Problem

Denote by UU the open square {x∈R2∣∣x1∣<1,∣x2∣<1}\{x \in \mathbb{R}^2 \mid |x_1| < 1, |x_2| < 1\}. Define u(x)={1−x1if x1>0, ∣x2∣<x11+x1if x1<0, ∣x2∣<−x11−x2if x2>0, ∣x1∣<x21+x2if x2<0, ∣x1∣<−x2.u(x) = \begin{cases} 1 - x_1 & \text{if } x_1 > 0, \ |x_2| < x_1 \\ 1 + x_1 & \text{if } x_1 < 0, \ |x_2| < -x_1 \\ 1 - x_2 & \text{if } x_2 > 0, \ |x_1| < x_2 \\ 1 + x_2 & \text{if } x_2 < 0, \ |x_1| < -x_2. \end{cases} For which 1≤p≤∞1 \leq p \leq \infty does uu belong to W1,p(U)W^{1,p}(U)?
