We prove that the associate space of a generalized Orlicz space $L^{\phi (·)}$ is given by the conjugate modular ${\phi }^{*}$ even without the assumption that simple functions belong to the space. Second, we show that every weakly doubling $\Phi$-function is equivalent to a doubling $\Phi$-function. As a consequence, we conclude that $L^{\phi (·)}$ is uniformly convex if $\phi$ and ${\phi }^{*}$ are weakly doubling.

Let G be a locally compact group, let (φ,ψ) be a complementary pair of Young functions, and let $L^{\phi }\left(G\right)$ and $L^{\psi }\left(G\right)$ be the corresponding Orlicz spaces. Under some conditions on φ, we will show that for a Banach $L^{\phi }\left(G\right)$-submodule X of $L^{\psi }\left(G\right)$, the multiplier space $Ho{m}_{L^{\phi }\left(G\right)}(L^{\phi }\left(G\right),X*)$ is a dual Banach space with predual $L^{\phi }\left(G\right)\bullet X:=\overline{span}ux:u\in L^{\phi }\left(G\right),x\in X$, where the closure is taken in the dual space of $Ho{m}_{L^{\phi }\left(G\right)}(L^{\phi }\left(G\right),X*)$. We also prove that if $\phi$ is a Δ₂-regular N-function, then $C{v}_{\phi }\left(G\right)$, the space of convolutors of $M^{\phi }\left(G\right)$, is identified with the dual of a Banach algebra of functions on G...

Our aim in this paper is to establish Trudinger’s inequality on Musielak-Orlicz-Morrey spaces $L^{\Phi ,\kappa }\left(G\right)$ under conditions on $\Phi$ which are essentially weaker than those considered in a former paper. As an application and example, we show Trudinger’s inequality for double phase functionals $\Phi (x,t)=t^{p\left(x\right)}+a\left(x\right)t^{q\left(x\right)}$, where $p(·)$ and $q(·)$ satisfy log-Hölder conditions and $a(·)$ is nonnegative, bounded and Hölder continuous.

A new lower bound for the Jung constant $JC\left(l^{\left(\Phi \right)}\right)$ of the Orlicz sequence space $l^{\left(\Phi \right)}$ defined by an N-function Φ is found. It is proved that if $l^{\left(\Phi \right)}$ is reflexive and the function tΦ’(t)/Φ(t) is increasing on $(0,{\Phi }^{-1}\left(1\right)]$, then $JC\left(l^{\left(\Phi \right)}\right)\ge \left({\Phi }^{-1}(1/2)\right)/\left({\Phi }^{-1}\left(1\right)\right)$. Examples in Section 3 show that the above estimate is better than in Zhang’s paper (2003) in some cases and that the results given in Yan’s paper (2004) are not accurate.

Let ϕ: ℝ → ℝ₊ ∪ 0 be an even convex continuous function with ϕ(0) = 0 and ϕ(u) > 0 for all u > 0 and let w be a weight function. u₀ and v₀ are defined by u₀ = supu: ϕ is linear on (0,u), v₀=supv: w is constant on (0,v) (where sup∅ = 0). We prove the following theorem. Theorem. Suppose that ${\Lambda }_{\varphi ,w}(0,\infty )$ (respectively, ${\Lambda }_{\varphi ,w}(0,1)$) is an order continuous Lorentz-Orlicz space. (1) ${\Lambda }_{\varphi ,w}$ has normal structure if and only if u₀ = 0 (respectively, ${\int }^{v₀}\varphi \left(u₀\right)·w<2andu₀<\infty ).$(2) ${\Lambda }_{\varphi ,w}$ has weakly normal structure if and only if ${\int }_0^{v₀}\varphi \left(u₀\right)·w<2$.

Let $L:=-\Delta +V$ be a Schrödinger operator on ${ℝ}^n$ with $n\ge 3$ and $V\ge 0$ satisfying ${\Delta }^{-1}V\in L^{\infty }\left({ℝ}^n\right)$. Assume that $\varphi :{ℝ}^n\times [0,\infty )\to [0,\infty )$ is a function such that $\varphi (x,·)$ is an Orlicz function, $\varphi (·,t)\in {𝔸}_{\infty }\left({ℝ}^n\right)$ (the class of uniformly Muckenhoupt weights). Let $w$ be an $L$-harmonic function on ${ℝ}^n$ with $0<C_1\le w\le C_2$, where $C_1$ and $C_2$ are positive constants. In this article, the author proves that the mapping $H_{\varphi ,L}\left({ℝ}^n\right)\ni f\mapsto wf\in H_{\varphi }\left({ℝ}^n\right)$ is an isomorphism from the Musielak-Orlicz-Hardy space associated with $L$, $H_{\varphi ,L}\left({ℝ}^n\right)$, to the Musielak-Orlicz-Hardy space $H_{\varphi }\left({ℝ}^n\right)$ under some assumptions on $\varphi$. As applications, the author further...

