We give a description of the dual of a Calderón-Lozanovskiĭ intermediate space φ(X,Y) of a couple of Banach Köthe function spaces as an intermediate space ψ(X*,Y*) of the duals, associated with a "variable" function ψ.

Several conditions are given under which l1 embeds as a complemented subspace of a Banach space E if it embeds as a complemented subspace of an Orlicz space of E-valued functions. Previous results in Pisier (1978) and Bombal (1987) are extended in this way.

This paper is devoted to embedding theorems for classes of functions of several variables. One of our main objectives is to give an analysis of some basic embeddings as well as to study relations between them. We also discuss some methods in this theory that were developed in the last decades. These methods are based on non-increasing rearrangements of functions, iterated rearrangements, estimates of sections of functions, related mixed norms, and molecular decompositions.

For a locally compact Hausdorff space K and a Banach space X let C₀(K, X) denote the space of all continuous functions f:K → X which vanish at infinity, equipped with the supremum norm. If X is the scalar field, we denote C₀(K, X) simply by C₀(K). We prove that for locally compact Hausdorff spaces K and L and for a Banach space X containing no copy of c₀, if there is an isomorphic embedding of C₀(K) into C₀(L,X), then either K is finite or |K| ≤ |L|. As a consequence, if there is an isomorphic embedding...

In this paper we study embedding theorems for function classes which are subclasses of $L_p$, 1 ≤ p ≤ ∞. To define these classes, we use the notion of best trigonometric approximation as well as that of a (λ,β)-derivative, which is the generalization of a fractional derivative. Estimates of best approximations of transformed Fourier series are obtained.

We prove the equivalence of Nash type and super log Sobolev inequalities for Dirichlet forms. We also show that both inequalities are equivalent to Orlicz-Sobolev type inequalities. No ultracontractivity of the semigroup is assumed. It is known that there is no equivalence between super log Sobolev or Nash type inequalities and ultracontractivity. We discuss Davies-Simon's counterexample as the borderline case of this equivalence and related open problems.

Si definisce un nuovo tipo di spazi a partire da un dato spazio di Banach $X$ e da un operatore lineare $A$ in $X$. Tali spazi si possono pensare come spazi di interpolazione $D_A(\vartheta )$ con $\vartheta$ negativo.

In the paper we consider a class of Orlicz spaces equipped with the Orlicz norm over a non-negative, complete and sigma-finite measure space (T,Sigma,mu), which covers, among others, Orlicz spaces isomorphic to L-infinite and the interpolation space L1 + L-infinite. We give some necessary conditions for a point x from the unit sphere to be extreme. Applying this characterization, in the case of an atomless measure mu, we find a description of the set of extreme points of L1 + L-infinite which corresponds...

Mixtures are convex combinations of laws. Despite this simple definition, a mixture can be far more subtle than its mixed components. For instance, mixing gaussian laws may produce a potential with multiple deep wells. We study in the present work fine properties of mixtures with respect to concentration of measure and Sobolev type functional inequalities. We provide sharp Laplace bounds for Lipschitz functions in the case of generic mixtures, involving a transportation cost diameter of the mixed...

Assume $f_1,...,f_N$ a finite set of functions in $H^{\infty }\left(D\right)$, the space of bounded analytic functions on the open unit disc. We give a sufficient condition on a function $f$ in $H^{\infty }\left(D\right)$ to belong to the norm-closure of the ideal $I(f_1,...,f_N)$ generated by $f_1,...,f_N$, namely the property$$\left|f\right(z\left)\right|\le \alpha \left(\right|f_1\left(z\right)|+...+|f_N\left(z\right)\left|\right)\text{for}z\in D$$for some function $\alpha$ : ${\mathbf{R}}_{+}\to {\mathbf{R}}_{+}$ satisfying ${lim}_{t\to 0}\alpha \left(t\right)/t=0.$ The main feature in the proof is an improvement in the contour-construction appearing in L. Carleson’s solution of the corona-problem. It is also shown that the property$$\left|f\left(z\right)\right|\le C\underset{1\le j\le N}{max}\left|f_j\left(z\right)\right|\text{for}z\in D$$for some constant $C$, does not necessary imply that $f$ is...
