Abstract

In this article, the authors provide some new characterizations of several vanishing Campanato spaces using a type of oscillation defined within the general framework of ball Banach function spaces. This approach yields fresh insights even in the special case of the vanishing BMO space. The characterization reveals a self-improvement phenomenon inherent in vanishing Campanato spaces. A key innovation of this approach lies in using higher-order differences to dominate oscillations. Instead of directly estimating these differences, the authors achieve the domination by smoothing the function via convolution. As additional outcomes, the authors also obtain new characterizations of vanishing Campanato spaces in terms of higher-order differences. Finally, the authors present several examples to show that these vanishing Campanato spaces naturally arise in the study on the compactness of fractional integral commutators in Morrey spaces.
