A locally summable generalized derivative of a locally summable function (see [[Generalized function|Generalized function]]).
  
A space $W^l_p(\Omega)$ of functions $f=f(x)=f(x_1,\ldots,x_n)$ on a set $\Omega\subset\RR^n$ (usually open) such that the $p$-th power of the absolute value of $f$ and of its generalized derivatives (cf. [[Generalized derivative|Generalized derivative]]) up to and including order $l$ are integrable ($1\leq p\leq \infty$).

$W^l_{pc}(\Omega)$ consisting of functions having partial derivatives of order $l$ that are uniformly continuous on $\Omega$. $W^l_{pc}(\Omega)$ has advantages over $W^l_p(\Omega)$, although it is not closed in the metric of $W^l_p(\Omega)$ and is not a complete space. However, for a wide class of domains (those with a Lipschitz boundary, see below) the space $W^l_{pc}(\Omega)$ is dense in $W^l_p(\Omega)$ for all $p$, $1\leq p<\infty$, that is, for such domains the space $W^l_p(\Omega)$ acquires a new property in addition to completeness, in that every function belonging to it can be arbitrarily well approximated in the metric of $W^l_p(\Omega)$ by functions from $W^l_{pc}(\Omega)$.

The norm \eqref{eq:2} is equivalent to the norm \eqref{eq:1}, i.e.  
 
$c_1 \norm{f}\leq\norm{f}^\prime\leq c_2\norm{f}$,

One can consider more general anisotropic spaces (classes) $W^\bfl_p(\Omega)$, where $\bfl=(l_1,\ldots,l_n)$ is a positive vector (see [[Imbedding theorems|Imbedding theorems]]). For every such vector $\bfl$ one can define, effectively and to a known extent exhaustively, a class of domains $\mathfrak{M}^{(\bfl)}$ with the property that if $\Omega\in\mathfrak{M}^{(\bfl)}$, then any function $f\in W^\bfl_p(\Omega)$ can be extended to $\R^n$ within the same class. More precisely, it is possible to define a function $\overline{f}$ on $\R^n$ with the properties

where $c$ does not depend on $f$ (see [[#References|[3]]]).

For the further development of this method see, for example, [[#References|[3]]].
 
  
The classes $W^\bfl_p$ and $W^l_p$ can be generalized to the case of fractional $l$, or vectors $\bfl=(l_1,\ldots,l_n)$ with fractional components $l_j$.

The space $W^l_p(\Omega)$ can also be defined for negative integers $l$. Its elements are usually generalized functions, that is, linear functionals $(f,\phi)$ on infinitely-differentiable functions $\phi$ with compact support in $\Omega$.

An equivalent definition is as follows: Suppose that a locally summable function on can be modified in such a way that, on a set of -dimensional measure zero, it will be locally absolutely continuous with respect to for almost-all points , in the sense of the -dimensional measure. Then has an ordinary partial derivative with respect to for almost-all . If the latter is locally summable, then it is called a Sobolev generalized derivative.

A third equivalent definition is as follows: Given two functions and , suppose there is a sequence of continuously-differentiable functions on such that for any domain whose closure lies in ,
