Abstract

In this paper we give a finer analysis of fractional variable exponents Sobolev spaces. We use the relative capacity to characterize completely the zero trace fractional variable exponents Sobolev spaces. We also give a relative capacity criterium for removable sets. As an application we study the Dirichlet problem for the regional fractional p(.)-Laplacian.
