Sobolev spaces of vector-valued functions

We are concerned here with Sobolev-type spaces of vector-valued functions. For an open subset Ω⊂RN\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\Omega \subset {\mathbb {R}}^N$$\end{document} and a Banach space V, we compare the classical Sobolev space W1,p(Ω,V)\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$W^{1,p}(\Omega , V)$$\end{document} with the so-called Sobolev–Reshetnyak space R1,p(Ω,V)\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$R^{1,p}(\Omega , V)$$\end{document}. We see that, in general, W1,p(Ω,V)\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$W^{1,p}(\Omega , V)$$\end{document} is a closed subspace of R1,p(Ω,V)\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$R^{1,p}(\Omega , V)$$\end{document}. As a main result, we obtain that W1,p(Ω,V)=R1,p(Ω,V)\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$W^{1,p}(\Omega , V)=R^{1,p}(\Omega , V)$$\end{document} if, and only if, the Banach space V has the Radon–Nikodým property
