1 Introduction
In [38], Yuan, Sickel and Yang defined the diamond subspace of the smoothness Morrey spaces. We aim to decribe the complex interpolation of a class of subspaces of smoothness Morrey spaces defined in [38], which extend the results in [8]. Let . For an -function , its Morrey norm is defined by:
[TABLE]
where denotes the ball centered at of radius . The Morrey space is the set of all -locally integrable functions for which the norm is finite. We recall the definition of Triebel-Lizorkin-Morrey spaces as follows. Let , and . Choose so that holds. Set
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
for . Note that satisfies
[TABLE]
Next, we write
[TABLE]
where and denote the Fourier transform and its inverse, defined by
[TABLE]
for . Now, for , we define
[TABLE]
The Triebel-Lizorkin-Morrey space is the set of all for which the norm is finite. The parameters and are sometimes called the second smoothness parameter and the smoothness parameter, respectively. Remark that the definition of does not depend on the choice of the function (see [20, Theorem 1.4] or [29]).
We are interested in the following closed subspace of :
Definition 1.1**.**
[38, Definition 2.23](smoothness space) Let and . The space denotes the closure with respect to of the set of all smooth functions such that for all multi-indices .
We characterize in terms of the Littlewood-Paley decomposition, which is a starting point of this paper.
Theorem 1.2**.**
Let , , and . Then is in , if and only if converges to as in .
We seek to describe the first and the second complex interpolation spaces of and , where the parameters satisfy
[TABLE]
Here, we may assume due to symmetry between and . To state our main result, we need the following notation. Let be a compatible couple of Banach spaces. Let and be the first and second Calderón complex interpolation space whose definition we recall in Section 2. For , define , , and by:
[TABLE]
A direct consequence of (6) and (7) is
[TABLE]
For , we define
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
Based on this notation, we state our main results as follows:
Theorem 1.3**.**
Suppose that we have parameters , and satisfying and .
We have
[TABLE] 2. 2.
If and , then
[TABLE]
Theorem 1.4**.**
Suppose that we have parameters , and satisfying (6) and (7). Then we have
[TABLE]
with equivalence of norms.
Having stated the main result in this paper, let us investigate its relation with the existing results. The corresponding results for the first complex interpolation of Triebel-Lizorkin-Morrey spaces was obtained by Yang, Yuan and Zhuo (see [35, Corollary 1.11]). They proved the following theorem.
Theorem 1.5**.**
[35, Corollary 1.11]* Suppose that we have parameters , , , , , , , , , , , , and satisfying and . Then*
[TABLE]
Remark that (12) will be used in the proof of Theorem 1.4. As a corollary of (22) to follow and Theorem 1.4, we have the corresponding result for the first complex interpolation of Tribel-Lizorkin-Morrey spaces which refines (12).
Theorem 1.6**.**
Suppose that we have parameters , , , , , , , , , , , , and satisfying and . Then
[TABLE]
Meanwhile, Nakamura, the first and the third authors obtained the description of the interpolation of diamond Morrey spaces in [8], which we describe below. Let . The space denotes the closure with respect to of the set of all smooth functions such that for all multi-indices [38].
Due to the result by Mazzucato [17, Proposition 4.1], we see that
[TABLE]
Thus, with norm equivalence and Theorem 1.3 recaptures the interpolation of and as the special case of and . Thus, we see that Theorem 1.3 extends [8, Theorem 1.9]
One of the difficulties in dealing with the space with is that this closed subspace does not enjoy the lattice property unlike many other important subspaces defined in [6, 27, 38].
Let us now recall some progress in interpolation theory of Morrey spaces. The earlier result about the interpolation of Morrey spaces can be traced back in [28]. In [7, p. 35] Cobos, Peetre, and Persson pointed out that
[TABLE]
whenever , , and satisfy
[TABLE]
A counterexample by Blasco, Ruiz, and Vega [3, 22], shows that if we assume (14) only, then there exists a bounded linear operator from () to , but is unbounded from to . By using the counterexample by Ruiz and Vega in [22], Lemarié-Rieusset [14, Theorem 3(ii)] showed that if an interpolation functor satisfies under the condition (14), then
[TABLE]
holds. Lemarié-Rieusset [14, 15] also showed that Morrey space is closed under the second complex interpolation method, namely,
[TABLE]
Meanwhile, as for the interpolation result under (14) and (15) by using the first Calderón’s complex interpolation functor, Lu, Yang, and Yuan obtained the following description:
[TABLE]
in [16, Theorem 1.2]. Their result is in the setting of a metric measure space. The generalization of the result of Lu et. al and Lemarié-Rieusset in the setting of generalized Morrey spaces and generalized Orlicz-Morrey spaces can be seen in [9]. The first and third authors [10] also obtain a refinement of (17) as follows:
[TABLE]
The complex interpolation of variable exponent Morrey spaces can be seen [18]. As for the real interpolation results, Burenkov and Nursultanov obtained an interpolation result in local Morrey spaces [4] and their results are generalized by Nakai and Sobukawa to setting [19]. In [35], Yang, Yuan, and Zhuo considered the interpolation of smoothness Morrey spaces considered in [11, 12, 13, 17, 20, 23, 26, 29, 32, 33, 36, 37, 38].
Compared to the work [35], we believe that the main tool is Lemma 2.13, where the function plays the key role. An experience obtained in [9] shows that the function is essential when we consider the complex interpolation functor.
Let us explain why the interpolation of Morrey spaces are complicated unlike Lebesgue spaces. From (16) and (18) we learn that the first complex interpolation functor behaves differently from Lebesgue spaces. This problem comes basically from the fact that the Morrey norm involves the supremum over all balls . Due to this fact, we have many difficulties when , namely:
The Morrey space is not included in ; see [10, Section 6]. 2. 2.
The Morrey space is not reflexive; see [27, Example 5.2] and [34, Theorem 1.3]. 3. 3.
Let satisfy . Let . The spaces , , are not dense in ; see [31, Proposition 2.16], [24] and [9, 38], respectively. 4. 4.
The Morrey space is not separable; see [31, Proposition 2.16].
These facts prevent us from using many theorems in the textbook in [1].
We organize the remaining part of this paper as follows: Section 2 collects some preliminary facts such as the property of the complex interpolation and the maximal inequalities for Morrey spaces. We prove Theorems 1.3 and 1.4 in Section 3 except a key fact on defined in Section 3. This fact will be proved in Section 4.

