PREFACE The first version of these notes was published in Polish by the A. Mickiewicz University in 1978, under the title "Iv10dular spaces". It contained Sections 1,3,4,15-22 of the psent text, which is enlarged by the theory of generalized Orlicz spaces. We limit ourselves to the case of spaces of scalar-valued functions, which is most fundamental for the applications. The general, not necessarily convex case is stressed as is modular convergence, not only norm convergence. The reader who intends to study generalized Orlicz spaces only, may restrict himself to Sections 1,2 and 5 of Chapter I and proceed then directly to Chapter II. The author would like 1;0 acknowledge the help of all who have con- tributed to the present text. Doz. Dr. A. Kozek, the referee of "1'i10- dular spaces" to "Wiadomosci Matematyczne", was so kind as to communi- cate to the author his de.tailed critical remarks. "Modular spaces" was also read critically by Dr. H. Hudzik and Dr. A. Ka:minska, who contri- buted their valuable remarks. The content of some parts of the presen't; Section 12 was communicated to the author by Doz. Dr. L. Drewnowski, and Dr. H. Hudzik is the author of the first draft of Section 14. The author would like also to express his gratitude to the many others who helped in any way in preparation of this book. Julian IvLusielak Poznan, March 1983

CHAPTER I IvIODULAR SPACES 1.Modular spaees 1.1. Definition . Lt X be a real or complex vector space. A func- tional :X-LO,<D] is called a pseudomodular , if there ho"ds for arbi- trary x,y eX: 1 0 2 0 f;lOI = 0, (-:X:)::I (X) in case of X real it (e x)::I (x) for every real t in case of X complex, o 3 £?(oCx+py) ftX)+ l;(Y) for d.'(.>'l0' OI,+(?,= 1. If in place of 3 0 there holds 3 0 , (Q.'x+ yJ s (X)+ f:'s (YI for o-,f.> 0, o:,s+ (3s ::I 1 with an s €(O, 1) , then the pseudomodular r:: is called s-convex . 1-con- vex pseudomodulars are calle d convex . If besides 1 0 there holds also 1 0 , ().x)=Oforall 11)0 impliesx""O, then is called a semimodular . If moreover, 1 0 " lx)= ° implies :x: = 0, then is called a modular . 1.2. Examples . I. If X is an s-normed space with an s-homogeneous norm /I lis, then lx)= IIXI/ s ii3 an s-convex modular in X. Similarly, if II t is an s-homogeneous pseudonorm in X, then 9tx) sllx/l s is an s-con- vex pseudomodular in X. However, in general a modular is not a norm; among others, it may assume the value +00 . II. Let X = L P over the interval [a,bJ, then (X) ...S iXLtJIPdt is a p-convex modular on X for 0< p < 1 and a convex modular on X for p 1. III. Let X be the space of real numbers and let (X/? ° for every x E X, (OJ "" 0. Then 2 0 means that (f is an even function, 3 0 is equi- valent to the statement that the function C? is nondecreasing for x ?-O, and 3 0 , with s = 1 means that is a convex function. 1.3.Properties of pseudomodulars .

If fl is a pseudomodular in X, then X = {xC:::X: lim ().x)= oj "..,. 0 is called a modular space . Obviously, X is a vector sUbspace of X. In the following, we shall need the notions of an F-norm (F-pseu.- donorm) and of an s-norm (s-pseudonorm). Let us recall that a funo- tional I I: X_[O,oo) in a vector space X is called an F-pseudonorm , if it satisfies the following conditions: (a] 101= 0, (b) J-xl-lxl (orleitxl"" IXI for real t in case of a complex spa.ce X) , (e] Ix+yj Ixl+jYI ,(d) if clk f/, and 1-xl""O, then Idk- xl-O. If, moreover, (el Ixl"" 0 im- plies x :::; 0, then I I is called an F-norm . Every F-norm (F-pseudonorm) I I such that /ctx I is a nondecreasing function of (;t 0 for every x "X is a modular (pseudomodular) in X. It should be noted that for every F-norm I J one can define an equivalent F-norm satisfying the above condition (see S.Rolewicz [2], p.16). If I I: X-.,,[O,oo) satisfies the above conditions (a)-(c) and the condition(d*) Id.X'- 1<Lls'xl,O<s1, then I I is called an s-homogeneous pseudonorm or briefly, an s-pseu.- donorm , and adding (&), we obtain an s-norm in X. .A:a s-norm we shalJ.. usually denote II lIs. If s - 1, we obtain a norm which will be denoted " II. A space X with an F-norm (s-norm, norm) is a metric vector space with distance d(x,y)=Jx-YI. , .5 .

If <? is an s-convex pseudomodular, 0 <: 10 1, then fiX"; '" inf u;>O: ( u/ s) 'S 11 is an s-pseudonorm in X, and the properties I-III remain valid if we replace I I by 1/ Is. If is an s-convex semimodular t then " II is 1 an s-homogeneous norm in X (if 10 '" 1 t we shall write also /I II = 1\ fJf)' . It is clear that the set {u /,0: (') u} is nonemty for xEX, and.o OJXI(OO and 'Ol= O. Also the symmetry conditioni-xf= 'xl (or le XI) '" 'xl) is obvious. Moreover, if is a semimodular and IXJ= 0t then () u ;for every u,O, and so 1f().x) e'''ux J.1 X for o <u <;;.. and every :\,.Oc Thus ()..x)", 0 for all /I;> 0, and so 'x'" O. Now, let x,y (i X and a /,0t u = IXf f +a, 'V '" iYI + b. Then () $ u and () Vt whence . G: ) za (;v + U:v ) (>(}+ ) Ui-v. Hence !X+YI Ul-v+2a, and we obtain iX+YI(ixi +IY/r' because a>O is arbitrary. Properties I and II follow from the definition of I I and from the Property 1.3, immediately. Now, let <Xk --'» 0( and ixl- O. Writing =: d.k-a and Yk '" -x , we have _ 0 and iY1rI O. Now, x ( akJj" given an E70, we get () -;>0 as k oo, and sO TJ E for suf- ficiently large k. Hence JXI( Oc Consequently, taking as N a positi- ve integer such that I' N for all k and lal N, we have I -oixtI(-x)j + I(-.x)xl< jNY k '4 + lxl N lykJ f + lx""O as k-oo. We prove now that tX)lx Jfor Ix I< 1. Indeed, let IXlf< u< 1, then () u, and 100 tx)= (u;i)G).$ u. Since u is arbitrary, this implies (x)lxlr The proof of the second part of the theorem with an s-convex pseu.- domodular runs along similar lines to the above:, taking 0(::> 0, we have 10 ( Ol X ) . ? 10 r. u x ) < 1 s. 10 I,iixll = inf {u)'o: t:; / 1j=d: inf't'/O: ) 1/10 ,,1 "'rX IIXA. u 10 u/o{s 1.6.

We limit ourselves to the proof of the first part of the si&- tement, with x '" O. Let (i\) -? 0 for eve ry > 0, then for an arbi t- rary AO there exists an index k such that .o(:x,}<.: + for kk . . 1 0) K,/\ "0 Hence If A for kko' and so 1lfO. Conversely, let II_O, then JAXJ.tlf-» 0 for every ).. >0. Taking 0<.: € < 1, there en lOtS a k 1 such that 1.).XJ.tI< € for kk1' Hence (A)$' 1\XJ.tI<!:' for kk1' and so (A)-+O. 1.7. Definition . A pseudomodular in X will be called a) right- continUous , if lim c; (). x)'" f (x \ for all x f: X f ' A-" 1+ b) left-continuous , if lim <:,CA xl: (x) for all x E X<, ' >. 1- c) continuous , if it is both right-continuous and left-continuous. 1.8. Theorem . Let be an s-convex pseudomodular in X. If rr is right-continuous, then the inequalities jiXJl; < 1 and (x)< 1 aLe equi- valent for every x E-X. If is left-continuous, then the inequalities lbel'; 1 and (xJ 1 are equivalent for every x, X. This theorem follows from the above definition, imro.ediately. Let us still remark that the equivalences mentioned in 1.8 are not generally valid without continuity assumptions on fj , as show the examples where X is the space of real numbers and f1 (x): 0 for 0 x 1, 1 (xI'" 00 for 10 2lx): 00 forx f 1, because IIxl/1: x71, or 2{.x)", 0 for 0x<1, . s . I s !lXJ/2 =: Ix . 1.9 .Examples . A function If defined in the interval [0,00) , nonde- creasing and continuous for U? 0 and such that \f(0) = 0, \flu) 0 for u;>o, If(u) 00 as u CD , is called a If- function . Let i!L., ,,.....) be a measure space , i.e..Q.. is a nonempty set, :2: is a <J"-algebra of subsets ofJl and f- is a nonnegative, complete measure in "2 , which does not vanish iden- tically. 1. Let X be the space of all real-valued (or complex-valued) Z-mea- surable and I'-almo lOt everywhe re finite functions on..!l, with eq uali ty f-almost everywhere. Then (X)=Sif(JX(t)l)d for Xt X .A
5 is a continuous modular in X. If <f is additionally an s-convex funo - tion , i.e. If(oC'Ui-r-v) o(s\f'(u)+ s\f(V) for u,vO, oc,f-' 0, ct s +f.>s=1, where 0< 10 1, then f is an s-convex modular in X. The respective modular space X is called an Orlicz space and denoted LIf(...Q., ,) or briefly L'i'; we shall deal with Orlicz spaces and their generalizations in Chapter II. II. Let be a. 6"-algebra of subsets of a nonempty set..a and let 1: be a nonempty set, which will be called the set of parame1a:'s. Let I':'"' us suppose that to every I('e t there corresponds a nonnegative, comple- te measure r't" on:£ , which does not vanish identically. Let X be the spaoe of all real-valued (or complex-valued) .[-measurable functions, 1-t.;-almost everywhere finite for every 1:'€- '[ , with equality fT.-almost r.- everywhere for all tt'G- c.... . Then (x)= sup S (tx(t)l)df'l1:- L't -..a is a modular in X. If 'f is additionally s-convex, then C1 is an S-CCl,l\- vex modular in X. In case when the set l' consists of one eJs1ent only, Example II is reduced to Example I. III. Let us yet consider the following special case of Example II. We take both IL and r as the set of all positive integers, md as 2: the (1-algebra of all subsets of..Q.. Given an infinite matrix [ani] of nonnegative numbers such that for every i there exists an n for which a - F O. For any A c:..a. we define M (A) = 2: a.. Then the modular ro. r n iroA n:L from Example II be come 10 00 lX)= sup 2: a .to(lt.1) n i=1 n ) If a . = 1 for all i and n, we obtain ro. for x =(t.). CD x) = 2: If( It.!), 1 and the re sul ting modular space X is the Orlicz seq uence space =- . IV. Let 'T and X be defined as in Example II. Moreover, let. be a Hausdorff topolOgical space, 4?; and = 'f () {t'o f. A topology in f is defined, taking as neighbourhoods of 'L the complements with res- o 0 pect to of compact sets in f . Then lx;:2 lli f \f (jxtt)/)dt< :2 inf sup S <P((x(t)1) d ' 'C"'t"o - ... U 't"E, U 'lTv$ .:2.
6 where U runs over all neighbourhoods of 'i:' in T, is a pseudomodular o 0 in X. If If is additionally s-convex, then is an s-convex pseudomo- dular in X. V. Let X be the space of all real-valued (or comPlex-valued) func- tions defined in an interval [a, b] and vanishing at t = a. The value (posSibly also 00) m V(a (x)= sup L. W( Ix (t.J - x (t. _ 1 )1) f :r IT i=1 I ). where the supremum is taken over all partitions IT: a=t (t < .. .<t '" b o 1 m of the interval La, b], is called the cp- variation of the function x f X. The f-variation VI.f is a modular in X, and in case of if s-convex, is an s-convex modular in X. VI. T u.rning back to Example 1.2.1 of an s-normed space X with an 10- norm 1111 10 , 0 < 10 1, the s-norm II lIs defined by means of the modular E;(xr UXl's as in Theorem 1.5 is equal to ",,10, Le. IIxll "'uxUs for all x t X. ) We go now back to the definition of the s-paeudonorm II II; in X?' gi- ven in 1.5, and we show that there exists another s-pseudonorm in XIS equivalent to " lit . 1.10.

In case of 10 :2 1, the norm II If( If 1I in.I f is called the - burg !!.Q.!1!! and the norm III 1//( III '/I in Xe is called the .Amemiva !!Q.m. Applying the notion of the conjugate modular It we shall introduce in 2 still enother norm II II; , called the Orlicz norm. 2. Conjugate modulars Let fj be a convex pseudomodular in a (re al or comPlex) vector space and let x be the space of all linear, continuous functionals (real or cOlilvlex) over the normed space <X,j( /I> with IIxl/= influ,;>O: l) 1;. Following H.Nakano (1J, we shall define a semimodular ,. on x; and in- vestigate the resulting modular space. First, we prove that 2.1. Theorem .A linear functional x1t over X is continuous with respe- ct to the norm /I II ' if and only if, there exists a constant !;;> 0 such that ,xxl ((X)+l) for every Xt X. . Supposing the above condition to be satisfied,we have for

Taking 'IXlI71 we see, as in the proof of 1.10, that (X)I/XI. Hencelx*xlo n Xl/o-(x}:;: '((X\+1) . 2.2. Definition . The conjup:ate modular fl' to is defined by the formula (() =< sup (/x'E-xl_ f;(x t) for x* X;. x 2.3. Theorem . If (j is a ,:::onvex pseudomodular over X, then q* is a convex, eft-continuoU3 semimodular over X;. . It is easily seen that f*loJ = 0 and «-x)= 1:X) , 'tx) 0 for every xllc . Moreover, taking X"',yAf: x1 and cI., 0, oc+ (6= 1, we have *()(:?"+ I""} $ sup /x.xl- ol f(xl + ,1>/ xl- f(xJ J «f!t-(x1\1 + f (y"J . . xE- . Finally, let (t'Ax!1=: 0 for every .A.> O.

