A classical result of late 1980's states that for $p\in (1,\infty)$ and $m \in N$, $u$ belongs to the Sobolev space $W^{m,p}_0(\Omega)$ if and only if $u/d^m\in L^p(\Omega)$ and $\left|\nabla^m u\right|\in L^p(\Omega)$. During the consequent decades, several authors have spent considerable effort in order to relax the characterizing condition. Recently, it was proved that $u\in W^{m,p}_0(\Omega)$ if and only if $u/d^m\in L^1(\Omega)$ and $\left|\nabla^m u\right|\in L^p(\Omega)$. We will present a new, yet more relaxed condition on the function $u/d$, expressed in terms of Lorentz spaces, which together with $\left|\nabla u\right|\in L^p(\Omega)$ still guarantees that $u\in W^{1,p}_0(\Omega)$. Moreover, we will investigate optimality of our condition.  Cockins Hall 240 Department of Mathematics math@osu.edu America/New_York public
