Bourgain, Brezis & Mironescu showed that (with suitable scaling) the fractional Sobolev s-seminorm of a function f∈ W1,p(\rn) converges to the Sobolev seminorm of f as s→ 1-. The anisotropic s-seminorms of f defined by a norm on \rn with unit ball K are shown to converge to the anisotropic Sobolev seminorm of f defined by the norm with unit ball \ompd K, the polar Lp moment body of K. The limiting behavior for s→ 0+ is also determined (extending results by Maz'ya & Shaposhnikova).
