which fulfills that for any m ∈ N0, 1 ≤ p <∞,
∃ C = C(m, p,Ω) > 0 : ‖E u‖W m,p(Rd ) ≤ C‖u‖W m,p(Ω) ∀ u ∈ C∞(Ω) .

Theorem
Let Ω be a Lipschitz epigraph in Rd , k ∈ N0 and 0 ≤ l ≤ d. Then
there exists an extension operator El satisfing
‖Elω‖Hk (d,Rd ,∧ l (Rd )) ≤ C ‖ω‖Hk (d,Ω,
∧ l (Rd )) ∀ ω ∈ DF l,∞(Ω) ,
with a constant C = C(Ω, d , k , l) > 0. Thus, El can be extended to acontinuous extension operator
El : Hk (d ,Ω,∧l
(Rd)) 7→ Hk (d ,Rd ,∧l
(Rd )) .
