1 Introduction
In this paper, we mainly use the time-frequency method to study the Cauchy problem for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equation (NS):
[TABLE]
where denotes the flow velocity vector and describes the scalar pressure, is an initial velocity with . denotes the Laplacian. It is easy to see that (1.1) can be rewritten as the following equivalent form:
[TABLE]
where is the matrix operator projecting onto the divergence free vector fields, is identity matrix. It is known that NS has the following scaling invariance: If is a solution of NS, then the scaling function
[TABLE]
is also the solutions of NS with initial data . Recall that a function space defined on is said to be a critical space if the norm of in is invariant under the dilation (1.3), namely for all . It is known that NS has a class of critical spaces such as and . The spaces with , with and with are said to be super-critical spaces for NS.
On the other hand, there is a class of function spaces which may have variant scalings for different functions, say modulation spaces ; cf. Sugimoto and Tomita [53] (see also [37]). It is well-known that the short time Fourier transform (STFT) plays a crucial role in the theory of time frequency analysis, the STFT equipped with the norm generates modulation spaces (cf. [23]). A frequency-discrete version of the STFT, so-called frequency uniform decomposition operator is a very useful tool in the study of nonlinear PDE (cf. [12, 61, 63]). Let be a smooth cut-off function adapted to the unit cube and outside the cube . We writet and assume that
[TABLE]
The frequency uniform decomposition operators are defined in the following way:
[TABLE]
Let be the Schwartz space and be its dual space. Let . The modulation space consists of all for which the following norm is finite:
[TABLE]
Noticing that , we can also define
[TABLE]
which is said to be the hybrid Riesz potential-modulation spaces. In this paper, we are mainly interested in the modulation spaces which have the exponential regularity, i.e., the spatial regularity is replaced by in the definition of in (1.6) and we denote
[TABLE]
In the case , can be treated as a subspace of so that the norm is complete (cf. [63]). However, if , cannot be regarded as a subspace of , since the function like has the finite norm in , but is not in . Roughly speaking, in the case , we can treat as the subspaces of the Gelfand-Shilov space, which contains the distributions with exponential growth so that in (1.8) is meaningful and becomes a complete norm. In this paper we will give a reasonable definition of in the case , which is eventually an equivalent characterization of modulation space with negative exponential weight, see (5.3) in Section 5.
Our goal is the study of NS with a class of initial data in , . It is worth to mention that for any and , where is the Dirac measure. It is known that (1.1) is equivalent to the following integral equation:
[TABLE]
where
[TABLE]
The solutions of (1.9) are usually said to be mild solutions. NS has been extensively studied in [1, 8, 9, 14, 21, 22, 27, 30, 35, 39, 42, 43, 45, 50]. Cannone [8] and Planchon [50] considered global solutions in 3D for small data in critical Besov spaces with . Chemin [14] obtained global solutions in 3D for small data in critical Besov spaces for all . Koch and Tataru [43] studied local solutions for initial data in and global solutions for small initial data in . Iwabuchi [39] considered the local well posedness of NS for initial data in modulation spaces , especially in with and the global well-posedness with .
On the other hand, NS is ill-posed in all critical Besov spaces with . Indeed, Bourgain and Pavlovic [6] obtained that NS is ill-posedness in , Germain [29] and Yoneda [64] showed that NS is ill-posedness in for . Finally, the ill-posedness of NS in all , was obtained in [60], where the ill-posedness means that the solution map is discontinuous at origin .
Foias and Temam [27] first proved spatial analyticity for the periodical solutions in Sobolev spaces. The analyticity of solutions in for NS was shown by Grujič and Kukavica [35], and Lemarié-Rieusset [45] gave a different approach based on multilinear singular integrals. Using iterative derivative estimates, the analyticity of NS for small initial data in was obtained in Germain, Pavlovic and Staffilani [30] (see also Dong and Li [21], Miura and Sawada [48] on the iterative derivative techniques). Bae, Biswas and Tadmor [1] obtained the analyticity of the solutions of NS in 3D for sufficiently small initial data in critical Besov spaces with .
Up to now, the well-posedness results of NS is known only for initial data in critical or subcritical function spaces. In super-critical function spaces, we have no well-posedness result on NS. For any , modulation space is a super-critical space of NS in the sense that for any , is a super-critical space and is rougher than , i.e., . We can show that NS has a unique global solution if the initial data belong to () and their Fourier transforms are supported in one octant. Now we state our main results.
Theorem 1.1
Let , , . Assume that and . Then there exists such that (1.9) has a unique mild solution , where
[TABLE]
for some sufficiently large and
[TABLE]
Moreover, there exists a small constant such that the solution is real analytic when .
If is sufficiently small in , we can take in Theorem 1.1. Obviously, for any . So, Theorem 1.1 covers the initial data with . Moreover, the initial condition can be replaced by
[TABLE]
Noticing that the partial derivatives of the Dirac measure for any , we see that for the initial data satisfying or , where is a polynomial and , the solution of NS is globally existing, unique and real analytic for any , where .
Unfortunately, implies that is not real valued. One may further ask if the condition is necessary. Using the ideas in showing the ill-posedness of NS in , we can easily show that cannot be removed for the global well-posedness in (cf. [60]).
As a further topic we study the global well-posedness of NS in modulation spaces , Iwabuchi [39] already obtained the global well-posedness of NS with small data in , . We can generalize his result to the case and consider the initial data in .
Theorem 1.2
Let , . Assume that is sufficiently small. Then (1.9) has a unique mild solution , where

