TL;DR

This paper establishes the $φ$-transform characterization and atomic decomposition for Besov-type spaces with variable smoothness and integrability, extending classical function space theory to variable exponent settings. The key contribution is proving that functions in these spaces admit atomic representations and can be equivalently characterized via sequence spaces, enabling new tools for analysis in variable exponent settings relevant to PDEs and fluid dynamics.

ABSTRACT

The aim of this paper is to study properties of Besov-type spaces with variable smoothness. We show that these spaces are characterized by the phi-transforms in appropriate sequence spaces and we obtain atomic decompositions for these spaces.

Motivation & Objective

• To extend the theory of Besov-type spaces to variable smoothness and integrability exponents.
• To establish a $φ$-transform characterization for $B_{p(\cdot),q(\cdot)}^{\alpha(\cdot),\tau(\cdot)}$ and $\widetilde{B}_{p(\cdot),q(\cdot)}^{\alpha(\cdot),p(\cdot)}$ spaces.
• To derive atomic decompositions for these variable-exponent function spaces.
• To provide equivalent quasi-norms via associated sequence spaces for the function spaces.

Proposed method

• Defining the Besov-type spaces $B_{p(\cdot),q(\cdot)}^{\alpha(\cdot),\tau(\cdot)}$ and $\widetilde{B}_{p(\cdot),q(\cdot)}^{\alpha(\cdot),p(\cdot)}$ using dyadic cubes and frequency localization via Schwartz functions $\Phi$ and $\varphi$.
• Using the $φ$-transform to characterize functions in these spaces by mapping them to sequence spaces involving $\ell^{q(\cdot)}(L^{p(\cdot)})$ norms.
• Constructing atoms $\varrho_{v,m}$ supported on dyadic cubes and showing that any function in the space admits a series representation $f = \sum_{v,m} \lambda_{v,m} \varrho_{v,m}$ in $\mathcal{S}'(\mathbb{R}^n)$.
• Proving convergence of the atomic series using estimates based on decay of atoms and weighted $L^{p(\cdot)}$ norms.
• Applying technical lemmas on variable exponent norms, including bounds involving $c_{\log}(1/p)$ and dyadic cube interactions.
• Deriving equivalent quasi-norms for the function spaces by relating them to sequence norms in $b_{p(\cdot)/t,\infty}^{s(\cdot),\tau(\cdot)}$.

Experimental results

Research questions

• RQ1 How can Besov-type spaces with variable smoothness and integrability be characterized via the $φ$-transform?
• RQ2 What is the structure of atomic decompositions for $B_{p(\cdot),q(\cdot)}^{\alpha(\cdot),\tau(\cdot)}$ and $\widetilde{B}_{p(\cdot),q(\cdot)}^{\alpha(\cdot),p(\cdot)}$ spaces?
• RQ3 Can equivalent quasi-norms for these function spaces be derived from associated sequence spaces?
• RQ4 How do variable exponent norms behave under atomic decomposition and $φ$-transform mapping?

Key findings

• The space $B_{p(\cdot),q(\cdot)}^{\alpha(\cdot),\tau(\cdot)}$ admits a $φ$-transform characterization via the sequence space $\ell^{q(\cdot)}(L^{p(\cdot)})$ with norms involving $\|\chi_P\|_{\tau(\cdot)}$.
• Any function $f$ in $B_{p(\cdot),q(\cdot)}^{\alpha(\cdot),\tau(\cdot)}$ or $\widetilde{B}_{p(\cdot),q(\cdot)}^{\alpha(\cdot),p(\cdot)}$ admits an atomic decomposition $f = \sum_{v,m} \lambda_{v,m} \varrho_{v,m}$ converging in $\mathcal{S}'(\mathbb{R}^n)$.
• The sequence $\{\lambda_{v,m}\}$ belongs to a sequence space $b_{p(\cdot),q(\cdot)}^{\alpha,\tau(\cdot)}$, and the function space norm is equivalent to the quasi-norm of this sequence space.
• The convergence of the atomic series is established by estimating the integral of the series against test functions using decay properties of atoms and variable exponent norms.
• The proof relies on technical estimates involving $c_{\log}(1/p)$ and dyadic cube interactions, showing that $\|\cdot\|_{B_{p(\cdot),q(\cdot)}^{\alpha(\cdot),\tau(\cdot)}} \approx \|\lambda\|_{b_{p(\cdot),q(\cdot)}^{\alpha,\tau(\cdot)}}$.
• The results extend classical atomic decompositions and $φ$-transform characterizations to the variable exponent setting, providing a foundation for further analysis in variable smoothness and integrability spaces.
