Query edit

Who calls these Birnbaum-Orlicz spaces? No offense to Prof. Birnbaum, but I've always heard them referred to as Orlicz spaces. Shall we start calling L^p a Banach-Wiener spaces? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 139.67.20.36 (talk) 15:22, 21 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

The term Birnbaum-Orlicz is sometimes used in the literature; see this paper for example. However, these spaces are typically referred to as Orlicz spaces. I believe this is something we should highlight in the article. Sopasakis p (talk) 11:25, 28 December 2017 (UTC)Reply


Is that stuff really in Evans's book or is the reference vacuous? I quickly checked my copy and found nothing on Orlicz or Orlicz-Sobolev spaces. Matti Nuortio, Oulu, Finland 14:27, 18 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

See the Sobolev emebdding theorems for the "boundary case" k p = n. Sullivan.t.j 14:34, 18 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

Orlicz-Sobolev spaces? edit

Are there Orlicz space-based Sobolev spaces? Temur (talk) 07:18, 28 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

Yes, and they are called Orlicz-Sobolev spaces, exactly as you guessed. A Google Scholar search on those words will turn up a lot of papers. Perturbationist (talk) 01:59, 30 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

L1 and Orlicz axioms edit

The L1 space for p=1 does not seem to satisfy the axioms of an Orlicz norm, since \Psi(t) = t is the only reasonable choice, yet t^-1*\Psi(t) does not have the claimed limit properties. Yet the article claims Birnbaum-Orlicz spaces generalize Lebesgue spaces.

Well, it generalizes Lebesgue spaces, except for L1 and L. Boris Tsirelson (talk) 12:54, 27 March 2015 (UTC)Reply
Actually   is a Young function. I find it strange that, according to this article, a Young function must satisfy  . This is not the case according to the book of M. Ledoux and M. Talagrand, neither according to any other references I have read. I believe we need to rectify this post. Sopasakis p (talk) 11:25, 28 December 2017 (UTC)Reply
I also have a question about  . I have been working on this, and I always see people require  . The 0 limit condition seems to be too strong.

Birnbaum–Orlicz spaceOrlicz space – As explained in the article, the shorter name is by far more common and, according to professionals, more justified historically. Tarnoob (talk) 22:50, 17 October 2020 (UTC) Relisting. (t · c) buidhe 23:05, 25 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
