Is continuous increasing function in $H^1([0,1])$












1














Consider a function $f(x):[0,1]rightarrow mathbb{R}$. If $f(x)$ is continuous and increasing, is $f(x)$ in $H^1(Omega)$, the Sobolev space with norm $sqrt{int_0^1 (|f(x)|^2 + |Df(x)|^2) dx}$?

  • If $f$ is the "Devil's staircase" then it doesn't have a weak derivative (however it has a distributional derivative)

  • @CalvinKhor Thank you. But this function is only nondecreasing right? By ``increasing'' I mean strictly increasing.

As in the comments, the Devil's staircase, $mathcal D=mathcal D(x)$ is a non-decreasing function with no weak derivative; therefore it cannot lie in any Sobolev space. Since the OP wants a function that is increasing, one can consider $f(x) := x + mathcal D(x)$ instead.