Taking )..... 00', we obtain x""x '" O. Hence x::z O. The left-continuity of (jK follows from the fact that lim {CAX*)- sup sup U.lx*xj _ fLx>J= Jt-{x*).

By Theorem 1.8, the inequalities /lXII{.l and (xi 1 are equivalent. Hence II#I sup ((x\+ »)= 1 + \x'"j. Supposing . Hxll,x Ilxltlf*u, we have I' t:} 1 and so ffxJ\of 2u, which implies the right- hand side inequality. In order to prove the left-hand one, let us first remark that if x"'G x; and /lx*lI/l-l, then Jt-(x*1 = sup l/xA"X\- q(X»). e flxJ1,XE Indeed, we have sup (Ixxl- lx») sup (/lx"'ll; /lX/l (X»l (x»1 '> by Lemma 2.4. Hence *(x* ... max[ sup (lxtx1- (xl), sup ( lx lf':x1- lx)l]= sup (Ixx\- (x)l.

Applying the conjugate modular ff: we define now the Orlicz 1/ ' in by means of the formula given below: 2.6. Theorem . If l? is a convex pseudomodular in X, then /lXfl'= sup {Ixkx/: x x;, <';*{Xflc) If is a pseudonorm in x and /lxlli ,/I xfl/ for every x E- x. If is a convex semimodular, then 1/ II is a norm in x. Proof . Let x6 X. Since l:X!xl ((jtJ+ (xl for every x*E x;, we ob- tain IIxl/ 1+ 4Slx)and so O<llxlfi < 00. Moreover, it is easily seen that Illi-xll; '" lollI/xI'i for every number ot . Hence, taking >O, we have !IX"; ::: IIxi 1 + (x). Thus IIxlf -1 (1+ (x» for every ?O, and conse q uenUY,lI x l/; S /I' Xfl. Since the triangle inequality for 1 f' is obvious, we conclude that /I I is a pseudonorm in X . Now, let us suppose that II xII '= O. Then xx = 0 . II- ../'r. for every x* X; satisfying '1x""l 1. Let us take an x*f with l:x!1>1, then taking y*= xf<,/ k(x1r), we have >t y) 1, by convexity of *" . Hen- ce yx '" 0, but this implies x.x '" O. Consequently, we obtain x := O. - f(X)) sup (/Ix/If - f(x)) 0, lJQ>1
10 3. F-modular spaces As we have seen in Theorem 1.5, the F-pseudonorm I I) in case of a general pseudomodular and the s-norm II , in case of an s-convex mo- dular are given by different formulae and both theories are going para- llel, but not identical lines. There will be given now a unified theory, embracing both cases. For this purpose we define an operation on the real halfline R+ "" [6,(0), which will be denoted by means of the symbol F lu,v) or u@v for u,v fR . + 3.1. Definition . An F- operation in R will be defined as a function - - + F: R+i< R+ - R+ having the following properties for u,v €- R+: 1 0 F(u,v>", F(v,u), 2 0 F(u,F{v,w}):: F(F(u,v) ,w), 3 0 F(u,O)= F(O,u)=u, 4 0 F(u,v)is nondecreasing as a function of each of the variables, se parately, 50 F is continuous from R X R to R . + + + We shall wrii>e also u<&v = F(u,v). The operation GP may be extended to any finite number of terms by means of the forlJJ.ulae 1 @ u. == u 1 ' i==1 2 @ u i '" u 1 $I ' i=1 u. = F ( $1 i=1 i=1 u.,u ) for n/2. n 3.2. Proper:ties . Obviously, we have F[u,v) O and F(O,O)= O. The following properties of F-operations are immediate: 1. If 0u1 and 0v1v2 ' then F(u1,vl) F(u 2 ,v 2 }. II. If F are F-operations for n ::: 1,2,... and F tu,v ) F (u, v) as n n n CO uniformly in R x R , then F is an F-operation. + + ( p P ) 1/ P 3.3 .Examples . I. F1(u,v)= u+v, II. Fp(U,v}= u +v , p1, III.

F is the smallest possible F-operation, i.e. F(u,v} 00 Foo(u,v} for any F-operation F and all u,v O. Indeed, we have F (u,v) F(u,OJ= u and F(u,v)F(O,v}= v, and so F(u,v) ma.x(u,v)= Foo(U'V)' 3.5. Definition .Let h:R+R+ be a homeomorphism of R+ onto itself and let G = h*F be defined by G (u,v):: h-:- 1 F(h(U) ,h(v)) for u,v R+, where h-1 i.s the inverse function to h. If such a homeomorphism h
11 exists, we say that the F-operations G and F are equivalent and write G,.....F. 3.6. Properties .

Let k:R --R be such that klu}> 0 for u»O and + + let F be an F-operation. The function k will be called - superadditiva , if F(k(u), k(v)) k(u+v) for u,vO. It is easily seen that the function k{u)= u is F 1 -su p eradditive. Any nondecreasing function k with klul/O for u> 0 is F -superadditive. CD In particular, k(\.1.)= 1 for U?O is F -superadditive. co 3.9. Theorem . If k is F-superadditive for aome F-operation F, then k is nondecreasing for u6- O. Proof . Let us suppose that 0 u<v, but k\U) k(v}. Writing = u, v 1= v-u, we have u 1 +v 1 = v and F(k(u},k (V-U) k\.v)< k(41;. Let u' '" kt u ), v' = k(v-u), then F(u',v')(U'. But F(u',v'l F(u',O)= u', a contradic- tion. '£he following statement is easily proved: 3.10. Theorem . Let h be a homeolJ!Orpmsm of R+ on R+, k(U):> 0 for u>o.

Let (...Q,5: ,ft.) be a measure space (see Example 1.9). Let Z be the space of strongly measurable functions z: .lL-.1>F, with equality f-allIlOSt everywhere. Let X be the space of fun- ctions x: ..a..., E such that yx <:: Z for every Y E Y; we shall write x = 0, if yxltl= 0 r--alm.ost everywhere for every yeY.

This condition may be weakened, supposing the above convergence holds for some ).. '7 0 and not necessa- rilly for all A '/ O. This leads to the notion of modnlar convergence in X 5.1. Definition . Let be a pseudoillodular in X. A sequence() of elements of X is called modular convergent to x €- X l briefly, -c.9!!::. vergent to x X f ' if there exists a :7 0 such that , (:x:k-xJ) _ 0 as k-+ 00.

If is a modular, then every sequence (x k ) of eJ.anent 10 of X, has at most one modular limit. IV. -convergence in X follows from norm convergence in X. Norm conve rgence and -convergence are equivalent in X, if and only if, the following condition holds: (B) if c X ' lxkl- 0, then (2:X:k!"9 O. 5.3. Remarks . We shall see later that there exist modular spaces (Orlicz spaces), where (B) does not hold, i.e. -convergence does not imply norm convergence (see Remark 8.15(2»). So it makes sense to in- vestigate the problems connected with <f _convergence, separately.
19 T his is important in the development of the the ory of modular spaces, because if there would be only norm convergence in X" then the whole , use of a modular f; would be only a way of defining a norm (or an F- norm) in a vector space; however, -convergence being in general not reducable to a norm convergence, the modular notions lead to problems which cannot be formulated in the language of the metric vector spaces. .A..lso the notions of topological vector spaces are not applicable heJ:(j; as we shall see in 6, a !loton of 0/ -topology must be introduced in a vector space to be compatible with modular convergence. 5.4. Definition . Let €? be a pseudomodular in a real or complex vec- tor space X. A set A c:X will be called 1) - bounded , if for every sequence of elements "1c 6 A and any se- quence of numbers £k -40 there holds €kJi,.o, 2) - closed , if "1c E A and x imply x f:: A, 3) relatively - compact , if every sequence of elements E:i A con- tains a SUbsequence, -convergent to an element x E X f ' 4) - compact , if every sequence of elements E A contains a sub- sequence, -convergent to an element x fA. The smallest -closed set containing the set ACX< will be called the - closure of A and denoted by A . If A :: X , then A will be cal- led - in X. A modular space will be called - separable , if the- re exists a f -dense, countable set in X. We shall examine now the connections between the following condi- tions of a set A Co X<: (a) A is -bounded, (b) there exist positive constants M and a such that (ax) M for all x A, (c) there exists a positive constant a such that (ax) 1 for all x fA, (dl there are a posi ti ve number K and an 10, 0 < 10 1, such that s III K for all x<= A, for every sequence x k c A and any seq uenc e of numbers k -p 0 there holds (fk) ...,.0. 5.5.

Supposing (a) is satisfied but (b) does not hold, -2 there exists a sequence () of elements of A such that (j (k ) > 1 ( -1 for k '" 1,2,... Taking a> 0 in such a manner that k )_0 as k -.,. 00 and k so large that ak;> 1, we get ( -2 ) ( 1 -1 ) -1 1 < k ". ak k (k ) 0, a contradiction. The implications te) -=>(a)and lblc,7(c)are obvious.

The equi- (b ).-:a/Cd) follows from the definition of the s-pseudonorm II II;, immediately. The following theorem is immediate : 5.6. Theorem . Let f? be a pseudomodular. ta)A set Ac.X is -closed, if and only if, A::I At:. (b) If A is 9'-closed, then it is closed with respect to the pseudonorm in X . (c)There holds AC.Ac.'A(f" where A is the closure of A with respect to the pseudonorm in X. Let us remark that a set A closed with re spect to the pseudonorm does not need to be t; -closed. Indeed, let X be a modular space with a modular not satisfying 5.2. tB), then there is a sequence (I of elements of X which is <?-.convergent to an XE X, but contains no sub- seq uence convergent in the norm, for otherwise, taking .t? x € X and an arbitrary subsequence (x kn ) of ll, one could extract a norm-con- vergent sequence from (xk n I and this would imply x k - x in the norm of Xe' Now, let l) be a sequence -convergent to an x X but con- taining no norm-convergent subsequence. Taking as A the set of elements of tne sequence (Xk), we observe easily that A is closed with respect to the norm but is not -closed. Consequently, we see also that none of the inclusions AC.ACA needs to be an identity. 5.7. Theorem . If t; is a pseudomodular and if a set AC.X is -_bou,.. nded, then its -closure A is also -bounded. Proof . Let xkr=A and OkO. For every index k there exists a number k'7 0 and an element YkA such that (Ak(-Yk\)<'l/k. We
21 extract a subsequence () from (¥'k J for which 2a. < A , k = 1,2,... 1 K k Then (xk) l2 (-Yk)) + ({ (2Yk) < k + (2Yk)' SiIlLCe A is -bounded and Yk € A, one may extract from the sequence l) a sub- l . ( 1 sequence b k ) such that 2bkYk) < k for k =; 1,2,... Hence <?(bk 0 as k - 00 Since ((k) was arbitrary, we conclude that I is - bounded. 5.8. 'rheorem . If is a pseudomodular, then every relatively t<- compact set is -bounded. Proof . Let "1c Ii: A, Ok} 0, and let us write '" (I;k). Let (k n ) be any increasing sequence of indices. :£here exist a;:>O, x Xf! and a sub- sequence (kn i ) of (knJ such that (a{. - xIJ -0 as i _ 00.

We shall consider now the problems of boundedness and of continuity of a linear map T of a modular space X in a modular space Y('1'" i.e. T: X-YO-, where and fJ are pseudomodulars in vector spaces X and J; respectively. 5.9.Definition.

22 and continuous with respect to the F-pseudonorms I /1 ' I '(1"' . The con- verse does not hold in general even if we take l( and v to be convex modulars, as may be checked on examples of Orlicz spaces. It is also easily proved that if <ff is an a-convex, left-continuous pseudomodu.- lar, then (e 1 J implies (eel (see 1.8). Also, taking as Y the space of real numbers with G"ty)"" I yl and as X a suitable Orlicz space not sa- tisfying 5.2. tB), we see that leJ does not imply in general (e 1 ) . Concerning (eo)' there holds the following 5.10. Theorem . If and () are s-convex pseudomodulars, then a li- near operator T: X is (,a?-bounded, if and only if, it satisfies (e ). o Proof . Let AC be .;-bounded and let (eo) hold. Let us take €A, £k O, 0 <. Ek< 1, then applying 5.5, we obtain c?(J6k)-O. Hence ,U;< 1 for sufficiently large k, and so O"'(a f,x) &2 6'"ar (ffk») E2M Ilffk/I; E2. M -?O as k....oo. Consequently, E 0, and so T is (,(J)-bounded. Since the set A "" {x/6/ x ,,; )1/10: xe X! is -bounded, so T(A} is v-bounded. By 5.5, the- re are a,M> 0 such that O'(arx) $ M for all x E A. Thus v(arx) .$ IIX"s O ( ar ( 10\/10 .))

At the end of this Section, we shall present an approximation re- sult concerning filtered families of linear operators in modular spa- ces.

Let T ::a(T v )ve\7- be a family of linear operators T: X""""X in a. modular space X and let (){J be a f:j.lter of subsets of V.

A sequence [Un) of sets in X is called a se q uential modular base in X, if U are absorbing and balanced - n and r(U 1 )CU forn 1,2,... n+ n It is easiJ.,y seen that a sequential modular base in X is a modular base in X. If (> is a pseudomodular in X such that X= X, then the pro- perties 6.5 show that B (f) is a base is X, 13 10 () is a 1iJequential base in X and bases .B(f), s(f) are equivalent. Hence it follows that spa- ces with a modular base form a generalization of modular spaces. Since the equivalence of bases is an equi¥alence relation, it is reasonable to be interested not only with spaces X with an individual modular base J!J , but with pairs (X,Lf.I)), where [j?I] is the class of all modular
28 bases in X equivalent to the base . 6.7. Definition . If [J:,J is an equivalence class of modular bases in a vector space X, then the pair (X, [P..) is called a generalized modular sPace . 6.B. Theorem . If J3 is a modular base in X, then bal.0 is also a ba.- se in X and bal.P> is equivalent to 53 . . Let be a modular base in X. Obviously, the sets bal U with U SO are absorbing in X.

