A Sharp Weak-Type $$(\infty ,\infty )$$ Inequality for the Hilbert Transform

The paper is devoted to sharp weak type \((\infty ,\infty )\) estimates for \({\mathcal {H}}^{\mathbb {T}}\) and \({\mathcal {H}}^{\mathbb {R}}\), the Hilbert transforms on the circle and real line, respectively. Specifically, it is proved that

$$\begin{aligned} \left\| {\mathcal {H}}^{\mathbb {T}}f\right\| _{W({\mathbb {T}})}\le \Vert f\Vert _{L^\infty ({\mathbb {T}})} \end{aligned}$$

and

$$\begin{aligned} \left\| {\mathcal {H}}^{\mathbb {R}}f\right\| _{W({\mathbb {R}})}\le \Vert f\Vert _{L^\infty ({\mathbb {R}})}, \end{aligned}$$

where \(W({\mathbb {T}})\) and \(W({\mathbb {R}})\) stand for the weak-\(L^\infty \) spaces introduced by Bennett, DeVore and Sharpley. In both estimates, the constant \(1\) on the right is shown to be the best possible.

     

Regularity for Inhomogeneous Dirichlet Problems of Some Schrödinger Equations on Domains

Let \(n\ge 3, \Omega \) be a bounded, simply connected and semiconvex domain in \({\mathbb {R}}^n\) and \(L_{\Omega }:=-\Delta +V\) a Schrödinger operator on \(L^2 (\Omega )\) with the Dirichlet boundary condition, where \(\Delta \) denotes the Laplace operator and the potential \(0\le V\) belongs to the reverse Hölder class \(RH_{q_0}({\mathbb {R}}^n)\) for some \(q_0\in (\max \{n/2,2\},\infty ]\). Assume that the growth function \(\varphi :\,{\mathbb {R}}^n\times [0,\infty ) \rightarrow [0,\infty )\) satisfies that \(\varphi (x,\cdot )\) is an Orlicz function and \(\varphi (\cdot ,t)\in {\mathbb {A}}_{\infty }({\mathbb {R}}^n)\) (the class of uniformly Muckenhoupt weights). Let \(H_{\varphi ,\,L_{{\mathbb {R}}^n},\,r}(\Omega )\) be the Musielak–Orlicz–Hardy space whose elements are restrictions of elements of the Musielak–Orlicz–Hardy space, associated with \(L_{{\mathbb {R}}^n}:=-\Delta +V\) on \({\mathbb {R}}^n\), to \(\Omega \). In this article, the authors show that the operators \(VL^{-1}_\Omega \) and \(\nabla ^2L^{-1}_\Omega \) are bounded from \(L^1(\Omega )\) to weak-\(L^1(\Omega )\), from \(L^p(\Omega )\) to itself, with \(p\in (1,2]\), and also from \(H_{\varphi ,\,L_{{\mathbb {R}}^n},\,r}(\Omega )\) to the Musielak–Orlicz space \(L^\varphi (\Omega )\) or to \(H_{\varphi ,\,L_{{\mathbb {R}}^n},\,r}(\Omega )\) itself. As applications, the boundedness of \(\nabla ^2{\mathbb {G}}_D\) on \(L^p(\Omega )\), with \(p\in (1,2]\), and from \(H_{\varphi ,\,L_{{\mathbb {R}}^n},\,r}(\Omega )\) to \(L^\varphi (\Omega )\) or to \(H_{\varphi ,\,L_{{\mathbb {R}}^n},\,r}(\Omega )\) itself is obtained, where \({\mathbb {G}}_D\) denotes the Dirichlet Green operator associated with \(L_\Omega \). All these results are new even for the Hardy space \(H^1_{L_{{\mathbb {R}}^n},\,r}(\Omega )\), which is just \(H_{\varphi ,\,L_{{\mathbb {R}}^n},\,r}(\Omega )\) with \(\varphi (x,t):=t\) for all \(x\in {\mathbb {R}}^n\) and \(t\in [0,\infty )\).     