We write and , with . denotes the characteristic function on . We denote , for any . () stands for the (sequence) Lebesgue space for which the norm is written as . Let be a Banach space. For any , we denote

The paper is organized as follows. In Section 2 we review some known results on Besov and Trieble spaces, and -multiplier, which will be frequently used in this paper. In Section 3 we mainly consider the relations between Gelfand-Shilov’s space and the modulation space with exponential weights. We introduce a hybrid Riesz potential-modulation space in Section 4, which is useful in the study of NS. In Section 5 we will show an equivalent norm of modulation spaces with negative exponential weight by using the frequency uniform decomposition operators, their relations to Besov spaces are established. Section 6 is devoted to the study of the semigroup and some basic estimates are obtained. Theorem 1.2 will be proven in Section 7. By considering a dilation property of in Section 8, one can scale the large data of NS in the space to sufficiently small data. Theorem 1.1 will be shown in Sections 9 and 10. In the Appendix we give the proofs of some results which are known for the experts engaged in the study of modulation spaces but may be unknown for the specialists in the other subjects.
2 Preliminary on Besov and Triebel spaces, -multiplier

Write and . are said to be the dyadic decomposition operators which satisfy the operator identity: . We write and denotes its dual space. The norms in homogeneous Besov spaces are defined as the subspace of for which the norm is defined by

[TABLE]
Let recall that Riesz potential spaces , and we have
[TABLE]
As the end of this section, we recall a criterion of the multiplier on . We denote by the multiplier space on , i.e.,

The following Bernstein’s multiplier estimate is well-known: for , , (cf. [3, 38, 62]),

3 Modulation spaces with tempered ultra-distributions
The short-time Fourier transform (STFT) of a function with respect to a window function is defined as follows (see [23, 32]):
[TABLE]
where and denote the translation and modulation operators, respectively. The STFT is closely related to the wave packet transform of Córdoba and Fefferman [18, 41] and the Wigner transform [32, 54]. It is a basic tool in time frequency analysis theory. It is known that (cf. [32])
[TABLE]
Let , . The STFT equipped with the norm generates modulation spaces for which the norm is given in [23]:
[TABLE]
with the usual modifications if or is infinite. is defined as the space of all tempered distributions for which is finite. The notion of coorbit spaces were introduced in [24] and as an example of coorbit spaces, modulation spaces were also generalized to cover some exponentially weighted cases, i.e., is replaced by in (3.3). In this paper we mainly interested in the modulation spaces with negative exponential weights, which contain a class of distributions which cannot be handled by the Björck’s tempered ultradistribution space.
3.1 Tempered ultradistributions
Generalized distribution functions have a rich physical background, such as white noises come from physical phenomena which were naturally formulated as distribution function theory in stochastic processes (cf. [7, 40]). In current paper we mainly interested in the distribution functions for which their Fourier transforms have a definite meaning. Since the convolution of a tempered distributions in and a Schwartz function has at most polynomial growth in , it seems interesting to make a generalization to the cases with exponential growth. A class of tempered ultradistributions were introduced by Björck [4] (see also Obiedat [49]). We denote by the collection of all real-valued functions such that , where is an increasing continuous concave function on with and
[TABLE]
where and are suitable constants. Let and we denote by the set of infinitely differentiable complex-valued functions satisfying
[TABLE]
equipped with the system of semi-norms is a complete locally convex topological space. We denote by the dual space of , which is said to be a tempered ultradistribution space up to sub-exponential growth, see [4, 34].
If , then . If , then and contains a class of distributions out of . However, if , we have . (3.4) becomes
[TABLE]
we denote by the set of infinitely differentiable complex-valued functions satisfying and . equipped with the system of semi-norms is a complete locally convex topological space, which is said to be the Gelfand-Shilov space of Beurling type, cf. [28, 52, 51].
3.2 Gelfand-Shilov space via the STFT
The modulation spaces with exponential weight with in (3.3) have been studied in [34]. Teofanov [54] studied the case and the corresponding modulation spaces with . For our purpose we only consider the case . For convenience, we denote
[TABLE]
with usual modification in the case and

