I am learning Sobolev spaces. There seem to be a difference while approximating a function in $W^{k,P}(\Omega)$ by smooth function $C^\infty (\Omega)$ and $C^\infty ( \overline \Omega)$, where we use $\overline \Omega$ to refer to the closure of $\Omega$.

How does the closure make a difference , waiting for explanation.

    @JuanSimões: What is the basic thing that we need to keep in mind when we go from $W_{loc}$ to the whole of $W$ ( but not upto the boundary ) ?2012-05-28