Now, we recall the definition of Calderón’s second complex interpolation space. Let be a Banach space. The space is defined to be the set of all functions for which
[TABLE]

[TABLE]
The space is called Calderón’s second complex interpolation space, or the upper complex interpolation space of .
One of the fundamental relations between the first and the second complex interpolation is as follows:
[TABLE]
according to the result by Bergh [2]. This relation explains why we start by calculating the second interpolation in the proof of Theorems 1.4 and 1.6.
If we combine Lemmas 2.4 and 2.5 below, we see that (22) follows.
Lemma 2.4**.**
[2]*
Let . Then .*
Lemma 2.5**.**
[1, Theorem 4.22 (a)]*
The space is dense in .*
A direct consequence of Lemma 2.5 is:
Lemma 2.6**.**

We observe that from the definition of ; see (21). In fact, for , there exists such that . We define
[TABLE]
for and . Then, and according to (21), we have .
Since from Lemma 2.5, it follows that . Putting together these observations, we obtain the desired result. ∎
2.2 Operators on Morrey spaces
Let denote the set of all balls in . We recall the definition and the fundamental property of the Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator .
Definition 2.7** (Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator).**
For a measurable function , define a function by:

The mapping is called the Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator.
Theorem 2.8**.**
[25, Theorem 2.4], [29, Lemma 2.5]* Suppose that the parameters satisfy*
[TABLE]

[TABLE]
∎
2.3 Some inequalities
We use the following inequality which improves slightly the one in [30].
Lemma 2.10**.**
[21, Lemma 2.17]* Fix . Let be a non-negative sequence and . Then*
[TABLE]
Here, we assume there is a non-zero .
When we consider the complex interpolation of the second kind of classical Morrey spaces, we are faced with the function in the proof; see [9]. To take an advantage of this factor fully, we will use the following series of lemmas:
Lemma 2.11**.**
Let and be such that . Then there exists a constant such that
[TABLE]
for every and
[TABLE]
for every .
Lemma 2.12**.**
Let and fix . Then there exists a constant such that
[TABLE]
for all with .
As we have mentioned, the function of the form plays a crucial role for later considerations. We will need some variant including the logarithm. We use the functions defined by
[TABLE]

Let and . Then we have
[TABLE]
for all nonnegative square summable sequences .
Proof.
Assume first that . In this case,
[TABLE]

