With the supremum norm, is complete. A uniform Cauchy sequence has a uniform continuous limit, and one member controls the limit uniformly outside a large ball. Every member is also uniformly continuous: use uniform continuity on a large compact ball and smallness of the function beyond it.

Nilpotent group Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-09-28
A group is nilpotent when it has a finite central series, equivalently when its lower central series reaches the identity.
Weak solution Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-14
A weak solution satisfies an integrated identity in which derivatives are transferred to test functions. It can therefore exist with fewer classical derivatives.
Classical solution Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-25
A classical solution has enough ordinary derivatives for the differential equation and its data to hold pointwise. For the heat equation, and should be continuous in the interior, with the specified initial and boundary traces. A weak solution instead imposes an integrated identity, allowing less regular data; uniqueness must always be stated for the solution class used.

Affine Sobolev space Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-11-05
For , an open set and , the Affine Sobolev spaceis a translate of a closed linear subspace of the first-order Sobolev space. This definition makes sense without assuming an ordinary boundary trace.
On a bounded Lipschitz domain, the Sobolev trace theorem identifies it exactly with the Sobolev space elements having the same boundary trace as , since the trace kernel is . It is the natural admissible set for a variational Dirichlet problem. Specifying a trace datum alone also requires an extension in the stated Sobolev space; arbitrary boundary data need not admit one.
Sobolev space with a partial Dirichlet condition Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-11-05
Let be a bounded Lipschitz domain and a measurable portion of its boundary. The spaceis a closed vector subspace of the H1 space. The Sobolev trace operator maps continuously into , and restriction to is bounded, so is the kernel of a continuous linear map. Boundary regularity is what makes this ordinary trace formulation available.
No positive-measure assumption is needed for closedness. If is also connected and has positive surface measure, the Poincare inequality with a partial Dirichlet boundary controls the full Sobolev norm by the gradient norm on .
