Title: Compact Embeddings of Weighted Sobolev Spaces

Abstract: In this talk I will discuss some improvements to recent results concerning the compact em-
bedding of generalized Sobolev classes into weighted Lq spaces. The novelty of the result lay in
the approach. Arguments use Cauchy sequences rather than distributional denitions of Sobolev
classes. As a result, the main theorem applies without requirement of a positive answer to a
Myers-Serrin H = W question.
