Abstract

We establish two pointwise endpoint limits for nonlocal operators: one based on normalized integrals and a distributional limit based on weighted weak-type norms. As applications, the limits yield pointwise Bourgain--Brezis--Mironescu, Maz'ya--Shaposhnikova, Brezis--Seeger--Van Schaftingen--Yung and Gu--Yung formulas, together with higher-order and mean-oscillation variants. We then investigate endpoint limits for fractional powers generated by semigroups and for approximation processes, and derive sharp strong and weak endpoint estimates for operators in harmonic analysis. Finally, while Dom\'{i}nguez and Milman obtained weak-type estimates on product spaces for p>1p>1 and left the endpoint p=1p=1 open (see [Adv.~Math.~411 (2022), Paper~No.~108774, p.~22]), we prove a sharp pointwise limit in the parameter variable and obtain two--sided iterated weak-type estimates at p=1p=1.
