Sobolev embedding of H₀¹(Ω) in dimension two #

In dimension two the critical exponent of H¹ is infinite and the Gagliardo-Nirenberg-Sobolev inequality at p = 2 is unavailable, since it asks p < d. On a bounded domain the embedding into L⁴ still follows from the inequality at p = 3/2 < 2, whose conjugate exponent is 6, together with Hölder's inequality ‖∇u‖_{L^{3/2}(Ω)} ≤ |Ω|^{1/6} ‖∇u‖_{L²(Ω)}. This is the remark on n = 2 in the proof of Gilbarg and Trudinger's Theorem 8.1, where any exponent above 2 serves.

    A function supported in Ω has the same Lᵖ seminorm over Ω as over the whole space, for functions into any normed group.

    Two-dimensional Sobolev inequality on a test function: the L⁴(Ω) seminorm of the function coordinate is bounded by the sum of the L²(Ω) norms of the gradient coordinates.
