Let ∧ be a bounded, non-empty, open subset of Rn and given any x in Rn, let

let k ∊ N and suppose that p ∞ (1, ∞). It is known (c.f. e.g. [4]) that if u belongs to the Sobolev space WKp(∧) and u/dk ∊ Lp(∧), then . Further results in this direction are given in [5] and [9]. Moreover, if m is the mean distance function in the sense of [2], then it turns out that

Under appropriate smoothness conditions on the boundary of ∧, m and d are equivalent, and thus may in this case be characterized as the subspace of W1,2(∧) consisting of all functions u ∊ W1,2(∧) such that u/d ∊ L2(∧). Further results in this direction are given in [5] and [9]. Moreover, if m is the mean distance function in the sense of [2], then it turns out that
