Let $\theta \in (0,1)$, $\lambda \in [0,1)$ and $p,p_0,p_1\in (1,\infty ]$ be such that $(1-\theta )/p_0+\theta /p_1=1/p$, and let $\varphi ,{\varphi }_0,{\varphi }_1$ be some admissible functions such that $\varphi ,{\varphi }_0^{p/p_0}$ and ${\varphi }_1^{p/p_1}$ are equivalent. We first prove that, via the $\pm$ interpolation method, the interpolation $\langle L_{{\varphi }_0}^{p_0),\lambda }\left(𝒳\right),L_{{\varphi }_1}^{p_1),\lambda }\left(𝒳\right),\theta \rangle$ of two generalized grand Morrey spaces on a quasi-metric measure space $𝒳$ is the generalized grand Morrey space $L_{\varphi }^{p),\lambda }\left(𝒳\right)$. Then, by using block functions, we also find a predual space of the generalized grand Morrey space. These results are new even for generalized grand Lebesgue spaces.

Banach operator ideal properties of the inclusion maps between Banach sequence spaces are used to study interpolation of orbit spaces. Relationships between those spaces and the method-of-means spaces generated by couples of weighted Banach sequence spaces with the weights determined by concave functions and their Janson sequences are shown. As an application we obtain the description of interpolation orbits in couples of weighted $L_p$-spaces when they are not described by the K-method. We also develop...

In recent years the study of interpolation of Banach spaces has seen some unexpected interactions with other fields. (...) In this paper I shall discuss some more interactions of interpolation theory with the rest of mathematics, beginning with some joint work with Coifman [CS]. Our basic idea was to look for the methods of interpolation that had interesting PDE's arising as examples.

The interpolation properties of Cesàro sequence and function spaces are investigated. It is shown that $Ce{s}_p\left(I\right)$ is an interpolation space between $Ce{s}_{p₀}\left(I\right)$ and $Ce{s}_{p₁}\left(I\right)$ for 1 < p₀ < p₁ ≤ ∞ and 1/p = (1 - θ)/p₀ + θ/p₁ with 0 < θ < 1, where I = [0,∞) or [0,1]. The same result is true for Cesàro sequence spaces. On the other hand, $Ce{s}_p[0,1]$ is not an interpolation space between Ces₁[0,1] and $Ce{s}_{\infty }[0,1]$.

Under some assumptions on the pair $(A_0,B_0)$, we study equivalence between interpolation properties of linear operators and monotonicity conditions for a pair (Y,Z) of rearrangement invariant quasi-Banach spaces when the extreme spaces of the interpolation are $L^{\infty }$. Weak and restricted weak intermediate spaces fall within our context. Applications to classical Lorentz and Lorentz-Orlicz spaces are given.

If C is a capacity on a measurable space, we prove that the restriction of the K-functional $K(t,f;L^p\left(C\right),L^{\infty }\left(C\right))$ to quasicontinuous functions f ∈ QC is equivalent to $K(t,f;L^p\left(C\right)\cap QC,L^{\infty }\left(C\right)\cap QC)$. We apply this result to identify the interpolation space ${(L^{p₀,q₀}\left(C\right)\cap QC,L^{p₁,q₁}\left(C\right)\cap QC)}_{\theta ,q}$.

Certain operator ideals are used to study interpolation of operators between spaces generated by the real method. Using orbital equivalence a new reiteration formula is proved for certain real interpolation spaces generated by ordered pairs of Banach lattices of the form $(X,L_{\infty }\left(w\right))$. As an application we extend Ovchinnikov’s interpolation theorem from the context of classical Lions-Peetre spaces to a larger class of real interpolation spaces. A description of certain abstract J-method spaces is also presented....
