Abstract

In this paper we show a density property for fractional weighted Sobolev spaces. That is, we prove that any function in a fractional weighted Sobolev space can be approximated by a smooth function with compact support.

The additional difficulty in this nonlocal setting is caused by the fact that the weights are not necessarily translation invariant.
