Accessible parts of boundary for simply connected domains
For a bounded simply connected domain $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^2$, any point $z\in\Omega$ and any $0<\alpha<1$, we give a lower bound for the $\alpha$-dimensional Hausdorff content of the set of points in the boundary of $\Omega$ which can be joined to $z$ by a John curve with a suitable John constant depending only on $\alpha$, in terms of the distance of $z$ to $\partial\Omega$. In fact this set in the boundary contains the intersection $\partial\Omega_z\cap\partial\Omega$ of the boundary of a John sub-domain $\Omega_z$ of $\Omega$, centered at $z$, with the boundary of $\Omega$. This may be understood as a quantitative version of a result of Makarov. This estimate is then applied to obta…
A Density Result for Homogeneous Sobolev Spaces on Planar Domains
We show that in a bounded simply connected planar domain $\Omega$ the smooth Sobolev functions $W^{k,\infty}(\Omega)\cap C^\infty(\Omega)$ are dense in the homogeneous Sobolev spaces $L^{k,p}(\Omega)$.
