The aim of these lectures is to present a survey of some results on spaces of functions with dominating mixed smoothness. These results concern joint work with Winfried Sickel and Miroslav Krbec as well as the work which has been done by Jan Vybíral within his thesis. The first goal is to discuss the Fourier-analytical approach, equivalent characterizations with the help of derivatives and differences, local means, atomic and wavelet decompositions. Secondly, on this basis we study approximation...

We prove that ridgelet transform $R:𝒮\left({ℝ}^2\right)\to 𝒮\left(𝕐\right)$ and adjoint ridgelet transform $R^{*}:𝒮\left(𝕐\right)\to 𝒮\left({ℝ}^2\right)$ are continuous, where $𝕐={ℝ}^{+}\times ℝ\times [0,2\pi ]$. We also define the ridgelet transform $ℛ$ on the space ${𝒮}^{\text{'}}\left({ℝ}^2\right)$ of tempered distributions on ${ℝ}^2$, adjoint ridgelet transform ${ℛ}^{*}$ on ${𝒮}^{\text{'}}\left(𝕐\right)$ and establish that they are linear, continuous with respect to the weak${}^{*}$-topology, consistent with $R$, $R^{*}$ respectively, and they satisfy the identity $({ℛ}^{*}\circ ℛ)\left(u\right)=u$, $u\in {𝒮}^{\text{'}}\left({ℝ}^2\right)$.