Gradient Estimates for Commutators of Square Roots of Elliptic Operators with Complex Bounded Measurable Coefficients

Let \(L=-\mathrm{div}(A\nabla )\) be a second order divergence form elliptic operator and A an accretive \(n\times n\) matrix with bounded measurable complex coefficients in \({\mathbb R}^n\). Let \(\nabla b\in L^n({\mathbb R}^n)\,(n>2)\). In this paper, we prove that the commutator generated by b and the square root of L, which is defined by \([b,\sqrt{L}]f(x)=b(x)\sqrt{L}f(x)-\sqrt{L}(bf)(x)\), is bounded from the homogenous Sobolev space \({\dot{L}}_1^2({\mathbb R}^n)\) to \(L^2({\mathbb R}^n)\).     

Approximation of entire functions of exponential type by exponential sums<Superscript>*</Superscript>

Let K be a compact set in \( {{\mathbb R}^n} \). For \( 1 \leqslant p \leqslant \infty \), the Bernstein space \( B_K^p \) is the Banach space of all functions \( f \in {L^p}\left( {{{\mathbb R}^n}} \right) \)such that their Fourier transform in a distributional sense is supported on K. If \( f \in B_K^p \), then f is continuous on \( {{\mathbb R}^n} \) and has an extension onto the complex space \( {{\mathbb C}^n} \) to an entire function of exponential type K. We study the approximation of functions in \( B_K^p \) by finite τ -periodic exponential sums of the form

$ \sum\limits_m {{c_m}{e^{2\pi {\text{i}}\left( {x,m} \right)/\tau }}} $

in the \( {L^p}\left( {\tau {{\left[ { - 1/2,1/2} \right]}^n}} \right) \)-norm as τ → ∞ when K is a polytope in \( {{\mathbb R}^n} \).

     

Lower order eigenvalues of a system of equations of the drifting Laplacian on the metric measure spaces

Let \(\Omega \) be a bounded domain with smooth boundary in an n-dimensional metric measure space \((\mathbb {R}^n, \langle ,\rangle , e^{-\phi }dv)\) and let \(\mathbf {u}=(u^1, \ldots , u^n)\) be a vector-valued function from \(\Omega \) to \(\mathbb {R}^n\). In this paper, we investigate the Dirichlet eigenvalue problem of a system of equations of the drifting Laplacian: \(\mathbb {L}_{\phi } \mathbf {u} + \alpha [ \nabla (\mathrm {div}\mathbf { u}) -\nabla \phi \mathrm {div} \mathbf {u}]= - \widetilde{\sigma } \mathbf {u}\), in \( \Omega \), and \(u|_{\partial \Omega }=0,\) where \(\mathbb {L}_{\phi } = \Delta - \nabla \phi \cdot \nabla \) is the drifting Laplacian and \(\alpha \) is a nonnegative constant. We establish some universal inequalities for lower order eigenvalues of this problem on the metric measure space \((\mathbb {R}^n, \langle ,\rangle , e^{-\phi }dv)\) and the Gaussian shrinking soliton \((\mathbb {R}^n, \langle ,\rangle _{\mathrm {can}}, e^{-\frac{|x|^2}{4}}dv, \frac{1}{2})\). Moreover, we give an estimate for the upper bound of the second eigenvalue of this problem in terms of its first eigenvalue on the gradient product Ricci soliton \((\Sigma \times \mathbb {R}, \langle ,\rangle , e^{-\frac{\kappa t^2}{2}}dv, \kappa )\), where \( \Sigma \) is an Einstein manifold with constant Ricci curvature \(\kappa \).     

Decay rates for the magneto-micropolar system in $$\varvec{L^2(}\pmb {\mathbb {R}}^{\varvec{n)}}$$

In this paper, the large time decay of the magneto-micropolar fluid equations on \(\mathbb {R}^n\) (\( n=2,3\)) is studied. We show, for Leray global solutions, that \( \Vert ({\varvec{u}},{\varvec{w}},{\varvec{b}})(\cdot ,t) \Vert _{{L^2(\mathbb {R}^n)}} \rightarrow 0 \) as \(t \rightarrow \infty \) with arbitrary initial data in \( L^2(\mathbb {R}^n)\). When the vortex viscosity is present, we obtain a (faster) decay for the micro-rotational field: \( \Vert {\varvec{w}}(\cdot ,t) \Vert _{{L^2(\mathbb {R}^n)}} = o(t^{-1/2})\). Some related results are also included.     

