We introduce Sobolev spaces for 1 < p < ∞ and small positive α on spaces of homogeneous type as the classes of functions f in with fractional derivative of order α, , as introduced in [2], in . We show that for small α, coincides with the continuous version of the Triebel-Lizorkin space as defined by Y. S. Han and E. T. Sawyer in [4]. To prove this result we give a more general definition of ε-families of operators on spaces of homogeneous type, in which the identity operator is replaced by an invertible operator. Then we show that the family is an ε-family of operators in this new sense, where , and s(x,y,t) is a Coifman type approximation to the identity.
