Self-improving properties of weighted Gehring classes with applications to partial differential equations

In this paper, we prove that the self-improving property of the weighted Gehring class G(lambda)(p). with a weight lambda holds in the non-homogeneous spaces. The results give sharp bounds of exponents and will be used to obtain the self-improving property of the Muckenhoupt class A(q). By using the rearrangement (nonincreasing rearrangement) of the functions and applying the Jensen inequality, we show that the results cover the cases of non-monotonic functions. For applications, we prove a higher integrability theorem and report that the solutions of partial differential equations can be solved in an extended space by using the self-improving property. Our approach in this paper is different from the ones used before and is based on proving some new inequalities of Hardy type designed for this purpose.

Automated summary

This paper proves the self-improving property of the weighted Gehring class in non-homogeneous spaces, obtaining sharp bounds of exponents and applying it to the self-improving property of the Muckenhoupt class. By utilizing rearrangement of functions and Jensen inequality, the results cover non-monotonic functions and provide a higher integrability theorem. Furthermore, solutions of partial differential equations can be solved in an extended space using this self-improving property, reflecting a different approach to inequalities of Hardy type.
