Abstract:

The main result of this paper shows that an Orlicz-Sobolev space with zero boundary values on a doubling metric measure space with homogeneous dimension s, corresponding to an Orlicz function generalizing tq with q < s, is continuously embedded in an Orlicz space generalizing Lq*, where q* = sq/(s-q). In order to prove this embedding result, we use an optimal result of Heikkinen [18] describing sharp self-improving properties of Orlicz-Poincare inequalities in connected metric spaces. We also prove an Orlicz-Poincare inequality for functions vanishing on large subsets of balls and some counterparts of the results mentioned above for Orlicz-Sobolev spaces of Hajlasz type.

Keywords:

metric measure space, Orlicz-Sobolev space, Orlicz-Sobolev space with zero boundary values, Poincare inequality, continuous embedding.
