For a Borel-measurable function f : R ! R satisfying f(0) = 0 and Z sup t−1 sup jf 0(x + h) − f 0(x)jp dx < +1; (0 < p < +1); t>0 R jh|≤t s n we study the composition operator Tf (g) := f◦g on Triebel-Lizorkin spaces Fp;q(R ) in the case 0 < s < 1 + (1=p). 1. Introduction and the main result The study of the composition operator Tf : g ! f ◦ g associated to a Borel- s n measurable function f : R ! R on Triebel-Lizorkin spaces Fp;q(R ), consists in finding a characterization of the functions f such that s n s n (1.1) Tf (Fp;q(R )) ⊆ Fp;q(R ): The investigation to establish (1.1) was improved by several works, for example the papers of Adams and Frazier [1,2 ], Brezis and Mironescu [6], Maz'ya and Shaposnikova [9], Runst and Sickel [12] and [10]. There were obtained some necessary conditions on f; from which we recall the following results. For s > 0, 1 < p < +1 and 1 ≤ q ≤ +1 n s n s n • if Tf takes L1(R ) \ Fp;q(R ) to Fp;q(R ), then f is locally Lipschitz con- tinuous. n s n • if Tf takes the Schwartz space S(R ) to Fp;q(R ), then f belongs locally to s Fp;q(R). The first assertion is proved in [3, Theorem 3.1]. The proof of the second assertion can be found in [12, Theorem 2, 5.3.1]. 1 Bourdaud and Kateb [4] introduced the functions class Up (R), the set of Lipschitz continuous functions f such that their derivatives, in the sense of distri- butions, satisfy Z 1=p 0 −1 0 0 p (1.2) Ap(f ) := sup t sup jf (x + h) − f (x)j dx < +1; t>0 R jh|≤t Received August 8, 2011; revised February 17, 2012. 2010 Mathematics Subject Classification.

MOUSSAI and are endowed with the seminorm kfk 1 := inf(kgk + A (g)); Up (R) 1 p where the infimum is taken over all functions g such that f is a primitive of g. In s n [4] the authors, proved the acting of the operator Tf on Besov space Bp;q(R ) for 1 1 ≤ p < +1, 1 < s < 1 + (1=p) and f 2 Up (R) with f(0) = 0. In [5] the same result holds for 0 < s < 1 + (1=p). s n In this work we will study the composition operator Tf on Fp;q(R ) for a func- 1 tion f which belongs to Up (R), then we will obtain a result of type (1.1). To do n n this, we introduce the set Vp(R ) of the functions g : R ! R such that n Z 1=p X p 0 kgk n := kg 0 k 1 dx < +1 Vp(R ) xj BV ( ) j n−1 p R j=1 R 1 where BVp (R) is the Wiener space of the primitives of functions of bounded p-variation (see Subsection 2.2 below for the definition) and n (1.3) g 0 (y) := g(x ; : : : ; x ; y; x ; : : : ; x ); y 2 ; x 2 : xj 1 j−1 j+1 n R R We will prove the following statement.