On Lipschitz continuity of solutions of hyperbolic Poisson’s equation

In this paper, we investigate solutions of the hyperbolic Poisson equation \(\Delta _{h}u(x)=\psi (x)\), where \(\psi \in L^{\infty }(\mathbb {B}^{n}, {\mathbb R}^n)\) and

$$\begin{aligned} \Delta _{h}u(x)= (1-|x|^2)^2\Delta u(x)+2(n-2)\left( 1-|x|^2\right) \sum _{i=1}^{n} x_{i} \frac{\partial u}{\partial x_{i}}(x) \end{aligned}$$

is the hyperbolic Laplace operator in the n-dimensional space \(\mathbb {R}^n\) for \(n\ge 2\). We show that if \(n\ge 3\) and \(u\in C^{2}(\mathbb {B}^{n},{\mathbb R}^n) \cap C(\overline{\mathbb {B}^{n}},{\mathbb R}^n )\) is a solution to the hyperbolic Poisson equation, then it has the representation \(u=P_{h}[\phi ]-G_{ h}[\psi ]\) provided that \(u\mid _{\mathbb {S}^{n-1}}=\phi \) and \(\int _{\mathbb {B}^{n}}(1-|x|^{2})^{n-1} |\psi (x)|\,d\tau (x)<\infty \). Here \(P_{h}\) and \(G_{h}\) denote Poisson and Green integrals with respect to \(\Delta _{h}\), respectively. Furthermore, we prove that functions of the form \(u=P_{h}[\phi ]-G_{h}[\psi ]\) are Lipschitz continuous.

     

The nonlocal Liouville-type equation in $$\mathbb {}$$ and conformal immersions of the disk with boundary singularities

In this paper we perform a blow-up and quantization analysis of the fractional Liouville equation in dimension 1. More precisely, given a sequence \(u_k :\mathbb {R}\rightarrow \mathbb {R}\) of solutions to

$$\begin{aligned} (-\Delta )^\frac{1}{2} u_k =K_ke^{u_k}\quad \text {in} \quad \mathbb {R}, \end{aligned}$$

(1)

with \(K_k\) bounded in \(L^\infty \) and \(e^{u_k}\) bounded in \(L^1\) uniformly with respect to k, we show that up to extracting a subsequence \(u_k\) can blow-up at (at most) finitely many points \(B=\{a_1,\ldots , a_N\}\) and that either (i) \(u_k\rightarrow u_\infty \) in \(W^{1,p}_{{{\mathrm{loc}}}}(\mathbb {R}{\setminus } B)\) and \(K_ke^{u_k} {\mathop {\rightharpoonup }\limits ^{*}}K_\infty e^{u_\infty }+ \sum _{j=1}^N \pi \delta _{a_j}\), or (ii) \(u_k\rightarrow -\infty \) uniformly locally in \(\mathbb {R}{\setminus } B\) and \(K_k e^{u_k} {\mathop {\rightharpoonup }\limits ^{*}}\sum _{j=1}^N \alpha _j \delta _{a_j}\) with \(\alpha _j\ge \pi \) for every j. This result, resting on the geometric interpretation and analysis of (1) provided in a recent collaboration of the authors with T. Rivière and on a classical work of Blank about immersions of the disk into the plane, is a fractional counterpart of the celebrated works of Brézis–Merle and Li–Shafrir on the 2-dimensional Liouville equation, but providing sharp quantization estimates (\(\alpha _j=\pi \) and \(\alpha _j\ge \pi \)) which are not known in dimension 2 under the weak assumption that \((K_k)\) be bounded in \(L^\infty \) and is allowed to change sign.

