Criteria of weighted inequalities in Orlicz classes for maximal functions defined on homogeneous type spaces

The necessary and sufficient conditions are derived in order that a strong type weighted inequality be fulfilled in Orlicz classes for scalar and vector-valued maximal functions defined on homogeneous type spaces. A weak type problem with weights is solved for vector-valued maximal functions.     

Characterization of Triebel–Lizorkin type spaces with variable exponents via maximal functions,local means and non‐smooth atomic decompositions

In this paper we study the maximal function and local means characterizations and the non‐smooth atomic decomposition of the Triebel–Lizorkin type spaces with variable exponents . These spaces were recently introduced by Yang et al. and cover the Triebel–Lizorkin spaces with variable exponents as well as the classical Triebel–Lizorkin spaces , even the case when . Moreover, covered by this scale are also the Triebel–Lizorkin‐type spaces with constant exponents which, in turn cover the Triebel–Lizorkin–Morrey spaces. As an application we obtain a pointwise multiplier assertion for those spaces.     

Refined limiting imbeddings for Sobolev spaces of vector-valued functions

We prove a refined limiting imbedding theorem of the Brézis-Wainger type in the first critical case, i.e. , for Sobolev spaces and Bessel potential spaces of functions with values in a general Banach space E. In particular, the space E may lack the UMD property.     

Traces of functions in Hardy and Besov spaces on Lipschitz domains with applications to compensated compactness and the theory of Hardy and Bergman type spaces

In this paper we study conditions guaranteeing that functions defined on a Lipschitz domain Ω have boundary traces in Hardy and Besov spaces on ∂Ω. In turn these results are used to develop a new approach to the theory of compensated compactness and the theory of non-locally convex Hardy and Bergman type spaces.     

Weighted reverse weak type inequality for general maximal functions

Necessary and sufficient conditions are found to be imposed on a pair of weights, for which a weak type two-weighted reverse inequality holds, in the case of general maximal functions defined in homogenous type spaces.

Regularity of fractional maximal functions through Fourier multipliers

We prove endpoint bounds for derivatives of fractional maximal functions with either smooth convolution kernel or lacunary set of radii in dimensions $n\ge 2$. We also show that the spherical fractional maximal function maps $L^p$ into a first order Sobolev space in dimensions $n\ge 5$.

Necessary and sufficient conditions for the boundedness of fractional maximal operators in local Morrey-type spaces

The problem of the boundedness of the fractional maximal operator _Mα$M_{\alpha }$, 0<α<n$0<\alpha <n$, in local and global Morrey-type spaces is reduced to the problem of the boundedness of the Hardy operator in weighted _Lp$L_p$-spaces on the cone of non-negative non-increasing functions. This allows obtaining sharp sufficient conditions for the boundedness for all admissible values of the parameters. Moreover, in case of local Morrey-type spaces, for some values of the parameters, these sufficient conditions coincide with the necessary ones.     

Wavelets on fractals and besov spaces

Wavelets on self-similar fractals are introduced. It is shown that for certain totally disconnected fractals, function spaces may be characterized by means of the magnitude of the wavelet coefficients of the functions.     

Weighted L<Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Superscript>-inequalities for multi-parameter Riesz type potentials and strong fractional maximal operators

We prove weighted L ^p -inequalities for multi-parameter Riesz type potentials, strong fractional maximal operators and their dyadic counterparts. Our proofs avoid the Good-λ inequalities used earlier in the R ^m -case and are based on our integrated multi-parameter summation by parts lemma, that might be of independent interest.     

Maximal function on Musielak-Orlicz spaces and generalized Lebesgue spaces

We consider the Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator M on Musielak-Orlicz Spaces Lφ(Rd). We give a necessary condition for the continuity of M on Lφ(Rd) which generalizes the concept of Muckenhoupt classes. In the special case of generalized Lebesgue spaces Lp(⋅)(Rd) we show that this condition is also sufficient. Moreover, we show that the condition is “left-open” in the sense that not only M but also Mq is continuous for some q>1, where .     

Conductor and capacitary inequalities for functions on topological spaces and their applications to Sobolev-type imbeddings

In 1972 the author proved the so-called conductor and capacitary inequalities for the Dirichlet-type integrals of a function on a Euclidean domain. Both were used to derive necessary and sufficient conditions for Sobolev-type inequalities involving arbitrary domains and measures.The present article contains new conductor inequalities for nonnegative functionals acting on functions defined on topological spaces. Sharp capacitary inequalities, stronger than the classical Sobolev inequality, with the best constant and the sharp form of the Yudovich inequality (Soviet Math. Dokl. 2 (1961) 746) due to Moser (Indiana Math. J. 20 (1971) 1077) are found.     

Extrapolation with weights, rearrangement-invariant function spaces, modular inequalities and applications to singular integrals

We present an extrapolation theory that allows us to obtain, from weighted L^p inequalities on pairs of functions for p fixed and all A_∞ weights, estimates for the same pairs on very general rearrangement invariant quasi-Banach function spaces with A_∞ weights and also modular inequalities with A_∞ weights. Vector-valued inequalities are obtained automatically, without the need of a Banach-valued theory. This provides a method to prove very fine estimates for a variety of operators which include singular and fractional integrals and their commutators. In particular, we obtain weighted, and vector-valued, extensions of the classical theorems of Boyd and Lorentz-Shimogaki. The key is to develop appropriate versions of Rubio de Francia's algorithm.     

Atomic and molecular decompositions of anisotropic Besov spaces

In this work we develop the theory of weighted anisotropic Besov spaces associated with general expansive matrix dilations and doubling measures with the use of discrete wavelet transforms. This study extends the isotropic Littlewood- Paley methods of dyadic -transforms of Frazier and Jawerth [19, 21] to non-isotropic settings.Several results of isotropic theory of Besov spaces are recovered for weighted anisotropic Besov spaces. We show that these spaces are characterized by the magnitude of the -transforms in appropriate sequence spaces. We also prove boundedness of an anisotropic analogue of the class of almost diagonal operators and we obtain atomic and molecular decompositions of weighted anisotropic Besov spaces, thus extending isotropic results of Frazier and Jawerth [21].The author was partially supported by the NSF grant DMS-0441817.     

Characterizations of the boundedness of generalized fractional maximal functions and related operators in Orlicz spaces

Given and a Young function η, we consider the generalized fractional maximal operator defined by where the supremum is taken over every ball B contained in . In this article, we give necessary and sufficient Dini type conditions on the functions , and η such that is bounded from the Orlicz space into the Orlicz space . We also present a version of this result for open subsets of with finite measure. Both results generalize those contained in 6 and 14 when , respectively. As a consequence, we obtain a characterization of the functions involved in the boundedness of the higher order commutators of the fractional integral operator with BMO symbols. Moreover, we give sufficient conditions that guarantee the continuity in Orlicz spaces of a large class of fractional integral operators of convolution type with less regular kernels and their commutators, which are controlled by .     

Isometries of some Banach spaces of analytic functions

We characterize the surjective isometries of a class of analytic functions on the disk which include the Analytic Besov spaceB _p and the Dirichlet spaceD ^p . In the case ofB _p we are able to determine the form of all linear isometries on this space. The isometries for these spaces are finite rank perturbations of integral operators. This is in contrast with the classical results for the Hardy and Bergman spaces where the isometries are represented as weighted compositions induced by inner functions or automorphisms of the disk.
