Fractional Sobolev space $H^\frac{1}{2}$ is equal to the interpolation space $(L^2,H^1)_{\frac{1}{2},2;K}$
I want to show that the fractional Sobolev space $H^\frac{1}{2}$ is equal to the interpolation space $(L^2,H^1)_{\frac{1}{2},2;K}$. In particular I would like to use the K-method as described in the ...

Real interpolation: Why do the J- and K-methods scale everything by 1/t?
I'm currently studying interpolation spaces, but I'm struggling to understand some of the intuition behind real interpolation. There are two equivalent methods to define the real interpolation functor,...

On Nelson's Commutator Theorem (Theorem X.36/X.36') in Reed-Simon II: can we show the theorem without realying on interpolation theory?
I am studying Theorem X.36' (Nelson's Commutator Theorem) on Reed-Simon vol II, here is a short resume: Let $N \geq I$ a self-adjoint operator on a complex Hilbert Space $H$. Suppose we have a ...

Constant of Lions-Magenes lemma
I am interested in the specific embedding constant of the Lions-Magenes lemma. In particular, let $V \subset H \subset V'$ be a Gelfand triple, where the embeddings are compact. Furthermore, we define ...

L2 norm scaling for a smooth 2d map with N vanishing points
I am stuck with this problem since a week, if someone could help me that would be amazing. Considering, a smooth 2d map on a closed domain let's take the unit square: $$\begin{cases}\phi : [0,1] \...

Does the fractional Leibniz rule hold in Lorentz spaces?
Setting Consider the following setting: Let $d \in \mathbb{N}$. Lorentz space: $L^{p,q} = L^{p,q}(\mathbb{R}^d; \mathbb{R})$, $1<p<\infty$, $1\leq q \leq \infty$ (I assume familiarity with ...

Interpolation for Sobolev spaces with support in closed subspace
Let $M$ be a closed manifold, and $\Omega\subseteq M$ an open subset. For $s\geq 0$ let $H^s_\bar{\Omega}(M)$ denote the subset of the Sobolev space $H^s(M)$ containing all functions with (...

The boundedness of operators
There are two types of boundedness for operators that are commonly used as endpoints in interpolation theory: Weak-type $(1,1)$ boundedness; Hardy space $H^1$ boundedness. Both of these serve as ...

Besov spaces as the real interpolation spaces of classical Sobolev spaces: $p=1$ or $p=\infty$ case?
Below, every function space is on the domain $\mathbb{R}^N$ for some $N \in \mathbb{N}$, $W^{m,p}$ denotes the classical Sobolev spaces (i.e., having $L^p$ weak derivatives), and $B^{s,p}_q$ denotes ...

Does Newton's forward difference formula / Newton's interpolation formula yield well-defined functions (in one variable) if it is convergent?
Suppose we are given a sequence $a_{0}, a_{1}, a_{2}, \ldots$ of real numbers and we define $F:\mathbb{N}\times[0, \infty)\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$ by $$ F(k, \alpha) = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{\alpha^{\...

Fix first and second derivatives at two points: is convexity possible?
Consider a convex and smooth (or at least $C^2$) function $f$ such that: $f(x)>0$ for $x\in (a,b)$ $f'(x)>0$ for $x\in (a,b)$ $f''(x)>0$ for $x\in (a,b)$ Now, we are given an interval $[...

One confusion in Riesz interpolation in Functional analysis by Stein-Shakarchi
It is in the proof of the Riesz interpolation theorem in Chapter 2 section 2, page 56. I formulate it as follows. If $f\in L^p(X)$, write $f^U= f \chi_E$ and $f^L=f-f^U$, where $E=\{x\in X: |f(x)|\geq ...

Strategies to build functions with given expansions at two different points
Consider two non-constant real polynomials $f(x)$ and $g(x)$: $$f=f_0 + f_1 (x-x_0) +...+f_N(x-x_0)^N $$ $$g=g_0 + g_1(x-x_1) +...+g_M(x-x_1)^M $$ where $f_0...f_N,g_0...g_M,x,x_0,x_1 \in \mathbb{R}$ ...
