Review text

Capacities for Sobolev-Orlicz spaces, with derivatives belonging to the Orlicz space \(L^p(\log(e + L))^\theta\) have appeared in the literature in the last decade. A first version appeared in the paper by \textit{N. Aissauoi} and \textit{A. Benkirane} [Ann. Sci. Math. Qué. 18, 1-23 (1994; Zbl 0822.31006)], then in the paper by \textit{S. E. Kuznetsov} [J. Funct. Anal. 170, 428-449 (2000; Zbl 0942.35073)] and also in the paper by the authors [J. Funct. Anal. 197, 162-178 (2003; Zbl 1029.46021)]. The purpose of the paper under review is to determine the relationships between these various versions. For \(\alpha p = n\) and \(E \subset B^n(0,R_0)\), capacities \({\mathcal B}_{\alpha ,\Phi}\) and \({\mathcal P}_{\alpha, \Phi}\) are defined by \[ {\mathcal B}_{\alpha, \Phi}(E) = \inf \left\{ \int \Phi(f) dx: f(x) \geq 0, \;(G_{\alpha} \ast f)(x) \geq 1, \;x \in E \right\}, \] where \(B^n(x_0,r)\) is the ball in \(\mathbb{R}^n\) of radius \(r\) around \(x_0\), \(G_{\alpha}\) is the Bessel kernel, \(\alpha > 0\), and \[ {\mathcal P}_{\alpha, \Phi}(E) = \inf \left \{ \|f\|_{L^\Phi}: f(x) \geq 0,\;(G_{\alpha} \ast f)(x) \geq 1,\;x \in E \right \}, \] where \(\|f\|_{L^\Phi} < \infty \) is the Luxemburg norm on \(L^\Phi\) and \(\Phi(t) = t^p\log(e + t))^\theta \), \(t > 0\), \(0 \leq \theta \leq n -1\), \(\alpha p = n\). In Theorem 2.3, a comparison between \({\mathcal P}_{\alpha, \Phi}(E)^p\) and \({\mathcal B}_{\alpha, \Phi}(E)\) is shown whenever \({\mathcal P}_{\alpha, \Phi}(E) < \frac{1}{e}\), for some values of the parameters. As a consequence, it follows that both capacities have the same null sets. In Theorem 3.2, it is established that Kuznetsov's capacity \(b_{\alpha, \Phi}\) is comparable to \({\mathcal P}_{\alpha, \Phi}\) for subsets \(E\) of balls centered at the origin. In Theorem 3.5, it is proven that \({\mathcal B}_{\alpha, \Phi}(E)^{1/p} \leq C b_{\alpha, \Phi}(E)\).
