Our aim is to establish Sobolev type inequalities for fractional maximal functions $M_{ℍ,\nu }f$ and Riesz potentials $I_{ℍ,\alpha }f$ in weighted Morrey spaces of variable exponent on the half space $ℍ$. We also obtain Sobolev type inequalities for a $C^1$ function on $ℍ$. As an application, we obtain Sobolev type inequality for double phase functionals with variable exponents $\Phi (x,t)=t^{p\left(x\right)}+{\left(b\left(x\right)t\right)}^{q\left(x\right)}$, where $p(·)$ and $q(·)$ satisfy log-Hölder conditions, $p\left(x\right)<q\left(x\right)$ for $x\in ℍ$, and $b(·)$ is nonnegative and Hölder continuous of order $\theta \in (0,1]$.

The distributional $k$-dimensional Jacobian of a map $u$ in the Sobolev space $W^{1,k-1}$ which takes values in the sphere $S^{k-1}$ can be viewed as the boundary of a rectifiable current of codimension $k$ carried by (part of) the singularity of $u$ which is topologically relevant. The main purpose of this paper is to investigate the range of the Jacobian operator; in particular, we show that any boundary $M$ of codimension $k$ can be realized as Jacobian of a Sobolev map valued in $S^{k-1}$. In case $M$ is polyhedral, the...

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 prove some optimal estimates of Hölder-logarithmic type in the Hardy-Sobolev spaces $H^{k,p}\left(G\right)$, where $k\in {\mathbb{N}}^{*}$, $1\le p\le \infty$ and $G$ is either the open unit disk $𝔻$ or the annular domain $G_s$, $0<s<1$ of the complex space $ℂ$. More precisely, we study the behavior on the interior of $G$ of any function $f$ belonging to the unit ball of the Hardy-Sobolev spaces $H^{k,p}\left(G\right)$ from its behavior on any open connected subset $I$ of the boundary $\partial G$ of $G$ with respect to the $L^1$-norm. Our results can be viewed as an improvement and generalization of...

Let ${\left(F_n\right)}_{n\in \mathbb{N}}$ be a sequence of non-decreasing functions from $[0,+\infty )$ into $[0,+\infty )$. Under some suitable hypotheses of ${\left(F_n\right)}_{n\in \mathbb{N}}$, we will prove that if $g\in L^p\left({ℝ}^N\right)$, $1<p<+\infty$, satisfies ${lim\; inf}_{n\to \infty }{\int }_{{ℝ}^N}{\int }_{{ℝ}^N}{F}_n{\left(\right|g\left(x\right)-g\left(y\right)\left|\right)/|x-y|}^{N+p}dxdy<+\infty$, then $g\in W^{1,p}\left({ℝ}^N\right)$ and moreover ${lim}_{n\to \infty }{\int }_{{ℝ}^N}{\int }_{{ℝ}^N}{F}_n{\left(\right|g\left(x\right)-g\left(y\right)\left|\right)/|x-y|}^{N+p}dxdy=K_{N,p}{\int }_{{ℝ}^N}{\left|\nabla g\left(x\right)\right|}^{p}dx$, where $K_{N,p}$ is a positive constant depending only on $N$ and $p$. This extends some results in J. Bourgain and H-M. Nguyen [A new characterization of Sobolev spaces, C. R. Acad Sci. Paris, Ser. 343 (2006) 75-80] and H-M. Nguyen [Some new characterizations of Sobolev spaces, J. Funct. Anal. 237 (2006) 689-720]. We also present some...

We prove some results in the context of isoperimetric inequalities with quantitative terms. In the $2$-dimensional case, our main contribution is a method for determining the optimal coefficients $c_1,...,c_m$ in the inequality $\delta P\left(E\right)\ge {\sum }_{k=1}^m{c}_k\alpha {\left(E\right)}^k+o\left(\alpha {\left(E\right)}^m\right)$, valid for each Borel set $E$ with positive and finite area, with $\delta P\left(E\right)$ and $\alpha \left(E\right)$ being, respectively, the $\mathrm{𝑖𝑠𝑜𝑝𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑚𝑒𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑑𝑒𝑓𝑖𝑐𝑖𝑡}$ and the $\mathrm{𝐹𝑟𝑎𝑒𝑛𝑘𝑒𝑙𝑎𝑠𝑦𝑚𝑚𝑒𝑡𝑟𝑦}$ of $E$. In $n$ dimensions, besides proving existence and regularity properties of minimizers for a wide class of $\mathrm{𝑞𝑢𝑎𝑛𝑡𝑖𝑡𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑣𝑒𝑖𝑠𝑜𝑝𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑚𝑒𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑞𝑢𝑜𝑡𝑖𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑠}$ including the lower semicontinuous extension of $\frac{\delta P\left(E\right)}{\alpha {\left(E\right)}^2}$, we...

The $\sigma$-property of a Riesz space (real vector lattice) $B$ is: For each sequence $\left\{b_n\right\}$ of positive elements of $B$, there is a sequence $\left\{{\lambda }_n\right\}$ of positive reals, and $b\in B$, with ${\lambda }_n{b}_n\le b$ for each $n$. This condition is involved in studies in Riesz spaces of abstract Egoroff-type theorems, and of the countable lifting property. Here, we examine when “$\sigma$” obtains for a Riesz space of continuous real-valued functions $C\left(X\right)$. A basic result is: For discrete $X$, $C\left(X\right)$ has $\sigma$ iff the cardinal $\left|X\right|<𝔟$, Rothberger’s bounding number. Consequences...

In this note we shall prove that for a continuous function $\varphi :\Delta \to {ℝ}^n$, where $\Delta \subset ℝ$,  the paratingent of $\varphi$ at $a\in \Delta$ is a non-empty and compact set in ${ℝ}^n$ if and only if $\varphi$ satisfies Lipschitz condition in a neighbourhood of $a$. Moreover, in this case the paratingent is a connected set.

