Abstract

We prove that the Lebesgue space of variable exponent L p ( · ) ( Ω ) is modularly uniformly convex in every direction provided the exponent p is finite a.e. and different from 1 a.e. The notion of uniform convexity in every direction was first introduced by Garkavi for the case of a norm. The contribution made in this work lies in the discovery of a modular, uniform-convexity-like structure of L p ( · ) ( Ω ) , which holds even when the behavior of the exponent p ( · ) precludes uniform convexity of the Luxembourg norm. Specifically, we show that the modular ρ ( u ) = ∫ Ω | u ( x ) | d x possesses a uniform-convexity-like structure even if the variable exponent is not bounded away from 1 or ∞ . Our result is new and we present an application to fixed point theory.