Let us take any U6-.13 then there exists a VG-R> such that U z U (I U ::> rCVbbal V, and so .134 bal . Hence S and balJ3 are equivalent. 6.9. Defirtion . Let() be a sequence of elements of X and let 10 be a modular base :i.n X. The sequence () is called J3 - convergent to an element :x:X, if there exists Iii number ..\;;-0 such that for every U"J:1 there is an index K such that >. -x) G U for all k.> K. The J?> -conver- gence of () to x will be denoted ..1; x. Evidently, if is a pseudomodular in a vector space X, then the. conditions x and x are equivalent. 6.10. Theorem .Let J3 1 and .E 2 be equivalent bases in X, E X,XE: X. , There holds XX: x, if and only if, XX: x. . We may suppose without loss of generality that x = O. Let x k :!'-i' 0 and let U &-S1 be arbitrary. Then there is a number a I: 0 and a set V"'2 such that aVcU, because £ 1-1.B 2 . Then we may take a number i\ ;;- 0 and an index K for which A V for k> K, with:A in- dependent of U. Hence Aaxk U for k7K, and so O. The converse implication is obtained changing the roles of.13 1 and ..8 2 ' From the above theorem it follows that the notion of 13 -conver- gence in X defines also a convergence in (X,[J'») uniquely, where x k x means that x for a .B 1 E [J:3] . In particular, applying both 6.8 and 6.10, we may always define J3 -convergence in X supposing the t 10 from J'> to be balanced. We shall see now that in case of cou- ntable modular bases one may limit itself always to sequential modu- lar bases.

Let (X,T) be a topological vector space with topology T. Then there exists a family J3 T of absorbing subsets of. X such that for arbitrary U1'U 2 f:.P.J T there exists a U 3 E' J3 T such that Ll(U 3 )CU 1 I\U 2 ' where (U) denotes the set of all elements of X of the form o<.x+(5 y with lotl 1, It?J1 and x,y U. The family J3 T which we shall call a topological in X, is a fundamental system of neighbourhoods of ze- ro in X, Le. every neighbourhood of zero in X contains a set from ..t3 T and every set from J3 T contains a neighbourhood of zero in X. Moreover, the above conditions on J1 T define the topology T, uniquely. Clearly, r(U) c 6.{U) for every UC:X, and so a topological base in X is also a mo- dular base in X. The converse does not hold generally, Le. a modular base does not necessarily define a linear topology in X. Namely, we ha.- ve the following 6.14. Theorem. A modular base JJ in X is a topological base in X, if and only if, there holds the condition (D 2 ) from 6.2. " Let jj be a topological base in X. Then for every U c 13 the- re: exists a V E such that (V) c: U 1'\ U '" U. But 2Vc: (V) for every VeX. Hence 2VcU, Le. we have (2)' Conversely, let us suppose that a modular base fb in X satisfies (2) . Let U 1 ' U 2 G 13 be arbitrary then, by (42), there exist V 1 ,V 2 E-£' such that 2V 1 CU 1 and 2V 2 <::.U 2 " Hence 2 tv 1'\ V ) cUI') U .

32 every Vex. Hence .L\(V 3 )C 2r(V 3 )G 2(V 1 AV 2 )GU 1 1" U 2 . Consequently, J3 is a topological base in X. 6 0 15. Theorem . If two modular bases $1 and .15 2 in X are equivaJ.ent and .13 1 is a topolOgical base, then .13 2 is also a topological base. Proof' . By the assumptions, there are numbers a 1 ,a 2 /o 0 such that for arbitrary two sets U 1 E J3 1 and V2 .$02 there exist sets V 1 E' J3 1 and U 2 € J3 2 for which 8 1 U 2 C U 1 and V 1 c V 2' Since ..e 1 is a topological base, it satisfies (.L\2). We shall conclude first that for every a /0 0 and every U J?J 1 there exists VE-J3 1 such that aVcU. Indeed, let n be so large that Jal2nthen, takingW 1 '" U, there are setsW 2 ,W 3 ,..., Wn+ 1 c<J3 1 such that 2Wk+1C::Wk for k = 1,2,...,n.

Moreover, making use ctf theorens 602 and 6014, it is evident that 6 0 160 Theorem o Let be a pseudomodular in X such that X f = X.

If 'f(t, u) '" If(U) is independent of the variable 'i, we say that Ltf and Ld are the Orlicz sPace and the Orlicz class , respec- tively lsee Example 1.9.1).

This property, very useful in the theory of Orlicz spaces, does not hold in general for ge- neralized Oricz spaces. 7.4 .Elementarv properties . la) Llf is the set of all x € X such that (). x) < 00 for some >t.> O.

A function If€ will be called locallY' interabe , if SIf(t,u)dr< 00 for every u,>O and At-I; with ft(AI<OO' t . 7.6. Theorem . Let S be the set of all simple, integrable func ons on.l1. and let tfE: <f be locally integrable. Then Sc.EIf. Moreover, sup- posing t'- to be 6"'-finite, Elfi is the closure of S with respect to the F-norm. I I and S is -dense in L If . Proof . The inclusion SCEIf follows from local integrability of'f ' immediately. Elf is closed in L, since if xnG Elf and Ix-I-? 0, the'n

If we drop the assumption xlt)?O in...Q., we may split x into positive and n\3gative part which belong again to E'P, and apply the above result. Thus, S is dense in E(f with respect to the norm. The fact that S is - dense in Llf (see Definition 5.4) is proved using analogous arguments. Let US remark that if \f(t, u)m \fLu) is independent of t, then If is always locally integrable. Moreover, ()-finitenes of fA- in Theorem 7.6 is then not needed, since from the inequalities 0 sx (t)x(t) and x€ L'f n fOllows directly that x are integrable. n 7.7. Theorem . Let fA- be (j-fini te. Then the generalized Orlicz space Lf is complete with respect to the F-norm I I . . 1) First, let us suppose (J2}<oo. Then the measure f"- is absolutely continuous with re.spe ct to the me asure v( AI"", S. <P(t ,E J d ' A A f- , for every E"7 O. Hence for every E;> 0 there erists a 6'> 0 such that if AE-2: and \f(t,f) dfA-< 0' , then (A)<f . Now, let (xd be a Cauchy sequence in rlf and let ;\;:> 0 be arbitrary. There exists an index N such that (>.(xn-Xm»<d for m,n>N. ThuS, writing Am,n -ft€-J2.: }.Ixmlt)- xnlti/t], we have SA 'f (t,€)dfl<: $ , and consequently, u(Akf. for m,n)N.

Conseqtlently, )Xn__O;(X)..$l Let us still remark that taking ..p(l;, u) "" (u) independent of t, we do not need to have tA tr-finite in order to get completeness of Llf . This follows from the fact that then the first part of proof of Theo- rem 7.7 may be repeated without the assumption of finiteness of rt- . Thus we have 7.S. Theorem . The Orlicz space Llf is complete with respect to the F-norm I fe . 7.9. Remark . Arguing as in the proof of Theorem 7.7 one may prove easily that if /-t(..Q.)<00 and (",xn)"""O for some .x» 0, then the sequen- ce (X n ) is convergent in measure fA- to zero. Now we shall inveatigate the problem of separability of Elf and L4f . at US recall that a measure I"'" is called separable , if there exists a sequence LAn) of sets Anf: 2: having the following properties 1) f'1lAJ < 00 for n == 1,2,..., 2) for every set Af. with !4(A) < ooand for e'fery ;> 0 there exists an index n such that /«A':' A ) < f ; . n here, A .:. B means the symmetric difference of the sets A and B. We ha- ve the following 7.10. Theorem . Let Iff: <P be locally integrable and let r- be o-fini- te and separable. Then the space Elf is separable with respect to the F-norm I I and the generalized Orlicz space Llf is -separable (see 5.4). . Let us take a sequence (An) of sets from the definition of separability of the measure fA- . Let So be the set of all simple func-

Applying Theorem 5015, we shall now prove some approximation theo- rems in spaces L'f...

Let us remark that if If is s-convex with respect to u, 0 < s 1, then we may take in the above definition k 1 = 1. A trivial example of a 't'-oounded function is obtained taking <f independent of the parame- ter t.

Now, o 0 let x be the characteristic function of a measurable set AC[O,b), then for every v E R, (a ('t'vx-x))= JAy 'f(t, a)dt , where Av = (A-v)..!. A. Since o \f(t,a)dt < 00 for all a> 0 and it is easily seen that mlAv l - 0 as o V '70, so [a(t'"vx-x))O as v -.,. O. From 7.12 it follows easily, applying 7.6 : 7.13o Theorem .

When considering inclusions L6 C:L6 of generalized Orlicz cla- sses and L\fCL of generalized Orlicz spaces, the following conditions are of importance : (1) ,¥It,u)x\f(t,u}+ hlt\for all uO and tk-almost every tfJ2 , where h is a nonnegative, integrable function in..cl and K is a positive constant ; (2) Ht,u) K1\flt,:rs.u)+ h(jo) for all u,?O and -almost every te-.Jl, where h is a nonnegative, integrable function in.J2 and K1,K2 are posi- tive constants. The condition(z) will be also dnoted writing \¥.::ttf ('f nonweaker "t'). First, let us remark that in case of functions <y, "t'€ independent of the variable t, both conditions can be given an equivalent form not containing the function h. Namely, we have the following

Remarks .(1) Let us note that supposing the measure f'A- to be separable, from the above theorem and from 7.10 and 7.6 follows that in both cases (a) and lb \ , the condition lLl 2 ' (resp.

We shall turn back to the conditions (1.1 2 ) and (Q2' tater, when considering uniform convexity and strict convexity of spaces L If and linear continuous functionals over spaces 1\f 1 resp. 1" (see 11 and 12).

Since there are functions I..p independent of 11 such that L% 1= LC, (see 7.3) so, by 8.14la), for such a I.f (tJ 2 ) does not hold and modular convergence is not equivalent to norm convergence in LW. (3) It is easily observed that the condition ()implies, without any assumption concerning fA- '} the modular (x) "" &. q;(t, Ix It}Qd/1-t.. with 'fE f to be continuous (see 1.7), because from L "" L follows that 1im o .\..,.1+ O< x)= qlx) for all xfL\f> Hence, assuming <f to be convex and to satis- fy (A 2 \ , we have then /lX/== 1 ill[ and only if lXI = 1. It is, moreover, easily observed that the equivalence of II xII"" 1 and Lx) "" 1 for all x Llf , is then equivalent to the conditionLIf = Llf. Let us still re- o mark that assuming (.6 2 1 resp.

As is well-known, spaces L P with 1..( p < 00 are 81110ng eX81 ll ples of uniformly convex spaces; every uniformly convex Banach space is ref- lexive. We are going to determine sufficient conditions for uniform convexi ty of generalized Orlicz spaces Llf. First, we shall observe the well-known fact that

In the converse case there would exist a number q) 0 and a sequence of functions Z E-L lf such n that f4(zn) <. 1 - q and a:2lJt1. Writing an =IIZn(l, we have kanZd= 1 ; moreover, 1 (Bz1< 2 for sufficiently large n. By Remark 8.15(3), we conclude tha.t (anxnl = 1.

Remarks . 0) A disjointly additive pseudomodular on X with a majorant property is a pseudomodular in the sense of the Definition 1.1. Indeed, condition 2. implies L-x)=c.x). hloreover, taking o(., 0, d-.+(':>= 1, x,YEX, and applying the inequalities 100UJ-f.>vlio(lul+()ivl maxQu/, I vi) we obtain, by 2. and 4., (oI.x+ f>Y) (max{lx/, /yQ)= (lxl\ A + IYIXB) (lxl}r (ly/) = qlx}+(y), where A ={tG...il: Iy tt)l IxLt", B =Sl..'A.

First, we shall prove a lemma. 12.3. Lemma . Let X be a linear sublattice of S having the majoran'i property and. let S(x}={te-.n.: xlt),4 01 for xGX.

Moreover, for any x€'X we have fA-CSLX)'Sx1= O. Indeed, supposing that there exists a OXoi"X such that fleS (x o ) , SxJ = mo:7 0, taking n so large that f-t(S (wJ);;:.m - mo and writing z :. max lw ,x \ , we would have n oon (j S (X o )' Sx == S(xJ "£S(wn)cS(Xo)'S(w n ), S(zJ = S lwrl uS (xJ::> S LWnivl S (;x:J"' SX) , whence f-'1.

Moreover, (l.f\t,u}tCf(t,u) for all uo, te...Q , and if lp is convex wi th respect to u, then ({t, ul)""= I('lt, u) . Proof . It is obvious that *\.t,v) is measurable with respect to t, nondecreasing with respect to v and that *(t,O)= O. Let us suppose that <p'tt,v)= 0, then v q.'(,u ) for ftvery u:;>O and from(o\we obtain v :a O. Now, let us remark that the supremum in the definition of rflt,v) is attained for auch u that ) v.

Convexity of '{'II: and the relations lo) and (00) for Win place of if are obtained easily from the definition oftp. The inequality for (flt,u)t" is obtained, since (t(Ct,u)f= sup (uv - l.\It,v})(t,U), because uv lt,u)+ k Lt,v) v20 1<" for all u,v o. The fact that (<jI*fu,u)/= ft,u)if If is convex with res- pect to u is evident. 13.9 .Definition . If t.pE <P satisfies (0) and (oo)of 13.1. then the function if(t,u)= (((1\t,u))*" is called associated 1!ti.h If . Obviously, If is always convex with respect to the variable u and lt,u) <r(t,u) everywhere. 13.10. Theorem . Letf be a ()-finite, atomless measure, and 1.'1 \{7fP be locally integrable and satisfy the conditions to) and (00) of 13.1, and let \f'" \p (see Definition 8.16).

