Optimal embedding and sharp estimates of the continuity envelope for generalized Bessel potentials

In the theory of function spaces it is an important problem to describe the differential properties for the convolution u = G*f in terms of the behavior of kernel near the origin, and at the infinity. In our paper the differential properties of convolution are characterized by their modulus of continuity of order k â̂̂ N in the uniform norm. The kernels of convolution generalize the classical kernels determining the Bessel and Riesz potential. They admit non-power behavior near the origin. The order-sharp estimates are obtained for moduli of continuity of the convolution in the uniform norm as well as for continuity envelope function of generalized Bessel potentials. Such estimates admit sharp embedding theorems into a Calderon space and imply estimates for the approximation numbers of the embedding operator. © 2013 Pleiades Publishing, Ltd.
