In this paper, we study the relationship between Sobolev extension domains and homogeneous Sobolev extension domains. Precisely, we obtain the following results, Let \(1\leq q\leq p\leq \infty\) . Then a bounded \((L^{1, p}, L^{1, q})\) -extension domain is also a \((W^{1, p}, W^{1, q})\) -extension domain.
Let \(1\leq q\leq p<q ^{\star} \leq \infty\) or \(n< q \leq p\leq \infty\) . Then a bounded domain is a \((W^{1, p}, W^{1, q})\) -extension domain if and only if it is an \((L^{1, p}, L^{1, q})\) -extension domain.
For \(1\leq q<n\) and \(q<nq ^{\star} <p\leq \infty\) , there exists a bounded domain \(\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^n\) which is a \((W^{1, p}, W^{1, q})\) -extension domain but not an \((L^{1, p}, L^{1, q})\) -extension domain for \(1 \leq q <p\leq n\) .
