A general wavelet-based profile decomposition in the critical embedding of function spaces

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: We characterize the lack of compactness in the critical embedding of functions spaces XsubsetY having similar scaling properties in the following terms : a sequence (un)ngeq0 bounded in X has a subsequence that can be expressed as a finite sum of translations and dilations of functions (phil)l>0 such that the remainder converges to zero in Y as the number of functions in the sum and n tend to +infty. Such a decomposition was established by G'erard for the embedding of the homogeneous Sobolev space X=dotHs into the Y=Lp in d dimensions with 0<s=d/2d/p, and then generalized by Jaffard to the case where X is a Riesz potential space, using wavelet expansions. In this paper, we revisit the wavelet-based profile decomposition, in order to treat a larger range of examples of critical embedding in a hopefully simplified way. In particular we identify two generic properties on the spaces X and Y that are of key use in building the profile decomposition. These properties may then easily be checked for typical choices of X and Y satisfying critical embedding properties. These includes Sobolev, Besov, Triebel-Lizorkin, Lorentz, H"older and BMO spaces.
