Abstract
An embedding theorem for the Orlicz-Sobolev space $W^{1,A}_{0}(G)$, $G\subset \mathbb{R}^n$, into a space of Orlicz-Lorentz type is established for any given Young function $A$. Such a space is shown to be the best possible among all rearrangement invariant spaces. A version of the theorem for anisotropic spaces is also exhibited. In particular, our results recover and provide a unified framework for various well-known Sobolev type embeddings, including the classical inequalities for the standard Sobolev space $W^{1,p}_{0}(G)$ by O'Neil and by Peetre ($1\leq p< n$), and by Brezis-Wainger and by Hansson ($p=n$).
