Composition operators on Lizorkin-Triebel spaces (Q984413)

This paper deals with the composition operator \(T_f(g):=f\circ g\) in the Lizorkin-Triebel function spaces \(F^s_{p.q}({\mathbb R})\). The authors are mainly concerned with the difficult case corresponding to \(2<s<2+(1/p)\). The proofs use various Sobolev-type embedding theorems combined with the Peetre embedding property, which relates Lizorkin-Triebel spaces to the Wiener classes \(BV_p\). To find a good balance for the composition \(f \circ g\), the authors have splitted the norm in the Lizorkin-Triebel space into a lot of different pieces that are estimated separately. The most complicated part of the proof consists in finding the proper splitting of the norm of \( f \circ g\).