     

VMO Spaces Associated with Operators with Gaussian Upper Bounds on Product Domains

In this paper, we extend the well-known result “the predual of Hardy space \(H^1\) is VMO” to the product setting, associated with differential operators. Let \(L_i\), \(i = 1, 2\), be the infinitesimal generators of the analytic semigroups \(\{e^{-tL_i}\}\) on \(L^2({\mathbb {R}})\). Assume that the kernels of the semigroups \(\{e^{-tL_i}\}\) satisfy the Gaussian upper bounds. We introduce the VMO spaces VMO\(_{L_1, L_2}(\mathbb {R}\times \mathbb {R})\) associated with operators \(L_1\) and \(L_2\) on the product domain \(\mathbb {R}\times \mathbb {R}\), then show that the dual space of VMO\(_{L_1, L_2}(\mathbb {R}\times \mathbb {R})\) is the Hardy space \(H^1_{L_1^*, L_2^*}(\mathbb {R}\times \mathbb {R})\) associated with the adjoint operators \(L^*_1\) and \(L^*_2\).     

A Faber–Krahn Inequality for Solutions of Schrödinger’s Equation on Riemannian Manifolds

We consider a bounded open set with smooth boundary \(\Omega \subset M\) in a Riemannian manifold (M, g), and suppose that there exists a non-trivial function \(u\in C({\overline{\Omega }})\) solving the problem

$$\begin{aligned} -\Delta u=V(x)u, \,\, \text{ in }\,\,\Omega , \end{aligned}$$

in the distributional sense, with \(V\in L^\infty (\Omega )\), where \(u\equiv 0\) on \(\partial \Omega .\) We prove a sharp inequality involving \(||V||_{L^{\infty }(\Omega )}\) and the first eigenvalue of the Laplacian on geodesic balls in simply connected spaces with constant curvature, which slightly generalises the well-known Faber–Krahn isoperimetric inequality. Moreover, in a Riemannian manifold which is not necessarily simply connected, we obtain a lower bound for \(||V||_{L^{\infty }(\Omega )}\) in terms of its isoperimetric or Cheeger constant. As an application, we show that if \(\Omega \) is a domain on a m-dimensional minimal submanifold of \({\mathbb {R}}^n\) which lies in a ball of radius R, then

$$\begin{aligned} ||V||_{L^{\infty }(\Omega )}\ge \left( \frac{m}{2R}\right) ^{2}. \end{aligned}$$

     

The effect of the domain topology on the number of solutions of fractional Laplace problems

In this paper we are concerned with the multiplicity of solutions for the following fractional Laplace problem

$$\begin{aligned} \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} (-\Delta )^{s}u= \mu |u|^{q-2}u + |u|^{2^*_s-2}u &{}\quad \text{ in } \Omega \\ u=0 &{}\quad \text{ in } {\mathbb {R}}^n{\setminus } \Omega , \end{array}\right. \end{aligned}$$

where \(\Omega \subset {\mathbb {R}}^n\) is an open bounded set with continuous boundary, \(n>2s\) with \(s\in (0,1),(-\Delta )^{s}\) is the fractional Laplacian operator, \(\mu \) is a positive real parameter, \(q\in [2, 2^*_s)\) and \(2^*_s=2n/(n-2s)\) is the fractional critical Sobolev exponent. Using the Lusternik–Schnirelman theory, we relate the number of nontrivial solutions of the problem under consideration with the topology of \(\Omega \). Precisely, we show that the problem has at least \(cat_{\Omega }(\Omega )\) nontrivial solutions, provided that \(q=2\) and \(n\geqslant 4s\) or \(q\in (2, 2^*_s)\) and \(n>2s(q+2)/q\), extending the validity of well-known results for the classical Laplace equation to the fractional nonlocal setting.

