%0 Journal Article %T A Compact trace theorem for domains with external cusps %A Zuppa %A Carlos %J Revista de la Uni£¿3n Matem£¿£¿tica Argentina %D 2009 %I Uni¨®n Matem¨¢tica Argentina %X this paper deals with the compact trace theorem in domains with external cusps. we show that if the power sharpness of the cusp is bellow a critical exponent, then the trace operator exists and it is compact. %K cuspidal domains %K compact trace operator. %U http://www.scielo.org.ar/scielo.php?script=sci_abstract&pid=S0041-69322009000100003&lng=en&nrm=iso&tlng=en
