Compactness of Sobolev embeddings and decay of norms

We investigate the relationship between the compactness of embeddings of Sobolev spaces built upon rearrangement-invariant spaces into rearrangement-invariant spaces endowed with $d$-Ahlfors measures under certain restriction on the speed of its decay on balls. We show that the gateway to compactness of such embeddings, while formally describable by means of optimal embeddings and almost-compact embeddings, is quite elusive. It is known that such a Sobolev embedding is not compact when its target space has the optimal fundamental function. We show that, quite surprisingly, such a target space can actually be "fundamentally enlarged", and yet the resulting embedding remains noncompact. In order to do that, we develop two different approaches. One is based on enlarging the optimal target space itself, and the other is based on enlarging the Marcinkiewicz space corresponding to the optimal fundamental function.

Measure of noncompactness of Sobolev embeddings on strip-like domains

We compute the precise value of the measure of noncompactness of Sobolev embeddings $W_0^{1,p}(D)\hookrightarrow L^p(D)$, $p\in(1,\infty)$, on strip-like domains $D$ of the form $\mathbb{R}^k\times\prod\limits_{i=1}^{n-k}(a_i,b_i)$. We show that such embeddings are always maximally noncompact, that is, their measure of noncompactness coincides with their norms. Furthermore, we show that not only the measure of noncompactness but also all strict $s$-numbers of the embeddings in question coincide with their norms. We also prove that the maximal noncompactness of Sobolev embeddings on strip-like domains remains valid even when Sobolev-type spaces built upon general rearrangement-invariant spaces are considered. As a by-product we obtain the explicit form for the first eigenfunction of the pseudo-$p$-Laplacian on an $n$-dimensional rectangle.

Poincaré-Sobolev inequalities with rearrangement-invariant norms on the entire space

Poincaré-Sobolev-type inequalities involving rearrangement-invariant norms on the entire $\mathbb{R}^n$ are provided. Namely, inequalities of the type $\|u-P\|_{Y(\mathbb{R}^n)}\leq C\|\nabla^m u\|_{X(\mathbb{R}^n)}$, where $X$ and $Y$ are either rearrangement-invariant spaces over $\mathbb{R}^n$ or Orlicz spaces over $\mathbb{R}^n$, $u$ is a $m-$times weakly differentiable function whose gradient is in $X$, $P$ is a polynomial of order at most $m-1$, depending on $u$, and $C$ is a constant independent of $u$, are studied. In a sense optimal rearrangement-invariant spaces or Orlicz spaces $Y$ in these inequalities when the space $X$ is fixed are found. A variety of particular examples for customary function spaces are also provided.

Embeddings of homogeneous Sobolev spaces on the entire space

We completely characterize the validity of the inequality $\|u\|_{Y(\mathbb{R}^n)}\leq C \|\nabla^m u\|_{X(\mathbb{R}^n)}$, where $X$ and $Y$ are rearrangement-invariant spaces, by reducing it to a considerably simpler one-dimensional inequality. Furthermore, we fully describe the optimal rearrangement-invariant space on either side of the inequality when the space on the other side is fixed. We also solve the same problem within the environment in which the competing spaces are Orlicz spaces. A variety of examples involving customary function spaces suitable for applications is also provided.

Boundedness of classical operators on rearrangement-invariant spaces

We study the behaviour on rearrangement-invariant spaces of such classical operators of interest in harmonic analysis as the Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator (including the fractional version), the Hilbert and Stieltjes transforms, and the Riesz potential. The focus is on sharpness questions, and we present characterisations of the optimal domain (or range) partner spaces when the range (domain) is fixed. When a rearrangement-invariant partner space exists at all, a complete characterisation of the situation is given. We illustrate the results with a variety of examples of sharp particular results involving customary function spaces.
