We investigate the Fourier transforms of functions in the Sobolev spaces $W_1^{r_1,...,r_n}$. It is proved that for any function $f\in W_1^{r_1,...,r_n}$ the Fourier transform f̂ belongs to the Lorentz space $L^{n/r,1}$, where $r=n{({\sum }_{j=1}^{n}1/r_j)}^{-1}\le n$. Furthermore, we derive from this result that for any mixed derivative $D^{s}f(f\in C_0^{\infty },s=(s_1,...,s_n))$ the weighted norm $\parallel {\left(D^{s}f\right)}^{\wedge }{\parallel }_{L^1\left(w\right)}(w\left(\xi \right)={\left|\xi \right|}^{-n})$ can be estimated by the sum of $L^1$-norms of all pure derivatives of the same order. This gives an answer to a question posed by A. Pełczyński and M. Wojciechowski.

We study mixed norm spaces that arise in connection with embeddings of Sobolev and Besov spaces. We prove Sobolev type inequalities in terms of these mixed norms. Applying these results, we obtain optimal constants in embedding theorems for anisotropic Besov spaces. This gives an extension of the estimate proved by Bourgain, Brezis and Mironescu for isotropic Besov spaces.

We investigate the classical embedding $B_{p,\theta }^s\subset B_{q,\theta }^{s-n(1/p-1/q)}$. The sharp asymptotic behaviour as s → 1 of the operator norm of this embedding is found. In particular, our result yields a refinement of the Bourgain, Brezis and Mironescu theorem concerning an analogous problem for the Sobolev-type embedding. We also give a different, elementary proof of the latter theorem.

We investigate the behaviour of Fourier coefficients with respect to the system of ultraspherical polynomials. This leads us to the study of the “boundary” Lorentz space ${ℒ}_{\lambda }$ corresponding to the left endpoint of the mean convergence interval. The ultraspherical coefficients $c{ₙ}^{\left(\lambda \right)}\left(f\right)$ of ${ℒ}_{\lambda }$-functions turn out to behave like the Fourier coefficients of functions in the real Hardy space ReH¹. Namely, we prove that for any $f\in {ℒ}_{\lambda }$ the series ${\sum }_{n=1}^{\infty }c{ₙ}^{\left(\lambda \right)}\left(f\right)cosn\theta$ is the Fourier series of some function φ ∈ ReH¹ with ${\left|\right|\phi \left|\right|}_{ReH¹}{\le c\left|\right|f\left|\right|}_{{ℒ}_{\lambda }}$.
