We introduce function spaces $B^{p,\lambda }$ with Morrey-Campanato norms, which unify $B^{p,\lambda }$, $CM{O}^{p,\lambda }$ and Morrey-Campanato spaces, and prove the boundedness of the fractional integral operator $I_{\alpha }$ on these spaces.

The estimate ${∥D^{k-1}u∥}_{L^{n/(n-1)}}\le {∥A\left(D\right)u∥}_{L^1}$ is shown to hold if and only if $A\left(D\right)$ is elliptic and canceling. Here $A\left(D\right)$ is a homogeneous linear differential operator $A\left(D\right)$ of order $k$ on ${ℝ}^n$ from a vector space $V$ to a vector space $E$. The operator $A\left(D\right)$ is defined to be canceling if ${\bigcap }_{\xi \in {ℝ}^n\setminus \left\{0\right\}}A\left(\xi \right)\left[V\right]=\left\{0\right\}$. This result implies in particular the classical Gagliardo–Nirenberg–Sobolev inequality, the Korn–Sobolev inequality and Hodge–Sobolev estimates for differential forms due to J. Bourgain and H. Brezis. In the proof, the class of cocanceling homogeneous...

The following iterated commutators $T_{\ast ,\Pi b}$ of the maximal operator for multilinear singular integral operators and $I_{\alpha ,\Pi b}$ of the multilinear fractional integral operator are introduced and studied: $T_{\ast ,\Pi b}\left(f⃗\right)\left(x\right)=su{p}_{\delta >0}\left|[b₁,[b₂,\dots {[b_{m-1},[bₘ,T_{\delta }]ₘ]}_{m-1}\cdots ]₂]₁\left(f⃗\right)\left(x\right)\right|$, $I_{\alpha ,\Pi b}\left(f⃗\right)\left(x\right)=[b₁,[b₂,\dots {[b_{m-1},[bₘ,I_{\alpha }]ₘ]}_{m-1}\cdots ]₂]₁\left(f⃗\right)\left(x\right)$, where $T_{\delta }$ are the smooth truncations of the multilinear singular integral operators and $I_{\alpha }$ is the multilinear fractional integral operator, $b_i\in BMO$ for i = 1,…,m and f⃗ = (f1,…,fm). Weighted strong and L(logL) type end-point estimates for the above iterated commutators associated with two classes of multiple...

We consider a double analytic family of fractional integrals $S_z^{\gamma ,\alpha }$ along the curve ${t\mapsto \left|t\right|}^{\alpha }$, introduced for α = 2 by L. Grafakos in 1993 and defined by $\left(S_z^{\gamma ,\alpha }f\right)(x₁,x₂):=1/\Gamma (z+1/2){\int \int |u-1|}^z\psi (u-1){f(x₁-t,x₂-u|t|}^{\alpha }{\left)du\right|t|}^{\gamma }dt/t$, where ψ is a bump function on ℝ supported near the origin, $f{\in }_c^{\infty }\left(ℝ²\right)$, z,γ ∈ ℂ, Re γ ≥ 0, α ∈ ℝ, α ≥ 2. We determine the set of all (1/p,1/q,Re z) such that $S_z^{\gamma ,\alpha }$ maps $L^p\left(ℝ²\right)$ to $L^q\left(ℝ²\right)$ boundedly. Our proof is based on product-type kernel arguments. More precisely, we prove that the kernel $K_{-1+i\theta }^{i\varrho ,\alpha }$ is a product kernel on ℝ², adapted to the curve ${t\mapsto \left|t\right|}^{\alpha }$; as a consequence, we show...

Let $A_{\alpha }f\left(x\right)={\left|B\right(0,\left|x\right|\left)\right|}^{-\alpha /n}{\int }_{B(0,|x\left|\right)}f\left(t\right)dt$ be the n-dimensional fractional Hardy operator, where 0 < α ≤ n. It is well-known that $A_{\alpha }$ is bounded from $L^p$ to $L^{p_{\alpha }}$ with $p_{\alpha }=np/(\alpha p-np+n)$ when n(1-1/p) < α ≤ n. We improve this result within the framework of Banach function spaces, for instance, weighted Lebesgue spaces and Lorentz spaces. We in fact find a ’source’ space $S_{\alpha ,Y}$, which is strictly larger than X, and a ’target’ space $T_Y$, which is strictly smaller than Y, under the assumption that $A_{\alpha }$ is bounded from X into Y and the Hardy-Littlewood...