Applying B.18(a) to 't' = W' 10 = 1, we obtain existence of a homogeneous norm in Lit eq uivalent to I I . We shall introduce now the Orlicz norm II "IO generated by the mo- dular (xJ= f(t, Ix ltll)djlA-in the Orlicz space LIf', where LffN.

Non trivial examples of functions from the above classes will be shown at the and of this Section (14.18 - 14021). 14.14. Definition . Let P be an operator defined on a nonempty i- near subspace L of the space M(S2,!",) with values in M (..Q. , ,\') (see I 0 0 lij.1).

The following Hadamard's three line theorem for subharmonic func- tions will be need in the following : 14.15. Theorem . Let f be a nonnegative, bounded function on the strip 15 =={z : 0 Re z 1 I of the complex plane such that log f(z} is subhar- monic in the open strip D ={z : O<Re z < 11 and continuous in 15.

Clearly, the inequality in l5) is satisfied. Now, let r-l g(X) =:: (l-xJ(1- ;) for 0 x 1. Evidently, gll)= o< g(1_2- 1 / r ).

Now, applying inequalities (4) we observe that the assumptions of 17.5 t ' f ' d . th 1 1 - 1 2 - r ' 1 are sa lS le WJ. "1.= '4 ' \1 == 2r, m = -; . Consequently, the fa.m:t Y of measures W'n):o defined by the ,natrix 17.6 (0) is equispl'ittable. 17.7. Remark . Not all families of measures are equisplittable. For example, defining hA. ) co by means of the matrix (a ,) with a . :z 1 for 'f'"n !'J;::: 1 nl Ill. n::: i, ani::: 0 for n f. i, it is easily seen that fn(A)= 1 if nEA, iA LA)= 0 if n 4 A, and the family itA ) 00 is not equispli ttable because In 'I"'n Th=1 sup u LA)::: 1 for every nonempty set A. Similarly, considering the case n ""n = (to' 00), '2:= the familr of Lebesgue measurable subsets of, 'l= tro'oo), 'C'= &r-;::: the Dirac measure concentrated at the point "(' we observe easily that lfl't')'t?,... is not eq uispli ttable.

Various families of modulars depending on a parameter The notion of countably modulared spaces may be extende.,d replacing the sequence (/{n) of pseudomodulars by a family of pseudomodulars (}.) depending on a parameter f which takes values in an abstract set 8o. 18.1.

However, this converse impl"i- cation may be proved un.der some additional assumption on the measure m. Namely, there holds 18.8. Theorem . Let us suppose that the measure m is absolu.tely con- tinuous with respect to the measure n(A);:: 1 p(fJdm, i.e. for every f.,.. 0 there exists a r>O such that if AEI: and n(A)<, then m(A) < t.

Supposing xeX we have (f,;>"x)O as ;'\ O m-a.e. in B , by 18.6. Since n is absolu.tely aontinuous with respect to m, this implies ({,.Axl-O as .\-..0 n-a.e. in E . But n(2 J < 00, and so we may concl u.de that (f, ), x) _0 as ,\ _ 0 in m6asure ninE. Since m is absolutely continuous with respect to n, this imp- plies (j, >- x) O as >.,..0 in measure m in E . 18.9. Example .

We shall investigate the modular <;>s(x)= 1 (t ,x)d JA- in the vector space X ; the respective F-pseudonorm in XS is Ixls =- inf{u> 0 : s()u} (see 1.5).

If, additionally, k(t,s,U) is a convex function of uER+ for every (t, s) f..Q..xJl , then (t, .) are convex for r-a. e. te..52 and consequently, s is convex. Let us remark that if t.f:..fLXR+R+tlff.

c O;,il'iJE NT S 1. The theory of modular spaces was founded by Hidegoro Nakano, who developed an extensive theory of such spaces in his two fundamental mo- nographies H. Nakano [Jj, [2] in 1950 and 1951 (see also H. Nakano[3]). The first attempt was made in H. Nal\:ano [11, where a modular is defined in a universally continuous semi - ordered linear space X, i.e. a vector lattice X such tlat for every system(x,d;\E-/\ of positive elements there exists the "infimum" 1\ x . Namely, a modular 10: X-(O,co]is sup- AE-/\ '" 'I posed to satisfy the following conditions: a) for every X€ X, x f 0, there exist a, b > 0 such that <f'(ax»)O and tbx) < 00 , b) for all XEX, d...,;;.0, there hOlds( d...;8 x)(<plO(:XJ+((3x»), c) if /xlfSlyl, then (X\ (yl , d) if x y, then <>(x+y) =: (X' + (y) , e) if 0 x). t x, )0.,/\ , then (xJ::; sup (x)o,). ).E-!\ The space X with such a modular was called 1959 by S. Yamamuro [1}, a Nakano space .. H. Nal\:ano (11 developed a spectral theory and found inte- gral representation for projectors acting on X ; a short description of these ideas may be found in S. Yamamuro L11 (see also S. Koshi and T. Shi- ..JlOgal\:i (11). As regards concave modulars, see H. Nakano [4]. The theory of Nakano spaces was further developed extensively by Japanese mathemati- cians from the Hokkaido Dni versi ty i,n Sapporo, most ly belonging to the school of Nakano, as I. Amemiya, T. Ando, J. Ishii, T. I to, S. Koshi, T. Shimogaki, S. Yamamuro and others. Some further results concerning modulars in semi-ordered spaces of functions are presented in 12. In his second bookH. Na..l{ano[21( 78. p.204) introduced the notion of a modular in a real vector space X as a functional : X-[O,coJsa- tisfying tllli following conditions 1) lO)::; 0 , 2) l-x)::; (x), 3) for every x E: X .the re is a A '> 0 such that (>. x) < 00 , 4) if ().x)=: 0 for every ;;.0, then x ::; 0, 5) lo!..x +Y) d.(X)+y)for every x,yE:X, f1..,g, 1-0'd..+::; 1,

" 0A<1 et us remark that such a is according to our terminology, a left- Jontinuous semimodular (see Definitions 1.1 and 1.7), where means that X = X . :I:he term "semimodular" is due to R. Lesniewicz [61, 2.1, p. 245, and the definitions of right-continuity, left-continuity and continuity (see Definition 1.7) together with Theorem 1.8 with s = 1 are given in J. Musielak[91, Prop.l.l, p.235-236. Let US still remark that H. Nakano uses the term " normal modular " for what we call a left- continuous modular (see e.g. H. Nakano[5J). H. Nakano (2] ( 81, p. 213} defined also the norm II I/ from Theorem 1.5 in the convex case s = 1. The first attempt to a theory of general modulars without any reference to convexity was made in case of Orlicz spaces of fuactions L\f!(O,l) and of sequences 11/1 by S. Mazur and W.Orlicz[l) (pp. 105 and 116), who defined in these spaces the F-norml from Theorem 1.5. Defini tion 1.1 of a pseudomodular and of a modular in a general, not necessari.ly convex case and in an arbitrary vector space X was given by J. I1iusielak and W. Orlicz[3], 1.01, where also the F-norml o was generally introduced(1.21). The main idea lies here in the axiom 3 loLx +('Iy) ::::lx)+(Y1 for x,yfX, rA.,f1,?-0, C1o-+(!>= 1 from Definition 1.1, which is the proper tool for defining the F-norm i I . Theorem 1.10 concerning the s-pseudonorm n ft<s t the so-called Amemiya norm, is given in case s = 1 in the book of H. Nakano 1 (see 81, p.2H). A similar theorem is true also in the non-convex case, with the same , , , 0, 1 + (4x) , deflnl bon of the Amemiya F-norm : I x I = In; 0 J ' belng a modular; namely, S. Koshi and T. ShimOgaki[21( 4, pp. 215,216) pro- o ved also in this case the inequali ties IXIiX I 2 1 xl e . As regards the general notions of a modular and amodular space as presented here, they are presented also in the book of S. Rolewicz [2] in the convex case and, in the books of J. Iviusielak [13) , (14] in the ge- neral case. Further development was done 1968 again by H. Nakanot?l, (6], who introduced a unified theory of modulars in vector spaces, embracing both convex and non-convex case. Namely, H. Nakano[5) defines a mod lar on a real vector space X as a functional : X [O,coJsuch that 1] l-X) = lx), 2) (ax) (bx) for 0 ab , )] /?o..x).... 0 as '). 0+,
166 4] lx+y) ((('txJ+ (ry») for x,y ex with a p.O independent of x and y . The number r calls Nakano the character of the modular f4 ; obviously, a convex modular is of character 2. Let us note that the condition 3] states simply that X== X . Now, an element x X calls Nakano the null element o:f X, i:f (Ax)= ° for all ). >0. If x == 0 is the only null eleuent of X, Nakano calls a pure modular ; in our terminology, this is exactly a semim.odular. There is developed by H. Nakano l51, (6Ja gene- ral theory of such modulars including norms and conjugate modulars - a notion we shall discuss in 2. I t should be noted here that some other attempts to get a unified theory of modulars or modular spaces, namely a theory of F-modular spa- ces and of modular bases, will be presented in 4 and 6. Rece#!-y, a theory of modular spaces oven non-archimedean fields was developed by R. Urbanski [1] Here, we shall notice still another approach towards a general the- ory which was done 1978 by Ph. Turpin[5] . He introduced the notion of a modular scale, generalizing that of a modular. 1Iodular scales are defi- ned generally in preordered semigroups , that is in additive seilllgroups X with neutral element ° and with partial order which does not need to be compatible with the algebraic structure of X. For example, a real or complex vaator space becomes a preordered semigroup with partial pre- order xy defihed by x == ay for some scalar a withlall. Now, the fol- lowing definition is given: Definition . (Ph. Turpin[5], p.332). red semigroup X is a family == (a) a>O indexed on (0,00), such tat A decreasing scale on a preorde- of functionals qa : X_[O,oo) , [al atO)"" 0, (b] b(x) a(X)for xfX, O<a'b, lc] if x,y E X and x y, then a lX} a lY) for every a >0. A decreasing scale =CRa)a)O 0.Cl X is called a modular , if lb']a+b (x+y) aC.xl+ ('t(y)for x,yX and a,b>O. Of course, conditions [a1 and lb'J imply (b] . In case of a sernigroup X of functions x : .f:l. lo,oo1, a modular scale = a) a'jJ on X is called a -)!lodular , if