(i) Since Fp;q(R ) ,! Lp(R ), then Tf maps from Fp;q(R ) \Vp(R ) s n to Fp;q(R ) under the assumptions of Theorem 1.1. s n s n (ii) Since the Bessel potential spaces Hp (R ) = Fp;2(R ), 1 < p < 1, Theorem 1.1 s n s n covers the results of composition operators in case Hp (R ) instead of Fp;q(R ). The paper is organized as follows. In Section2 we collect some properties of the s n 1 needed function spaces Fp;q(R ) and BVp (R). Section3 is devoted to the proof of the main result where in a first step we study the case of 1-dimensional which is the main tool when we prove Theorem 1.1. Also, our proof uses various Sobolev and Peetre embeddings, Fubini and Fatou properties, etc. In Section4 we give some corollaries and prove the sharp estimate of (1.4). Notation. We work with functions defined on the Euclidean space Rn. All n spaces and functions are assumed to be real-valued. We denote by Cb(R ) the Banach space of bounded continuous functions on Rn endowed with the supremum. Let D(Rn) (resp. S(Rn) and S0(Rn)) denotes the C1-functions with compact support (resp. the Schwartz space of all C1 rapidly decreasing functions and its topological dual). With k · kp we denote the Lp-norm. We define the differences n by ∆hf := f(· + h) − f for all h 2 R . If E is a Banach function space on Rn, we denote by E`oc the collection of all functions f such that 'f 2 E for all COMPOSITION OPERATOR ON THE SPACE OF FUNCTIONS 173 n ' 2 D(R ). As usual, constants c; c1;::: are strictly positive and depend only on the fixed parameters n; s; p; q; their values may vary from line to line. 2. Function spaces 2.1. Triebel-Lizorkin spaces Let 0 < a ≤ 1. For all measurable functions f on Rn, we set Z Z a Z q=u p=q 1=p s;u;a −sq 1 u dt Mp;q (f) := t n j∆hf(x)j dh dx : n t t R 0 jh|≤t Definition 2.1. Let 0 < p < +1 and 0 < q ≤ +1. Let s be a real satisfying 1 1 1 < s < 2 and s > n max − 1; − 1 : p q n s n Then, a function f 2 Lp(R ) belongs to Fp;q(R ) if n X s−1;1;1 kfk s n := kfk + M (@ f) < +1: Fp;q (R ) p p;q j j=1 s n The set Fp;q(R ) is a quasi Banach space for the quasi-norm defined above. For the equivalence of the above definition with other characterizations we refer to [15, Theorem 3.5.3] from which we recall the following statement. Proposition 2.2. Let 0 < p < +1 and 0 < q; u ≤ +1. Let s be a real satisfying 1 1 1 1 1 < s < 2 and s > n max − ; − : p u q u n s n Then, a function f 2 Lp(R ) belongs to Fp;q(R ) if and only if s;u;1 (2.1) kfkp + Mp;q (f) < +1 s n and the expression (2.1) is an equivalent quasi-norm in Fp;q(R ). Moreover, this s;u;1 s;u;a assertion remains true if one replaces Mp;q by Mp;q for any fixed a > 0. The argument of the equivalence of above quasi-norms that we can replace the integration for t 2]0; +1[ by t ≤ a for a fixed positive number a is the part of the integral for which t > a can be easily estimated by the Lp-norm. Embeddings. Triebel-Lizorkin spaces are spaces of equivalence classes w.r.t. al- most everywhere equality. However, if such an equivalence class contains a contin- uous representative, then usually we work with this representative and call also the equivalence class a continuous function. Later on we need the following continuous embeddings: s n (i) The spaces Fp;q(R ) are monotone with respect to s and q, more exactly s n t n t n Fp;1(R ) ,! Fp;q(R ) ,! Fp;1(R ) if t < s and 0 < q ≤ 1. s n s n s n (ii) With Besov spaces, we have Bp;1(R ) ,! Fp;q(R ) ,! Bp;1(R ). s n n (iii) If either s > n=p or s = n=p and 0 < p ≤ 1, then Fp;q(R ) ,! Cb(R ). For various further embeddings we refer to [14, 2.3.2, 2.7.1] or [12, 2.2.2, 2.2.3]. 174 M. MOUSSAI The Fatou property. Well-known the Triebel-Lizorkin space has the Fatou prop- s n erty, cf. [8]. We will briefly recall it. Any f 2 Fp;q(R ) can be approximated (in 0 n the weak sense in S (R )) by a sequence (fj)j≥0 such that any fj is an entire function of exponential type s n f 2 F ( ) and lim sup k f k s n ≤ c k fk s n j p;q R j Fp;q (R ) Fp;q (R ) j!+1 with a positive constant c independent of f. Vice versa, if for a tempered distri- 0 n bution f 2 S (R ), there exists a sequence (fj)j≥0 such that s n f 2 F ( ) and A := lim sup k f k s n < +1 ; j p;q R j Fp;q (R ) j!+1 s n and limj!+1 fj = f in the sense of distributions, then f belongs to Fp;q(R ) and there exists a constant c > 0 independent of f such that kfk s n ≤ cA.

