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.     

Weak- and strong-type inequality for the cone-like maximal operator in variable Lebesgue spaces

The classical Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator is bounded not only on the classical Lebesgue spaces L_p(R^d) (in the case p > 1), but (in the case when 1/p(·) is log-Hölder continuous and p- = inf{p(x): x ∈ R^d > 1) on the variable Lebesgue spaces L_p(·)(R^d), too. Furthermore, the classical Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator is of weak-type (1, 1). In the present note we generalize Besicovitch’s covering theorem for the so-called γ-rectangles. We introduce a general maximal operator M_s^γδ, and with the help of generalized Φ-functions, the strong- and weak-type inequalities will be proved for this maximal operator. Namely, if the exponent function 1/p(·) is log-Hölder continuous and p- ≥ s, where 1 ≤ s ≤ ∞ is arbitrary (or p- ≥ s), then the maximal operator M_s^γδ is bounded on the space L_p(·)(R^d) (or the maximal operator is of weak-type (p(·), p(·))).     

Inversion of the Bessel potential operator in weighted variable Lebesgue spaces

We study the inversion problem of the Bessel potential operator within the frameworks of the weighted Lebesgue spaces with variable exponent. The inverse operator is constructed by using approximative inverse operators. This generalizes some classical results to the variable exponent setting.     

The boundedness of certain sublinear operator in the weighted variable Lebesgue spaces

The main purpose of this paper is to prove the boundedness of the multidimensional Hardy type operator in weighted Lebesgue spaces with a variable exponent. As an application we prove the boundedness of certain sublinear operators on the weighted variable Lebesgue space.     

Greedy bases in variable Lebesgue spaces

We compute the right and left democracy functions of admissible wavelet bases in variable Lebesgue spaces defined on \(\mathbb R^n\). As an application we give Lebesgue type inequalities for these wavelet bases. We also show that our techniques can be easily modified to prove analogous results for weighted variable Lebesgue spaces and variable exponent Triebel–Lizorkin spaces.     

Ergodic theorem in variable Lebesgue spaces

We prove an Ergodic Theorem in variable exponent Lebesgue spaces, whenever the exponent is invariant under the transformation. Moreover, a counterexample is provided which shows that the norm convergence fails to hold for an arbitrary exponent.     

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(⋅).     

On the interpolation constants for variable Lebesgue spaces

For $\theta \in (0,1)$ and variable exponents $p_0(·),q_0(·)$ and $p_1(·),q_1(·)$ with values in [1, ∞], let the variable exponents $p_{\theta }(·),q_{\theta }(·)$ be defined by $$1/p_{\theta }(·):=(1-\theta )/p_0(·)+\theta /p_1(·),1/q_{\theta }(·):=(1-\theta )/q_0(·)+\theta /q_1(·).$$ The Riesz–Thorin–type interpolation theorem for variable Lebesgue spaces says that if a linear operator T acts boundedly from the variable Lebesgue space $L^{p_j(·)}$ to the variable Lebesgue space $L^{q_j(·)}$ for $j=0,1$, then $${\parallel T\parallel }_{L^{p_{\theta }(·)}\to L^{q_{\theta }(·)}}\le {C\parallel T\parallel }_{L^{p_0(·)}\to L^{q_0(·)}}^{1-\theta }{\parallel T\parallel }_{L^{p_1(·)}\to L^{q_1(·)}}^{\theta },$$ where C is an interpolation constant independent of T. We consider two different modulars ${\varrho }^{\max }(·)$ and ${\varrho }^{\mathrm{sum}}(·)$ generating variable Lebesgue spaces and give upper estimates for the corresponding interpolation constants C_max and C_sum, which imply that $C_{\max }\le 2$ and $C_{\mathrm{sum}}\le 4$, as well as, lead to sufficient conditions for $C_{\max }=1$ and $C_{\mathrm{sum}}=1$. We also construct an example showing that, in many cases, our upper estimates are sharp and the interpolation constant is greater than one, even if one requires that $p_j(·)=q_j(·)$, $j=0,1$ are Lipschitz continuous and bounded away from one and infinity (in this case, ${\varrho }^{\max }(·)={\varrho }^{\mathrm{sum}}(·)$).