[TABLE]
Using (34), we have
[TABLE]
For the case , observe that satisfies
[TABLE]
for all . In addition, we also can choose such that
[TABLE]
for every . Write . By combining (35) and (36), we get
[TABLE]
as desired. ∎
Lemma 2.14**.**
Let , and . Then, we have
[TABLE]
for every .
Proof.
By the fundamental theorem on calculus, we have
[TABLE]
For , we have
[TABLE]
Meanwhile, using
[TABLE]
we have for , we have
[TABLE]
as desired. ∎
For checking the holomorphicity of the second complex interpolation functor, we invoke the following lemma:
Lemma 2.15**.**
[9, Lemma 3]* Let and . Assume that . Then, there exists such that*
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
Proposition 2.16**.**

[TABLE]
satisfying and . Then .
Proof.
We take . Theorem 1.2 implies that
[TABLE]
as for . By the Hölder inequality, we have
[TABLE]
Combining (40) and (41), we obtain the desired result. ∎
3 Proofs
3.1 Proof of Theorem 1.4
According to [35, Corollary 1.11], we have
[TABLE]
with equivalence of norms. Based on (42), we prove (11) as follows: First, if . Then

Since as in , and hence in , by the Fatou property .
Conversely, let with norm . Define linear functions of the variable uniquely by
[TABLE]
Since , for and . Define
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
In Section 4, we prove
[TABLE]
So,
[TABLE]
3.2 Proof of Theorem 1.2
Suppose that in as . Let be a multiindex. Then since
[TABLE]
for some constant , it follows that
[TABLE]
Since and , we have
[TABLE]
Thus .
Suppose instead that . Let be arbitrary. Then by the definition of , we can find such that and that . Then for , we have
[TABLE]
From the size of the support condition, we obtain
[TABLE]
Since , we can use the Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator to have
[TABLE]
By Theorem 2.8, we have
[TABLE]
Let us set
[TABLE]
Then we have Inserting this relation into (44), we obtain
[TABLE]
Again by using the convolution and the maximal operator, we obtain
[TABLE]
Using Theorem 2.8 once more, we have
[TABLE]
Since , there exists such that
[TABLE]
as long as .
If we use Theorem 2.8, we obtain
[TABLE]
Thus, if , then we have
[TABLE]
as required.
3.3 Proof of in
Let . By Lemma 2.6 and Proposition 2.16, we have
[TABLE]
Therefore,
[TABLE]
where , , for each and
[TABLE]
For and , we see that
[TABLE]
Thus,
[TABLE]
Once we show that
[TABLE]
then we have the desired result. By setting
[TABLE]
where , we have only to show that
[TABLE]
in for all .
By the mean-value theorem, we have
[TABLE]
We let
[TABLE]
So, we have
[TABLE]
Recall that we are assuming and . By using , , and the Hölder inequality, we get
[TABLE]
Consequently,
[TABLE]
By letting , we obtain
[TABLE]
Finally letting , we obtain (45).
3.4 Proof of in
We readily obtain the inclusion by combining (10), (22), Proposition 2.16 and
[TABLE]
3.5 Proof of in

Write as before.
Let Then since , we have
[TABLE]

[TABLE]
Since and is a compact set in , we can find such that
[TABLE]
Thus, it follows that

Here we used [35, Corollary 1.11] for the last inequality. Hence is a Cauchy sequence in . Since converges to in We see that converges to in .
3.6 Proof of in
Let be such that for all . We suppose that has -norm . Choose so that and Write and for . Then, satisfies

For each , define
[TABLE]
For , we define

From (50) and , we conclude that , as desired.
4 Proof of (43) and (50)
Let be the same as before. We check the conditions of membership of by proving the following lemmas.
Lemma 4.1**.**

We concentrate on (52); the proof of (51) being simpler. For each , we define
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
We shall show that

and
[TABLE]
Let . We use (24), (27), and the fact that whenever to obtain

Let . Combining
[TABLE]
[TABLE]

[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
By virtue of Lemma 2.10, we get
[TABLE]
We combine Lemmas 2.11, 2.13, and 2.14 to obtain
[TABLE]
Consequently,
[TABLE]
Therefore, by combing (56), (4) and (58), and then taking and , we have
[TABLE]
Thus, . By a similar argument, we also have
[TABLE]
which implies (54). Since , we have ,
The proof of (52) goes as follows. By virtue of (27) and Theorem 2.8, we have
[TABLE]
Combining (4) and Lemma 2.10, we have
[TABLE]
By a similar argument
[TABLE]
Thus, (52) follows from (4) and (61). ∎

[TABLE]
Thus, . The proof of is similar.
Now we prove the second part of this lemma. From (27) and Theorem 2.8, it follows that