It is often natural to combine the smoothness and integrability requirements, which leads one to introduce various spaces of functions. This course will give a brief introduction to certain function spaces which are commonly encountered in analysis. This will include H¨older, Lipschitz, Zygmund, Sobolev, Besov, and Triebel-Lizorkin type spaces. We will try to highlight typical uses of these spaces, and will also give an account of interpolation theory which is an important tool in their study. The first part of the course covered integer order Sobolev spaces in domains in Rn, following Evans [4, Chapter 5]. These lecture notes contain the second part of the course. Here the emphasis is on Sobolev type spaces where the smoothness index may be any real number. This second part of the course is more or less self-contained, in that we will use the first part mainly as motivation.

    A simpler description of the κ-topologies on p 1 the spaces DLp, L , M Christian Bargetz,∗ Eduard A. Nigsch,† Norbert Ortner‡ November 2017 Abstract p 1 The κ-topologies on the spaces DLp , L and M are defined by a neighbourhood basis consisting of polars of absolutely convex and compact subsets of their (pre-)dual spaces. In many cases it is more convenient to work with a description of the topology by means of a family of semi-norms defined by multiplication and/or convolution with functions and by classical norms. We give such families of semi- norms generating the κ-topologies on the above spaces of functions and measures defined by integrability properties. In addition, we present a sequence-space representation of the spaces DLp equipped with the κ-topology, which complements a result of J. Bonet and M. Maestre. As a byproduct, we give a characterisation of the compact subsets of 1 p 1 the spaces DLp , L and M .

    Intersections of Fr¶echet spaces and (LB){spaces Angela A. Albanese and Jos¶eBonet Abstract This article presents results about the class of locally convex spaces which are de¯ned as the intersection E \F of a Fr¶echet space F and a countable inductive limit of Banach spaces E. This class appears naturally in analytic applications to linear partial di®erential operators. The intersection has two natural topologies, the intersection topology and an inductive limit topology. The ¯rst one is easier to describe and the second one has good locally convex properties. The coincidence of these topologies and its consequences for the spaces E \ F and E + F are investigated. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classi¯cation. Primary: 46A04, secondary: 46A08, 46A13, 46A45. The aim of this paper is to investigate spaces E \ F which are the intersection of a Fr¶echet space F and an (LB)-space E. They appear in several parts of analysis whenever the space F is determined by countably many necessary (e.g. di®erentiability of integrabil- ity) conditions and E is the dual of such a space, in particular E is de¯ned by a countable sequence of bounded sets which may also be determined by concrete estimates. Two nat- ural topologies can be de¯ned on E \ F : the intersection topology, which has seminorms easy to describe and which permits direct estimates, and a ¯ner inductive limit topology which is de¯ned in a natural way and which has good locally convex properties, e.g. E \ F with this topology is a barrelled space.

Proof: This is a typical three-epsilon argument.

Given " > 0, choose N large enough such that jfi − fjj < " for all i; j ≥ N. Then jfi(x) − fj(x)j < " for any x in K.

