We generalize a coincidence result from the case of Sobolev-type spaces to the case of Orlicz-Sobolev spaces corresponding to a doubling Young function, in the setting of doubling metric measure spaces. We consider three types of Orlicz-Sobolev spaces: (i) a space of Newtonian type; (ii) a space associated to a generalized Poincaré inequality; (iii) a space defined as the closure of the class of Orlicz functions that are locally Lipschitz, under some norm involving an abstract differential operator.