We introduce the generalized fractional integrals $I{̃}_{\alpha ,d}$ and prove the strong and weak boundedness of $I{̃}_{\alpha ,d}$ on the central Morrey spaces $B^{p,\lambda }\left(ℝⁿ\right)$. In order to show the boundedness, the generalized λ-central mean oscillation spaces ${\Lambda }_{p,\lambda }^{\left(d\right)}\left(ℝⁿ\right)$ and the generalized weak λ-central mean oscillation spaces $W{\Lambda }_{p,\lambda }^{\left(d\right)}\left(ℝⁿ\right)$ play an important role.

Given a compact manifold $N^n\subset {ℝ}^{\nu }$ and real numbers $s\ge 1$ and $1\le p\&lt;\infty$, we prove that the class $C^{\infty }({\overline{Q}}^m;N^n)$ of smooth maps on the cube with values into $N^n$ is strongly dense in the fractional Sobolev space $W^{s,p}(Q^m;N^n)$ when $N^n$ is $\lfloor sp\rfloor$ simply connected. For $sp$ integer, we prove weak sequential density of $C^{\infty }({\overline{Q}}^m;N^n)$ when $N^n$ is $sp-1$ simply connected. The proofs are based on the existence of a retraction of ${ℝ}^{\nu }$ onto $N^n$ except for a small subset of $N^n$ and on a pointwise estimate of fractional derivatives of composition of maps in $W^{s,p}\cap W^{1,sp}$.

We collect and extend results on the limit of ${\sigma }^{1-k}{(1-\sigma )}^k{\left|v\right|}_{l+\sigma ,p,\Omega }^p$ as σ → 0⁺ or σ → 1¯, where Ω is ℝⁿ or a smooth bounded domain, k ∈ 0,1, l ∈ ℕ, p ∈ [1,∞), and ${\left|·\right|}_{l+\sigma ,p,\Omega }$ is the intrinsic seminorm of order l+σ in the Sobolev space $W^{l+\sigma ,p}\left(\Omega \right)$. In general, the above limit is equal to $c{\left[v\right]}^p$, where c and [·] are, respectively, a constant and a seminorm that we explicitly provide. The particular case p = 2 for Ω = ℝⁿ is also examined and the results are then proved by using the Fourier transform.

Let n be a nonnegative integer and let u ∈ (n,n+1]. We say that f is u-times Peano bounded in the approximate (resp. $L^p$, 1 ≤ p ≤ ∞) sense at $x\in {ℝ}^m$ if there are numbers $f_{\alpha }\left(x\right)$, |α| ≤ n, such that $f(x+h)-{\sum }_{\left|\alpha \right|\le n}{f}_{\alpha }\left(x\right)h^{\alpha }/\alpha !$ is $O\left(h^u\right)$ in the approximate (resp. $L^p$) sense as h → 0. Suppose f is u-times Peano bounded in either the approximate or $L^p$ sense at each point of a bounded measurable set E. Then for every ε > 0 there is a perfect set Π ⊂ E and a smooth function g such that the Lebesgue measure of E∖Π is less than ε and...

We prove the existence of entropy solutions to unilateral problems associated to equations of the type $Au-div\left(\varphi \left(u\right)\right)=\mu \in L¹\left(\Omega \right)+W^{-1,p^{\text{'}}\left(·\right)}\left(\Omega \right)$, where A is a Leray-Lions operator acting from $W{₀}^{1,p\left(·\right)}\left(\Omega \right)$ into its dual $W^{-1,p\left(·\right)}\left(\Omega \right)$ and $\varphi \in C⁰(ℝ,{ℝ}^N)$.

Given a two-dimensional fractional multiplicative process ${\left(F_t\right)}_{t\in [0,1]}$ determined by two Hurst exponents $H_1$ and $H_2$, we show that there is an associated uniform Hausdorff dimension result for the images of subsets of $[0,1]$ by $F$ if and only if $H_1=H_2$.

The properties of topological dynamical systems $(X,T)$ which are disjoint from all minimal systems of zero entropy, ${ℳ}_0$, are investigated. Unlike the measurable case, it is known that topological $K$-systems make up a proper subset of the systems which are disjoint from ${ℳ}_0$. We show that $(X,T)$ has an invariant measure with full support, and if in addition $(X,T)$ is transitive, then $(X,T)$ is weakly mixing. A transitive diagonal system with only one minimal point is constructed. As a consequence, there exists...

We prove the $L^p$ boundedness of the Marcinkiewicz integral operators ${\mu }_{\Omega }$ on ${ℝ}^{n₁}\times \cdots \times {ℝ}^{n_k}$ under the condition that $\Omega \in L{\left(logL\right)}^{k/2}{(}^{n₁-1}\times \cdots {\times }^{n_k-1})$. The exponent k/2 is the best possible. This answers an open question posed by Y. Ding.