     

Sign-changing blowing-up solutions for a non-homogeneous elliptic equation at the critical exponent

We consider the equation \(-\Delta u = |u| ^{\frac{4}{n-2}}u + \varepsilon f(x) \) under zero Dirichlet boundary conditions in a bounded domain \(\Omega \) in \(\mathbb {R}^{n}\), \(n \ge 3\), with \(f\ge 0\), \(f\ne 0\). We find sign-changing solutions with large energy. The basic cell in the construction is the sign-changing nodal solution to the critical Yamabe problem

$$\begin{aligned} -\Delta w = |w|^{\frac{4}{n-2}} w, \quad w \in {\mathcal D}^{1,2} (\mathbb {R}^n) \end{aligned}$$

recently constructed in del Pino et al. (J Differ Equ 251(9):2568–2597, 2011).

     

On the Dual Form of ‘Low <Emphasis Type="Italic">M</Emphasis><Superscript>*</Superscript> Estimate’ in the Quasi-convex Case

Let\(B_{2}^{n}\) denote the Euclidean ball in\({\mathbb R}^n\), and, given closed star-shaped body\(K \subset {\mathbb R}^{n}, M_{K}\) denote the average of the gauge of K on the Euclidean sphere. Let\(p \in (0,1)\) and let\(K \subset {\mathbb R}^{n}\) be a p-convex body. In [17] we proved that for every\(\lambda \in (0,1)\) there exists an orthogonal projection P of rank\((1 - \lambda)n\) such that

$\frac{f(\lambda)}{M_K} PB^{n}_{2} \subset PK,$

where\(f(\lambda)=c_p\lambda^{1+1/p}\) for some positive constant c _p depending on p only. In this note we prove that\(f(\lambda)\) can be taken equal to\(C_p\lambda^{1/p-1/2}\). In terms of Kolmogorov numbers it means that for every\(k \leq n\)

$d_k (\hbox{Id}:\ell^{n}_{2} \to ({\mathbb R}^{n},\|\cdot\|_{K})) \leq C_p \frac{n^{1/p-1}}{k^{1/p-1/2}} \ell(\hbox{ID}: \ell^{n}_{2} \to ({\mathbb R}^{n}, \|\cdot\|_{K})),$

where\(\ell(\hbox{Id})={\bf E}\|\sum\limits^{n}_{i=1}g_i e_i\|_K\) for the independent standard Gaussian random variables\(\{g_i\}\) and the canonical basis\(\{e_i\}\) of\({\mathbb R}^n\). All results do not require the symmetry of K.

     

Monotonicity of solutions for some nonlocal elliptic problems in half-spaces

In this paper we consider classical solutions u of the semilinear fractional problem \((-\Delta )^s u = f(u)\) in \({\mathbb {R}}^N_+\) with \(u=0\) in \({\mathbb {R}}^N {\setminus } {\mathbb {R}}^N_+\), where \((-\Delta )^s\), \(0<s<1\), stands for the fractional laplacian, \(N\ge 2\), \({\mathbb {R}}^N_+=\{x=(x',x_N)\in {\mathbb {R}}^N{:}\ x_N>0\}\) is the half-space and \(f\in C^1\) is a given function. With no additional restriction on the function f, we show that bounded, nonnegative, nontrivial classical solutions are indeed positive in \({\mathbb {R}}^N_+\) and verify

$$\begin{aligned} \frac{\partial u}{\partial x_N}>0 \quad \hbox {in } {\mathbb {R}}^N_+. \end{aligned}$$

This is in contrast with previously known results for the local case \(s=1\), where nonnegative solutions which are not positive do exist and the monotonicity property above is not known to hold in general even for positive solutions when \(f(0)<0\).

     

On Reachable Families of the Loewner Differential Equation in Several Complex Variables

