On the reflexivity of the spaces of variable integrability and summability

Abstract

In this paper, we show that under the condition $ 1<p_-, q_-, p_+, q_+<\infty$, the space $\ell^{q(\cdot)} (L^{p(\cdot)})$ is reflexive. In this way we give an answer to open problem posed by H\"ast\"o in 2017 about the reflexivity of the variable mixed Lebesgue-sequence spaces $\ell^{q(\cdot)} (L^{p(\cdot)})$. What is important here is that the dual space of $\ell^{q(\cdot)} (L^{p(\cdot)})$ is specified. As its direct corollary, we show that the corresponding Besov space $B^{s(\cdot)}_{p(\cdot)q(\cdot)}$ is reflexive.
