Leoni and Spector recently proved the following result, which is an interesting result:

Let $\Omega \subset R^{N}$ be open, let $\rho_{\epsilon}$ satisfy
$\rho_{\epsilon}\geq 0,\quad \int_{R^{N}}\rho_{\epsilon}(x)dx=1$
and
$\lim \limits_{\epsilon \rightarrow 0}\int_{|x|>\delta}\rho_{\epsilon}(x)dx=0,\quad \text{for all } \delta>0.$
What’s more, let
$C_{\delta}(v)=\bigg\{ w \in R^{N}\backslash{0}:\frac{v}{|v|}\frac{w}{|w|}>1-\delta\bigg\},$
then we require that $\rho_\eps$ satisfy
$\lim \inf \limits_{\epsilon \rightarrow 0}\int_{C_{\delta(v_{i})}}\rho_{\epsilon}(x)dx>0 \text{ for all } i=1,…,N.$
Let $1< p< \infty$, and $1\leq q<\infty$, with $1\leq q\leq \frac{N}{N-p}$ if $p< N$, and let f $\in L_{loc}^{1}(\Omega)$. Assume $\lim \limits_{\lambda \rightarrow 0}\lim \sup \limits_{\epsilon \rightarrow 0}\int_{\Omega_{\lambda}}\biggl(\int_{\Omega_{\lambda}}\biggl(\frac{|f(x)-f(y)|^{p}}{|x-y|^{p}}\biggr)^{q}\rho_{\epsilon}(x-y)dy \biggr)^{\frac{1}{q}}dx<\infty$ Then $f \in W_{loc}^{1,p}(\Omega)$ and $\nabla f \in L^{p}(\Omega ;R^{N})$. Moreover, there exist $\epsilon_{j} \rightarrow 0^{+}$ and a probability measure $\mu \in$ M($S^{N-1}$) such that for all $0<\eta <\frac{\lambda}{3}$, \begin{align*} &\lim \limits_{\lambda \rightarrow 0}\lim \sup \limits_{\epsilon \rightarrow 0}\int_{\Omega_{\lambda}^{\eta}}\biggl(\int_{\Omega_{\lambda}^{2\eta}}\biggl(\frac{|f(x)-f(y)|^{p}}{|x-y|^{p}}\biggr)^{q}\rho_{\epsilon}(x-y)dy \biggr)^{\frac{1}{q}}dx\\ &\qquad\qquad\geq \int_{\Omega}\biggl(\int_{S_{N-1}}(|\nabla f(x)\cdot \sigma|^{p})^{q}d\mu(\sigma) \biggr)^{\frac{1}{q}}dx. \end{align*}
