We find extremely general classes of nonsmooth open sets which guarantee Mosco convergence for corresponding Sobolev spaces and the validity of Sobolev inequalities with a uniform constant. An important feature of our results is that the conditions we impose on the open sets for Mosco convergence and for the Sobolev inequalities are of the same nature, therefore it is easy to check when both are satisfied. Our analysis is motivated, in particular, by the study of the stability of the direct acoustic scattering problem with respect to the scatterer, which we also discuss. Concerning Mosco convergence in dimension 3 or higher, our result extends all those previously known in the literature. Concerning Sobolev inequalities, our approach seems to be new and considerably simplifies the conditions previously required for the stability of acoustic direct scattering problems.

Abstract
We find extremely general classes of nonsmooth open sets which guarantee Mosco convergence for corresponding Sobolev spaces and the validity of Sobolev inequalities with a uniform constant. An important feature of our results is that the conditions we impose on the open sets for Mosco convergence and for the Sobolev inequalities are of the same nature, therefore it is easy to check when both are satisfied. Our analysis is motivated, in particular, by the study of the stability of the direct acoustic scattering problem with respect to the scatterer, which we also discuss. Concerning Mosco convergence in dimension 3 or higher, our result extends all those previously known in the literature. Concerning Sobolev inequalities, our approach seems to be new and considerably simplifies the conditions previously required for the stability of acoustic direct scattering problems.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
