Definition
Let $\openint a b$ be an open real interval.
Let $\map {H^n} {a, b}$ be the Sobolev space.
Let $f \in \map {H^n} {a, b}$.
Let $\norm {\,\cdot\,}_p$ be the $2$-seminorm.
Then the Sobolev norm, denoted by $\norm {\,\cdot\,}_{k,p}$, is defined by
- $\ds \norm {f}_{k,p} := \paren {\sum_{i \mathop = 0}^k \norm {f^{\paren i} }_p^p}^{\frac 1 p}$
