Sobolev $(p,q)$-extension operators and Neumann eigenvalues

Abstract

In this article, we consider $(p,q)$-extension operators, $1<q\le p<\infty$, on Sobolev spaces. Based on composition operators on Sobolev spaces, we construct the extension operators in outward cuspidal domains with estimates of their norms. Using these $(p,q)$-extension operators, we prove estimates for the non-linear Neumann eigenvalues of the $p$-Laplace operator in outward cuspidal domains.
