This paper explores some important aspects of the theory of rearrangement-invariant quasi-Banach function spaces. We focus on two main topics. Firstly, we prove an analogue of the Luxemburg representation theorem for rearrangement-invariant quasi-Banach function spaces over resonant measure spaces. Secondly, we develop the theory of fundamental functions and endpoint spaces.
In this paper we explore some basic properties of quasi-Banach function spaces which are important in applications. Namely, we show that they posses a generalised version of Riesz--Fischer property, that embeddings between them are always continuous and that the dilation operator is bounded on them. We also provide a characterisation of separability for quasi-Banach function spaces over the Euclidean space. Furthermore, we extend the classical Riesz--Fischer theorem to the context of quasinormed spaces and, as a consequence, obtain an alternative proof of completeness of quasi-Banach function spaces.
A numerical procedure providing guaranteed two-sided bounds on the effective coefficients of elliptic partial differential operators is presented. The upper bounds are obtained in a standard manner through the variational formulation of the problem and by applying the finite element method. To obtain the lower bounds we formulate the dual variational problem and introduce appropriate approximation spaces employing the finite element method as well. We deal with the 3D setting, which has been rarely considered in the literature so far. The theoretical justification of the procedure is presented and supported with illustrative examples.
Consider a regular domain $Ω\subset \mathbb{R}^N$ and let $d(x)=\operatorname{dist}(x,\partialΩ)$. Denote $L^{1,\infty}_a(Ω)$ the space of functions from $L^{1,\infty}(Ω)$ having absolutely continuous quasinorms. This set is essentially smaller than $L^{1,\infty}(Ω)$ but, at the same time, essentially larger than a union of all $L^{1,q}(Ω)$, $q\in[1,\infty)$. A classical result of late 1980's states that for $p\in (1,\infty)$ and $m \in \mathbb{N}$, $u$ belongs to the Sobolev space $W^{m,p}_0(Ω)$ if and only if $u/d^m\in L^p(Ω)$ and $\left|\nabla^m u\right|\in L^p(Ω)$. During the consequent decades, several authors have spent considerable effort in order to relax the characterizing condition. Recently, it was proved that $u\in W^{m,p}_0(Ω)$ if and only if $u/d^m\in L^1(Ω)$ and $\left|\nabla^m u\right|\in L^p(Ω)$. In this paper we show that for $N\geq1$ and $p\in(1,\infty)$ we have $u\in W^{1,p}_0(Ω)$ if and only if $u/d\in L^{1,\infty}_a(Ω)$ and $\left|\nabla u\right|\in L^p(Ω)$. Moreover, we present a counterexample which demonstrates that after relaxing the condition $u/d\in L^{1,\infty}_a(Ω)$ to $u/d\in L^{1,\infty}(Ω)$ the equivalence no longer holds.
Given $1< p < q < \infty$ it is well know that the natural embedding of Lebesgue sequence spaces $\ell_p \hookrightarrow \ell_q$ is strictly singular. In this paper we extend this classical results and show that even the natural non-compact embedding between Lebesgue and weak Lebesgue sequence spaces $\ell_{p}\hookrightarrow \ell_{p,\infty}$ is strictly singular.
A metric space (X,d) is monotone if there is a linear order < on X and a constant c>0 such that d(x,y) < c d(x,z) for all x<y<z in X. Properties of continuous functions with monotone graph (considered as a planar set) are investigated. It is shown, e.g., that such a function can be almost nowhere differentiable, but must be differentiable at a dense set, and that Hausdorff dimension of the graph of such a function is 1.
