Abstract

For each 1p<1\leq p<\infty a space of integrable Schwartz distributions, L^'^{\,p}, is defined by taking the distributional derivative of all functions in LpL^p. Here, LpL^p is with respect to Lebesgue measure on the real line. If f\in L^'^{\,p} such that ff is the distributional derivative of FLpF\in L^p then the integral is defined as fG=F(x)g(x)dx\int^\infty_{-\infty} fG=-\int^\infty_{-\infty} F(x)g(x)\,dx, where gLqg\in L^q, G(x)=0xg(t)dtG(x)= \int_0^x g(t)\,dt and 1/p+1/q=11/p+1/q=1. A norm is fp=Fp\lVert f\rVert'_p=\lVert F\rVert_p. The spaces L^'^{\,p} and LpL^p are isometrically isomorphic. Distributions in L^'^{\,p} share many properties with functions in LpL^p. Hence, L^'^{\,p} is reflexive, its dual space is identified with LqL^q, there is a type of H\"older inequality, continuity in norm, convergence theorems, Gateaux derivative. It is a Banach lattice and abstract LL-space. Convolutions and Fourier transforms are defined. Convolution with the Poisson kernel is well-defined and provides a solution to the half plane Dirichlet problem, boundary values being taken on in the new norm. A product is defined that makes L^'^{\,1} into a Banach algebra isometrically isomorphic to the convolution algebra on L1L^1. Spaces of higher order derivatives of LpL^p functions are defined. These are also Banach spaces isometrically isomorphic to LpL^p.
