Define a continuously differentiable function to be a function f:Rn→R which has a continuous derivative. Define a weakly differentiable function to be a function f:Rn→R which is locally integrable and there exists n locally integrable functions g1,…,gn which satisfy the integration by parts formula, ∫Rpf(x)∂φ∂xj(x)dx=−∫Rpgj(x)φ(x)dx,
for all j∈{1,…,n} and for any function φ that is any infinitely differentiable function with compact support.
I've come across the claim that "if a function f is continuously differentiable, then it is weakly differentiable." How can that be true? Continuously differentiable functions needn't be locally integrable it seems.
