Singular sets of Sobolev functions
Comptes Rendus. Mathématique, Volume 334 (2002) no. 7, pp. 539-544.

We are interested in finding Sobolev functions with “large” singular sets. Given N,k, 1<p<∞, kp<N, for any compact subset A of N , such that its upper box dimension is less than Nkp, we construct a Sobolev function uW k,p ( N ) which is singular precisely on A. We introduce the notions of lower and upper singular dimensions of Sobolev space, and show that both are equal to Nkp.

Nous sommes intéressés à trouver des fonctions de Sobolev dont l'ensemble des singularités est « grand ». Étant donné N,k, 1<p<∞, kp<N, pour chaque sous-ensemble A compact de N , dont la « box-dimension » supérieure est plus petite que Nkp, nous construisons une fonction de Sobolev uW k,p ( N ) qui est singulière précisément sur A. Nous introduisons les notions de dimensions singulières inférieure et supérieure de l'espace de Sobolev, et montrons que ses valeurs sont Nkp.
