We continue the study of the space $BV^α(\mathbb R^n)$ of functions with bounded fractional variation in $\mathbb R^n$ and of the distributional fractional Sobolev space $S^{α,p}(\mathbb R^n)$, with $p\in [1,+\infty]$ and $α\in(0,1)$, considered in the previous works arXiv:1809.08575 and arXiv:1910.13419. We first define the space $BV^0(\mathbb R^n)$ and establish the identifications $BV^0(\mathbb R^n)=H^1(\mathbb R^n)$ and $S^{α,p}(\mathbb R^n)=L^{α,p}(\mathbb R^n)$, where $H^1(\mathbb R^n)$ and $L^{α,p}(\mathbb R^n)$ are the (real) Hardy space and the Bessel potential space, respectively. We then prove that the fractional gradient $\nabla^α$ strongly converges to the Riesz transform as $α\to0^+$ for $H^1\cap W^{α,1}$ and $S^{α,p}$ functions. We also study the convergence of the $L^1$-norm of the $α$-rescaled fractional gradient of $W^{α,1}$ functions. To achieve the strong limiting behavior of $\nabla^α$ as $α\to0^+$, we prove some new fractional interpolation inequalities which are stable with respect to the interpolating parameter.
We obtain symmetrization inequalities in the context of Fractional Hajlasz-Sobolev spaces in the setting of rearrangement invariant spaces and prove that for a large class of measures our symmetrization inequalities are equivalent to the lower bound of the measure.
Fractional Sobolev spaces $\widehat{H}^s(\mathbb{R})$ have been playing important roles in analysis of many mathematical subjects. In this work, we re-consider fractional Sobolev spaces under the perspective of fractional operators and establish characterizations on the Fourier transform of functions of fractional Sobolev spaces, thereby giving another equivalent definition.
We introduce and study fractional variable exponents Sobolev trace spaces on any open set in the Euclidean space equipped with the Lebesgue measure. We show that every equivalence class of Sobolev functions has a quasicontinuous representatives. We use the relative capacity to characterize completely the zero trace fractional variable exponents Sobolev spaces. We also give a relative capacity criterium for removable sets.
This paper presents three new families of fractional Sobolev spaces and their accompanying theory in one-dimension. The new construction and theory are based on a newly developed notion of weak fractional derivatives, which are natural generalizations of the well-established integer order Sobolev spaces and theory. In particular, two new families of one-sided fractional Sobolev spaces are introduced and analyzed, they reveal more insights about another family of so-called symmetric fractional Sobolev spaces. Many key theorems/properties, such as density/approximation theorem, extension theorem…
An extended version of the Maz'ya-Shaposhnikova theorem on the limit as $s\to 0^+$ of the Gagliardo-Slobodeckij fractional seminorm is established in the Orlicz space setting. Our result holds in fractional Orlicz-Sobolev spaces associated with Young functions satisfying the $Δ_2$-condition, and, as shown by counterexamples, it may fail if this condition is dropped.
In this paper, we study a family of general fractional Sobolev spaces $\MsqpOm$ when $\Om=\Rn$ or $\Om$ is a bounded domain, having a compact, Lipschitz boundary $\Bdy$, in $\Rn$ for $n\geq2$. Among other results, some compact embedding results of $\MVsqpRn\hookrightarrow\LqRn$ and $\MVsqpRn\hookrightarrow\LlRn$ for suitable potential functions $V(x)$ are described.
A chain rule for power product is studied with fractional differential operators in the framework of Sobolev spaces. The fractional differential operators are defined by the Fourier multipliers. The chain rule is considered newly in the case where the order of differential operators is between one and two. The study is based on the analogy of the classical chain rule or Leibniz rule.
A necessary and sufficient condition for fractional Orlicz-Sobolev spaces to be continuously embedded into $L^\infty(\mathbb R^n)$ is exhibited. Under the same assumption, any function from the relevant fractional-order spaces is shown to be continuous. Improvements of this result are also offered. They provide the optimal Orlicz target space, and the optimal rearrangement-invariant target space in the embedding in question. These results complement those already available in the subcritical case, where the embedding into $L^\infty(\mathbb R^n)$ fails. They also augment a classical embedding t…
In this note we investigate the image of Sobolev spaces of fractional order on a compact Lie group $ K $ under the Segal-Bargmann transform. We show that the image can be characterised in terms of certain weighted Bergman spaces of holomorphic functions on the complexification extending a theorem of Hall and Lewkeeratiyutkul. We also treat the heat kernel transform associated to the Hermite operator.
The optimal Orlicz target space is exhibited for embeddings of fractional-order Orlicz-Sobolev spaces in $\mathbb R^n$. An improved embedding with an Orlicz-Lorentz target space, which is optimal in the broader class of all rearrangement-invariant spaces, is also established. Both spaces of order $s\in (0,1)$, and higher-order spaces are considered. Related Hardy type inequalities are proposed as well. An extension theorem is proved, that enables us to derive embeddings for spaces defined in Lipschitz domains. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the compactness of fractional Orlicz-Sobolev…
In this paper we show different inequalities for fractional order differential operators. In particular, the Sobolev, Hardy, Gagliardo-Nirenberg and Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg type inequalities for the Caputo, Riemann-Liouville and Hadamard derivatives are obtained. In addition, we show some applications of these inequalities.
