We establish a pointwise limit theorem for a broad class of pa\-ra\-me\-ter-\-de\-pen\-dent BMO-type seminorms as the parameter tends to zero. By introducing novel BMO-type seminorms, we provide a unified framework that extends several…

We consider sequences of maps from an $(n+m)$-dimensional domain into the $(n-1)$-sphere, which satisfy a natural $p$-energy growth, as $p$ approaches $n$ from below. We prove that, up to subsequences, the Jacobians of such maps converge in…

In this work, we prove some trace theorems for function spaces with a nonlocal character that contain the classical $W^{s,p}$ space as a subspace. The result we obtain generalizes well known trace theorems for $W^{s,p}(\Omega)$ functions…

In this paper we study localization properties of the Riesz $s$-fractional gradient $D^s u$ of a vectorial function $u$ as $s \nearrow 1$. The natural space to work with $s$-fractional gradients is the Bessel space $H^{s,p}$ for $0 < s < 1$…

In this paper we connect Calder\'on and Zygmund's notion of $L^p$\- -differentiability with some recent characterizations of Sobolev spaces via the asymptotics of non-local functionals due to Bourgain, Brezis, and Mironescu. We show how the…

We define and study homogeneous kinetic Sobolev spaces adapted to the Kolmogorov equation. We consider both local and non-local diffusion. The spaces are built from the Lebesgue spaces L p for all integrability exponents p $\in$ (1,…
