Fractional integration operator of variable order in the Hölder spaces \(H^{\lambda (x)}\) (Q1902930)

The paper deals with the mapping properties of the generalized Riemann-Liouville fractional integration operators \[ I_{a+}^{\alpha(x)} \varphi= {1\over {\Gamma (\alpha (x))}} \int^x_0 \varphi(t) (x-t)^{\alpha(x)-1} dt \qquad (-\infty< a<b< +\infty) \] of variable order \(\alpha (x)>0\) in generalized Hölder spaces \(H^{\lambda (x)} [a,b ]\), the order \(\lambda (x)\) \((0< \lambda(x)\leq 1)\) of which also depends on the point \(x\). The main result is the theorem on the behavior of the operator \(I_{a+}^{\alpha (x)}\) in the space \(H^{\lambda (x)} [a,b ]\). This statement generalizes the well-known Hardy-Littlewood theorem for the Riemann-Liouville fractional integrals in usual Hölder spaces [see Theorem 3.1 in the book by \textit{S. G. Samko}, the reviewer and \textit{O. I. Marichev}: ``Integrals and derivatives of fractional order and some of their applications'' (1987; Zbl 0617.26004; English translation 1993; Zbl 0818.26003)].
