Abstract
In recent years the locally Sobolev functions got quite popular in works on applications of partial differential equations. However, the properties of those spaces have not been systematically studied and proved in the literature, resulting in many particular proofs by reduction to classical Sobolev spaces.
Following some hints of general theory scattered through classical literature, as well as some proofs of special cases, we systematically present the main results regarding the properties of W m,ploc and W m,pc spaces, their duality, reflexivity, imbeddings, density, weak topologies, etc., with particular emphasis on applications in partial differential equations of mathematical physics.
