Characterizations of predual spaces to a class of Sobolev multiplier type spaces (Q2067060)

This paper is devoted to the Sobolev multiplier type space, \(M_p^{ \alpha, s } ( \mathbb{R}^n )\), \(\alpha > 0\), \(s > 1\), \(p \ge 1\), which consists of functions \(f \in L^p_{\mathrm{loc}} ( \mathbb{R}^n )\) such that the trace inequality \begin{align*} \left( \int_{ \mathbb{R}^n } | u |^s | f |^p \, d x \right)^{ 1 / p } \le C \| u \|_{ H^{ \alpha, s } }^{ s / p } \end{align*} holds for all \(u \in C_c^\infty ( \mathbb{R}^n )\). The norm \(\| f \|_{ M_p^{ \alpha, s } ( \mathbb{R}^n ) }\) of a function \(f \in M_p^{ \alpha, s } ( \mathbb{R}^n )\) is defined as the least possible constant \(C\) in the above inequality. In this paper, some equivalent norms over \(M_p^{ \alpha, s } ( \mathbb{R}^n )\) are given and the theory of preduality of \(M_p^{ \alpha, s } ( \mathbb{R}^n )\) is established by the authors. In addition, the boundedness of singular integral operators on the preduals of \(M_p^{ \alpha, s } ( \mathbb{R}^n )\) is also discussed in the paper.
