Sobolev embeddings for Riesz potential spaces of variable exponents near 1 and Sobolev's exponent (Q846344)

Let \(G\) be a bounded Borel set in \(\mathbb{R}^n\). Let \(f\) be a function from the generalized Orlicz space \(\Phi(\cdot,\cdot)(G)\) generated by the function \(\Phi(x,t)= t^{p(x)}(\log(c+ t))^{q(x)}\), \(x\in G\), \(t\in\mathbb{R}^n\), where the variable powers \(p(x)\), \(q(x)\) satisfy suitable Hölder conditions. The main result is a generalization of the Sobolev inequality for the Riesz potential \[ I_\alpha f(x)= \int_{\mathbb{R}^n} |x-y|^{\alpha-n} f(y)\,dy \] to the case of \(f\in \Phi(\cdot,\cdot)(G)\).