We give some equivalent conditions (independent from the Young functions) for inclusions between some classes of $X^{\Phi }$ spaces, where $\Phi$ is a Young function and $X$ is a quasi-Banach function space on a $\sigma$-finite measure space $(\Omega ,𝒜,\mu )$.

We are concerned with the boundedness of generalized fractional integral operators $I_{\rho ,\tau }$ from Orlicz spaces $L^{\Phi }\left(X\right)$ near $L^1\left(X\right)$ to Orlicz spaces $L^{\Psi }\left(X\right)$ over metric measure spaces equipped with lower Ahlfors $Q$-regular measures, where $\Phi$ is a function of the form $\Phi \left(r\right)=r\ell \left(r\right)$ and $\ell$ is of log-type. We give a generalization of paper by Mizuta et al. (2010), in the Euclidean setting. We deal with both generalized Riesz potentials and generalized logarithmic potentials.

Let 1 ≤ p < 2 and let $L_p=L_p[0,1]$ be the classical $L_p$-space of all (classes of) p-integrable functions on [0,1]. It is known that a sequence of independent copies of a mean zero random variable $f\in L_p$ spans in $L_p$ a subspace isomorphic to some Orlicz sequence space $l_M$. We give precise connections between M and f and establish conditions under which the distribution of a random variable $f\in L_p$ whose independent copies span $l_M$ in $L_p$ is essentially unique.

Net (X,ℱ,ν) be a σ-finite measure space. Associated with k Lamperti operators on $L^p\left(\nu \right)$, $T₁,...,T_k$, $n̅=(n₁,...,n_k)\in {\mathbb{N}}^k$ and $\alpha ̅=(\alpha ₁,...,{\alpha }_k)$ with $0<{\alpha }_j\le 1$, we define the ergodic Cesàro-α̅ averages ${}_{n̅,\alpha ̅}f=1/\left({\prod }_{j=1}^k{A}_{n_j}^{{\alpha }_j}\right){\sum }_{i_k=0}^{n_k}\cdots {\sum }_{i₁=0}^{n₁}{\prod }_{j=1}^k{A}_{n_j-i_j}^{{\alpha }_j-1}{T}_k^{i_k}\cdots T{₁}^{i₁}f$. For these averages we prove the almost everywhere convergence on X and the convergence in the $L^p\left(\nu \right)$ norm, when $n₁,...,n_k\to \infty$ independently, for all $f\in L^p\left(d\nu \right)$ with p > 1/α⁎ where $\alpha ⁎=mi{n}_{1\le j\le k}{\alpha }_j$. In the limit case p = 1/α⁎, we prove that the averages ${}_{n̅,\alpha ̅}f$ converge almost everywhere on X for all f in the Orlicz-Lorentz space $\Lambda (1/\alpha ⁎,{\phi }_{m-1})$ with $\phi ₘ\left(t\right)=t{(1+log⁺t)}^m$. To obtain the result in the limit case we need...

Let (Ω,μ) be a measure space, E be an arbitrary separable Banach space, $E{*}_{\omega *}$ be the dual equipped with the weak* topology, and g:Ω × E → ℝ be a Carathéodory function which is Lipschitz continuous on each ball of E for almost all s ∈ Ω. Put $G\left(x\right):={\int }_{\Omega }g(s,x\left(s\right))d\mu \left(s\right)$. Consider the integral functional G defined on some non-$L^p$-type Banach space X of measurable functions x: Ω → E. We present several general theorems on sufficient conditions under which any element γ ∈ X* of Clarke’s generalized gradient (multivalued...

Denote by $C$ the commutator $AB-BA$ of two bounded operators $A$ and $B$ acting on a locally convex topological vector space. If $AC-CA=0$, we show that $C$ is a quasinilpotent operator and we prove that if $AC-CA$ is a compact operator, then $C$ is a Riesz operator.

We combine the techniques of sequence spaces and general Orlicz functions that are broader than the classical cases of $N$-functions. We give three criteria for the weakly compact sets in general Orlicz sequence spaces. One criterion is related to elements of dual spaces. Under the restriction of ${lim}_{u\to 0}M\left(u\right)/u=0$, we propose two other modular types that are convenient to use because they get rid of elements of dual spaces. Subsequently, by one of these two modular criteria, we see that a set $A$ in Riesz...