where and is the STFT in (3.1). Denote
[TABLE]
We point that is an example of the coorbit spaces in [24]. It was shown in [34] (see also [17]) that is equivalent to for all . Some recent studies on the pseudo-differential operators on the Gelfand-Shilov spaces related to the STFT can be founded in [55, 56, 10, 44] and references therein.
Following Proposition 3.12 as in [34] (see also [16]), one sees that the the system of semi-norms on can be replaced by . Following this fact, we can show that
Proposition 3.1
We denote , which equipped with the system of norms generates a complete locally convex topological space. We have with equivalent topologies.
Proof. Noticing that and (cf. [33]), we have the result, as desired. See also Appendix for the details of the proof by following [16].
We easily see that contains at least Gaussian and the finite linear combinations of Hermite functions. Since is invariant under the translation and modulation, it contains also and their linear combinations. One may further ask if we can choose , , in the case it is possible, however, if , then contains only the function [math], cf. [5, 33, 34]. One may further ask if we can replace by , the answer is yes, however, noticing that , the space seems more natural if we choose to generate than the other spaces , or .
We denote by the dual space of . By Proposition 3.1 we have
Corollary 3.2
Let . Then are continuous embeddings.
Using a standard argument, we see that
Lemma 3.3
We have

Proof. It is easy to see that can be generated by the sequence of norms . We show that implies that (3.7) holds for all . If not, then there exists and varifying
[TABLE]
Denote . Then for any , let . By for , we have if . Hence in , but
[TABLE]
This contradicts with . By the density of in (see [32], or Appendix), we have that satisfying (3.7) is equivalent to .
Further, we can describe the dual space of by the STFT. We claim that is pointwise defined for any . Indeed, by duality we have
[TABLE]
Since , we see that
[TABLE]
Hence,

It follows that if . Moreover, we can further describe as follows.
Lemma 3.4
([32])* Let . Then we have is a continuous function on .*
Recall that is defined as the space of all such that
[TABLE]
Proposition 3.5** (Duality)**
We have under the duality
[TABLE]
for any and .
Proof. Let us follow [32], Theorem 11.3.6. For completeness we give the details of the proof. By Hölder’s inequality, we see that any generates a continuous functional on via (3.10).
Next, is isometric to a subspace of and
[TABLE]
is an isometric mapping. So, each continuous functional induces a bounded linear functional on by letting
[TABLE]
Then can be extended to continuous functional on whose norm will be preserved (its extension is still written as ). By the duality of , there exists such that,
[TABLE]
It follows that
[TABLE]
Now we introduce
[TABLE]
We can show that . In fact, we easily see that
[TABLE]
It follows from and Young’s inequality that
[TABLE]
So, it follows from Fubini’s theorem that for any ,
[TABLE]
It follows that . We have the result, as desired.
Remark 3.6
Similarly, we have for all . The integral in (3.10) can be understood as the limit of Riemann sums, since both and are continuous functions. More details related to this question can be found in [25].
Corollary 3.7
([32])* Let . Then there exist such that*
[TABLE]
Lemma 3.8
Let and . We have the following results:

Proof. Noticing that , we immediately have
[TABLE]
It follows that is an isometric mapping, which implies that is an isomorphism. To prove (ii), let us observe that for some polynomial ,
[TABLE]
Together with Proposition 3.1, we can show that the result of (ii) and (iii) and the details are omitted.
By Lemma 3.8, we can define the Fourier transform and multi-derivatives in exactly as in . For any , we define
[TABLE]
then we can make the Fourier transform and derivative operations in . Further, we can define the convolution operation in :
[TABLE]
Lemma 3.9** (Convolution algebra)**
We have and so, are continuous mappings. More precisely, we have
[TABLE]
Proof. We have for any ,
[TABLE]
Using we have
[TABLE]
Since we have
[TABLE]
So, we have the result, as desired.
Following the proof of Lemma 3.9, in order to guarantee that , it suffices to assume that . By Lemma 3.9, we can define the convolution for any , :
[TABLE]
Noticing that holds in , by Lemmas 3.8 and 3.9, we can also define for any , :
[TABLE]
Recall that if . Unfortunately, this property does not hold in ; cf. [34]. One may think that we can directly use as a test function space and its dual as a tempered ultra distribution space, since most useful distributions have been included by and moreover, a norm structure is much simpler than the topological structure of . However, cannot be a bounded operator in and we can only have for any , this is why we consider the dual of as a tempered ultradistribution space.
4 Hybrid Riesz potential-modulation spaces
Let be as in (1.5). are almost orthogonal, i.e., . For convenience, we will write and .
Let , . We denote by that is in for which the following norm is finite:
[TABLE]
and is said to be the hybrid Riesz potential-modulation space.
Proposition 4.1
Let , . Then we have
[TABLE]
Proof. Noticing that in the definition of ,
[TABLE]
we have
[TABLE]
For , one sees that From the equivalent norm on it follows that
[TABLE]
which implies the result, as desired.
So, we see that the lower frequency part of is , the higher frequency part of is .
5 Modulation spaces with negative exponential weight
5.1 Equivalent and complete norms, dual spaces
Let , and . Let us define
[TABLE]
Since is the collection of all , , is reasonable as a subspace of for all .
From the PDE point of view, the solutions are usually easier to control by the discrete STFT. So, we are looking for the frequency-localized version of , . For any , , the following space
[TABLE]
can be regarded as a class of modulation spaces with an exponential regularity, cf. [63]. Unfortunately, if , we cannot treat as a subspace of . In fact, let us consider a simple case , . Put
[TABLE]
It is easy to see that for all , however, . Of course, contains any order partial derivatives of Dirac measure . So, it is obliged to treat as a subspace of in the case . On the other hand, cannot contain a class of important functions whose Fourier transforms have compact support sets; cf. [34], which leads to that one cannot directly define for all , since is only well defined for .
One may consider the following sub-exponential regularity space with , for which the norm is given by
[TABLE]

Remark 5.1
Since , we see that for any , , implies that , so is meaningful. In general, we cannot define for all . However, is meaningful for any . Indeed, we have in . In view of in for sufficiently large, one sees that . It follows that is well-defined if .
If we consider the regularity weight as the power functions , we see that modulation spaces have equivalent norms as in (1.6) and (3.6). So, we conjecture that for the regularity weight as the exponential functions , we have similar equivalent norm in modulation spaces. However, may have no meaning if in (5.2) and so, we cannot directly use the norm as in (5.2) if . Fortunately, we can use (5.4) as a substitute and we have
Proposition 5.2
Let , , . Then we have with equivalent norms.

Hence, (6.32) and (6.33) imply that (6.26) holds.
Next, we prove (ii). First, we consider the case . By (6.30) and ,

8 Scaling property of
The scaling properties of (-)modulation spaces has been obtained in [53, 37]. For our purpose we consider the dilation property of , , which is quite different from (-) modulation spaces. Denote . We have
Proposition 8.1
Let , . Then we have
[TABLE]
and the constant omitted in the right hand side of (8.1) is independent of .
Proof. For convenience, we denote
[TABLE]
We can rewrite as
[TABLE]
Since , we have
[TABLE]
For any , we see that if , . It follows that
[TABLE]
Then we have for ,
[TABLE]
If we have
[TABLE]
It follows that
[TABLE]
By the estimates of and as in (8.5) and (8.6), we have the result, as desired.
Roughly speaking, the scaling in is the same as those of , which is independent of . Recall that for the scaling initial data , we have
[TABLE]
After making the scaling to , the initial data can be arbitrarily small if we take and . In the case , we have a stronger result:
Proposition 8.2
Let , , . Then we have for ,
[TABLE]
Proof. By the estimate of in (8.5), it suffices to consider the estimate of in (8.6). Let us observe that in . Take a sufficiently small . We have
[TABLE]
Take a smooth cut-off function , and in . We can assume that . For any , ,
[TABLE]
It follows that
[TABLE]
For any , , one can find some , such that
[TABLE]
It follows from that
[TABLE]
Hence, we have for any ,
[TABLE]
Now we show that can be arbitrarily small if we take . We have
[TABLE]
By Young’s inequality,
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
By taking and , we see that is sufficiently small.
Remark 8.3
In Proposition 8.1, we see that (8.1) is independent of and . However, in the proof of as , the convergent speed depends on . So, in Proposition 8.2, depends on .
The scaling of becomes worse in the case . For our purpose we only consider the scaling in and the scaling in with can be similarly considered.
Proposition 8.4

