Abstract: This paper is devoted to the study of the subspace of $W^{m,r}$ of functions that vanish on a part $\g_0$ of the boundary. The author gives a crucial estimate of the Poincar\'e constant in balls centered on the boundary of $\g_0$. Then, the convolution-translation method, a variant of the standard mollifier technique, can be used to prove the density of smooth functions that vanish in a neighborhood of $\g_0$, in this subspace. The result is first proved for $m=1$, then generalized to the case where $m\ge 1$, in any dimension, in the framework of Lipschitz-continuous domain. However, as may be expected, it is needed to make additional assumptions on the boundary of $\g_0$, namely that it is locally the graph of some Lipschitz-continuous function.
