Differentiating Orlicz spaces with rectangles having fixed shapes in a set of directions (Q2658499)

Summary: In the present note, we examine the behavior of some homothecy-invariant differentiation basis of rectangles in the plane satisfying the following requirement: for a given rectangle to belong to the basis, the ratio of the largest of its side-lengths by the smallest one (which one calls its shape) has to be a fixed real number depending on the angle between its longest side and the horizontal line (yielding a shape-function). Depending on the allowed angles and the corresponding shape-function, a basis may differentiate various Orlicz spaces. We here give some examples of shape-functions so that the corresponding basis differentiates \(L \log (L(\mathbb{R}^2)\), and show that in some ``model'' situations, a fast-growing shape function (whose speed of growth depends on \(\alpha > 0\)) does not allow the differentiation of \(L \log^{\alpha}L(\mathbb R^2)\).
