Besov spaces with positive smoothness on \(\mathbb R^n\), embeddings and growth envelopes (Q1048987)

Let \(B^s_{pq} (\mathbb R^n)\) be the Fourier-analytically defined Besov spaces in \(\mathbb R^n\), where \(0<p,q \leq \infty\), \(s \in \mathbb R\). Alternatively, one can introduce Besov spaces \({\mathbf B}^s_{pq} (\mathbb R^n)\) with \(0<p,q \leq \infty\), \(s>0\), as subspaces of \(L_p (\mathbb R^n)\), quasi-normed by \[ \|f | L_p (\mathbb R^n) \| + \bigg( \int^1_0 t^{-sq} \sup_{|h| \leq t} \big\| \Delta^r_h f|L_p (\mathbb R^n) \big\|^q \frac{dt}{t} \bigg)^{1/q}, \] where \(\Delta^r_h f\) with \(s<r \in \mathbb N\), are the usual differences. For all these spaces, one has atomic and subatomic decompositions. The paper uses these new means for a detailed study especially of the spaces \({\mathbf B}^s_{pq} (\mathbb R^n)\), covering embeddings between these spaces and into Lorentz-Zygmund spaces, real interpolation and comparison with \(B^s_{pq} (\mathbb R^n)\). Special attention is paid to a detailed investigation of the singularity behaviour of functions belonging to \({\mathbf B}^s_{pq} (\mathbb R^n)\) expressed in terms of the so-called growth envelope function \[ \{ f^* (t):\|f|{\mathbf B}^s_{pq} (\mathbb R^n) \| \leq 1 \}, \quad t>0, \] where \(f^* (t)\) is the rearrangement of \(f\).
