Characterization of Orlicz–Sobolev space

We give a new characterization of the Orlicz–Sobolev space W1,Ψ(Rn) in terms of a pointwise inequality connected to the Young function Ψ. We also study different Poincaré inequalities in the metric measure space.

Orlicz–Sobolev extensions and measure density condition

Abstract We study the extension properties of Orlicz–Sobolev functions both in Euclidean spaces and in metric measure spaces equipped with a doubling measure. We show that a set E ⊂ R satisfying a measure density condition admits a bounded linear extension operator from the trace space W 1 , Ψ ( R n ) | E to W 1 , Ψ ( R n ) . Then we show that a domain, in which the Sobolev embedding theorem or a Poincare-type inequality holds, satisfies the measure density condition. It follows that the existence of a bounded, possibly non-linear extension operator or even the surjectivity of the trace operator implies the measure density condition and hence the existence of a bounded linear extension oper…

Smoothing properties of the discrete fractional maximal operator on Besov and Triebel-Lizorkin spaces

Motivated by the results of Korry, and Kinnunen and Saksman, we study the behaviour of the discrete fractional maximal operator on fractional Hajlasz spaces, Hajlasz-Besov, and Hajlasz-Triebel-Lizorkin spaces on metric measure spaces. We show that the discrete fractional maximal operator maps these spaces to the spaces of the same type with higher smoothness. Our results extend and unify aforementioned results. We present our results in a general setting, but they are new already in the Euclidean case.

A note on the dimensions of Assouad and Aikawa

We show that in Euclidean space and other regular metric spaces, the notions of dimensions defined by Assouad and Aikawa coincide. In addition, in more general metric spaces, we study the relationship between these two dimensions and a related codimension and give an application of the Aikawa (co)dimension for the Hardy inequalities.

Removable singularities for div v=f in weighted Lebesgue spaces

International audience; Let $w\in L^1_{loc}(\R^n)$ be apositive weight. Assuming that a doubling condition and an $L^1$ Poincar\'e inequality on balls for the measure $w(x)dx$, as well as a growth condition on $w$, we prove that the compact subsets of $\R^n$ which are removable for the distributional divergence in $L^{\infty}_{1/w}$ are exactly those with vanishing weighted Hausdorff measure. We also give such a characterization for $L^p_{1/w}$, $1<p<+\infty$, in terms of capacity. This generalizes results due to Phuc and Torres, Silhavy and the first author.

Sobolev embeddings, extensions and measure density condition

AbstractThere are two main results in the paper. In the first one, Theorem 1, we prove that if the Sobolev embedding theorem holds in Ω, in any of all the possible cases, then Ω satisfies the measure density condition. The second main result, Theorem 5, provides several characterizations of the Wm,p-extension domains for 1<p<∞. As a corollary we prove that the property of being a W1,p-extension domain, 1<p⩽∞, is invariant under bi-Lipschitz mappings, Theorem 8.

Fractional Hardy inequalities and visibility of the boundary

We prove fractional order Hardy inequalities on open sets under a combined fatness and visibility condition on the boundary. We demonstrate by counterexamples that fatness conditions alone are not sufficient for such Hardy inequalities to hold. In addition, we give a short exposition of various fatness conditions related to our main result, and apply fractional Hardy inequalities in connection to the boundedness of extension operators for fractional Sobolev spaces.

The De Giorgi measure and an obstacle problem related to minimal surfaces in metric spaces

Abstract We study the existence of a set with minimal perimeter that separates two disjoint sets in a metric measure space equipped with a doubling measure and supporting a Poincare inequality. A measure constructed by De Giorgi is used to state a relaxed problem, whose solution coincides with the solution to the original problem for measure theoretically thick sets. Moreover, we study properties of the De Giorgi measure on metric measure spaces and show that it is comparable to the Hausdorff measure of codimension one. We also explore the relationship between the De Giorgi measure and the variational capacity of order one. The theory of functions of bounded variation on metric spaces is us…

Fractional Maximal Functions in Metric Measure Spaces

Abstract We study the mapping properties of fractional maximal operators in Sobolev and Campanato spaces in metric measure spaces. We show that, under certain restrictions on the underlying metric measure space, fractional maximal operators improve the Sobolev regularity of functions and map functions in Campanato spaces to Hölder continuous functions. We also give an example of a space where fractional maximal function of a Lipschitz function fails to be continuous.

Approximation and quasicontinuity of Besov and Triebel–Lizorkin functions

We show that, for $0<s<1$, $0<p<\infty$, $0<q<\infty$, Haj\l asz-Besov and Haj\l asz-Triebel-Lizorkin functions can be approximated in the norm by discrete median convolutions. This allows us to show that, for these functions, the limit of medians, \[ \lim_{r\to 0}m_u^\gamma(B(x,r))=u^*(x), \] exists quasieverywhere and defines a quasicontinuous representative of $u$. The above limit exists quasieverywhere also for Haj\l asz functions $u\in M^{s,p}$, $0<s\le 1$, $0<p<\infty$, but approximation of $u$ in $M^{s,p}$ by discrete (median) convolutions is not in general possible.

Muckenhoupt $A_p$-properties of distance functions and applications to Hardy-Sobolev -type inequalities

Let $X$ be a metric space equipped with a doubling measure. We consider weights $w(x)=\operatorname{dist}(x,E)^{-\alpha}$, where $E$ is a closed set in $X$ and $\alpha\in\mathbb R$. We establish sharp conditions, based on the Assouad (co)dimension of $E$, for the inclusion of $w$ in Muckenhoupt's $A_p$ classes of weights, $1\le p<\infty$. With the help of general $A_p$-weighted embedding results, we then prove (global) Hardy-Sobolev inequalities and also fractional versions of such inequalities in the setting of metric spaces.
