Function spaces of variable smoothness and integrability

In this article we introduce Triebel-Lizorkin spaces with variable smoothness and integrability. Our new scale covers spaces with variable exponent as well as spaces of variable smoothness that have been studied in recent years. Vector-valued maximal inequalities do not work in the generality which we pursue, and an alternate approach is thus developed. Using it we derive molecular and atomic decomposition results and show that our space is well-defined, i.e., independent of the choice of basis functions. As in the classical case, a unified scale of spaces permits clearer results in cases where smoothness and integrability interact, such as Sobolev embedding and trace theorems. As an application of our decomposition we prove optimal trace theorem in the variable indices case.     

Herz type Besov and Triebel-Lizorkin spaces with variable exponent

The Herz type Besov and Triebel-Lizorkin spaces with variable exponent are introduced. Then characterizations of these new spaces by maximal functions are given.     

Relative rearrangement and Lebesgue spaces with variable exponent

We apply the techniques of monotone and relative rearrangements to the nonrearrangement invariant spaces L^p()(Ω) with variable exponent. In particular, we show that the maps uL^p()(Ω)→k(t)u_*L^p_*()(0,measΩ) and uL^p()(Ω)→u_*L^p*()(0,measΩ) are locally -Hölderian (u_* (resp. p^*) is the decreasing (resp. increasing) rearrangement of u (resp. p)). The pointwise relations for the relative rearrangement are applied to derive the Sobolev embedding with eventually discontinuous exponents.     

Compactness in the spaces of variable integrability and summability

We study totally bounded sets in the spaces of variable integrability and summability. The full characterization of these sets is given. Furthermore, the Sudakov theorem in the setting of the mixed Lebesgue sequence spaces is proven.     

Homogeneous variable exponent Besov and Triebel–Lizorkin spaces

We introduce homogeneous Besov and Triebel–Lizorkin spaces with variable indexes. We show that their study reduces to the study of inhomogeneous variable exponent spaces and homogeneous constant exponent spaces. Corollaries include trace space characterizations and Sobolev embeddings.     

Approximation and entropy numbers in Besov spaces of generalized smoothness

We determine the exact asymptotic behaviour of entropy and approximation numbers of the limiting restriction operator , defined by J(f)=f|_Ω. Here Ω is a non-empty bounded domain in , ψ is an increasing slowly varying function, , and is the Besov space of generalized smoothness given by the function t^sψ(t). Our results improve and extend those established by Leopold [Embeddings and entropy numbers in Besov spaces of generalized smoothness, in: Function Spaces, Lecture Notes in Pure and Applied Mathematics, vol. 213, Marcel Dekker, New York, 2000, pp. 323–336].     

Characterizations of Morrey type Besov and Triebel-Lizorkin spaces with variable exponents

In this paper, Morrey type Besov and Triebel-Lizorkin spaces with variable exponents are introduced. Then equivalent quasi-norms of these new spaces in terms of Peetre?s maximal functions are obtained. Finally, applying those equivalent quasi-norms, the authors obtain the atomic, molecular and wavelet decompositions of these new spaces.     

Higher integrability for nonlinear elliptic equations with variable growth and discontinuous coefficients

In this paper, based on the theory of variable exponent spaces, we study the higher integrability for a class of nonlinear elliptic equations with variable growth and discontinuous coefficients. Under suitable assumptions, we obtain a local gradient estimate in Orlicz space for weak solution.     

Some equivalent definitions of Besov spaces of generalized smoothness

In this paper, we present some alternative definitions of Besov spaces of generalized smoothness, defined via Littlewood–Paley‐type decomposition, involving weak derivatives, polynomials, convolutions and generalized interpolation spaces.     

Approximate identities in variable L p spaces

We give conditions for the convergence of approximate identities, both pointwise and in norm, in variable L ^p spaces. We unify and extend results due to Diening [8], Samko [18] and Sharapudinov [19]. As applications, we give criteria for smooth functions to be dense in the variable Sobolev spaces, and we give solutions of the Laplace equation and the heat equation with boundary values in the variable L ^p spaces.

Existence of solutions of the parabolic variational inequality with variable exponent of nonlinearity

In this article, new properties of variable exponent Lebesgue and Sobolev spaces are examined. Using these properties we prove the existence of the solution of some parabolic variational inequality.     

Atomic decomposition of Besov spaces with variable smoothness and integrability

The aim of this paper is twofold. First we characterize the Besov spaces with variable smoothness and integrability by so-called Peetre maximal functions. Secondly we use these results to prove the atomic decomposition for these spaces.     

Embedding theorems of Besov and Triebel-Lizorkin spaces on spaces of homogeneous type

In this paper, the author establishes the embedding theorems for different metrics of inhomoge-neous Besov and Triebel-Lizorkin spaces on spaces of homogeneous type. As an application, the author obtains some estimates for the entropy numbers of the embeddings in the limiting cases between some Besov spaces and some logarithmic Lebesgue spaces.     

Generalized Besov spaces and Triebel-Lizorkin spaces

In this paper the classical Besov spaces Bsp.q and Triebel-Lizorkin spaces Fsp.q for s ∈R are generalized in an isotropy way with the smoothness weights {|2j|aln}∞j=0. These generalized Besov spaces and Triebel-Lizorkin spaces, denoted by Bap.q and Fap.q for a ∈Irk and k ∈N, respectively, keep many interesting properties, such as embedding theorems (with scales property for all smoothness weights), lifting properties for all parameters a, and duality for index 0 < p < ∞. By constructing an example, it is shown that there are infinitely many generalized Besov spaces and generalized Triebel-Lizorkin spaces lying between Bs,p.q and ∪tsBt,p.q,and between Fsp.q and ∪ts Ftp.q, respectively. Between Bs,p,q and ∪tsBt,p.qq,and between Fsp,qand ∪tsFtp.q,respectively.

Maximal operator on variable Lebesgue spaces for almost monotone radial exponent

We study general Lebesgue spaces with variable exponent p. It is known that the classes L and N of functions p are such that the Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator is bounded on them provided p∈L∩P. The class L governs local properties of p and N governs the behavior of p at infinity.In this paper we focus on the properties of p near infinity. We extend the class N to a collection D of functions p such that the Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator is bounded on the corresponding variable Lebesgue spaces provided p∈L∩D and the class D is essentially larger than N.Moreover, the condition p∈D is quite easily verifiable in the practice.     

Sobolev spaces with variable exponents on Riemannian manifolds

In this article we study variable exponent Sobolev spaces on Riemannian manifolds. The spaces are examined in the case of compact manifolds. Continuous and compact embeddings are discussed. The paper contains an example of the application of the theory to elliptic equations on compact manifolds.     

Sharp embeddings of Besov spaces involving only logarithmic smoothness

We use Kolyada's inequality and its converse form to prove sharp embeddings of Besov spaces (involving the zero classical smoothness and a logarithmic smoothness with the exponent β) into Lorentz–Zygmund spaces. We also determine growth envelopes of spaces . In distinction to the case when the classical smoothness is positive, we show that we cannot describe all embeddings in question in terms of growth envelopes.     

Interpolation theorems for variable exponent Lebesgue spaces

When Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator is bounded on Lp(⋅)(Rn) space we prove θ[Lp(⋅)(Rn),BMO(Rn)]=Lq(⋅)(Rn) where q(⋅)=p(⋅)/(1−θ) and θ[Lp(⋅)(Rn),H¹(Rn)]=Lq(⋅)(Rn) where 1/q(⋅)=θ+(1−θ)/p(⋅).
