We shall be concerned throughout this paper with the Sobolev space Wm,p(G) and the existence and compactness (or lack of it) of its imbeddings (i.e. continuous inclusions) into various LP spaces over G, where G is an open, not necessarily bounded subset of n-dimensional Euclidean space En. For each positive integer m and each real p ≧ 1 the space Wm,p(G) consists of all u in LP(G) whose distributional partial derivatives of all orders up to and including m are also in LP(G). With respect to the norm

1.1

Wm,p(G) is a Banach space. It has been shown by Meyers and Serrin [9] that the set of functions in Cm(G) which, together with their partial derivatives of orders up to and including m, are in LP(G) forms a dense subspace of Wm,p(G).
