Local grand variable exponent Lebesgue spaces (Q6082490)

Let \(\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n\) be an open set, \(F \subset \bar{\Omega}\) be a closed non-empty set with measure zero, \(p\) a measurable exponent with \(1 \leqslant p_{-}<p_{+}<\infty\) and \(\theta>0\). Assume that \(a\) is a function in \(G\left(\mathbb{R}_{+}\right)\), the set of non-negative functions \(a\) in \(L^{\infty}\left(\mathbb{R}_{+}\right)\) such that \begin{itemize} \item [(i)] \(a\) is continuous in a neighborhood of the origin with \(a(0+)=0\); \item [(ii)] \(\inf _{t \in(\kappa, \infty)} a(t)>0\) for every \(\kappa \in \mathbb{R}_{+}\). \end{itemize} Define the local grand variable exponent Lebesgue space \(L_{F, a}^{p(\cdot)), \theta}(\Omega)\) by \[ \begin{aligned} L_{F, a, \ell}^{p(\cdot)), \theta}(\Omega) & =L_{F, a}^{p(\cdot)), \theta}(\Omega) \\ & =\left\{f \in L^0(\Omega) \mid \sup _{0<\varepsilon<\ell} \varepsilon^\theta\left\|f(\cdot)\left[a\left(\delta_F(\cdot)\right)\right]^{\varepsilon}\right\|_{L^{p(\cdot)}(\Omega)}<\infty\right\}, \end{aligned} \] where \(\delta_F(x):=\inf _{y \in F}|x-y|\). In the paper under review, the authors first show that for any quasi-monotone functions \(a\), \(b\) on \((0, \kappa)\) for some \(\kappa \in(0, \infty)\), if their Matuszewska-Orlicz indices satisfy that \(0<m(a) \leqslant M(a)<\infty\) and \(0<m(b) \leqslant M(b)<\infty\), then \[ L_{F, a}^{p(\cdot)), \theta}(\Omega)=L_{F, b}^{p(\cdot)), \theta}(\Omega), \] with equivalence of norms. Moreover, the authors also show that the centered Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator, singular operators, and maximal singular operators are all bounded on such spaces.