Turpin [?] calls a functio- nal r : X lO,(;IC)]a sub additive modular functional on X, if the family f! = (J a)O of functionals defined by a = r for every a';> 0 is a modular scale on'X. Now, if = (fa) a)O X, then tJ) 0 defined a a) is a decreasing scale on a pre ordered semigroup by (x):::: infta')o: a(X)bf, where we put inf rJ :::: 00 , is again a decreasing sce on X ; if, More- over, C'?a)a)o is a modular scale (resp. o--modular scale) then(J 'b>O is again a modular scale (resp. <t-modular scale) and J is a sub additive Crespo (f-subadditive) modular functional on X (Ph. T urpin [5] , Prop. 1.2.2, p. 334). Adjoining with every modular scale ::::(fa)a>O the de- creasing scale :::: (a) a.>O defined by a(X):::: a- l a(x), the functional I I defined by ,xl = JfLX)for xEX is a subadditive modular functional on X called the associated subadditive modular functional on X. Now, let X be a vector space with a modular scale ' then the associated subaddi tive modular functional I I defines a group topology rf on X, where sets fx X : a (.xl br, a, b >' 0 , constitute a basis of neighbour- hoods of 0 in X. Let X :::: {x GX: I>-x IO as A 0+ f,. Definition {Ph. Turpin [5] , Def.2.1, p. 341). A generalized modular vector space is a vector space with a modular scale = (al a)O such that X= X , with the associated liilear topology r Ph. Turpin[5] develops a theory of such spaces with special empha- size to generalized Orlicz spaces (see 7). Among other attempts in the theory of modular spaces let us still mention here that of ee Peng-Yee D], 1978 , who defines sectionally modulared spaces as some modular spaces of sequences with a OJ nvex mo- dular such that the "modularizing" procedure is applied to a certain "sectional mapping" of the sequence x, involving blocks of components of x.
168 As regards Examples 1.9, cOIDlllents to I - IV will be given in 7 and to V - in 10. 2. The notion of a conjugate ndular is due to H. Nakano who introdu- ced it 1950 in case of a convex modular in a semi-ordered vector spa- ce (H. Nakano[l], 38, p. 138) and 1951 in case of a convex modular in a vector space (H. Nakano[2J, 80, p. 209). Nakano calls the con- jugate modular jt - the associated modular .Theorem 2.1 is version of a result of H. Nakano. Theorem 2.5 is to be found in H. Hudzik, J. lilu- sieJk:ak and ii. Urbanski [5]. The norm II II (see Theorem 2.6) is called by H. Nakano the first , while /IIXfIJ= sup{fxfrXI: x","X;,llxltt It- the second norm (see H. Nakano [1], 40, pp. 179 and 181). As regards the general form of the conj ugate modular It' and the norm /I I' in a gene- ralized Orlicz space, see 1heorem 13.19 and Corollary 13.20. A survrey and further re sul ts concerning conj ugate modulars may be found in H. Nakano [5] ; it was also the subject of investigations of many authors mostly from the Nakano school in Sapporo (see also S. Yamamuro(l1 Some results concerning this problem in connection with modular conver- gence will be presented in 5. 3. The not'ion of anQ',s)- modular space was introduced 1974 by J. hIu- sielak and J. .Peetre»1in case s = 1. In J. blusielakll0)tms notion is generalized to the case of an(F,lfJ- modular space, where tp ;Ls a strict- ly increasing, continuous function of ufO such that 1.f(0) 0, (ul-;Q)as U -')00 and (uvl ')/ (u) tf'Lvl for u, v O. T he only diffe l'enCe from Defini- tion 3.11 is in replacing the eq uali ty (A,s + (';, 10 = 1 in condition 3 0 by 10 )+ IfL) 1. The F-norm I 1 k becomes now /)( I,k =' inf{u > 0 : () k (<f(u»)f. Results presented here until 3.13 are essentially taken from J. Ivlusie- lak and J. Peetre ll). As regards Theorems 3.14 - 3.16, they may be found in case 10 = 1 in T. ill. J dryka and J. Musielak [2]. 4. All the results of 4 are due to T.lVl. Jdryka and J. I\lusielak(J],
169 1971. Some further development may be found in J. 1,lusielak[9]. 5. The notion of modular convergence in the sense, of Definition 5.1 was introduce.a first 1959 byJ. Ivlusielak andW. orliczL31(1.04, p. 50), where also the condition B and SOlile elementary properties are presen- ted. It should be noted here that the term "modular convergence" was used already by H. Nakano [110 47, p. 205), where it meant exactly what we call noI'lil convergence, i.e. convergence (A ex -x»_O as k-",oo for . k every ).. '> O. Let us still remark that 1967 H. H. Herda (1) conside- red nonsyetric modulars, i.e. modulars without condition t-x): (x)) which lead to two kinds oj modular co,lvergence xkx if (>'(JSc-xJ)....o and xkx if (Atx-X1l)...,O(for some ).. '?' OJ. As regards examples of modular convergence, one should mention he- re also the - convergence defined by A. Alexiewicz [11 as follows : let 11', and n II' be two norms in a vector space X (/I II 'may be also an F-norm), then a sequence (xni of elements of X is called (- convergent to an ele- ment xeX, if /lxn-xl/'...,o as n....,oo and (IIXn/l) is a bounded sequence. Now, assuming ""xiI to be a monotone function of ;.. 0 for every x,,"X, R. Lesniewicz observed that -convergence in X is equivalent to modular convergence in X with a modular defined by x ) II xII' if!lxll1t 1 <.:) 1. 00 if !lx/l::;;. 1 . It should be still remarked, that applying Definition 5.4.1) of boundedness to a sequence of ele.uents (x1J of X one can say that l is - bounded , if k..!.O for every sequ.ence of numbers Ek O. Thus, if two modulars and e,r are defined in a vector space X, a modular l- coflvergence of a seQuence (X k ) to an ele/"ent x may be defined by the requirement that lX k ' be -bounded and x. The triple(X, ,() may be termed a two - modular space . Such two-modular spaces are introduced by J. h'iusielak and A. Waszalc1.12]. The notion of -boundedness of a se'l uence of elemel1 ts of the modu- lar space X and the equivalency of conditions 5.4(aland(blin case of sequences in place of sets is given in J. l,iusielak and A. Waszak [12]. All the results of 5.4 _ 5.12 with s = 1 are obtained by H. Huddk ,
170 J. Iilusielak and R. Urbanski[5]. The contents of 5.13 - 5.17 are due to J. IJusielak (18) and were further generalized to the case of two-modular convergence in J. Mu- sielak (?O] and to non-linear operators Tv in J. liiusielak [19]. Categories of modular spaces are investigated re cently by T. Ku- biak [1]. 6. The concept of a modular base and all the results presented in 6 are due to R. Lesniewicz [5:), [6], 1975 (see also R. Lesniewicz and VI. Orlicz [1]. 7. First results concerning Orlicz spaces in case of a convex func- tion f independent of the parai!!eter t were obtained in early 1930 th by W. Orlicz (11, [21 and by Z. Birnba1.llil and W. Orlicz [2], in connection with problel1lS concerning orthogoL1al expansions. The problems of these spaces were later developed in 1950 th by three schools: that of H. NMano in Sapporo, Japan, of 1,1. A. KrasnoselslQr and Ya. B. Rutickit' in Voronez, S.S.S.R., and of A. C. Zaanen and VI.A.I. Luxemburg in Leyden, The Netherlands. As regards the Sapporo school, its direction was to develop a general theo:cy of I,lodular spaces. Tlri.s direc.tion, pre- sented 1950 by H. Nakano (1) in his book !lliodulared seuri.-ordered linear spaces", was scatched in our COlfll!!ents to 1. The Voronez school deve- loped mostly applications to integral equations ; he influence of this group on the future development of the theory of Orlicz spaces owned also a lot to the fact of the first monographic exposition of this tlleory by Ill. A. Krasnoselsktt and Ya. B. Ruticki [111958 in the book "Convex lUl1ctions and Orlicz spaces". As regards references from the period before 1958, the reader is sucgested to consult this monography. The results of the Leyden school went in a more geL1eral direction of Banach function spaces. A theory of such spaces was developed 1955 by Vi. A. I. Luxemburg (lJ in lri.s Doctor Thesis "Banach Function Spaces" and followed by a series of papers of W. A. I. Luxemburg and A. C. Zaanen [11-[15] and of W. A. I. Lu.'(emburgl21-[41in the decade 1956 - 1966.
171 As regards a systematic treatment of Orlicz spaces, it was done 1960 by A. C. Zaanen[l} in his book "Linear Analysis". A further develop- ment in the direction of Banach function spaces was done 1974 by p. P. Zabreiko[l]. Much later, 1977 and 1979, Orlicz space's of sequences and of functions were presented from the point, of view of bases, isomorphi- sms and Boyd indices in the books of J. Lindenstrauss and L. Tzafriri [11, (2), "Classical Banach Spaces I,ll". The case of a function independent of the parameter t but not necessarily convex, together with the F-norm I I in this case, was con- sidered 1958 by S. Mazur and Vi. Orlicz (:1] in both cases : spaces L'1 of Lebesgue integrable fu.o.ctions in [0, lJ and spaces 1<1 of sequences. A ge- neral theory in case of L was developed 1960 - 1961 by W. Matuszewska and Vi. Orlicz (2) and by Vi. 11latuszewska [11 , (2]; an exposition may be found in W. Orlicz 13]. In direct connection with the paper of S. l{lazur and W. Orlicz [1] stand the results of So Rolewicz [11, concerning mostly vvith local boundedness, existence of an s-homogeneous norm and existen- ce of nontrivial linear continuous functionals in these spaces. S. Ro- lewicz uses for Orlicz spaces the notation (LI or tpll) in place of Llf or l. The same notation is used later. in early 1970 th , by P.L. Uli- anov [11- [6], where the author investigates the Orlicz class L of Le- besguef-inte;:;rable functions in (0, 1J, denoted by him / 0 Supposing : RR+ to be even, nonnegative, finite, nondecreasing in(O'c9and such th-lt (u)"""oo as t.....co, P.L.

Birnbaum and W. Orlicz l1]. Introducing a pseu- dometric d(x,y)=jfOX(tl- yttJ/}dt in CftL), P.L. Ulianov considers the problems of density in CP(;L' of some subclasses of 'f(;L) and the problem of basic property of the Faber-Schauder system inqg,} . He investigates also various topologies and the problem of existence of a countable base of neighbourhoods of zero in(L) 0 It should be also noted that P. L. Ul- ianov [51 introduces a class (;LJ which he calls conj ugate to i.p(;L), de- fined as the collection of all measurable functions y such that l\(>(lx(t)+ Yl:t)l)dt < 00 for every XE- c..LJ. As regards further biblio- o
172 graphy in this direction, it may be found in the above quoted papers of P.L. Ulianov (see also D. Stachowiak - U-nilka (1) -(31 in case of. an abs- tract measure space, and S. Gnilka and D. StachoV{ak - Gnilka(l) as re- gards an abstract formulation of the conj ugate class lp lL)). Let us still remark some results connected with appro:x:iJmation theoT![ in Orlicz spa- ces, as a Bernstein-type inequality for fractional derivatives in Or- licz spac& L-oo,oo) or Orlicz space L of 21f-periodic functions with an s-convex function 'f ' or :Bernstein and Privalov-type inequalities for trigonometric polynomials in Orlicz spaces, obtained by H. Musie- lak (1) (Theorem 3, p. 49 - Bernstein inequality for fractional deri- vatives ), [21 (for someotre r results concerning estimation by If-moduli of smoGthness, see H. Musielak[3. As regards Bernstein inequality for trigonometric polynomials in generalized Orlicz spaces, see H. lliusie- lak [4]. A very important tool in dealing with Orlicz spaces, particularly in connection vnth problems of interpolation of operators (see 14) are the indices of Orlicz spaces. They were introduced by W. Matuszew- ska and W. Orlicz [21, (3) (see also Vi. hiatuszewska [)1) in the following manner. Let for a -function , , !u.vJ - ---:-- (ul= hm (v) ¥U)= hm br)' voo v--,oo Then the Hatuszewska - Odicz indices and <5"1f of the function If are d efiue d as lOt» ::: lim T 1 (u-tOQ log lU\ log u ) _ log J;plu/ = inf = sup log u ' (J, = 1 < lm 10g u U)O u)1 u log lU ) . log u ' they exist for every -function without parameter, although may be infinite (see also PoL.

Besides these indices, -functions If satisfying the condition (Ai ;for all u (see 8) , the function q>(uv) (U):: sup [I)(y:' 11"70 "t' is also of importance; it is always nondecreasing, left-continuous for u,vO and submultiplicative and in case of q> convex, 't is also p convex (see H. £iiU:Sielak[21, LemmA.l,pp. 57 - 58).

