We introduce the new class of Besicovitch-Musielak-Orlicz almost periodic functions and consider its strict convexity with respect to the Luxemburg norm.

A short survey of results on classical Franklin system, Ciesielski systems and general Franklin systems is given. The principal role of the investigations of Z. Ciesielski in the development of these three topics is presented. Recent results on general Franklin systems are discussed in more detail. Some open problems are posed.

We prove some multi-dimensional Clarkson type inequalities for Banach spaces. The exact relations between such inequalities and the concepts of type and cotype are shown, which gives a conclusion in an extended setting to M. Milman's observation on Clarkson's inequalities and type. A similar investigation conceming the close connection between random Clarkson inequality and the corresponding concepts of type and cotype is also included. The obtained results complement, unify and generalize several...

We study orthogonal uniform convexity, a geometric property connected with property (β) of Rolewicz, P-convexity of Kottman, and the fixed point property (see [19, [20]). We consider the coefficient of orthogonal convexity in Köthe spaces and Köthe-Bochner spaces.

We prove the Schatten-Lorentz ideal criteria for commutators of multiplications and projections based on the Calderón reproducing formula and the decomposition theorem for the space of symbols corresponding to commutators in the Schatten ideal.

A classical theorem of Coifman, Rochberg, and Weiss on commutators of singular integrals is extended to the case of generalized Lp spaces with variable exponent.

Let $M_{\beta }$ be the fractional maximal function. The commutator generated by $M_{\beta }$ and a suitable function $b$ is defined by $[M_{\beta },b]f=M_{\beta }\left(bf\right)-b{M}_{\beta }\left(f\right)$. Denote by $𝒫\left({ℝ}^n\right)$ the set of all measurable functions $p(·):{ℝ}^n\to [1,\infty )$ such that $$1<p_{-}:=\underset{x\in {ℝ}^n}{\mathrm{ess}\inf }p\left(x\right)\text{and}{p}_{+}:=\underset{x\in {ℝ}^n}{\mathrm{ess}\sup }p\left(x\right)<\infty ,$$ and by $ℬ\left({ℝ}^n\right)$ the set of all $p(·)\in 𝒫\left({ℝ}^n\right)$ such that the Hardy-Littlewood maximal function $M$ is bounded on $L^{p(·)}\left({ℝ}^n\right)$. In this paper, the authors give some characterizations of $b$ for which $[M_{\beta },b]$ is bounded from $L^{p(·)}\left({ℝ}^n\right)$ into $L^{q(·)}\left({ℝ}^n\right)$, when $p(·)\in 𝒫\left({ℝ}^n\right)$, $0<\beta <n/p_{+}$ and $1/q(·)=1/p(·)-\beta /n$ with $q(·)(n-\beta )/n\in ℬ\left({ℝ}^n\right)$.

We characterize compact embeddings of Besov spaces $B_{p,r}^{0,b}\left({ℝ}^n\right)$ involving the zero classical smoothness and a slowly varying smoothness $b$ into Lorentz-Karamata spaces $L_{p,q;\overline{b}}\left(\Omega \right)$, where $\Omega$ is a bounded domain in ${ℝ}^n$ and $\overline{b}$ is another slowly varying function.
