Abstract :
[en] In [8,7], the properties of generalized uniform Hölder spaces have been investigated. The idea underlying the definition is to replace the exponent α of the usual spaces Λ^α(R^d) (see e.g. [6]) with a sequence σ satisfying some conditions. The so-obtained spaces Λ^σ(R^d) generalize the spaces Λ^α(R^d); the spaces Λ^σ(R^d) are actually the spaces B^{1/σ_{∞,∞}(R^d), but they present specific properties (induced by L^∞-norms) when compared to the more general spaces B^{1/σ}_{p,q}(R^d) studied in [2,4,1,5,9,10] for example. Indeed it is shown in [8,7] that most of the usual properties holding for the spaces Λ^α(R^d) can be transposed to the spaces Λ^σ(R^d).
Here, we introduce the pointwise version of these spaces: the spaces Λ^{σ,M}(x_0), with x_0∈R^d. Let us recall that a function f∈L^∞_loc(R^d) belongs to the usual pointwise Hölder space Λ^α(x_0) (α>0) if and only if there exist C,J>0 and a polynomial P of degree at most α such that
sup_{|h|≤2^{−j}} |f(x_0+h)−P(h)|≤C2^{−jα}.
As in [8,7], the idea is again to replace the sequence (2^{−jα})_j appearing in this inequality with a positive sequence (σ_j)j such that σ_{j+1}/σ_j is bounded (for any j); the number M stands for the maximal degree of the polynomial (this degree can not be induced by a sequence σ). By doing so, one tries to get a better characterization of the regularity of the studied function f. Generalizations of the pointwise Hölder spaces have already been proposed (see e.g. [3]), but, to our knowledge, the definition we give here is the most general version and leads to the sharpest results.
