Uniform Cone Condition

Uniform Cone Condition

Definition1

If there exists a locally finite open cover {Uj}\left\{ U_{j} \right\} of the boundary of Ω\Omega and a corresponding sequence of finite cones {Cj}\left\{ C_{j} \right\} that satisfy (i)\text{(i)} ~ (iv)\text{(iv)}, then the open set ΩRn\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n is said to satisfy the uniform cone condition.

(i)\text{(i)} There exists M<M \lt \infty such that every UjU_{j} has a diameter smaller than MM.

(ii)\text{(ii)} For some δ>0\delta \gt 0 Ω<δ\Omega_{\lt \delta}j=1Uj\subset \bigcup \nolimits_{j=1} ^\infty U_{j}

(iii)\text{(iii)} For every jj, Qj:=xΩUj(x+Cj)ΩQ_{j}:=\bigcup \nolimits_{x\in \Omega\cap U_{j}}(x+C_{j}) \subset \Omega

(iv)\text{(iv)} There exists some positive number RR, for which every collection of R+1R+1 of the sets QjQ_{j} has an empty intersection.