Graham, Hamada, Kohr and Kohr studied the normalized time \(T\) reachable families \(\widetilde{\mathcal {R}}_T(id_{{\mathbb {B}}^n},\Omega )\) of the Loewner differential equation, which are generated by the Carathéodory mappings with values in a subfamily \(\Omega \) of the Carathéodory family \({\mathcal {N}}_A\) for the Euclidean unit ball \({\mathbb {B}}^n\), where \(A\) is a linear operator with \(k_+(A)<2m(A)\) (\(k_+(A)\) is the Lyapunov index of \(A\) and \(m(A)=\min \{\mathfrak {R}\left\langle Az,z\right\rangle \big |z\in {\mathbb {C}}^n,\Vert z\Vert =1\}\)). They obtained some compactness and density results, as generalizations of related results due to Roth, and conjectured that if \(\Omega \) is compact and convex, then \(\widetilde{\mathcal {R}}_T(id_{{\mathbb {B}}^n},\Omega )\) is compact and \(\widetilde{\mathcal {R}}_T(id_{{\mathbb {B}}^n},ex\,\Omega )\) is dense in \(\widetilde{\mathcal {R}}_T(id_{{\mathbb {B}}^n},\Omega )\), where \(ex\,\Omega \) denotes the corresponding set of extreme points and \(T\in [0,\infty ]\). We confirm this, by embedding the Carathéodory mappings in a suitable Bochner space.     

Dimensions of fibers of generic continuous maps

In an earlier paper Buczolich, Elekes, and the author described the Hausdorff dimension of the level sets of a generic real-valued continuous function (in the sense of Baire category) defined on a compact metric space K by introducing the notion of topological Hausdorff dimension. Later on, the author extended the theory for maps from K to \({\mathbb {R}}^n\). The main goal of this paper is to generalize the relevant results for topological and packing dimensions and to obtain new results for sufficiently homogeneous spaces K even in the case case of Hausdorff dimension. Let K be a compact metric space and let us denote by \(C(K,{\mathbb {R}}^n)\) the set of continuous maps from K to \({\mathbb {R}}^n\) endowed with the maximum norm. Let \(\dim _{*}\) be one of the topological dimension \(\dim _T\), the Hausdorff dimension \(\dim _H\), or the packing dimension \(\dim _P\). Define

$$\begin{aligned} d_{*}^n(K)=\inf \left\{ \dim _{*}(K{\setminus } F): F\subset K \text { is } \sigma \text {-compact with } \dim _T F<n\right\} . \end{aligned}$$

We prove that \(d^n_{*}(K)\) is the right notion to describe the dimensions of the fibers of a generic continuous map \(f\in C(K,{\mathbb {R}}^n)\). In particular, we show that \(\sup \{\dim _{*}f^{-1}(y): y\in {\mathbb {R}}^n\} =d^n_{*}(K)\) provided that \(\dim _T K\ge n\), otherwise every fiber is finite. Proving the above theorem for packing dimension requires entirely new ideas. Moreover, we show that the supremum is attained on the left hand side of the above equation. Assume \(\dim _T K\ge n\). If K is sufficiently homogeneous, then we can say much more. For example, we prove that \(\dim _{*}f^{-1}(y)=d^n_{*}(K)\) for a generic \(f\in C(K,{\mathbb {R}}^n)\) for all \(y\in {{\mathrm{int}}}f(K)\) if and only if \(d^n_{*}(U)=d^n_{*}(K)\) or \(\dim _T U<n\) for all open sets \(U\subset K\). This is new even if \(n=1\) and \(\dim _{*}=\dim _H\). It is known that for a generic \(f\in C(K,{\mathbb {R}}^n)\) the interior of f(K) is not empty. We augment the above characterization by showing that \(\dim _T \partial f(K)=\dim _H \partial f(K)=n-1\) for a generic \(f\in C(K,{\mathbb {R}}^n)\). In particular, almost every point of f(K) is an interior point. In order to obtain more precise results, we use the concept of generalized Hausdorff and packing measures, too.

