In this note we present a result on compactness in certain Banach spaces of vector valued functions. We demonstrate an application of this result to the questions of existence of solutions of nonlinear differential inclusions on a Banach space.

We study compactness and related topological properties in the space L¹(m) of a Banach space valued measure m when the natural topologies associated to convergence of vector valued integrals are considered. The resulting topological spaces are shown to be angelic and the relationship of compactness and equi-integrability is explored. A natural norming subset of the dual unit ball of L¹(m) appears in our discussion and we study when it is a boundary. The (almost) complete continuity of the integration...

We consider a generalized Hardy operator $Tf\left(x\right)=\varphi \left(x\right){ʃ}_0^x\psi fv$. For T to be bounded from a weighted Banach function space (X,v) into another, (Y,w), it is always necessary that the Muckenhoupt-type condition $ℬ=su{p}_{R>0}\parallel \varphi {\chi }_{(R,\infty )}{\parallel }_Y\parallel \psi {\chi }_{(0,R)}{\parallel }_{X^{\text{'}}}<\infty$ be satisfied. We say that (X,Y) belongs to the category M(T) if this Muckenhoupt condition is also sufficient. We prove a general criterion for compactness of T from X to Y when (X,Y) ∈ M(T) and give an estimate for the distance of T from the finite rank operators. We apply the results to Lorentz spaces and characterize...

We find necessary and sufficient conditions on a pair of rearrangement-invariant norms, ϱ and σ, in order that the Sobolev space $W^{m,\varrho }\left(\Omega \right)$ be compactly imbedded into the rearrangement-invariant space $L_{\sigma }\left(\Omega \right)$, where Ω is a bounded domain in ℝⁿ with Lipschitz boundary and 1 ≤ m ≤ n-1. In particular, we establish the equivalence of the compactness of the Sobolev imbedding with the compactness of a certain Hardy operator from $L_{\varrho }(0,|\Omega \left|\right)$ into $L_{\sigma }(0,|\Omega \left|\right)$. The results are illustrated with examples in which ϱ and σ are both Orlicz norms...

Orlicz-Lorentz spaces provide a common generalization of Orlicz spaces and Lorentz spaces. They have been studied by many authors, including Mastyło, Maligranda, and Kamińska. In this paper, we consider the problem of comparing the Orlicz-Lorentz norms, and establish necessary and sufficient conditions for them to be equivalent. As a corollary, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for a Lorentz-Sharpley space to be equivalent to an Orlicz space, extending results of Lorentz and Raynaud. We...

Let [Lambda] be a barrelled perfect (in the sense of J. Dieudonné) Köthe space of measurable functions defined on an atomless finite Radon measure space. Let X be a Banach space containing a copy of c0, then the space [Lambda(X)] of [Lambda]-Bochner integrable functions contains a complemented copy of c0.

We prove that the direct sum and the product of countably many copies of L1[0, 1] are primary locally convex spaces. We also give some related results.

We describe the complete interpolating sequences for the Paley-Wiener spaces Lπp (1 &lt; p &lt; ∞) in terms of Muckenhoupt's (Ap) condition. For p = 2, this description coincides with those given by Pavlov [9], Nikol'skii [8] and Minkin [7] of the unconditional bases of complex exponentials in L2(-π,π). While the techniques of these authors are linked to the Hilbert space geometry of Lπ2, our method of proof is based in turning the problem into one about boundedness of the Hilbert transform...

We give sufficient and necessary conditions for complex extreme points of the unit ball of Orlicz-Lorentz spaces, as well as we find criteria for the complex rotundity and uniform complex rotundity of these spaces. As an application we show that the set of norm-attaining operators is dense in the space of bounded linear operators from $d{*}_{(}w,1)$ into d(w,1), where $d{*}_{(}w,1)$ is a predual of a complex Lorentz sequence space d(w,1), if and only if wi ∈ c₀∖ℓ₂.

Let Ω,Ω’ ⊂ ℝⁿ be domains and let f: Ω → Ω’ be a homeomorphism. We show that if the composition operator $T_f:u\mapsto u\circ f$ maps the Sobolev-Lorentz space $W{L}^{n,q}\left({\Omega }^{\text{'}}\right)$ to $W{L}^{n,q}\left(\Omega \right)$ for some q ≠ n then f must be a locally bilipschitz mapping.
