Abstract

An important property known, among other cases, for W 1,p(Ω) versus \({C^1(\overline{\Omega})}\)-local minimizers of certain functions is extended to the general situation of local minimizers of a functional I on a Banach space Y versus X-local minimizers of I provided X is a Banach space continuously and densely embedded in Y.
