Hardy operators, function spaces and embeddings

From MaRDI portal





The book contains quite recent results concerning Sobolev spaces, integral inequalities for Hardy-type operators on intervals and on trees, and asymptotic estimates of approximation numbers and the measure of non-compactness of these operators and of embeddings of Sobolev spaces. It is divided into 6 chapters. Chapter 1 contains some preliminary results which are used in the following chapters. In Chapter 2, the authors study various properties (boundedness, compactness, asymptotic estimates of approximation numbers, a measure of non-compactness) of Hardy-type operators on intervals or on trees. Let us mention that a Hardy-type operator \(T\) on an interval \((a,b)\) has the form \(Tf(x)=v(x)\int_ a^ xu(t)f(t)\,dt\), \(x\in(a,b)\) (\(v\), \(u\) are given non-negative measurable functions which satisfy certain integrability conditions). In Chapter 3, an account of Banach function spaces (whose most important special cases are Orlicz spaces, Lorentz spaces and rearrangement invariant Banach function spaces of Lorentz-Karamata type) and Sobolev spaces based on them is given. Chapter 4 provides a discussion of Poincaré\ inequalities in the general setting of spaces \(W(X,Y)\) of Sobolev type (here \(X\), \(Y\) are Banach function spaces on a bounded domain \(\Omega\) in \(\mathbb R^ n\), \(W(X,Y)\) is the set of all \(f\in X\) with distributional gradient in \(Y\)). Connections are made between the Poincaré\ inequality and the measure of non-compactness of the embedding of \(W(X,Y)\) in \(X\). Many illustrative examples are given, including the cases in which \(X\) and \(Y\) are of Lebesgue or Orlicz type. In Chapter 5, the authors study function spaces on generalized ridged domains. They deal with embeddings of the type \(W(X,Y)\hookrightarrow Z\) where \(X\), \(Y\) and \(Z\) are Banach function spaces on a generalized ridged domain \(\Omega\). Similar questions as in the previous chapter are discussed. Note that the results about the Hardy-type operators on trees (from Chapter 2) are applied here in a very natural way. Chapter 6 is devoted to approximation numbers of Sobolev emebddings when the underlying space domain is a generalized ridged domain. Upper and lower estimates for these numbers are derived. The book will be of interest to all those who are concerned with the theory of function spaces of Sobolev type and its application to partial differential equations.
