About Sobolev Space definition.












2












$begingroup$


I would like to know if this two definitions for Sobolev Spaces are equivalent:
$H_2^m([a,b]):={f: f',...,f^{(m-1)} text{absolutely continuous}, int _a^b (f^{(m)})^2dx<infty }$



and $H_2^m([a,b])$ contains all functions $f$ such that $D^mu f in L_2([a,b])$ for $mu=0,1,...,m$



The first definition requires the $m$th derivative to be square integrable, while in the second one all derivatives (up to order m) must belong to $L_2([a,b])$ and no continuity is required.
I guess it has to do with the fact that absolute continuity is required, but I want to be sure that both are valid.
Any hint will be greatly appreciated.

    Or could it be that the second is not actually a definition in the formal sense, but just a state? It came to my mind that maybe the author was not actually defining the space but just making a characterization
