Fractional order Orlicz-Sobolev spaces

Abstract

In this paper we define the fractional order Orlicz-Sobolev spaces, and prove its convergence to the classical Orlicz-Sobolev spaces when the fractional parameter s↑1 in the spirit of the celebrated result of Bourgain-Brezis-Mironescu. We then deduce some consequences such as Γ−convergence of the modulars and convergence of solutions for some fractional versions of the Δ g operator as the fractional parameter s↑1.
