1 Introduction
Let . The Morrey space , introduced in [14], is defined as the set of all for which
[TABLE]
where
[TABLE]
Note that, for , coincides with the Lebesgue space . Meanwhile, if , then is strictly larger than . For instance, the function belongs to but it is not in .
As a generalization of Lebesgue spaces, one may inquire whether the interpolation of linear operators in Morrey spaces also holds. The first answer of this question was given by G. Stampacchia in [16]. He proved a partial generalization of the Riesz-Thorin interpolation theorem in Morrey spaces where the domain of the linear operator is assumed to be the Lebesgue spaces. However, when the domain of the linear operator is Morrey spaces, there are some counterexamples for the interpolation of linear operator in Morrey spaces (see [3, 15]). Although these examples show the lack of interpolation property of Morrey spaces, there are some recent results about the description of complex interpolation of Morrey spaces. The first result in this direction can be found in [6], where the authors proved that if
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
then
[TABLE]
Here, denotes the first complex interpolation space. Assuming the additional assumption
[TABLE]
Lu et al. [13] proved that
[TABLE]
The corresponding result on the second complex interpolation spaces was obtained by Lemarié-Rieusset [12]. A generalization of the results in [13, 12] in the setting of the generalized Morrey spaces can be seen in [7, 8].
In addition to complex interpolation of Morrey spaces, there are several papers on the description of complex interpolation of some closed subspaces of Morrey spaces. For instance, Yang et al. [18] proved that
[TABLE]
where the parameters are given by (1.1) and (1.2) and denotes the closure in of the set of smooth functions with compact support. Other results on complex interpolation of closed subspaces of Morrey spaces are considered in [8, 9, 10, 11, 19]. In particular, the authors in [8] consider the space
In this article, we shall investigate complex interpolation of vanishing Morrey spaces. These spaces were introduced in [1, 4]. Let us recall the their definition as follows.
Definition 1.1**.**
Let . The vanishing Morrey space at the origin and the vanishing Morrey space at infinity are defined by
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
respectively. The third subspace is the space which is defined to be the set of all functions such that
[TABLE]
Our main results are the following two theorems.
Theorem 1.2**.**
Assume (1.1), (1.4), and . Define and by (1.2). Then
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
Theorem 1.3**.**
Assume (1.1) and (1.4). Define and by (1.2).
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
Note that (1.2) and (1.10) are immediate once we notice that (see Lemma 3.1). In addition to the vanishing Morrey spaces, we discuss the space , that is, the set of all functions for which in the topology of . These spaces were first introduced in [20]. We show that is equal to the diamond space , namely, the closure in of all functions such that for all and (see Theorem 5.1 below). As a consequence, the complex interpolation of follows from the result in [9]. Remark that the authors in [1] also introduced the space which is defined by
[TABLE]
Since this space is equal to and (1.6) holds, we do not consider the complex interpolation of this space.
The rest of this article is organized as follows. In Section 2 we recall the definition of the complex interpolation method and some previous results about complex interpolation of Morrey spaces and their subspaces. We give the proof of Theorems 1.2 and 1.3 in Sections 3 and 4, respectively. In Section 5, we show that is equal to . Finally, we compare each subspace in Theorems 1.2 and 1.3 and investigate their relation by giving several examples in Section 6.

so . Hence, . Thus, . Since is a closed subspace of , we conclude that . ∎
Lemma 3.2**.**
Let . Then .
Proof.
Let . Then, for every , we have
[TABLE]
Consequently, . Therefore, . We now show that
[TABLE]
For every , we have
[TABLE]
Therefore, since the right-hand side is zero for large we have
[TABLE]
which implies (3.1). ∎
Lemma 3.3**.**
Let , , and . Define and by
[TABLE]
Then we have the following inclusions:
[TABLE]
Proof.
We only prove the first inclusion. The proof of another inclusion is similar. Let . Then
[TABLE]
By Hölder’s inequality, for every , we have
[TABLE]
Combining this inequality and (3.2), we get , so , as desired. ∎
Proposition 3.4**.**
Let be such that in . For a fixed , define
[TABLE]

