Abstract
Let Ω be a John domain, let Γ ⊂ ∂Ω be an h-set, and let g and v be weights on Ω that are distance functions to the set Γ of special form. In the paper, sufficient conditions are obtained under which the Sobolev weighted class W r p,g (Ω) is continuously embedded in the space L q,v (Ω). Moreover, bounds for the approximation of functions in W r p,g (Ω) by polynomials of degree not exceeding r − 1 in L q,v (\(\tilde \Omega \)) are found, where \(\tilde \Omega \) is a subdomain generated by a subtree of the tree T defining the structure of Ω.
