Let f, g be in the analytic function ring Hol(𝔻) over the unit disk 𝔻. We say that f ⪯ g if there exist M > 0 and 0 < r < 1 such that |f(z)| ≤ M|g(z)| whenever r < |z| < 1. Let X be a Hilbert space contained in Hol(𝔻). Then X is called an ordered Hilbert space if f ⪯ g and g ∈ X imply f ∈ X. In this note, we mainly study the connection between an ordered analytic Hilbert space and its reproducing kernel. We also consider when an invariant subspace of the whole space X is similar...

Let ω denote the set of natural numbers. We prove: for every mod-finite ascending chain $T_{\alpha }:\alpha <\lambda$ of infinite subsets of ω, there exists $ℳ\subset {\left[\omega \right]}^{\omega }$, an infinite maximal almost disjoint family (MADF) of infinite subsets of the natural numbers, such that the Stone-Čech remainder βψ∖ψ of the associated ψ-space, ψ = ψ(ω,ℳ ), is homeomorphic to λ + 1 with the order topology. We also prove that for every λ < ⁺, where is the tower number, there exists a mod-finite ascending chain $T_{\alpha }:\alpha <\lambda$, hence a ψ-space with Stone-Čech remainder...

Let ϕ and ψ be functions defined on [0,∞) taking the value zero at zero and with non-negative continuous derivative. Under very mild extra assumptions we find necessary and sufficient conditions for the fractional maximal operator $M_{\Omega }^{\alpha }$, associated to an open bounded set Ω, to be bounded from the Orlicz space $L^{\psi }\left(\Omega \right)$ into $L^{\varphi }\left(\Omega \right)$, 0 ≤ α < n. For functions ϕ of finite upper type these results can be extended to the Hilbert transform f̃ on the one-dimensional torus and to the fractional integral operator $I_{\Omega }^{\alpha }$, 0...

We study the sequence $u_n$, which is solution of $-div\left(a(x,𝔻u_n)\right)+{\Phi }^{\text{'}\text{'}}\left(\right|u_n\left|\right)u_n=f_n+g_n$ in $\Omega$ an open bounded set of ${𝐑}^N$ and $u_n=0$ on $\partial \Omega$, when $f_n$ tends to a measure concentrated on a set of null Orlicz-capacity. We consider the relation between this capacity and the $N$-function $\Phi$, and prove a non-existence result.

We study the sequence un, which is solution of $-\mathrm{div}\left(a(x,\nabla u_n)\right)+{\Phi }^{\text{'}\text{'}}\left(\right|u_n\left|\right)u_n=f_n+g_n$ in Ω an open bounded set of RN and un= 0 on ∂Ω, when fn tends to a measure concentrated on a set of null Orlicz-capacity. We consider the relation between this capacity and the N-function Φ, and prove a non-existence result.

Let $M$ be a von Neumann algebra, let $\varphi$ be a weight on $M$ and let $\Phi$ be $N$-function satisfying the $({\delta }_2,{\Delta }_2)$-condition. In this paper we study Orlicz spaces, associated with $M$, $\varphi$ and $\Phi$.

Let M be the Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator defined by:Mf(x) = supx ∈ Q 1/|Q| ∫Q |f| dx, (f ∈ Lloc(Rn)),where the supreme is taken over all cubes Q containing x and |Q| is the Lebesgue measure of Q. In this paper we characterize the Orlicz spaces Lφ*, associated to N-functions φ, such that M is bounded in Lφ*. We prove that this boundedness is equivalent to the complementary N-function ψ of φ satisfying the Δ2-condition in [0,∞), that is, sups&gt;0 ψ(2s) / ψ(s) &lt; ∞.

We prove some quantitatively sharp estimates concerning the Δ₂ and ∇₂ conditions for functions which generalize known ones. The sharp forms arise in the connection between Orlicz space theory and the theory of elliptic partial differential equations.

We prove basic properties of Orlicz-Morrey spaces and give a necessary and sufficient condition for boundedness of the Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator M from one Orlicz-Morrey space to another. For example, if f ∈ L(log L)(ℝⁿ), then Mf is in a (generalized) Morrey space (Example 5.1). As an application of boundedness of M, we prove the boundedness of generalized fractional integral operators, improving earlier results of the author.
