msup> <mml:mrow> <mml:mo>(</mml:mo> <mml:mi>Ω</mml:mi> <mml:mo>)</mml:mo> </mml:mrow> </mml:mrow> </mml:math> under some mild assumptions about the geometry of $$\Omega$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mi>Ω</mml:mi> </mml:math> . Finally, we prove a variant of a fractional order Hardy inequality.
