Integral representations and transforms of -functions. II.
The interpolation properties of Cesàro sequence and function spaces are investigated. It is shown that is an interpolation space between and 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, is not an interpolation space between Ces₁[0,1] and .
Under some assumptions on the pair , 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 . 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 to quasicontinuous functions f ∈ QC is equivalent to . We apply this result to identify the interpolation space .
We study a problem of interpolating a linear operator which is bounded on some family of characteristic functions. A new example is given of a Banach couple of function spaces for which such interpolation is possible. This couple is of the form where B is an arbitrary Banach lattice of measurable functions on a σ-finite nonatomic measure space (Ω,Σ,μ). We also give an equivalent expression for the norm of a function ⨍ in the real interpolation space in terms of the characteristic functions of...
