Let $\Omega$ be a bounded, non-empty, regular open domain in $\mathbb{R}^d$. Let $1\le p,q\le \infty$ and $s>0$. Let $\mathcal{B}_{p,q}^s(\Omega)$ be the Besov space on $\Omega$ corresponding to these parameters, see eg Triebel's book [1].

Let $PW(\Omega)$ denote the set of functions from $\Omega$ to $\mathbb{R}$, which are the restriction of piecewise linear functions on $\mathbb{R}^d$ (with finitely many pieces).


My question is, what values of $p,q,s$ are such that $PW(\Omega)\subset \mathcal{B}_{p,q}^s(\Omega)$? Clearly, when $p=q=\infty$ and $s=1$ then $\mathcal{B}_{p,q}^s(\Omega)$ is the set of Lipschitz functions on $\Omega$, so $PW(\Omega)\subset \mathcal{B}_{\infty,\infty}^1(\Omega)$; however, what inclusions are known to hold in general?

    $\begingroup$ I assume you piece-wise linear functions are at least continuous, sicne you seem to assume they are Lipschitz. Therefore, it should belong to all Besov spaces $\mathrm{B}^{s}_{p,q}(\Omega)$, $p,q\in[1,+\infty]$, $s<1+1/p$. The idea is that piece-wise constant functions, which are derivatives of your considered functions, belong to Besov spaces for $s<1/p$. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ This follows from the fundamental multiplier theorem saying that the characteristic function of the half-plane yields a bounded multiplier on Besov spaces ${\mathrm{B}}^s_{p,q}(\mathbb{R}^n)$ provided $p,q\in[1,+\infty]$ and $s\in(-1+\tfrac{1}{p},\tfrac{1}{p})$. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ Can be found for example in the first by book by Triebel Theory of Function spaces $\endgroup$
