Embeddings of concave functions and duals of Lorentz spaces. (Q1860943): Difference between revisions

Let \(L^+\) denote the collection of all nonnegative Lebesgue measurable functions on \((0,\infty)\) and let \[ H^0_p h(x)= \int^\infty_0 \min\Biggl(\Biggl({t\over x}\Biggr)^p, 1\Biggr) h(t)\,dt \] for \(h\in L^+\). If \(v\in L^+\), then the weighted Lebesgue space \(L^p_v\) is the collection of Lebesgue measurable functions \(f\) on \((0,\infty)\) for which \[ \| f\|_{p,v}= \begin{cases} (\int^\infty_0| f|^p v)^{1/p},\quad & 0< p< \infty,\\ \text{ess\,sup}_{\{x: v(x)> 0\}}| f(x)|,\quad & p= \infty\end{cases} \] is finite. We write \(f\in \Omega_{0,1}\) if \(f\in L^+\), \(f\) is nondecreasing and \({f(x)\over x}\) is nonincreasing. One of the results is the following: Suppose that \(0< q< p<\infty\), \({1\over r}= {1\over q}-{1\over p}\) and \(u,v\in L^+\). Then there are positive constants \(k\) and \(K\) such that \[ k\sup_{f\in\Omega_{0,1}} {\| f\|_{q,u}\over\| f\|_{p,v}}\leq \Biggl(\int^\infty_0 (H^0_p v)^{-r/p}(H^0_q u)^{r/p} u\Biggr)^{1/r}\leq K\sup_{f\in \Omega_{0,1}} {\| f\|_{q,u}\over\| f\|_{p,v}}. \]
