Optimal Embeddings of Spaces of Generalized Smoothness in the Critical Case

We study necessary and sufficient conditions for embeddings of Besov and Triebel-Lizorkin spaces of generalized smoothness B^(n/p,Y)_p,q(\mathbbRⁿ)B^{(n/p,\Psi)}_{p,q}(\mathbb{R}^{n}) and F^(n/p,Y)_p,q(\mathbbRⁿ)F^{(n/p,\Psi)}_{p,q}(\mathbb{R}^{n}), respectively, into generalized H?lder spaces L_￥,r^m(·)( \mathbb Rⁿ)\Lambda_{\infty,r}^{\mu(\cdot)}(\ensuremath {\ensuremath {\mathbb {R}}^{n}}). In particular, we are able to characterize optimal embeddings for this class of spaces provided q>1. These results improve the embedding assertions given by the continuity envelopes of B^(n/p,Y)_p,q(\mathbbRⁿ)B^{(n/p,\Psi)}_{p,q}(\mathbb{R}^{n}) and F^(n/p,Y)_p,q(\mathbbRⁿ)F^{(n/p,\Psi)}_{p,q}(\mathbb{R}^{n}), which were obtained recently solving an open problem of D.D. Haroske in the classical setting.