Noticing that if , we have the result, as desired.
9 Initial data in
The nonlinear estimates in Besov spaces with seem to be subtle, up to now we could not find any algebraic structure of in the case , for instance, one has that
[TABLE]
and it is impossible to reduce the regularity of (below ) to obtain (9.1), even if and satisfy some additional conditions. Similarly for in the case .
However, in the case has some algebraic structure if we consider a class of distributions whose Fourier transforms are “supported” in one octant.
First, we give some explanation to the support of , . Noticing that , one sees that . Recall that for any , is defined as the smallest closed set so that vanishes in the complementary set (i.e., for any test function with ). It follows that is well-defined. Now we can define
[TABLE]
Now we give a nonlinear mapping estimate in . We have
Lemma 9.1
Let , , and , . Assume that , . Then we have
[TABLE]
In particular,
[TABLE]
Proof. Let us consider the frequency uniform decomposition of , we have for ,
[TABLE]
Following the proof of Proposition 5.6, we see that
[TABLE]
and the equivalent constants in both side can be bounded by . Noticing that , we have for ,
[TABLE]
Taking the summation over all in (9), from Young’s inequality we have
[TABLE]
Taking , we have (9.3).
One may further ask if the condition , can be removed in Lemma 9.1. The answer is definitely negative. In fact, let and , where is defined in (1.4). We see that
[TABLE]
However, noticing that , we easily see that
[TABLE]
Proof of Theorem 1.1. Step 1. We consider the case and is sufficiently small. We consider the mapping
[TABLE]
in the space and we introduce
[TABLE]
For any with , we have . It follows that if . For any , we have
[TABLE]
By Corollary 6.8,
[TABLE]
and by Corollary 6.8 and Lemma 9.1
[TABLE]
From (9.7)–(9) it follows that
[TABLE]
Hence, if and is sufficiently small, we can conclude that . Similarly,
[TABLE]
which implies that is contractive in . Again, in view of Corollary 6.8, we see that .
*Step * 2. We consider the case and is sufficiently small. Let and
[TABLE]
and we show that is a contraction mapping in . By Corollary 6.9,
[TABLE]
It follows from (9.2) that
[TABLE]
Hence, in view of (9.11) and (9.13),
[TABLE]
By a standard contraction mapping argument, we can show that NS has a unique mild solution with if is sufficiently small. Moreover,
[TABLE]
By Corollary 6.9, by taking , from (9.2) we have
[TABLE]
It follows that the solution .
Step 3. We consider any initial value . Make a scaling to by letting
[TABLE]
Since , in view of Proposition 8.2 we see that
[TABLE]
By treating as initial data for NS, we see that NS has a unique mild solution . One sees that is the solution of NS with initial data . By Proposition 8.4, we see that for some , where for , and for .
In the proof of Theorem 1.1, the condition for initial data can be replaced by the following slightly weaker version:
[TABLE]
where for , for . Using the embedding for any , we see that can be replaced by , .
10 Analyticity of solutions
In this subsection, we show that for the sufficiently small initial data with , the corresponding solution will be analytic after the time . Since the scaling solution with initial data which are sufficiently small in , we obtain that there exists such that the solution has the analyticity after the time . It follows that has the analyticity after .
Let . By Lemma 6.1, we see that
[TABLE]
Taking the norms in both sides of (10.1), we immediately have
Lemma 10.1
Let , . Then there exists such that
[TABLE]
Again, in view of Lemma 6.1,
[TABLE]
By Young’s inequality, we have
Lemma 10.2
Let , , . Then there exists such that
[TABLE]
Corollary 10.3
Let . We have for
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
Proof. If , the result follows from Lemmas 10.1 and 10.2. If , the results have been shown in Corollary 6.8.
Recall that for , we denote
[TABLE]
Take . It follows from Corollary 10.3 that
[TABLE]
So, one needs to make a bilinear estimate in . We can imitate the ideas in Lemma 7.1 to show that
Lemma 10.4
Let , , . Then we have
[TABLE]
Proof. We use the same notations as in Lemma 7.1. Following the proof of Proposition 5.6, we see that
[TABLE]
where the equivalent constants are . Noticing that , we have for ,
[TABLE]
After showing the dependence of the exact constants to , we can repeat the procedure as in the proof of Lemma 7.1 to get the result, as desired.
Now let us fix such that . We can use the same way to construct contraction mapping as in Section 9. Put
[TABLE]
We consider the mapping
[TABLE]
in the space . We have from (10.10), (10.11) and Lemma 10.4 that
[TABLE]
Then, we can show by a standard contraction mapping argument that NS has a unique solution if is sufficiently small. Moreover, in view of Corollary 10.3 we see that .
Recall that is sufficiently small implies that NS is globally well-posed in , the solution obtained in must coincide with the global solution. Now let , one can extend the solution starting from and consider the mapping
[TABLE]
Using the same way as in (10.14), we have
[TABLE]
Noticing that , we can assume that and obtain a unique solution . Repeating the procedures as above, we obtain that the solution of NS , .
In the case , the argument is similar to the case by using the following result:
Corollary 10.5
Let . There exists and such that for any and ,
[TABLE]
Proof. The results in the case are the same ones as Corollary 6.9 and the case is from Lemmas 10.1 and 10.2.
Using the same way as the case , we can show that the solution satisfying
[TABLE]
if is sufficiently small and the details are omitted.
If , we see that (see Appendix), where the functions are analytic. So, the solution is spatial analytic if . It follows that is spatial analytic if .