Proof.
Observe that (1.2) and (1.4) imply
[TABLE]
Without loss of generality, assume that . Define and . Since
[TABLE]
by using (3.4), we have
[TABLE]
Taking and using the fact that , we have . Moreover, by (3.5), we also have
[TABLE]
By a similar argument, we have and
[TABLE]
Combining (3.6) and (3.7), we have and
[TABLE]
We now show the continuity of . Let and be such that . Since
[TABLE]
by using (3.6), we have
[TABLE]
Similarly,

Hence, is continuous on . The proof of holomorphicity of in goes as follows. For every , define
[TABLE]
and . As a consequence of (3.6) and (3.7), we have
[TABLE]
so . Now, let and be such that . Then
[TABLE]
Combining (3.6) and (3), we get
[TABLE]
Similarly,
[TABLE]
Here the implicit constants in (3) and (3.12) can depend on . Hence, it follows from (3.12) and (3.13) that
[TABLE]
so is holomorphic in . Finally, we show the boundedness and continuity of the function for each . Note that, by using (3.4), we have
[TABLE]
so and
[TABLE]
Hence, is bounded. Let be fixed. Then, by (3.14), for every , we have
[TABLE]
so
[TABLE]
This shows that is continuous. Hence, we have shown that . Thus, . ∎
Remark 3.5**.**
The similar result is also valid when is replaced by .
We are now ready to prove Theorem 1.2.
Proof of Theorem 1.2.

[TABLE]
Conversely, let . Then, by virtue of Theorem 2.10, we have
[TABLE]
Define by (3.3). Then, by virtue of Proposition 3.4, we have
[TABLE]
Moreover, for every with , we have
[TABLE]
so by (3.17), we see that is a Cauchy sequence in . Consequently, there exists such that
[TABLE]
By using again, we see that (3.18) implies
[TABLE]
Since , we may combine (3.17) and (3.19) to obtain , so . This completes the proof of Theorem 1.2. ∎

[TABLE]
Since , we can choose , , and such that ,
[TABLE]
Note that, by virtue of Lemma 4.1 and the inequality
[TABLE]
we have Therefore, (4.2) is valid once we can show that
[TABLE]
Since
[TABLE]
for every , we have
[TABLE]
By using , we have
[TABLE]
Meanwhile, by using the Hölder inequality, we get
[TABLE]
Combining (4.3), (4), (4.6), and (4), we obtain (4.4). ∎
We are now ready to prove Theorem 1.3.
Proof of Theorem 1.3.
By virtue of Theorem 2.11 and Lemma 3.1, we have
[TABLE]
Combining this, , and Theorem 2.9, we have (1.10). Next, we only show (1.11) because we can prove (1.12) by a similar argument. Let . Then there exists such that
[TABLE]
Consequently,
[TABLE]
where is defined in Lemma 2.7. Combining (4.8) with the second part of Theorem 1.2, Lemma 2.7 and , we have
[TABLE]
Therefore, by virtue of Lemma 4.3, we have and for every . We now show that
[TABLE]
Suppose that belongs to the set in the left-hand side of (4.9). Let and be defined by (2.2) and (2.3), respectively. In view of Proposition 2.8, we only need to show that
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
The proof of (4.10) goes as follows. Define and . For every , we write . Then, by (2.4), we have
[TABLE]
Since , by virtue of Lemma 4.1, we have . Meanwhile,
[TABLE]
This implies
[TABLE]
Therefore, . Consequently, . By a similar argument, we also have . Since , we obtain (4.10). We now prove (4.11). For every , we define
[TABLE]
It follows from (2.4) that
[TABLE]
Therefore, by virtue of Lemma 4.1, we have . Moreover,
[TABLE]
Consequently, . Combining this and , we obtain (4.11), as desired. ∎
