Equimodular and linearity in modular spaces. (Q1408787): Difference between revisions

Let \(X_\rho\) and \(Y_\rho\) be two modular spaces generated by modulars \(\rho_X\) and \(\rho_Y\), respectively. The authors consider the question when \(\rho\) is an inverting modular for the norm (\(F\)-norm) in \(X\), and the problem of sufficient conditions in order that a mapping \(T: X_\rho\to Y_\rho\) be affine. The key role is played by the notion of a \(\delta\)-equimodular mapping \(T\), i.e., a map \(T\) such that for every \(x,y\in X_\rho\) with \(\rho_X(x- y)< \delta\), \(\rho_Y(Tx- Ty)= \rho_X(x- y)\) holds. It is proved that if \((X,\rho_X)\), \((Y,\rho_Y)\) are \(\beta\)-positive homogeneous \((0< \beta\leq 1)\) and a surjection \(T: X_\rho\to Y_\rho\) is \(\delta\)-equimodular, then \(T\) is affine in \(XJ_\rho\).