Let ${(X,\varrho ,\mu )}_{d,\theta }$ be a space of homogeneous type, i.e. X is a set, ϱ is a quasi-metric on X with the property that there are constants θ ∈ (0,1] and C₀ > 0 such that for all x,x’,y ∈ X, $|\varrho (x,y)-\varrho (x^{\text{'}},y)|\le C₀\varrho {(x,x^{\text{'}})}^{\theta }{[\varrho (x,y)+\varrho (x^{\text{'}},y)]}^{1-\theta }$, and μ is a nonnegative Borel regular measure on X such that for some d > 0 and all x ∈ X, $\mu \left(y\in X:\varrho (x,y)<r\right)\sim r^d$. Let ε ∈ (0,θ], |s| < ε and maxd/(d+ε),d/(d+s+ε) < q ≤ ∞. The author introduces new inhomogeneous Triebel-Lizorkin spaces $F_{\infty q}^s\left(X\right)$ and establishes their frame characterizations by first establishing a Plancherel-Pólya-type...

We define a new function space $B$, which contains in particular BMO, BV, and $W^{1/p,p}$, $1<p<\infty$. We investigate its embedding into Lebesgue and Marcinkiewicz spaces. We present several inequalities involving $L^p$ norms of integer-valued functions in $B$. We introduce a significant closed subspace, $B_0$, of $B$, containing in particular VMO and $W^{1/p,p}$, $1\le p<\infty$. The above mentioned estimates imply in particular that integer-valued functions belonging to $B_0$ are necessarily constant. This framework provides a “common roof”...

We give a new proof using the classic Calderón-Zygmund decomposition that the Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator is bounded on the variable Lebesgue space $L^{p(\cdot )}$ whenever the exponent function $p(\cdot )$ satisfies log-Hölder continuity conditions. We include the case where $p(\cdot )$ assumes the value infinity. The same proof also shows that the fractional maximal operator $M_a$, , maps $L^{p(\cdot )}$ into $L^{q(\cdot )}$, where $1/p(\cdot )-1/q(\cdot )=a/n$.

Let $\Omega \in L^s\left({\mathrm{S}}^{n-1}\right)$ for $s\ge 1$ be a homogeneous function of degree zero and $b$ a BMO function. The commutator generated by the Marcinkiewicz integral ${\mu }_{\Omega }$ and $b$ is defined by $${\displaystyle [b,{\mu }_{\Omega }]\left(f\right)\left(x\right)=({\int }_0^{\infty }{\left|{\int }_{|x-y|\le t}\frac{\Omega (x-y)}{{|x-y|}^{n-1}}[b\left(x\right)-b\left(y\right)]f\left(y\right)\mathrm{d}y{|}^2\frac{\mathrm{d}t}{t^3}\right)}^{1/2}.}$$ In this paper, the author proves the $(L^{p(·)}\left({ℝ}^n\right),L^{p(·)}\left({ℝ}^n\right))$-boundedness of the Marcinkiewicz integral operator ${\mu }_{\Omega }$ and its commutator $[b,{\mu }_{\Omega }]$ when $p(·)$ satisfies some conditions. Moreover, the author obtains the corresponding result about ${\mu }_{\Omega }$ and $[b,{\mu }_{\Omega }]$ on Herz spaces with variable exponent.

AbstractIn [18] and [19] we have studied compact embeddings of weighted function spaces on ℝⁿ, $id:H_q^s(w\left(x\right),ℝⁿ)\to Lₚ\left(ℝⁿ\right)$, s>0, 1 < q ≤ p< ∞, s-n/q+n/p > 0, with, for example, $w\left(x\right)=⟨x{⟩}^{\alpha }$, α > 0, or $w\left(x\right)=lo{g}^{\beta }⟨x⟩$, β > 0, and $⟨x⟩={(2+|x\left|²\right)}^{1/2}$. We have determined the behaviour of their entropy numbers eₖ(id). Now we are interested in the limiting case 1/q = 1/p + s/n. Let $w\left(x\right)=lo{g}^{\beta }⟨x⟩$, β > 0. Our results in [18] imply that id cannot be compact for any β > 0, but after replacing the target space Lₚ(ℝⁿ) by a “slightly” larger one, $Lₚ{\left(logL\right)}_{-a}\left(ℝⁿ\right)$, a...

