Characterization of non-linear Besov spaces
Chong Liu, David J. Prömel, Josef Teichmann
Abstract
The canonical generalizations of two classical norms on Besov spaces are shown to be equivalent even in the case of non-linear Besov spaces, that is, function spaces consisting of functions taking values in a metric space and equipped with some Besov-type topology. The proofs are based on atomic decomposition techniques and metric embeddings. Additionally, we provide embedding results showing how non-linear Besov spaces embed into non-linear $p$-variation spaces and vice versa. We emphasize that we neither assume the UMD property of the involved spaces nor their separability.
