Prediction in Orlicz spaces

In this paper, we investigate the prediction (or best approximation) operator from a uniformly convex real Orlicz space to a subset of -lattice measurable functions. In particular, a counterexample to the monotoncity property, which holds in L_p spaces, is given. Also, a sufficient condition for monotonicity to hold is given. Finally, nested -lattices, as occur in isotonic regression, are considered.This author supported by a grant from the Indiana University-Purdue University at Fort Wayne Research and Instructional Development Support Program     

Hardy inequalities in Orlicz spaces

We establish a sharp extension, in the framework of Orlicz spaces, of the (-dimensional) Hardy inequality, involving functions defined on a domain , their gradients and the distance function from the boundary of .

     

Analytic norms in Orlicz spaces

It is shown that an Orlicz sequence space admits an equivalent analytic renorming if and only if it is either isomorphic to or isomorphically polyhedral. As a consequence, we show that there exists a separable Banach space admitting an equivalent -Fréchet norm, but no equivalent analytic norm.

     

Lattice-universal Orlicz spaces on probability spaces

Lattice-universal Orlicz function spacesL ^F _α,β[0, 1] with prefixed Boyd indices are constructed. Namely, given 0<α<β<∞ arbitrary there exists Orlicz function spacesL ^F _α,β[0, 1] with indices α and β such that every Orlicz function spaceL ^G [0, 1] with indices between α and β is lattice-isomorphic to a sublattice ofL ^F _α,β[0, 1]. The existence of classes of universal Orlicz spacesl ^Fα,β(I) with uncountable symmetric basis and prefixed indices α and β is also proved in the uncountable discrete case.

Approximation in weighted Orlicz spaces

We prove some direct and converse theorems of trigonometric approximation in weighted Orlicz spaces with weights satisfying so called Muckenhoupt’s A _p condition.     

Onl p-complemented copies in Orlicz spaces

Let 1<α≦β<∞ andF be an arbitrary closed subset of the interval [α,β]. An Orlicz sequence spacel ^φ (resp. an Orlicz function spaceL ^φ(μ)) with associated indices α and β is found in such a way that the set of valuesp for which thel ^p-space is isomorphic to a complemented subspace ofl ^φ (resp.L ^φ(μ)) is precisely the given setF (resp.F ∪ {2}). Also, a recent result of Hernández and Peirats [1] is extended showing that, even for the case in which the indices satisfy α_φ ^∞<2<β_φ ^∞, there exist minimal Orlicz function spacesL ^φ(μ) with no complemented copy ofl ^p for anyp ≠ 2.

On approximation in Weighted Orlicz spaces

An inverse theorem of the trigonometric approximation theory in Weighted Orlicz spaces is proved and the constructive characterization of the generalized Lipschitz classes defined in these spaces is obtained.     

On non-effective weights in Orlicz spaces

Given a weight w in Ω ⊂ ∝^N, |Ω| < ∞ and a Young function φ, we consider the weighted modular ∫_Ω ω(f(x))w(x)dx and the resulting weighted Orlicz space L_ω(w). For a Young function Ω ∉ Δ₂(∞) we present a necessary and sufficient conditions in order that L_ω(w) = L_ω(X_Ω) up to the equivalence of norms. We find a necessary and sufficient condition for ω in order that there exists an unbounded weight w such that the above equality of spaces holds. By way of applications we simplify criteria from [5] for continuity of the composition operator from L_ω into itself when ω Δ₂(∞) and obtain necessary and sufficient condition in order that the composition operator maps L_ω. continuously onto L_ω.     

Trigonometric approximation in reflexive Orlicz spaces

The Lipschitz classes Lip(α, M) , 0 α≤ 1 are defined for Orlicz space generated by the Young function M, and the degree of approximation by matrix transforms of f ∈ Lip (α, M) is estimated by n-α .     

On maximal functions in Orlicz spaces

Let and be the functions having the representations and , where is a positive continuous function such that and is quasi-increasing. Then the maximal function is a function in Orlicz space for all if and only if there exists a positive constant such that for all .

     

Korn type inequalities in Orlicz spaces

We exhibit balance conditions between a Young function A and a Young function B   for a Korn type inequality to hold between the L^B$L^B$ norm of the gradient of vector-valued functions and the L^A$L^A$ norm of its symmetric part. In particular, we extend a standard form of the Korn inequality in L^p$L^p$, with 1<p<∞$1<p<\infty$, and an Orlicz version involving a Young function A   satisfying both the _Δ2${\mathrm{\Delta }}_2$ and the _∇2${\mathrm{\nabla }}_2$ condition.
