Question on Sobolev extension onto boundary












3














Let $U subset mathbb R^3$ be an open, bounded and connected set with a $C^2-$regular boundary $partial U$. I'm trying to understand the following implication:




If $fin W^{2-1/2,2}(U)$ then $f{vert}_{partial U} in W^{1,2}(partial U)(*)$




So, I'm aware of this theorem:



General Trace Theorem: if $fin W^{1-1/p,p}(partial Omega)$, then there exists a function $f in W^{1,p}(Omega)$ such that $f{vert}_{partial Omega}=f$



QUESTION: Is the above theorem still valid if we replace $partial Omega$ with $U$ and $Omega$ with $partial U$ so that $(*)$ makes sense? If not, is there any other way to deduce $(*)$?



Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!



EDIT: regularity in $(*)$ fixed

  • You're asking about whether you can extend a function from the boundary into the domain?

  • I think that you have the regularities reversed. Anyway, see here.

  • The given theorem is about extending from the inside of the domain to the boundary. Switching the two around would amount to extending a function given on the boundary to the domain, unless I am misunderstanding your intended meaning.

$newcommand{R}{mathbb{R}}$
The implication (*) is invalid, and for obvious reasons. The trace $f|_{partial U}$ is kind of a restriction of $f$, so you cannot expect it to have more derivatives than $f$!



To have an example, choose your favorite function $g in W^{1/2,2}(R)$ that doesn't belong to $W^{1,2}(R)$. Then consider
begin{align*}
U &= { (x,y,z) in R^3 : z > 0 }, \
f(x,y,z) & = g(x,y).
end{align*}

Then $f$ is locally in $W^{1/2,2}$, but its restriction to the boundary $partial U = R^2 times {0}$ is simply $g$, which is not in $W^{1,2}$.



Of course, one can modify this example to have a bounded domain.
