Lipschitz truncation preserves zero-boundary Sobolev spaces
ID: lipschitz-truncation-preserves-zero-boundary-sobolev-spaces
If and is Lipschitz continuous with , then . The Lipschitz version of the Sobolev chain rule controls its weak derivatives, and its boundary trace is . Equivalently, approximate by compactly supported smooth functions, apply the derivative bound to their compositions, and pass weakly in and strongly in . The closed linear space is weakly closed. This allows positive-part and bounded truncations in weak formulations without losing the Dirichlet boundary condition.