Let 1 < p < ∞, q = p/(p-1) and for $f\in L^p(0,\infty )$ define $F\left(x\right)=(1/x){ʃ}_0^{x}f\left(t\right)dt$, x > 0. Moser’s Inequality states that there is a constant $C_p$ such that $su{p}_{a\le 1}su{p}_{f\in B_p}{ʃ}_0^{\infty }exp[a{x}^q{\left|F\left(x\right)\right|}^q-x]dx=C_p$ where $B_p$ is the unit ball of $L^p$. Moreover, the value a = 1 is sharp. We observe that $F=K_1$ f where the integral operator $K_1$ has a simple kernel K. We consider the question of for what kernels K(t,x), 0 ≤ t, x < ∞, this result can be extended, and proceed to discuss this when K is non-negative and homogeneous of degree -1. A sufficient condition on K is found for...

In the following text for a discrete finite nonempty set $K$ and a self-map $\varphi :X\to X$ we investigate interaction between different entropies of generalized shift ${\sigma }_{\varphi }:K^X\to K^X$, ${\left(x_{\alpha }\right)}_{\alpha \in X}\mapsto {\left(x_{\varphi \left(\alpha \right)}\right)}_{\alpha \in X}$ and cellularities of some Alexandroff topologies on $X$.

The aim of the paper is two-fold. First, we investigate the ψ-Bessel potential spaces on ${ℝ}_{0+}^{n+1}$ and study some of their properties. Secondly, we consider the fractional powers of an operator of the form $-A_{\pm }=-\psi \left(D_{x^{\text{'}}}\right)\pm \partial /\left(\partial x_{n+1}\right)$, $(x^{\text{'}},x_{n+1})\in {ℝ}_{0+}^{n+1}$, where $\psi \left(D_{x^{\text{'}}}\right)$ is an operator with real continuous negative definite symbol ψ: ℝⁿ → ℝ. We define the domain of the operator $-{(-A_{\pm })}^{\alpha }$ and prove that with this domain it generates an $L_p$-sub-Markovian semigroup.

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 $f$ be a dominant rational map of ${\mathbb{P}}^k$ such that there exists $s\&lt;k$ with ${\lambda }_s\left(f\right)\&gt;{\lambda }_l\left(f\right)$ for all $l$. Under mild hypotheses, we show that, for $A$ outside a pluripolar set of $\mathrm{Aut}\left({\mathbb{P}}^k\right)$, the map $f\circ A$ admits a hyperbolic measure of maximal entropy $log{\lambda }_s\left(f\right)$ with explicit bounds on the Lyapunov exponents. In particular, the result is true for polynomial maps hence for the homogeneous extension of $f$ to ${\mathbb{P}}^{k+1}$. This provides many examples where non uniform hyperbolic dynamics is established. One of the key tools is to approximate...

We consider functions $u\in W_0^{m,1}\left(\Omega \right)$, where $\Omega \subset {ℝ}^N$ is a smooth bounded domain, and $m\ge 2$ is an integer. For all $j\ge 0,1\le k\le m-1$, such that $1\le j+k\le m$, we prove that $\frac{{\partial }^{i}u\left(x\right)}{d{\left(x\right)}^{m-j-k}}\in W_0^{k,1}\left(\Omega \right)$ with $∥{\partial }^k{\left(\frac{{\partial }^{i}u\left(x\right)}{d{\left(x\right)}^{m-j-k}}\right)}_{L^1\left(\Omega \right)}\le C∥u∥{}_{W^{m,1}\left(\Omega \right)}$, where $d$ is a smooth positive function which coincides with dist$(x,\partial \Omega )$ near $\partial \Omega$, and ${\partial }^l$ denotes any partial differential operator of order $l$.

Let ℳ be a hyperfinite finite von Nemann algebra and ${\left({ℳ}_k\right)}_{k\ge 1}$ be an increasing filtration of finite-dimensional von Neumann subalgebras of ℳ. We investigate abstract fractional integrals associated to the filtration ${\left({ℳ}_k\right)}_{k\ge 1}$. For a finite noncommutative martingale $x={\left(x_k\right)}_{1\le k\le n}\subseteq L₁\left(ℳ\right)$ adapted to ${\left({ℳ}_k\right)}_{k\ge 1}$ and 0 < α < 1, the fractional integral of x of order α is defined by setting $I^{\alpha }x={\sum }_{k=1}^n{\zeta }_k^{\alpha }d{x}_k$ for an appropriate sequence ${\left({\zeta }_k\right)}_{k\ge 1}$ of scalars. For the case of a noncommutative dyadic martingale in L₁() where is the type II₁ hyperfinite factor...