Generalized potentials in variable exponent Lebesgue spaces on homogeneous spaces

We consider generalized potential operators with the kernel on bounded quasimetric measure space (X, μ, d) with doubling measure μ satisfying the upper growth condition μB(x, r) ? Kr^N, N ∈ (0, ∞). Under some natural assumptions on a(r) in terms of almost monotonicity we prove that such potential operators are bounded from the variable exponent Lebesgue space L^p(?)(X, μ) into a certain Musielak‐Orlicz space L^p(X, μ) with the N‐function Φ(x, r) defined by the exponent p(x) and the function a(r). A reformulation of the obtained result in terms of the Matuszewska‐Orlicz indices of the function a(r) is also given. © 2011 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim     

Estimates for k-Hessian operator and some applications

The k-convex functions are the viscosity subsolutions to the fully nonlinear elliptic equations F _k [u] = 0, where F _k [u] is the elementary symmetric function of order k, 1 ? ? 6 n, of the eigenvalues of the Hessian matrix D ² u. For example, F ₁[u] is the Laplacian Δu and F _n [u] is the real Monge-Ampère operator detD ² u, while 1-convex functions and n-convex functions are subharmonic and convex in the classical sense, respectively. In this paper, we establish an approximation theorem for negative k-convex functions, and give several estimates for the mixed k-Hessian operator. Applications of these estimates to the k-Green functions are also established.     

Estimates for functions of the Laplace operator on homogeneous trees

In this paper, we study the heat equation on a homogeneous graph, relative to the natural (nearest-neighbour) Laplacian. We find pointwise estimates for the heat and resolvent kernels, and the mapping properties of the corresponding operators.

     

Riesz-Kolmogorov theorem in variable exponent Lebesgue spaces and its applications to Riemann-Liouville fractional differential equations

In this paper, we obtain the necessary and sufficient condition of the pre-compact sets in the variable exponent Lebesgue spaces, which is also called the Riesz-Kolmogorov theorem. The main novelty appearing in this approach is the constructive approximation which does not rely on the boundedness of the Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator in the considered spaces such that we do not need the log-H¨older continuous conditions on the variable exponent. As applications, we establish the boundedness of Riemann-Liouville integral operators and prove the compactness of truncated Riemann-Liouville integral operators in the variable exponent Lebesgue spaces. Moreover, applying the Riesz-Kolmogorov theorem established in this paper, we obtain the existence and the uniqueness of solutions to a Cauchy type problem for fractional differential equations in variable exponent Lebesgue spaces.     

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.     

Iterated maximal functions in variable exponent Lebesgue spaces

In this paper we study the iterated Hardy?CLittlewood maximal operator in variable exponent Lebesgue spaces with exponent allowed to reach the value 1. We use modulars where the L ^p(·)-modular is perturbed by a logarithmic-type function, and the results hold also in the more general context of such Musielak?COrlicz spaces.     

Applications of the purely imaginary powers of operators in Hilbert spaces

In C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris299 (1984), 173–176, we discussed purely imaginary powers A^iy(−∞ < y < + ∞) of linear operators A in Hilbert spaces. Here we utilize the results to consider the various problems: generation of cosine families in Hilbert spaces, coincidence of the definition domains of the fractional powers of operators, differentiability of the functions of the form A(·)⁰ (0 < θ < 1) where A(·) is an operator valued function defined on an interval [0, T], and so forth.     

Boundedness of imaginary powers of the stokes operator in an infinite layer

In this article we prove the existence of bounded purely imaginary powers of the Stokes operator , which is defined on the space of solenoidal vector fields < q < , where is an infinite layer. It is a consequence of a special representation of the resolvent of the Stokes operator in terms of the Stokes operator on , a composition of a trace and a Poisson operator – a singular Green operator – and a negligible part.

We first formulate the problem about the boundedness of the k‐plane Nikodym maximal and show that the maximal estimate in is equivalent to that in for . So, the optimal Nikodym maximal estimate in follows from Cordoba's estimate.
