On Mixed Fractional Lifting Oscillation Spaces

Abstract

We introduce hyperbolic oscillation spaces and mixed fractional lifting oscillation spaces expressed in terms of hyperbolic wavelet leaders of multivariate signals on Rd, with d≥2. Contrary to Besov spaces and fractional Sobolev spaces with dominating mixed smoothness, the new spaces take into account the geometric disposition of the hyperbolic wavelet coefficients at each scale (j1,⋯,jd), and are therefore suitable for a multifractal analysis of rectangular regularity. We prove that hyperbolic oscillation spaces are closely related to hyperbolic variation spaces, and consequently do not almost depend on the chosen hyperbolic wavelet basis. Therefore, the so-called rectangular multifractal analysis, related to hyperbolic oscillation spaces, is somehow ‘robust’, i.e., does not change if the analyzing wavelets were changed. We also study optimal relationships between hyperbolic and mixed fractional lifting oscillation spaces and Besov spaces with dominating mixed smoothness. In particular, we show that, for some indices, hyperbolic and mixed fractional lifting oscillation spaces are not always sharply imbedded between Besov spaces or fractional Sobolev spaces with dominating mixed smoothness, and thus are new spaces of a really different nature.