The notions of Natuszewska-Orlicz indices are generalized to the case of symmetric function spaces by D.W. Boyd (1) , (2) and by 1,1. Zippin [1] in connection with problellls of interpolation of operators (for a detailed study and further references, see L. I,laligranda(2JJ. One should mention also investigation of upper mean values in lat- tices of measurable functions, originated 1966 by Wo Orlicz [7J. A further development of the theory of Orlicz spaces consisting in application of a function depending on a par81Ileter t, l.ftt, 1..1), in pla- ce of a function \flul , was originated 1950 by H. Nakano [11 (APpendix I, p. 281) and developed 1959 by J. Musielak and W. Orlicz[3] as an example of modular spaces; in fact, under some restriction on a modular senn- ordered vector space, it is always a generalized Orlicz space (see 1. Generalized Orlicz spaces of functions 1d of sequences are also called modular function spaces (see J. Ishii [1)) and modular sequence space s (see J. Lindenstrauss and L. Tzafriri (11), or p1usielak - Orlicz spaces (see e.g. Ph. Turpinl51). There are many possible generalizations of the class 't from Defini tion 7.1, which furnish more general spaces Lip. These generalizations consist in replacing the continuity assumption on (t,uJ with respect to 1..1 by a weaker assumption of one-sided continuity, and in allowing the function If to take infinite values. I shall describe he- .., re briefly two of such possibilities, by I.V. Sragin and by Ph. Turpin. V' I.P. Sragin(1), 1970, int-:roduces the notion of a pre-genfunction and of - - a genfunction if . Namely, a pre - genf'unction is a function: '1x R+ R+, where R+ = [0,00.], if it is measurable with respect to t E;.,Sl. for every u?O and nondecreasing and left-continuous with respect to u,"R+ in the sense of topology in R for a.e. t..5l , and if (f(0, t) is integrable on .!l. . A pre-genfunction is called a genfunction , if qJ(O,t)= 0 and ,¥(OO,t)7 0 for a.e. tE-..D. , and \P(+O, t)= 0 a.e. on the set of tose t e.st which satisfy the inequality sup{u: I.f(u,t) < CD> O. loP. Sragin[11 investigates properties of generalized Orlicz spaces L, classes L and spaces Elf in case when tp is a genfunction. Ph. Turpin [5], 1978, consi- ders generalized modular spaces as an example of his theory of modular
174 scales, which were described in the comments to 1. He considers fun- ctions qJ:..Q. )( R+ R+ measurable with respect to t.S2. for all u 0 and increasing, left-continuous as a function of u O , equal to 0 and continuous at u = 0 for all t J'2. , which he calls Musielak-Orlicz fun- ctions (or Orlicz functions in case when , t) does not depend on t). Now, taking rex):: S !I(t, Ix G;!I) dM. x "SlT r and alxl:: r() , :: Cfa)a)O becomes a (J-.modular scale on X and the associated subaddi ti ve modular functional j., is equal to the F-norm '.11" generated by the modular r on X :: X. In the present exposition in 7 and 8 we limit ourselves to the case of lplt, u) - a 1-function for every t e..Q , in place of a. e. t e-J2. this is indeed no restriction, because we may exclude an exceptional subset of -'>- of measure 0 without changing the modular . Also the assumption of continuity in place of left-continuity of If with respect to u does not affect the generality much. Finally, supposing tp to ta- ke only finite values We exclude the space LOO which in cese of r- finite may be considered as Llf wi th cu)= 00 for sufficiently large u. How- ever, restricting ourselves to functions lpe- we avoid a number of technical difficulties which do not contribute much to the general dea of spaces L'P. The same reason of simplifying the course is responsible for restri- cting ourselves to the case of scalar-valued functions, mentioning the case of fQctions x with values in a Banach space at this place only. The theory of such spaces was developed first in case of a function wi thout parameter t, and the modular over the space X of measurable functions defined in...Q.. and with values in a Bana:ch space E is defined as tX)::SI/1C1lxC.U)d. Next, there were considered functions 4': E _ R+ ..tl. - - . th- in place of {o: R -+:Ii satisfying sui table assumptions, however, Wl 1 + + out supposing q> to be a superposition of a function on R+ withthe norm II lIon E only. The respective spaces are called by B. Turett[2], 1980, Fenchel - Orlicz spaces . The paper of B. T.urett l2J is an expository one and the reader may find there the solutions of problems of completeness, linear continuous functionals, strict convexity rotundity and Fchet differentials, together with a bibliography concerning such spaces.
175 Fenchel-Orlicz spaces over non-archimedean fields were intraduced 1981 by F. Fuentes and F.L. Hern&1dez [1] . Let us still remark that instead of "strong" Orlicz spaces of vec- tor-valued functions one can also consider "weak" Orlicz spaces of fun- ctions x wi th values in a Banach space E such that x""x E L for every linear continuous functional x1\o over E (see J. f,Iusielak and W. Orlicz [6], where the connection between such -Qpaces and some spaces of set functions V lAI = fAx (t] dtA- with finite generalized Rie sz variation is established) . The most general case consists in considering the function : ..Q.X E --+R+ ' where E is a Banach space. A systematic study of this case may be found in two papers of A. Kozek [11, l21 (1977 and 1979), where one may find also historical remarks, applications to the theory of subdiffe- rentials and an extensive bibliography (see also N. Dinculeanu[1J-[4], V.R. Portnov ll] , 11.S. Skaaf [1], [21, A.D. Ioffe [11 , [21, J.Y.T. Woo [1], Vi. Sch8rner ll1, F.L. HernMdez (1). Let us outline now the way of con- structing a modular defining the generalized Orlicz space by A. Ko- zek [11 . Let(J1.,I,r-J be a measure apace with a nonnegative, 6-finite, comple- te measure r- ' E - a Banach space, and J'?J - the (j-algebra of Borel sub- sets of E. There are considered N II - functions , i. e. functions \of : .ilx E R = [0, 00) satisfying the following conditions : + (i) there is a set oE!: with fA-(.!Lo) = 0 such that 1. q>(t,O)= 0, 2. \flt,-x/= If(t,x) for every xe- E , 3. I.f(t,x) is a convex function of xE , 4. tt, is a lower sellJicontinuous function of x '-E for every 1; f...tt ,..a. 0 lii) If is a 2,:xP.a -measurable function. If, moreover, there exist functions rA,'>'-: ..a..'..o.o""'(O,ro) such that l{1(t ,x) 0{ It) for x € E, "XIf "0 It) , then the UN-function tp is called an H'- function . Finally, if E is a separable, reflexive Banach space, 'P is anU'-function and there are functions S': ..n.......no-.(Q,oo)such that cp{t, x) 6 '7(t) for x €;E ,lIxll'll t) , then tp is called an N- function . Supposing \p to be an H" -function, denoting by X .the class of all L-measurable functions Jet<): ...$\.-. E with equality -a.e. and by L!-
176 the class of all x t' X for which Orlicz space Ltf contain:Lng Lip . o Generalized Orlicz spaces of vector-valued functions in case when lX):= S 'f(t, xlt»)dj4- < CD , the genera- ::a. is defined as the smallest linear subspace of X E is a topological vector space were defined and investigated by M. Wi- s;ta[l) ,(2]. The theory of generalized Orlicz spaces with values in a Banach space is in close connection with convex analysis (see R.T. Rockafel- lar [11, l21), the function <p being a specialization of a convex normal integrand. Let us remark still that in case of usual Orlicz spaces, there was proved for a sequence of convex -functions l<fnl and a convex l{>-function that Ux:lIxl for the respective norms in spaces :d'.. and Lf41 in an interval ta,b1 for every measurable bounded function in [a, b), if and only if I.\In Cu) \f) for u") 0 ( W. Orlicz [6J, Th.3 .1). Products of Orlicz spaces were considered by G. Dankert III and later by C. Bylka and W. Orlicz[21. Orlicz spaces based on a finitely additive measure are considered in W. Orlicz [81. Orl':icz spaces Llf were gene-ralized also, replacing one measure fA by a family of measures M-t" with "C'e-f , as show Examples 1.9,II-IV. Exam- ple'1.9.II1 with a . = 1 for in, a. := 0 for i»n, was investigated n n 'n by J. :Musiel ak and W. Or1icz D1 , L51, and in the general case by J. lIlu- sielak lJ1 and by A. Waszak t!l-[5]. Example 1.9.III in case when the mea- sures f-'lt:" are absolutely continuous with respect to one measure j\'L, i.e. LJq = sup S alt,)crOXltH) dt'«- ' was considered by A. Waszak(2], and the 't"oA, general case by A. Waszak(5) , L. Drevmowski and A. Kaminskall1 and A. KaminskaL21 (the last two for functions with values in a Banach space). Example 1.9.IV in case of a pseudomodular \X}= TL..;o S 1(\x ltJI> dt was investigated by J. Albrycht [11, [2], J. Iilusielak and W. Orlicz [3] and by H. Musielak ll); for the general case, see J. lVlusielak (8) and J. JYlusielak and A. Waszak [41 (see also 17) . Coming over to the approximation problems considered in 7.11 -7.24, let US first remark that the notion of -boundedness from Definition 7.11 was considered first by A. Kaminska [l1l see also 9, Theorem 9. 6 ) .
177 Theorems 7.15 and 7.16 were first proved by H. Hudzik, J. Musielak and R. Urbanski (11 in case when V = N '" 1,2,... and 1l() is the filter of complements of finite subsets of N. The results of 7.11 - 7.24 are to be found in J. Musielak [18]. Let us still remark that Theorems 7.13 - 7.16 are generalized to the case of two-modular spaces (see the com- ments to 5) by J. 11usielak [20J, and to the case of non-linear trans- forms Tw by J. l'ilusLelak [19]. ' 8 In case of convex 'f-functions without paramete r t, some relations of the form presented in Theorem 8.2 we re considered alre ady 1931 by Z. Birnbaum and W. Orlicz [2] and developed in the book of I'il.A. Kras- noselskiC and Ya.B. Rutickir 11]. If 'f is a f-function, not necessarily convex, indepen.dent of the parameter t, a study of these relations and applications to embedding theorems for Orlicz classes and Orlicz spaces being special cases of Theorems 8.4 and 8.5, was done 1961 by W. Matu- szewska ll], ll (see also the comments to 19). The first result concerning convex functions lop tp is due to J. Ishii [1] in 1959, who obtained Theorems 8.5 and 8.11 as regards inclu- sion of spaces, even if lflt, u) may be equal to 0 for some u::> 0 and may assume infinite vaJ.ues. S. Koshi and T. Shimogaki(ll in 1961 remark that the assumption of convexity of the functions is not essential here; they also conclude Theorem 8.13 with condition (6 2 \ for functions de- pending on a parameter, in case of Lip with Lebesgue measure in [0,1} and in case of 1'Y . For lsults concerning superpositions in generalized Orlicz spaces and in particular the condition 8.12(), see also A.D. Ioffe(31. A generalization of the above results to the case of functions with values in a Banach space, supposing the measure r- to be atomless, was done 1979 by A. Kozek [2]. Supposing If and I./' be N" -functions (see com- ments to 7), A. Kozek [1' Theorem 1.7 states first that the condi- tion 8.1 (1) implies L CL'b and secondly, that if fA is atomless, «(t,.) is continuous at 0 for a.e. t..n.. and E is separable, then L C::L im- plies 8.1 (1). The proof of Theorem 8.4 together with Lemma 8.3 we have adapted here just from A. Kozek l21. Restriction to scalar-valued func-
178 tions does not change the idea of proof and replacing the space of reals by a separable Banach space one obtains easily the vector-valued case. As regards the case of generalized Orlicz spaces ltj) of qequences, we adopt here a general approach given 1976 by LV. Sragin [2] . In fact, the simple and elegant method developed by IoV. Sragin may be applied to various problems concerning spaces of sequences. The importance of the conditions (.6 2 ) and (6"2) from Theorem 8.13 Will be seen also later in this book; the original condition (D 2 ) for large u>O without parameter (see Remark 8.15(21) was given alredy by W. Orlicz [1J . Theorems 8.17 and 8.18 in case of f indepcndent of the parameter t are due to W. Matuszewska and W. Orlicz[l1in 1961:, the conditions in Theorem 8.18. are then also necessary. There is still another approach to the problem of embedding of ge- neralized Orlicz spaces given by Ph. Turpin [11, [3] , [4) in connection with his galb theor".f. The notion of a galb GlE) of a linear topologi- cal space E defines Ph. Turpin (11, 1973, as the vector space of seq uen- ces )..== (>yJ of scalars n such that for every neighbourhood U of 0 in E there is a neighbourhood V of 0 in E such that 2 A V C U. He defines n>.o n convergence of a filter in G(E, and applies this notion to investiga- tion of products of Orlicz spaces and local boundedness of Orlicz spa- ces in case of a concave function cp . In 1976 Ph. Turpin(3) applies galbs in order to obtain embedding theorems for generalized Orlicz spa- ces of scalar-valued functions, proving the following result: Theorem. (Ph. Turpin,L3J). La) Let fA' be a:tollless and let >.,0{ ';> O. Let us denote ltl= sup {1l0: \jI(t,?\.u)oltp(t,u)l, , ).,,, 1- where we take sup /J ::: O.

179 A survey of the galb theory with applications to Orlicz spaces, both atomless and purely atomic, with emphasis put on embedding problems and products and unions of such spaces, may be found in Ph. Turpin [4J, where also a wide bibliography is given. Let us still remark that following the method of Ph. Turpin, :M. Wi- sla[3) extends embedding theorems to the case of generalized Orlicz spaces of functions with values in a topological vector space E. Finally, it should be noted that embedding theorems in vector-val- ued case with a Banach space E, both in the atomless as '1'1811 as in the puxely atomic case, are proved 1981 by A. Kaminska(21 in the more gene- ral case of a family of measures (ftd , 'L'E-- r , where the modular is gi- ven by the formula (x)== sp 1 'P(t, (t» d (see Example 109.II and comments to 7). The proof of A. Kaminska uses the argwnents of A. Kozek [2] in case of an atomless submeasure vtA) == v sup 't(!l.), and those of I. V. Sragin [.21 in case when...Q consists of a countable number of atoms. 9 A systematic treatment of criteria for conditional compactness of sets in spaces E\fI in case of an N-function tp without parameter and a compact set ...Q. Co R n , may be found in the book of M.A. Krasnoselskil: and Ya.B. Huticki! L1J, Chapter II, 11. In fact, our Theorems 9.3, 9.12, 9.14 and 9.11 correspond to Theorems 11.3, 11.2, 11.4 and Lemma 11.1 from the above book indeed, Theorem 9.12 for an N-function wi thout parameter satisfying the condition (f:::.2) may be traced back as far as to T. Takahashi L1], 1934 . Crt teria for conditional compact- ness in Orlicz spaces may be found also in the book of A. Kufner, O. John and S. Fucik [1], 3.14, pp. 172 - 178. Investigation of criteria for conditional compactness in subspaces E({I of generalized Orlicz spaces were originated by R. Pluciennik(21 in 1979 and then continued by A. Kaminska and R. Pluciennik [11 in 1980 and by A. Kaminska(1] in 1981 . The results presented in 9 are to be found in the above papers. Namely, Lemma 9.2 and Theorems 9.3, 9.6 in the more general case of vector-valued functions x with values in a
180 real Banach space, but for convex , are to be found in A. Kaminska (11 as Lemma 1.1, Theorem 1.2 and Theorem 1.6. Theorems 9.10, 9.11 and suf- ficiency part of Theorem 9.12 are in A. Kaminska and R. Plucie nnik[1] as Lemmas 2.3,2.2,2.4 and Theorem 2.9. Necessity part of Theorem 9.12 may be found in A. Kaminska (1), Theorem 3.1. Theorem 9.14 is from A. Kaminska and R. Pluciennik[l), Theorem 2.10. Let us still remark that some results concerning the translation. operator in Elf may be found also in T .1,1. Jliidryla and J. lYiusielak.[61. As regards applications to problems of compactness of operators in generalized Orlicz spaces and to linear integral equations and in- tegral equations of the type of Ha.IIUllerstein and. of Uryson in these spces, one should consult R. Plucieanik [31. 10 A systematic-study of generalized Orlicz-Sobolev spaces i due to H. Hudzik, who developed a theory of these spaces in a series of pa- pers H. Hudzikll1-17] written 176 - 1979.

Hudzik proved also a con- verse to Theorem 10.3, namely: Theorem (H. :audzik [7J). Let If,'r be N-functions (see Definition 13.1) satisfying both the condition )of 8.13 and the following con- dition : for every compact set B C..Q., there is a set A.scA of Lebesgue measure zero, a positive constant C B and a positive function inte- grable in..Q.. such that uC:(3 min[\flt,u), 'ttt,u)J+ (t)for u4 0 , t B'A.s' Finally, let W(..a.)CW{..o.), where Wl..Q.) is dense in (...o..) with respect to the normll'Qmk .