11.1 Proofs of some results in Sections 3 and 5
Following Theorem 11.4.2 in [32], Propositions 3.1, 5.8 and 5.9 can be shown by imitating the arguments as in those of modulation spaces in [32]. Here we give the details of the proofs.
Proof of Proposition 3.1. For any , we have (cf. [32])
[TABLE]
It follows from that
[TABLE]
Hence . Replacing by in the above inequality and noticing that , we have .
Conversely, for any , we have from (3.2) that
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
Noticing that
[TABLE]

Proof of Proposition 5.8. Since and are equivalent norms, a Cauchy sequence in satisfies
[TABLE]
It follows that is a Cauchy sequence in , which has a limit . We may assume that . In fact, in view of Bernstein’s estimate,
[TABLE]
one can replace by if the support of not contained in . Put , we see that
[TABLE]
By Fatou’s Lemma, we have
[TABLE]
So, is complete.
In order to show the density of in , we need a Gabor expansion in modulation spaces (cf. [32]).
Proposition 11.1
Let , . Then has an expansion
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
The same expansion holds for .
**Proof of Proposition 5.9. ** It suffices to consider the case . By the equivalent norm on , we see that
[TABLE]
For any , we have , which has a Gabor expansion
[TABLE]
Since , we see that (11.1) also holds in . Noticing that , we have the result, as desired.
Proposition 11.2
* is dense in .*
Proof. It is a direct consequence of the Gabor expansion in , cf. [32], Theorem 13.6.1.
11.2 Relations between and Gevrey class
Let , and . Recall that the Gevrey class is defined as follows.
[TABLE]
It is known that is the Gevrey 1-class. Moreover, we easily see that for any . There is a very beautiful relation between Gevrey class and exponential modulation spaces, we can show that . Roughly speaking, can be regarded as modulation spaces with analytic regularity. It is easy to see that .
Proposition 11.3
( [57], Nikol’skij’s inequality)* Let be a compact set, Let us denote and assume that . Then there exists a constant such that*
[TABLE]
holds for all and . Moreover, if , then the above inequality holds for all .
Proposition 11.4
Let . Then
[TABLE]
Proof. We have
[TABLE]
We easily see that
[TABLE]
Since is translation invariant, in view of Nikol’skij’s inequality we have
[TABLE]
It is easy to calculate that
[TABLE]
It follows that
[TABLE]
If we can show that
[TABLE]
then together with for all (cf. [63]), we immediately have
[TABLE]
for any . Noticing that is arbitrary, it follows from (11.8) that
[TABLE]
Now we show (11.7). Using Taylor’s expansion, we see that
[TABLE]
from which we see that (11.7) holds.
Next, we show that . We have
[TABLE]
If , we see that
[TABLE]
If , in view of Nikol’skij’s inequality, for some ,
[TABLE]
By (11.2) and (11.2), if and , then for any ,
[TABLE]
By (11.12) and (11.14), we have . It follows that . Noticing that , we immediately have .