Let Φ be a concave function on (0,∞) of strictly critical lower type index $p_{\Phi }\in (0,1]$ and $\omega \in A_{\infty }^{loc}\left(ℝⁿ\right)$ (the class of local weights introduced by V. S. Rychkov). We introduce the weighted local Orlicz-Hardy space $h_{\omega }^{\Phi }\left(ℝⁿ\right)$ via the local grand maximal function. Let $\rho \left(t\right)\equiv t^{-1}/{\Phi }^{-1}\left(t^{-1}\right)$ for all t ∈ (0,∞). We also introduce the BMO-type space $bm{o}_{\rho ,\omega }\left(ℝⁿ\right)$ and establish the duality between $h_{\omega }^{\Phi }\left(ℝⁿ\right)$ and $bm{o}_{\rho ,\omega }\left(ℝⁿ\right)$. Characterizations of $h_{\omega }^{\Phi }\left(ℝⁿ\right)$, including the atomic characterization, the local vertical and the local nontangential maximal function characterizations, are...

Let $ℐ$ be a coherent subsheaf of a locally free sheaf $𝒪\left(E_0\right)$ and suppose that $ℱ=𝒪\left(E_0\right)/ℐ$ has pure codimension. Starting with a residue current $R$ obtained from a locally free resolution of $ℱ$ we construct a vector-valued Coleff-Herrera current $\mu$ with support on the variety associated to $ℱ$ such that $\phi$ is in $ℐ$ if and only if $\mu \phi =0$. Such a current $\mu$ can also be derived algebraically from a fundamental theorem of Roos about the bidualizing functor, and the relation between these two approaches is discussed....

In this paper, we obtain new sufficient conditions for the operators $F_{{\alpha }_1,{\alpha }_2,...,{\alpha }_n,\beta }\left(z\right)$ and $G_{{\alpha }_1,{\alpha }_2,...,{\alpha }_n,\beta }\left(z\right)$ to be univalent in the open unit disc $𝒰$, where the functions $f_1,f_2,...,f_n$ belong to the classes $S^{*}(a,b)$ and $𝒦(a,b)$. The order of convexity for the operators $F_{{\alpha }_1,{\alpha }_2,...,{\alpha }_n,\beta }\left(z\right)$ and $G_{{\alpha }_1,{\alpha }_2,...,{\alpha }_n,\beta }\left(z\right)$ is also determined. Furthermore, and for $\beta =1$, we obtain sufficient conditions for the operators $F_n\left(z\right)$ and $G_n\left(z\right)$ to be in the class $𝒦(a,b)$. Several corollaries and consequences of the main results are also considered.

Let ⟨X,Y⟩ be a duality pair of M-spaces X,Y of measurable functions from Ω ⊂ ℝ ⁿ into ${ℝ}^d$. The paper deals with Y-weak cluster points ϕ̅ of the sequence $\varphi (·,z_j\left(·\right))$ in X, where $z_j:\Omega \to {ℝ}^m$ is measurable for j ∈ ℕ and $\varphi :\Omega \times {ℝ}^m\to {ℝ}^d$ is a Carathéodory function. We obtain general sufficient conditions, under which, for some negligible set $A_{\varphi }$, the integral $I(\varphi ,{\nu }_x):={\int }_{{ℝ}^m}\varphi (x,\lambda )d{\nu }_x\left(\lambda \right)$ exists for $x\in \Omega \setminus A_{\varphi }$ and $\varphi ̅\left(x\right)=I(\varphi ,{\nu }_x)$ on $\Omega \setminus A_{\varphi }$, where $\nu ={{\nu }_x}_{x\in \Omega }$ is a measurable-dependent family of Radon probability measures on ${ℝ}^m$.

We show that for a linear space of operators $ℳ\subseteq ℬ({\mathscr{H}}_1,{\mathscr{H}}_2)$ the following assertions are equivalent. (i) $ℳ$ is reflexive in the sense of Loginov-Shulman. (ii) There exists an order-preserving map $\Psi =({\psi }_1,{\psi }_2)$ on a bilattice $\mathrm{Bil}\left(ℳ\right)$ of subspaces determined by $ℳ$ with $P\le {\psi }_1(P,Q)$ and $Q\le {\psi }_2(P,Q)$ for any pair $(P,Q)\in \mathrm{Bil}\left(ℳ\right)$, and such that an operator $T\in ℬ({\mathscr{H}}_1,{\mathscr{H}}_2)$ lies in $ℳ$ if and only if ${\psi }_2(P,Q)T{\psi }_1(P,Q)=0$ for all $(P,Q)\in \mathrm{Bil}\left(ℳ\right)$. This extends the Erdos-Power type characterization of weakly closed bimodules over a nest algebra to reflexive spaces.
