Fractional operators and their commutators on generalized Orlicz spaces

Abstract

In this paper we examine boundedness of fractional maximal operator. The main focus is on commutators and maximal commutators on generalized Orlicz spaces (also known as Musielak-Orlicz spaces) for fractional maximal functions and Riesz potentials. We prove their boundedness between generalized Orlicz spaces and give a characterization for functions of bounded mean oscillation.
