Let $S\subset {ℝ}^{n+1}$ be the graph of the function $\varphi :{[-1,1]}^n\to ℝ$ defined by $\varphi (x_1,\cdots ,x_n)={\sum }_{j=1}^n{\left|x_j\right|}^{{\beta }_j},$ with 1<${\beta }_1\le \cdots \le {\beta }_n,$ and let $\mu$ the measure on ${ℝ}^{n+1}$ induced by the Euclidean area measure on S. In this paper we characterize the set of pairs (p,q) such that the convolution operator with $\mu$ is $L^p$-$L^q$ bounded.

We discuss the existence of entropy solution for the strongly nonlinear unilateral parabolic inequalities associated to the nonlinear parabolic equations ∂u/∂t - div(a(x,t,u,∇u) + Φ(u)) + g(u)M(|∇u|) = μ in Q, in the framework of Orlicz-Sobolev spaces without any restriction on the N-function of the Orlicz spaces, where -div(a(x,t,u,∇u)) is a Leray-Lions operator and $\Phi \in C⁰(ℝ,{ℝ}^N)$. The function g(u)M(|∇u|) is a nonlinear lower order term with natural growth with respect to |∇u|, without satisfying the sign...

We obtain the equivalence of the properties $\left(\beta \right)$ and (NUC) in Orlicz function spaces. This answers a question raised by Y. Cui, R. Pluciennik and T. Wang.

We discuss the validity of the Helmholtz decomposition of the Muckenhoupt $A_p$-weighted $L^p$-space ${\left(L_w^p\left(\Omega \right)\right)}^n$ for any domain $\Omega$ in ${ℝ}^n$, $n\in \mathbb{Z}$, $n\ge 2$, $1<p<\infty$ and Muckenhoupt $A_p$-weight $w\in A_p$. Set $p^{\text{'}}:=p/(p-1)$ and $w^{\text{'}}:=w^{-1/(p-1)}$. Then the Helmholtz decomposition of ${\left(L_w^p\left(\Omega \right)\right)}^n$ and ${\left(L_{w^{\text{'}}}^{p^{\text{'}}}\left(\Omega \right)\right)}^n$ and the variational estimate of $L_{w,\pi }^p\left(\Omega \right)$ and $L_{w^{\text{'}},\pi }^{p^{\text{'}}}\left(\Omega \right)$ are equivalent. Furthermore, we can replace $L_{w,\pi }^p\left(\Omega \right)$ and $L_{w^{\text{'}},\pi }^{p^{\text{'}}}\left(\Omega \right)$ by $L_{w,\sigma }^p\left(\Omega \right)$ and $L_{w^{\text{'}},\sigma }^{p^{\text{'}}}\left(\Omega \right)$, respectively. The proof is based on the reflexivity and orthogonality of $L_{w,\pi }^p\left(\Omega \right)$ and $L_{w,\sigma }^p\left(\Omega \right)$ and the Hahn-Banach theorem. As a corollary of our main result, we obtain the extrapolation theorem with...

Generalizing the classical BMO spaces defined on the unit circle with vector or scalar values, we define the spaces $BM{O}_{{\psi }_q}\left(\right)$ and $BM{O}_{{\psi }_q}(,B)$, where ${\psi }_q\left(x\right)=e^{x^q}-1$ for x ≥ 0 and q ∈ [1,∞[, and where B is a Banach space. Note that $BM{O}_{{\psi }_1}\left(\right)=BMO\left(\right)$ and $BM{O}_{{\psi }_1}(,B)=BMO(,B)$ by the John-Nirenberg theorem. Firstly, we study a generalization of the classical Paley inequality and improve the Blasco-Pełczyński theorem in the vector case. Secondly, we compute the idempotent multipliers of $BM{O}_{{\psi }_q}\left(\right)$. Pisier conjectured that the supports of idempotent multipliers of $L^{{\psi }_q}\left(\right)$ form a Boolean...