  • On Schwartz Groups

    On Schwartz Groups

    On Schwartz groups L. Au¼enhofer, M. J. Chasco, X. Dom¶³nguez,V. Tarieladze Abstract In this paper we introduce a notion of a Schwartz group, which turns out to be coherent with the well known concept of a Schwartz topo- logical vector space. We establish several basic properties of Schwartz groups and show that free topological Abelian groups, as well as free locally convex spaces, over a hemicompact k{space are Schwartz groups. We also prove that every hemicompact k{space topological group, in particular the Pontryagin dual of a metrizable topological group, is a Schwartz group. 1 Introduction The notions of Schwartz and nuclear locally convex spaces were introduced by A. Grothendieck in [14] and [13], respectively. An intensive study of these spaces was made in [14, 15, 17, 24, 18, 27], and many other papers. Some relevant problems in the theory of Schwartz spaces have been solved only recently, see in this connection [6, 7]. Many important spaces in Analysis and its applications are either nu- clear or Schwartz. Spaces in both classes satisfy some properties of ¯nite- dimensional spaces (e. g. their bounded subsets are precompact) which general Banach spaces do not have. A group version of the concept of a nuclear space, introduced by W. Banaszczyk in [5], has been proved to be useful in Harmonic Analysis and topological group theory. In this paper we de¯ne a group counterpart of the Schwartz notion. Our de¯nition uses only group-theoretic tools. For the underlying additive group of a topological vector space, our notion appears to be the usual notion of a Schwartz space.

    Introduction Vectors in Function Spaces

    Jim Lambers MAT 415/515 Fall Semester 2013-14 Lectures 1 and 2 Notes These notes correspond to Section 5.1 in the text. Introduction This course is about series solutions of ordinary differential equations (ODEs). Unlike ODEs covered in MAT 285, whose solutions can be expressed as linear combinations of n functions, where n is the order of the ODE, the ODEs discussed in this course have solutions that are expressed as infinite series of functions, similar to power series seen in MAT 169. This approach of representing solutions using infinite series provides the following benefits: • It allows solutions to be represented using simpler functions, particularly polynomials, than the exponential or trigonometric functions normally used to represent solutions in \closed form". This leads to more efficient evaluation of solutions on a computer or calculator. • It enables solution of ODEs with variable coefficients, as opposed to ODEs seen in MAT 285 that either had constant coefficients or were of a special form. • It facilitates approximation of solutions by polynomials, by truncating the infinite series after a certain number of terms, which in turn aids in understanding the qualitative behavior of solutions. The solution of ODEs via infinite series will lead to the definition of several families of special functions, such as Bessel functions or various kinds of orthogonal polynomials such as Legendre polynomials. Each family of special functions that we will see in this course has an orthogonality relation, which simplifies computations of coefficients in infinite series involving such functions. As n such, orthogonality is going to be an essential concept in this course.

It is a little bit surprising that the knowledge about these operators is rather limited. One reason is, of course, that the properties of T_{f} strongly depend on f and E . Here in this paper we are concerned with E being either a Besov or a Lizorkin‐Triebel space (for definitions of these classes we refer to the appendix at the end of this These scales of Sobolev Bessel article). spaces generalize spaces W_{p}^{m}(\mathbb{R}^{n}) , potential as well as Hölder in view of the spaces H_{p}^{s}(\mathbb{R}^{n}) , Slobodeckij spaces W_{p}^{s}(\mathbb{R}^{n}) spaces C^{s}(\mathbb{R}^{n}) identities m\in \mathbb{N} \bullet W_{p}^{m}(\mathbb{R}^{n})=F_{p,2}^{m}(\mathbb{R}^{n}) , 1<p<\infty, ; s\in \mathbb{R} \bullet H_{p}^{s}(\mathbb{R}^{n})=F_{p,2}^{s}(\mathbb{R}^{n}) , 1<p<\infty, ; 1 \bullet W_{p}^{s}(\mathbb{R}^{n})=F_{p,p}^{s}(\mathbb{R}^{n})=B_{p,p}^{s}(\mathbb{R}^{n}) , 1\leq p<\infty, s>0, s\not\in \mathbb{N} ; \bullet C^{s}(\mathbb{R}^{n})=B_{\infty,\infty}^{s}(\mathbb{R}^{n}) , s>0, s\not\in \mathbb{N}.
