Musielak–Orlicz Hardy Spaces Associated with Divergence Form Elliptic Operators Without Weight Assumptions

Abstract

AbstractLetLbe a divergence form elliptic operator with complex bounded measurable coefficients, letωbe a positive Musielak-Orlicz function on (0, ∞) of uniformly strictly critical lower-typepω∈ (0, 1], and letρ(x,t) = t−1/ω−1(x,t−1) forx∈ ℝn, t∊ (0, ∞). In this paper, we study the Musielak-Orlicz Hardy spaceHω,L(ℝn) and its dual space BMOρ,L* (ℝn), whereL*denotes the adjoint operator ofLinL2(ℝn). Theρ-Carleson measure characterization and the John-Nirenberg inequality for the space BMOρ,L(ℝn) are also established. Finally, as applications, we show that the Riesz transform ∇L−1/2and the Littlewood–Paleyg-functiongLmapHω,L(ℝn) continuously intoL(ω).