As regards properties and applications of Sobolev spaces and other spAces of differentiable functions, see the monography by A. Kufner, O. John and S. Fuci k l1]. The origin of considerations concerning generalized variation lies in the paper of N. Wiener [1], 1924, con-cerning quadratic variation. In the late 1930-th this paper was followed by a series of papers of L.C. Young [1], (21, and E.R. Love and L.C. Young (1], (21, finally 1951 by E .R. Love l11, where generalized variation with power P 1, the respec- tive generalized absolute continuity E.R. Love (1) and application to
182 Riemann-Stieltjes integrals and to Fourier series are given. Limit pro- perties of these families of spaces were investigated by J. Musielak and Z. Semadeni (1], where one can find also Example 10.10.1 in case of p lfC-u)=iul , p 1. In case of a function 'P<..u) without parameter, varia- tion V\p and the respective modular space '\I\f were defined and investi- gated by J. Musielak and W. Orlicz (1), 1957,l2], 1959, as well as the notion of If -abs(}lutely continuous functions. Let us quote the last no- tion here. A function x defined in la, b) is called - absolutely continu.- m ..Ql!2, if for every E. '/ 0 there exists a ;- > 0 such that £1 CP (Ix ({\> - x L) I) < E for all finite sets of non-overlapping intervals (ft_,A-) m C [a, b) , i '" 1,2,...,m, such that i1q>(t'i- oli> < 6 . Denoting by ACcp the space of all functions x in la, bl such that x (a)'" 0 and kx is -absolutely continuous in (a, b) for some k >0, AC'f is a closed subspace .4- -1 of VIf . If q> is convex and u <fLul...., 00 as uoo, then AC((I is a sepa- rable with respect to Vq>-convergence subspace of the nonseparable space 1J, and there is easily possible to establish approximation processes for functions from AC . Also, general form of linear, continuous func- tionals over ACIp may be obtained in the form of a Riemann-Stiel tjes in- tegral, assuming to be a convex N-function without parameter satisfy- ing the condition (t.1. 2 ) for small u,,>O , i.e.(52) (see J. liiusielak and W. Orlicz l2]). Examples 10.10.11 and III for If without parameter may be found in J. Musielak and W. Orlicz [3]. Linear continuous functionels over these spaces were investigated further by R. Lesniewicz and W. Or- licz [2] . Results for spaces VIf were obtained also by H.H. Herda[2]. Spaces of sequences of a fini te -variation were considered by J. jylu- sielak(2) .The parameter t in lt,u) in connection with spaces 1J1{I and ACtp was introduced and investigated in a series of papers in years 1976- 11178 by S. GnB:ka (1)-[6); in particular, Property 10.7(e)was proved in case of without parameter by J. r.iusielak and W. Orlicz [.21, and in the general case by S. Gnilkal1J. When speaking about generalized variation let us still mention the interesting notion of q-integral -variation introduce.d by A.p. Tere- hin [1) in 1972 in case of lu)::: I ul p , p 1, and developed in the gene- ral case by A. Borucka-Cieslewicz [11 , (2]. If x is a function defined in la,b1 and ac<db, 1q<ro, then we write
183 '"'q (c,d;x)= sup (dS-h I x(t+hl- X(t)jq dt )1/ q O<h<d-c c and we define the ct.- integral tf- variation of x by the formula m V tl'J q (X)= 10 up r {f.I ( u ( t " l ' t , ; x») , T ' 1'( i1 1 . '1 - where 1T: a = to < t 1 < ... <: t m = b runs over all partitions of the in- terval [a, b] . 11 Uniform conve:x:i ty of an Orlicz space LI{> wi th Luxemburg norm II I (see 1.5), with,!, without parameter, was proved by W.A.I. Luxemburg (1), P. 65, under the as sumption (1::. 2 ) as in Theorem 11.6, with h l tl == 0, 10 uppo- sing If to be uniformly convex (in the terminology used by Luxemburg, strictly convex). The method of proof applied for T"heorem 11.6 is just that of Luxemburg, replacing Orlicz space by a generalized Orlicz spa- ce; let us here remark in connection with Definition 11.5 that a notion of uniformly convex modular was considered already 1950 by H. Nakano [11( 50, p. 217)and[2J( 87, p. 226). Uniform convexity of the space LIf' with \V<:t, u) = f ul P (t), with 1..( K2 P l t)K1 < CD was proved by H. Nakano (2). Necessary and sufficient conditions for uniform convexity of if wi th Orlicz norm U II (see 13 .11) with CO without parameter, were gi- ,o T ven by H.W. Milnes [11 in case of an atomleBs measure. V.A. Akimovic[11 has shown that uniform convexity of (wi thout parameter) and (Ll 2) wi th hlt):: 0 are sufficient for uniform convexity of Ltf' both wi th resJ?e ct to the norm /I /1411 as well as the norm II II .

In the necessity part of the proof, the conditions (° 2 , A) , (6 2 ) and strict convexity of t.p are obtained, applying B. Turett [1]; uniform convexi ty of tp for uuo is proved indirectly. In case of a purely atomic measure, there holds the following Theorem (A. Kamiri.ska[3]). Let lp be a convex f-functionoowi thout para- meter. The Orlicz sequence space Ilf with modular (x)= t;1 cpntnl), x = ltn)l<P, is uniformly convex, if and only if, cp is strictly convex on the segment [0, uol, where If'(u o ):=: ' uniformly convex for sufficiently small u 0 and satisfies the condition (6 2 ) lpt2u) 'K(u) for ouuo' with some K>O and uo>O. H. Hudzik L9] obtained sufficient conditions and necessary conditions in order that a generalized Orlicz space of vector-valued functions be uniformly convex. In fact, these results are formulated for product of two generalized Orlicz spaces with Luxemburg norms. Let 1 ,1: 1 'fl) and ta2,,r-2) be two measure spaces withe-finite, atomless and complete measures 1"-1'/1-2 and let tf l ,lf2 E be convex functions of uO for every t E-..S'2.. 1 resp. se:..s1 2 .

'rhe proof of (a)is reduced to showing to be uniformly convex:, CPI is obtained applying the fact that (£1 2 ' implies etxl= 1 to be equiva-
185 lent to IIX/I= 1. Concerning Remark 11.4 let us note, that V.A. Akimovi(l)obtained necessary and sufficient conditions in order that a function 4>€- N (see Definition 13.1) without parameter be uniformly convex: Theorem (V.A. Akimovi6, [lJ). Let 4' : R -R be a convex, continu.o....... + + function such that \flO} = 0 and 1lul»0 for u >0, '-9 0 as uO+ and -1coas u-.co. Let p(ul be the rigi:J.t derivative of at u.

A normed space X with norm II II is called strictly convex or rotund ,if the condition Ux+yK=llxII +)Iyll with some x,Ye X , Y f. 0, implies the equality y "" cX with some constant c>O. Ne- cessary and sufficient conditions for strict convexity of an Orlicz space L If with function If' wi thout parameter and atomless measure p.t.. were given by H.W. Milnes [1Jin case of Orlicz norm and by 13. '.l'urett (11 in case of Luxemburg norm. The results of 13. Turett [11 were extended by H. Hudzik [81 and by A. Kaminska [41 to the case of function If with a para- meter. The same paper by H. HudzH: L81 contains a detailed study concer- ning uniformly convex and strictly convex functions 'P <.f and spaces. Theorem (Ei. Hudzik, [8]). Let the measure 1J.- be finite and atomless and let 4'f .

Let us still remark that the above theorems are proved under some Ifnl d (Uf-VI) == sets Bn ::.;:uO more general assumptions on lfCt,.) or Cfn' which do not need to be fi- ni te on the whole R . + A theorem of Clarkson says that a uniformly convex Banach space is always reflexive. There is no such connection between strict convexity and reflexivity, as show the following examples of Orlicz spaces given by H. Hudzik (81, where ItA.. is a -fini te and atomless measure. If <flu! == lU+1) In(Ui-1), then L is strictly convex but not reflexive. If { u for 0 <: u <: 1 { - u for 0 { u <' 2 (uJ" 2:-' for < -:'2, then '1'(* L: for 2: U:4 . 212 u - 1 for u '> 2 "4 u + 1 for u> 4 and both Ltf and L are reflexive, but are not strictly convex. There are considered also other properties related to uniform and strict convexity. Among them let us still mention the results of M. Denker and R. Kombrink (1) concerning B-convexity and uniform convexi- fiability of Orlicz sequence spaces. The abo.ve presented results were re cently further extended by H. Hudzik and A. Kaminska. 12 The notion of a modular defined as in 12.1 (b) was first introduced by H. Nakano tt1in the case of an abstract vector lattice. Theorem 12.4 is a result of L. Drewnowski and Yi. Orlicz [1], 2.1; the actual exposi- tion was kindly communicated to me by L. J)rewnowski. This result ( see also W.A. Woyczynski [1), (2) and K. Sundaresan[l)) shows that modulared vector lattrbces of measurable functions are nothing but some generali- zed Orlicz spaces. This was further generalized and extended. L. Drew- nowski and W. Orli cz [2] - [.5) investigated the same problem for orthogo- nally additive functionals over,vector lattices of measurable extended real-valued functions, obtaining the general form F (X)"" S f (t,x It))d1'L of .Sl. . orthogonally additive, continuous functional F, the function f beng of
187 a class Cw,a (see L. Drewnowski and W. Orlicz(5), 'l'heorem 3.2)0 As re- gards applications and extensions of heorem 12.4, it was applied (in the form of 12 0 7) by N.J. Kalton [1}, Th. 2.2, in order to prove that if T : E\f_X, where X is a topological vector space and Elf is defined by 7.2 with independent of the parameter, is a continuous, linear operator such tha"t' TfIx : ItxlI 1n is relatively compact and if .J:i!g \ 00 oo u == 0, then T == 0 (see also Theorem 13.22 ; compare D. PallaschIte(l) and Ph. Turpin(11). Lately L. Drewnowski (1) extended the result of N. J. Kal ton applying Theorem 12.4 for X =: E'f and Kal ton's method of Ra- demacher functions, to functions depending on a parameter. The result of L. Drewnowski, kindly communicated to me by the Author, is the fol- lowing one : Theorem (L. Drewnowski l11). Let tfE- and let f- be a O""-fini te, atomless measure on a O"-algebra 2: of subsets of a set.Jl , LI{1== L41(.!t,I,/-1,) . . l{ttM, ) Let Y be an arbtrary Hausdorff topologocal vector space.

Theorem 12.4 was also extended to Orlicz lattices. The notion of an Orlicz lattice, whose study was initiated and developed by W.J.Claas and A.C. Zaanenl1J, is defined as follows. Let L be a vector lattice (Riesz space in the terminology of W.J. Claas and A.C. Zaanen ; see al- so W .A.J. Luxemburg and A.C. Zaanen [16]) and let be a finite. disjoin- tly additive modular on L such that (>.x)......O as A--;O+' If L is co plete with re spe ct to the F-norm I I generated by ;the modular ' then L=(L,I I) is called an Orlicz lattice ; if is convex, we call Li!.= (L,tlll) with I( II defined as in 1.5, a convex Orlicz lattice . iiiore ge- neral, if I (I is any F-norm on L such that x,y(;L, IXI"Ylimply\:kI/ Iyl/, and L is complete with respect to the F-noI'lD.!l f , then\L,! If) is cal- led an F- lattice . A linear isomorphism P : LlL2' where L 1 and L 2 are F-lattices, is called a Riesz isomorphism, _ if P(XA y)== P lX1I\P(y) for all x,ye,; L l ; the lattices L l ,L 2 are then calJ_ed Riesz isomorphic . An ele- ment x of a vector lattice L is called a ]reak unit , if fl\e == 0 and f ;> 0 imply f == O. With this notation, the folloV'fing result is proved Theorem (W. Wnuk , 111). Let L be a convex O:clicz lattice with a
188 weak unit and let (2x)K(;x;)for all xc;L with a constant K)O. Then there exists a measure space l..!l,'I,r) with a finite measure /A- and a function <Fe wi th the following properties : 1 0 Cflt,u)')o for U>O, tE- 2 0 <e(t,u} is right-continuous at u = 0 for t..SL 3 0 f:!;,ul is convex with respect to uO for t €- 4 0 cp satisfies the condition 8.13 (2)' such that LE; ahd LIfL..Q., !,) are isometrically Riesz morphism P : L LlJl,t'r)satisfies the condition x L 0 isomorphic. This iso- (x) = I.f (Fx} for all This result W8J3 next extended to the case of cr not convex and not satisfying the (Ll ;[-condi tion : Theorem (F. Kranz andW. Wnuk[ll). IfL is an Orlicz lattice, then there exist a measure space ( ,f-) and a function <p € satisfying the conditions 1 0 and 2 0 above such that is isometrically Ries-z. iso- morphic to ElfbQ;r.,ftJ. If, moreover, L has a weak unit, then..Q. may be taken compact and,.,.. finit'e. In case of Lf!, with a weak unit,...c. is defined as the Stone space of the algebra ():t<(d)'" xA(e-x) = 01, lLf)+ being the positive cone of L , and Theorem 12.4 is applied to a modular lVI, defined on the algebra of open-closed subsets of..n by means of . In the general case, another Orlicz space with weak unit is obtained using Kuratowski-Zorn lemma and the prenous result is applied. 13 TDe theory of functions complementary in the sense of Young and the definition of the Orloicz norm II lit:) as in Theorem 13.11 in case "\,0 of convex functions without parameter is due to W. Orlicz [11 ,l21. In fact, W. Orlicz defined the space L as the set of measurable fun- ctions x such that Ilxl/p < 00 . A detailed exposition may be found in the books of W .A.J. Luxemburg [11 and of M.A.Krasnoselski:( and Ya.B. RuticJd.l.ll] (see also J. i'liusielak [14]). H. Hudzik and A. Kaminska [21 ob- served that the same argumentation may be applied to the case of fun- ctions depending on a parameter. The complementary function may be defined also in case of a non-convex function ; then one may de-
189 fine also the associated function . This definition together with 1'heorem 13.10 in case of independent of the parameter are due to W. Matuszewska and W. Orlicz111. Theorem 13.18 was proved in case ofcp in- dependent of the parameter by J. l,iusielak and W. Orlicz[4] for finite measu:rep... and by J. fiiusielak and A. Waszakl1:5J foro-finite measu:re. In case of 91 independent of the parameter and .!L= [a, b) , the general form of a -continuous, linear functional over L If was obtained by W. Orlicz L5) without assumption of convexity of If, only if tfu ,....., 00 as uoo. As regards some problems of convergence of -continuous, line- ar operators over Orlicz spaces with values in a nOYilled space or an F- norIJ.ed space, see W. Orlicz[41. Theorem n.19, i.e. the general form of a conjugate modularGin a generalized Orlicz space, was given al- ready 1950 by H. Nakano [1], Apuendix I, p.283. Theorem 13.22 was first given in case of norm convergence in the space Ltf over[0,11 with Le- besgue measure f. by S. Rolewicz [1], and extended to q-convergence in an atomless modular lattice by J. l"usielak and W. 0:clicZ(4). Theorem 13.18 may be applied to derive results on reflexivity of generalized Orlicz spaces. The necessary tool is here the following observation: ,.. ilxlI= SUPtX[t)YLt\dfA: YE:L, lIyllo,o 1!, done in case of tp indepehdent of" the pararueter by W .A.J. Luxemburg111 in Chapter II, p.50, and easily extendable to depending on t. Apply- ing this observation and 13.18, one may easily deduce the following sta- tement : Theorem . Let the following assumptions be satisfied 1 ) If ,f € liT are locally integrable, 2) for every u '7 0 there exists a c>O such that 0 ):>; and ) for u U o ' t Jl , v c U ?