The main purpose of this article is to give a generalization of the logarithmic-type estimate in the Hardy-Sobolev spaces $H^{k,p}\left(G\right)$; $k\in {\mathbb{N}}^{*}$, $1\le p\le \infty$ and $G$ is the open unit disk or the annulus of the complex space $ℂ$.

Let ${\mathrm{𝙴𝙼𝙱𝙴𝙳}}_{k\to d}$ be the following algorithmic problem: Given a finite simplicial complex $K$ of dimension at most $k$, does there exist a (piecewise linear) embedding of $K$ into ${ℝ}^d$? Known results easily imply polynomiality of ${\mathrm{𝙴𝙼𝙱𝙴𝙳}}_{k\to 2}$ ($k=1,2$; the case $k=1,d=2$ is graph planarity) and of ${\mathrm{𝙴𝙼𝙱𝙴𝙳}}_{k\to 2k}$ for all $k\ge 3$. We show that the celebrated result of Novikov on the algorithmic unsolvability of recognizing the 5-sphere implies that ${\mathrm{𝙴𝙼𝙱𝙴𝙳}}_{d\to d}$ and ${\mathrm{𝙴𝙼𝙱𝙴𝙳}}_{(d-1)\to d}$ are undecidable for each ${}_d\ge 5$. Our main result is NP-hardness of ${\mathrm{𝙴𝙼𝙱𝙴𝙳}}_{2\to 4}$ and, more generally, of ${\mathrm{𝙴𝙼𝙱𝙴𝙳}}_{k\to d}$ for all...

In a Tychonoff space $X$, the point $p\in X$ is called a $C^{*}$-point if every real-valued continuous function on $C\setminus \left\{p\right\}$ can be extended continuously to $p$. Every point in an extremally disconnected space is a $C^{*}$-point. A classic example is the space ${𝐖}^{*}={\omega }_1+1$ consisting of the countable ordinals together with ${\omega }_1$. The point ${\omega }_1$ is known to be a $C^{*}$-point as well as a $P$-point. We supply a characterization of $C^{*}$-points in totally ordered spaces. The remainder of our time is aimed at studying when a point in a product space...

We prove that for a normed linear space $X$, if $f_1:X\to ℝ$ is continuous and semiconvex with modulus $\omega$, $f_2:X\to ℝ$ is continuous and semiconcave with modulus $\omega$ and $f_1\le f_2$, then there exists $f\in C^{1,\omega }\left(X\right)$ such that $f_1\le f\le f_2$. Using this result we prove a generalization of Ilmanen lemma (which deals with the case $\omega \left(t\right)=t$) to the case of an arbitrary nontrivial modulus $\omega$. This generalization (where a $C_{loc}^{1,\omega }$ function is inserted) gives a positive answer to a problem formulated by A. Fathi and M. Zavidovique in 2010.

We show that any ${\Sigma }_s$-product of at most $𝔠$-many $L\Sigma (\le \omega )$-spaces has the $L\Sigma (\le \omega )$-property. This result generalizes some known results about $L\Sigma (\le \omega )$-spaces. On the other hand, we prove that every ${\Sigma }_s$-product of monotonically monolithic spaces is monotonically monolithic, and in a similar form, we show that every ${\Sigma }_s$-product of Collins-Roscoe spaces has the Collins-Roscoe property. These results generalize some known results about the Collins-Roscoe spaces and answer some questions due to Tkachuk [Lifting the Collins-Roscoe...

Let $D$ be a ${𝒞}^d$ $q$-convex intersection, $d\ge 2$, $0\le q\le n-1$, in a complex manifold $X$ of complex dimension $n$, $n\ge 2$, and let $E$ be a holomorphic vector bundle of rank $N$ over $X$. In this paper, ${𝒞}^k$-estimates, $k=2,3,\cdots ,\infty$, for solutions to the $\overline{\partial }$-equation with small loss of smoothness are obtained for $E$-valued $(0,s)$-forms on $D$ when $n-q\le s\le n$. In addition, we solve the $\overline{\partial }$-equation with a support condition in ${𝒞}^k$-spaces. More precisely, we prove that for a $\overline{\partial }$-closed form $f$ in ${𝒞}_{0,q}^k(X\setminus D,E)$, $1\le q\le n-2$, $n\ge 3$, with compact support and for $\epsilon$ with $0<\epsilon <1$ there...

Let $\Omega$ be a bounded domain of class $C^2$ in $ℝ$N and let $K$ be a compact subset of $\partial \Omega$. Assume that $q\ge (N+1)/\left(N-1\right)$ and denote by $U_K$ the maximal solution of $-\Delta u+u^q=0$ in $\Omega$ which vanishes on $\partial \Omega \setminus K$. We obtain sharp upper and lower estimates for $U_K$ in terms of the Bessel capacity $C_{2/q,q^{\text{'}}}$ and prove that $U_K$ is $\sigma$-moderate. In addition we describe the precise asymptotic behavior of $U_K$ at points $\sigma \in K$, which depends on the “density” of $K$ at $\sigma$, measured in terms of the capacity $C_{2/q,q^{\text{'}}}$.

We investigate the recovery of $k$-sparse signals using the ${\ell }_1$-${\ell }_2$ minimization model with prior support set information. The prior support set information, which is believed to contain the indices of nonzero signal elements, significantly enhances the performance of compressive recovery by improving accuracy, efficiency, reducing complexity, expanding applicability, and enhancing robustness. We assume $k$-sparse signals $𝐱$ with the prior support $T$ which is composed of $g$ true indices and $b$ wrong...