     

Weak type (1, 1) of some operators for the Laplacian with drift

Let \(v = (v_1, \ldots , v_n)\) be a vector in \(\mathbb {R}^n {\setminus } \{ 0 \}\). Consider the Laplacian on \(\mathbb {R}^n\) with drift \(\Delta _{v} = \sum _{i = 1}^n \Big ( \frac{\partial ^2}{\partial x_i^2} + 2 v_i \frac{\partial }{\partial x_i} \Big )\) and the measure \(d\mu (x) = e^{2 \langle v, x \rangle } dx\), with respect to which \(\Delta _{v}\) is self-adjoint. Let d and \(\nabla \) denote the Euclidean distance and the gradient operator on \(\mathbb {R}^n\). Consider the space \((\mathbb {R}^n, d, d\mu )\), which has the property of exponential volume growth. We obtain weak type (1, 1) for the Riesz transform \(\nabla (- \Delta _{v} )^{-\frac{1}{2}}\) and for the heat maximal operator, with respect to \(d\mu \). Further, we prove that the uncentered Hardy–Littlewood maximal operator is bounded on \(L^p\) for \(1 < p \le +\infty \) but not of weak type (1, 1) if \(n \ge 2\).     

Weighted Harmonic Bloch Spaces on the Ball

We study the family of weighted harmonic Bloch spaces \(b_\alpha , \alpha \in {\mathbb {R}}\), on the unit ball of \({\mathbb {R}}^n\). We provide characterizations in terms of partial and radial derivatives and certain radial differential operators that are more compatible with reproducing kernels of harmonic Bergman–Besov spaces. We consider a class of integral operators related to harmonic Bergman projection and determine precisely when they are bounded on \(L^\infty _\alpha \). We define projections from \(L^\infty _\alpha \) to \(b_\alpha \) and as a consequence obtain integral representations. We solve the Gleason problem and provide atomic decomposition for all \(b_\alpha , \alpha \in {\mathbb {R}}\). Finally we give an oscillatory characterization of \(b_\alpha \) when \(\alpha >-1\).     

Intrinsic Structures of Certain Musielak–Orlicz Hardy Spaces

For any \(p\in (0,\,1]\), let \(H^{\Phi _p}(\mathbb {R}^n)\) be the Musielak–Orlicz Hardy space associated with the Musielak–Orlicz growth function \(\Phi _p\), defined by setting, for any \(x\in \mathbb {R}^n\) and \(t\in [0,\,\infty )\),

$$\begin{aligned}&\Phi _{p}(x,\,t)\\&\quad := {\left\{ \begin{array}{ll} \displaystyle \frac{t}{\log {(e+t)}+[t(1+|x|)^n]^{1-p}}&{} \quad \text {when}\ n(1/p-1)\notin \mathbb N \cup \{0\},\\ \displaystyle \frac{t}{\log (e+t)+[t(1+|x|)^n]^{1-p}[\log (e+|x|)]^p}&{} \quad \text {when}\ n(1/p-1)\in \mathbb N\cup \{0\}, \end{array}\right. } \end{aligned}$$

which is the sharp target space of the bilinear decomposition of the product of the Hardy space \(H^p(\mathbb {R}^n)\) and its dual. Moreover, \(H^{\Phi _1}(\mathbb {R}^n)\) is the prototype appearing in the real-variable theory of general Musielak–Orlicz Hardy spaces. In this article, the authors find a new structure of the space \(H^{\Phi _p}(\mathbb {R}^n)\) by showing that, for any \(p\in (0,\,1]\), \(H^{\Phi _p}(\mathbb {R}^n)=H^{\phi _0}(\mathbb {R}^n) +H_{W_p}^p({{{\mathbb {R}}}^n})\) and, for any \(p\in (0,\,1)\), \(H^{\Phi _p}(\mathbb {R}^n)=H^{1}(\mathbb {R}^n) +H_{W_p}^p({{{\mathbb {R}}}^n})\), where \(H^1(\mathbb {R}^n)\) denotes the classical real Hardy space, \(H^{\phi _0}({{{\mathbb {R}}}^n})\) the Orlicz–Hardy space associated with the Orlicz function \(\phi _0(t):=t/\log (e+t)\) for any \(t\in [0,\infty )\), and \(H_{W_p}^p(\mathbb {R}^n)\) the weighted Hardy space associated with certain weight function \(W_p(x)\) that is comparable to \(\Phi _p(x,1)\) for any \(x\in \mathbb {R}^n\). As an application, the authors further establish an interpolation theorem of quasilinear operators based on this new structure.
