Abstract

We establish the equivalence between the Sobolev seminorm k∇uk_Lp and a quantity obtained when replacing strong L^p by weak Lp in the Gagliardo seminorm |u|_Ws,p computed at s = 1. As corollaries we derive alternative estimates in some exceptional cases (involving W^1,1) where the “anticipated” fractional Sobolev and Gagliardo–Nirenberg inequalities fail.
