Compact embeddings of Bessel-potential-type spaces into generalized Hölder spaces involving \(k\)-modulus of smoothness (Q628813)

Summary: We present conditions which are necessary and sufficient for compact embeddings of Bessel potential spaces \(H^{\sigma }\, X(\mathbb R^n)\), modelled upon a rearrangement-invariant Banach function spaces \(X(\mathbb R^n)\), into generalized Hölder spaces involving \(k\)-modulus of smoothness. To this end, we derive a characterization of compact subsets of generalized Hölder spaces. We apply our results to the case when \(X(\mathbb R^n)\) is a Lorentz-Karamata space \(L_{p,q;b}(\mathbb R^n)\). Applications cover both superlimiting and limiting cases.
