This paper is oriented to an elementary introduction to function spaces with variable exponents and a survey of related function spaces. After providing basic and elementary properties of generalized Lebesgue spaces Lp(·)(Rn) with variable exponents, we give rearranged proofs of the theorems by Diening (2004), Cruz-Uribe, Fiorenza and Neugebauer (2003, 2004), Nekvinda (2004) and Lerner (2005). They are maybe simpler than the originals. Moreover, we deal with topics related to Lp(·)(Rn). For example, we present an alternative proof for Lerner’s theorem on the modular inequality and a detailed proof of the density in Sobolev spaces with variable exponents. Furthermore, we will describe the recent results of fractional integral operators and Calderón-Zygmund operators on Lp(·)(Rn). Finally, we survey recent results (without proofs) on several function spaces with variable exponents, for example, generalized Morrey and Campanato spaces with variable growth condition, Hardy spaces Hp(·)(Rn), Besov spaces B p(·),q(·)(R ) and Triebel-Lizorkin spaces F s(·) p(·),q(·)(R ), etc. Preface Recently, in harmonic analysis, partial differential equations, potential theory and applied mathematics, many authors investigate function spaces with variable exponents. In particular, function spaces with variable exponents are necessary in the field of electronic fluid mechanics [177] and the applications to the image restoration [17, 65, 108]. Kovacik and Rakosnik [101] gave an application of generalized Lebesgue spaces with variable exponents to Dirichlet boundary value problems for nonlinear partial differential equations with coefficients of a variable growth. Another simple example of the application to differential equations can be found in [49, p. 438, Example], where Fan and Zhao implicitly showed that the variable Lebesgue spaces can be used to control the non-linear term of differential equations. The theory of Lebesgue spaces with variable exponents dates back to Orlicz’s paper [163] (1931) and Nakano’s books [158, 159] (1950, 1951). In particular, the definition of so-called Musielak-Orlicz spaces is clearly written in [158, Section 89], while it seems that Orlicz is mainly interested in completeness of function spaces. Later, Sharapudinov [208] (1979) and Kováčik and Rákosńık [101] (1991) clarified fundamental properties of Lebesgue spaces with variable exponents and Sobolev spaces with variable exponents. This important achievement nowadays leads to the hot discussion of function spaces with variable exponents. A noteworthy fact is that Fan and Zhao independently investigated Lebesgue spaces with variable exponents and Sobolev spaces with variable exponents. One of the important problems in this field is to prove the boundedness of the HardyLittlewood maximal operator M on generalized Lebesgue spaces Lp(·)(Rn) with variable exponents. Once this is established, our experience makes us feel that this boundedness can 2010 Mathematics Subject Classification. 46E30, 42B25, 46E35, 42B20, 26A33, 42B30, 42B35, 46E15, 46A80, 46B10.
