SUMMARY

The discussion confirms that a function g belonging to C²(∂U) does not automatically imply that g is in L²(∂U) when the boundary ∂U is not compact. An example provided involves a modification of the function f(x) = sin(x)/x. However, if ∂U is compact, the conclusion shifts to likely being true, as the bounded nature of U ensures continuity on the closure of U, making the result valid.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of C² functions and their properties
  • Knowledge of L² space and Lebesgue integrability
  • Familiarity with compact sets in mathematical analysis
  • Basic concepts of bounded sets in Rⁿ
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the properties of C² functions in relation to L² spaces
  • Study the implications of compactness on function continuity
  • Explore examples of functions that are C² but not L²
  • Investigate the relationship between bounded sets and integrability in Rⁿ
USEFUL FOR

Mathematicians, analysts, and students studying functional analysis, particularly those interested in the relationships between differentiability and integrability of functions on boundaries of sets.

Having bounded set ##U\subset\mathbb{R}^n## with ##C^1## boundary ##\partial U## and a function ##g\in C^2(\partial U)##, does one automatically have ##g\in L^2(\partial U)##?
I don't need a proof/explanation, yes/no answer is sufficient.

I assume ##C^2## is twice continuously differentiable and that ##L^2## square (Lebesgue)-integrable.

The answer is no. An example is given by some modification of the function ##f(x)=\frac{\sin (x)}{x}##.

If ##\partial U## is compact, then the answer is probably yes.

Since the domain (U) is bounded, then your example is bad. U bounded and the condition on the boundary may be sufficient to insure continuity on the closure of U, which is compact.
 
I somehow missed that ##U## was supposed to be bounded. The result is true then.
 
Relativistic Momentum, Mass, and Energy Momentum and mass (...), the classic equations for conserving momentum and energy are not adequate for the analysis of high-speed collisions. (...) The momentum of a particle moving with velocity ##v## is given by $$p=\cfrac{mv}{\sqrt{1-(v^2/c^2)}}\qquad{R-10}$$ ENERGY In relativistic mechanics, as in classic mechanics, the net force on a particle is equal to the time rate of change of the momentum of the particle.