Then the space <L ,IIII> is reflexive. (& if <0 satisfies Obviously, if {l'f , II II) is uniforwly convex 1 e. g. T the assumptions of 'rheorem 11.6 , then it is also reflexive.
190 14 The inte rpolation theorem of strong type for operators in L P spaces was proved first by ill. Riesz bJin 1926 and then extended, applying co plex method, by G.O. Thorin l1J in 1939 (see also G.O. Thorin[2J). I t can be found under the name of the theorem of Iii. Riesz and Thorin in the book of A. Zygmund [2] , 1.11, p. 95 (see also J. Bergh and J. L8fstr8m (1), theorem 1.1.1 ; for historical remarks, see A. Zygmund (21, Notes, p. 332). Besides this theorem, there is also known the interpolation theorem of wea..l.c type due to J. Marcinkiewiczl1), 1939 (see A. Zygmund(2), Theo- rem 1.3.1). In contrary to the Ill. Riesz - Thorin theorem proved by means of a complex method, the proof of Marcinkiewicz thDrem is based on real methods. Here, we deal only with extensions of the M. Riesz - Thorin theorem. First extensions of the M. Riesz - Thorin theorem to the case of Orlicz spaces were given 1963 independently by I.B. Simonenko and by Ya. B. RutickiL I.B. Simonenko[1'J interpolated between powers, but the in- termediate function needs ory to be a so-called uasipower function. Ya.B. Ruticki:L (1) interpolates between subspaces E of Orlicz spaces generated by N-functions w;i. thout parameter, where..Q. is a compact subset of R n ; he gives in this case the definition of -intermediate functions, and proves a theorem of the type of ou.r Theorem 13 .16 adopting the com- plex method of proof in case of linear operators and Orlicz norms (Ya. B. Ruticki!: DJ, Theorem 11 on p. 125) ; in Ya.B. Rutickit[21, 1964, the same is done in the case of Lt,q:emburg norms. The Swfie method is applied by M.M. Rao[l], 1966, who proves theorems on interpolation of linear operators between Orlicz spaces (Th.l on p. 549 and 'rh.2 on p. 552). The role of symmetric spaces in interpolation was pointed out by B.II1. Semenov (1), 1968. The interpolation theorem in the form of our Theorem 14.16, Le. for sublinear operators, but only in case of Orlicz spaces without pa- ra.w.eter which are symmetric spaces was given first by W.T. Kraynek(ll, 1972. He proved it for s-convex f-functions and also in case of vector- valued functions with values in a Banach space.
191 The present version of the interpolation theorem 14016 wag expanded also in a more general case of functions with values in Banach spaces, by H. Hudzik, J. 1iusielak and R. Urbanski[2J-[41, 1980. In[21, there are treated linear operators, and(.3]conte.ins results for sublinear ope- rators. Most results which are presented here were given in these two papers (e.g. 'rheorems 14.7,14.8 and 14.11 are from [2] and 14.9,14.10 and 14.16 are from(31).Auxiliary theorems on't'-intermediate functions are mostly simple modifications of those provided by Ya.B. Rutickil IJJ in case of N-functions without parameter. Let us still remark that the results presented in the papers by H. Hudzik, J. Musielak and R. Urbari.- ski l21, [3J concern vec-wr-valued functions with values in Banach spa- ces and were given here in the scalar case for the sak of simplicity_ In order to obtain the vector case one needs only to apply the methods developed by A. Kozek (1] , l2], H. Hudzik (JO) and by H. Hudzik and A. Ka- minska (11, L2J. In H. Hudzik, J. IvIusielak and R. Urbanski [41 there are obtained results on compacness of the interpolating operators under assumption on compactness of the given operators ; this paper concerns sublinear operators in spaces Elf for functions with val ues in Banach spaces. Results concerning interpolation theorem for generalized Orlicz seq uence spaces are to be found in H. Hudzik, Vi. Orlicz and R. Urbanski l1]. Interpolation theorems were also the starting p0int of a theory of intermediate spaces and interpolation spaces for pairs of Banach spaces. A wide exposition of these ideas, originated by J. Peetre [11 and by J .L., Lions and J. Peetre 81 in 1964 and further developed in a series of pa- pers by J. Peetre and other mathematicians may be found in the books of P.L. Butzer and H. Behrens 01, 1967 , J. Bergh and J. L8fstrBm [11, 1976, S.G. Krein, Yu.I. Petunin and E.M. SemenovUl, 1978, and H. Triebel[l], 1978, where also wide bibliographies may be found (see also A. Kufner, O. John and S. Fucik(l), 1977, p. 207}. The theory of intermediate and interpolation spaces in case of Orlicz spaces was developed by J. Peetre [21 in 1970, and by J. Gustavsson and J. Peetre[lJin 1977 (see also C. Bermett [1]); in case of general modular spaces with application to Or- licz spaces it as developed by A. Godziewski(l], 1978, and lately by M. Krbe c [11 . As regards intermediate and interpolation spaces for various types
192 of spaces (e.g. for Lipschitz classes etc.) and applications to weak interpolation, it has to be referred to the papers of A. Calderon (11 , 1964, G.G. Lorentz and T. Shimogaki (1), 1968, T. Shimogaki Ul, 1968, F. FeMr111, 1980, L. Maligranda (1], 1981. One should also mention the role of indices in Orlicz spaces and more general function spaces in the theory of interpolation. The respective papers were quoted in the Commenst to 7 ; for a wider bibliography, see L. Maligrandal2). 15 The idea developed in 15 together vdth Theorem 15.2 is due to o. ilbrycht and J. I\i.usielak [1), 1968. 16 The theory of spaces D LP ' i.e. Dip with tp(u)==IU\P, P?l, was given by L. Schwartz [1]in 1951, who applied it also for defining the space Diq of distributions as the dual of D._ P with 1 + 1 = 1. The respective the... .lJ p q ory of spaces D'f and their duals D wi th a convex N-function indepen- dent of the parameter t was originated 1961 and developed by J. Musielak (3)-(7]; in particular, L4'C:D;CD' for any convex N-functionr' where D' is the space of all distributions, the above embedding being continuous. Theorems 16.2 - 16.6 were proved by R. Bojanic and J. I.iusielak(l]in 1964, Theorem 16.9 is due to J. Albrycht and J. i'lusielak[11in 1968, and Theo- rem 16.14 was proved by Z. Ciesielski and J. I,iusiel alr in 1969 (see J. I\1usielak [8]). Spaces Dtp were extended to some more general case inclu- ding function If> with parameter by J. l\lagdziarz (1), t21.

Generalizations of the above two theorems to the case when n is re- placed by an arbi trry (possibly also uncountable) parameter are gi- ven in Theorems 18.11 and 18.12. 18 The notion of a faLOily of modulars depending on a parameter was introduced 1971 by J. lIlusielak and A. Waszak [6],where also Theorems 18.5 - 18.8 are proved. Theorems 18.10 - 18.12 may be found in the pa- per (7] of the same authors. The space Xq-s introduced in Example 18.13 was considered 1976 by T.lvl. Jdryka and J. hlusielakf2]; Theorem 18.18 on completeness was also proved there. The space of finite elements Es to- gether with Theorem 18.16 is to be found in T .1,1. Jdryka and J. Musie- lak [6]. The following result from this paper extends 7.6 and 7.10 : Theorem (T.lVl. Jdryka and J. 1\lUsielak(6)}. Let the following assump- tions be satisfied : 1.At:£ and ,t-tlA)<oo implYA€ X, where i\A is the characteristic fun- ction of the set A, 2. for every X" s there is a set ..Q.1E- £ of measure C.Ql):: 0 such that fQr every "70 there exists a 0.,. 0 such that for any tE..Q......n. l and B"r , the inequality j\t(B)<b implies ,Jt,xB)<t 3.for every XEX there exists a set ..a2L with f"--CA 2 )== 0 such that for every E> 0 there is a set A , tA\<.oosuch that for

Let us still notice two natural faIDilies of modulars depending on a parameter. One is defined on the space of analytic functions on the unit disc and is closely connected with Hardy-Orlicz spaces; we sh8J.l investigate this family in 19. Another one is the family of modulars ( ,x)==: <pC tD It>1) dt + Ix(o}J, where Dol is the derivative of fractio- nal order c( E (0,1] and is a convex -function ; this family was con- sidered by H. liiusielak and J. Musielak111, 1980. 19 First results concerning inclusions of Orlicz classes in case when 6A- is the Lebesgue measure in an interval.ft.= la, b I were obtained by W. I.Iatuszewska 111in 1961. She proved among others the following Theorem lW. Matuszewska [.11). Let i' ,9>1 .lf 2 ,... be tp-functions. 1) The inclusion il L'; la,bl C L't@,b) holds, if and only if, there exist an index m and a number d:;' 0 such that 't(U)d1m qi (1.11 La) for u U o with some u o > 0, if , b) is bounded, (pI for u-ZO, if la, b) is unbounded. ;>' 00. 2) The inclusion LI.fCa, b}C h!1 L\¥la, b) holds, if and only if, there exist an index m and a number c m > 0 such that tVm lu) c m \flu) (a, for u ;;u o with some U070, if la,b) is bounded, (PI for U'70, if (s;!.,bl is unbounded. 20 The notion of Hardy spaces is due to G.H. Hardy (1),1914 ; for other historical remarks, see A. Zygmund [1], Notes to Chapter IV, 7, p.381.
196 A theory of Hardy spaces H P with p>O (i,e. with U1)==luIP, p>O)as well as of the classes N and N' may be found in A. Zygmund (:1), Chapter IV, 7, pp. 211-285 . Definition 20.11lal, lb} is to be found in A. Zygmund tn, p.271 and 7.51 , p.283 ; for convenience we take the necessary and suf- ficient condition 7.51 as the definition of the class N'. Hardy-Orlicz spaces were introduced and investigated by R. Lesnie- wicz[1],1971 ; among others, the idea of the role of logarithmic con- veri ty in the theory of Hardy-Orlicz spaces is due to R. Lesniewicz l11 (for further investigation of logarithmically convex functions, see Cz. Bylka and W. Orlicz (11). The paper of R. Leaniewi.cz tl1contains among oth- ers also Theorems 20.5, 20.14, 20.16 - 20.21 ; Theorem 20.20 is proved in a more general setting of a sequence of tp-functions (like the theo- rem of W. Matuszewska [11, see comments to 19). General spaces s with modular s as in Definition 20.6 were intro- duced and investigated in the papers of T .M. Jdryka and J. Musielak l4) and of J. Musielak [14], [17]; Theorem 20.7 and Examples 20.8 are to be found there l171 . Hardy-Orlicz spaces Hf are complete wi. th re spect to the F-norm gene- rated by "the function \.f (R. Leaniewicz [11, Chapter III, Theorem 1.3.2). 'l!his is not true any more for general spaces ; indeed, the space Xs defined in Example 20.8 La) is not complete (J. Musielak [17J, pp.22-23). The Hardy-Orlicz space Hip is separable, if and only if, If sastisfies the condition (2) from Corollary 20.21 CR. Leaniewi.cz (1), Chapter III, Theorem 2.2.2); on the contrary, the space !. from Example 20.8 (a) is always separable (J. Musielak(17), p.23). It is not known under what conditions on the function m in Definition 20.6, the respective space X)is complete. Also it is not known under what conditions on m, J from 20.21 is a necessary and sufficient condition for separability of X!o . Let us still remark that the theory of Hardy-Orlicz spaces was fur- ther developed by R. Lesniewi.c z [21- [4], in the direction of problems of duali ty. An important property of spaces Iff is that there are nontri- vial continuous linear functionals over HCf even in case when f is not convex.
197 21 The idea of this Section consists in making the space of solutions of an integral eqUation dependent on the kernel of this equation, and not a fixed space like C(..!L) or LP(.Q..), as in the classical theory of integral equations. This idea was developed first by T .M. Jdryka and J. Musielak [31,1976, where however in place of a ball K'scr)in Xs there ...as considered a subset ={XE ,..: Ix It})[ a.e. in.A..} , with fi- xed M. The same was done by R. Pluciennik [1] , who applied more general Edelstein's fix-point theorem in place of Banach fix-point theorem. The present treatment was given by T .M. Jdryka and J. Musielak(51 (see also J. MusielakCt4). Applying the modular o(x)= It.£. (t,x)in place of t;s' the theory of modular equations of t he above considered type in the spa.- ce ce X was g:i ven in J. Musielak 05], where one can also find the spe- cialization to the integral equation xttl:: a p(t) rlsN{Jx;(s)l) ds + o x (,t) with p,r positive, measurable in [t ,(0), t real, sup p (t)(oo, o 0 0 tt.o I:o rlt)dt < 00 and with a convex tp-function Cf satisfying the <... :z)-condi- tion for small u (i.e. the (lJ condition). 22 The approximation problem 22.5 was first put by J. MusielakLl1), 1979, where also the proof of Theorem 22.7 may be fbund. A larger expo- sition of the results of 22 is to be found in J. Musielak \j6]. These results were further expanded and generalized by S. Stoinski [11,\2), whe- re among o"thers the assumption on the integral of lu)in 22.11 is re- placed by lim t 1 K lu)du::::: 1 and approximation of not necessarily non- n....oo 0 n negative functions x is considered.