We describe a procedure to introduce Sobolev spaces and the semigroup generated by the fractional Dirichlet Laplacian on an arbitrary domain of $\R^d$. In particular, the well-definedness of the spaces of both non-homogeneous and homogeneous type together with their duality properties, embeddings, and Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequalities will be discussed. We also show the continuity and the smoothing property of the semigroup.
We introduce the new space $BV^α(\mathbb{R}^n)$ of functions with bounded fractional variation in $\mathbb{R}^n$ of order $α\in (0, 1)$ via a new distributional approach exploiting suitable notions of fractional gradient and fractional divergence already existing in the literature. In analogy with the classical $BV$ theory, we give a new notion of set $E$ of (locally) finite fractional Caccioppoli $α$-perimeter and we define its fractional reduced boundary $\mathscr{F}^α E$. We are able to show that $W^{α,1}(\mathbb{R}^n)\subset BV^α(\mathbb{R}^n)$ continuously and, similarly, that sets with (…
The real interpolation spaces between $L^{p}({\mathbb{R}}^{n})$ and $\dot {H}^{t,p}({\mathbb{R}}^{n})$ (resp. $H^{t,p}({\mathbb{R}}^{n})$), $t>0,$ are characterized in terms of fractional moduli of smoothness, and the underlying seminorms are shown to be " the correct" fractional generalization of the classical Gagliardo seminorms. This is confirmed by the fact that, using the new spaces combined with interpolation and extrapolation methods, we are able to extend the Bourgain-Brezis-Mironescu-Maz'ya-Shaposhnikova limit formulae, as well as the Bourgain-Brezis-Mironescu convergence theorem, to …
We construct whole-space extensions of functions in a fractional Sobolev space of order $s\in (0,1)$ and integrability $p\in (0,\infty)$ on an open set $O$ which vanish in a suitable sense on a portion $D$ of the boundary $\partial O$ of $O$. The set $O$ is supposed to satisfy the so-called interior thickness condition in $\partial O \setminus D$, which is much weaker than the global interior thickness condition. The proof works by means of a reduction to the case $D=\emptyset$ using a geometric construction.
In this article, we derive the existence of positive solutions of a semi-linear, non-local elliptic PDE, involving a singular perturbation of the fractional laplacian, coming from the fractional Hardy-Sobolev-Maz'ya inequality, derived in this paper. We also derive symmetry properties and a precise asymptotic behaviour of solutions.
In this article we define a class of fractional Orlicz-Sobolev spaces on Carnot groups and, in the spirit of the celebrated results of Bourgain-Brezis-Mironescu and of Maz'ya-Shaposhnikova, we study the asymptotic behavior of the Orlicz functionals when the fractional parameter goes to $1$ and $0$.
Let (X, \r{ho},μ) be a space of homogeneous type, a variable exponent satisfying the globally log-Holder continuous condition. In this article, the author introduce the variable fractional Sobolev spaces on X via Hajłasz gradient. Using various maximal functions, several characterizations of this space are established.
This paper presents a self-contained new theory of weak fractional differential calculus and fractional Sobolev spaces in one-dimension. The crux of this new theory is the introduction of a weak fractional derivative notion which is a natural generalization of integer order weak derivatives; it also helps to unify multiple existing fractional derivative definitions and characterize what functions are fractionally differentiable. Various calculus rules including a fundamental theorem of calculus, product and chain rules, and integration by parts formulas are established for weak fractional deri…
We consider a homogeneous fractional Sobolev space obtained by completion of the space of smooth test functions, with respect to a Sobolev--Slobodecki\uı norm. We compare it to the fractional Sobolev space obtained by the $K-$method in real interpolation theory. We show that the two spaces do not always coincide and give some sufficient conditions on the open sets for this to happen. We also highlight some unnatural behaviors of the interpolation space. The treatment is as self-contained as possible.
Using the concept of fractional derivatives of Riemann$-$Liouville on time scales, we first introduce right fractional Sobolev spaces and characterize them. Then, we prove the equivalence of some norms in the introduced spaces, and obtain their completeness, reflexivity, separability and some imbeddings. Finally, as an application, we propose a recent method to study the existence of weak solutions of fractional boundary value problems on time scales by using variational method and critical point theory, and by constructing an appropriate variational setting, we obtain two existence results of…
We provide sufficient conditions for boundary Hardy inequality to hold in bounded Lipschitz domains, complement of a point (the so-called point Hardy inequality), domain above the graph of a Lipschitz function, the complement of a bounded Lipschitz domain in fractional Orlicz-Sobolev setting. As a consequence, we get sufficient conditions for regional fractional Orlicz Poincaré inequality in bounded Lipschitz domains. Necessary conditions for fractional Orlicz Hardy and regional fractional Orlicz Poincaré inequalities are also given for bounded Lipschitz domains. Various sufficient conditions …
We investigate the form of the closure of the smooth, compactly supported functions $C_{c}^{\infty}(Ω)$ in the weighted fractional Sobolev space $W^{s,p;\,w,v}(Ω)$ for bounded $Ω$. We focus on the weights $w,\,v$ being powers of the distance to the boundary of the domain. Our results depend on the lower and upper Assouad codimension of the boundary of $Ω$. For such weights we also prove the comparability between the full weighted fractional Gagliardo seminorm and the truncated one.
The bounded variation seminorm and the Sobolev seminorm on compact manifolds are represented as a limit of fractional Sobolev seminorms. This establishes a characterization of functions of bounded variation and of Sobolev functions on compact manifolds. As an application the special case of sets of finite perimeter is considered.
