Variable Besov Spaces: Continuous Version

Abstract

We introduce Besov spaces with variable smoothness and integrability by using the continuous version of Calderón reproducing formula. We show that our space is well-defined, i.e., independent of the choice of basis functions. We characterize these function spaces by so-called Peetre maximal functions and we obtain the Sobolev embeddings for these function spaces. We use these results to prove the atomic decomposition for these spaces.
