1. Introduction
As is well-known, the circular and irregular convex domains are generally used to apply to fractional partial differential equations (FPDE) [
1,
2,
3]. Most recently, researchers focus on the regional structures and properties of domains for partial differential equations, such as the two-dimensional distributed order space diffusion equation [
4], reaction-diffusion equations with time delay [
5] and so on. But in practical life and production, there are significant limitations to the two-dimensional distributed order space diffusion equation on these two kinds of domains. Consider the following two-dimensional distributed order space-fractional diffusion Equation (2D-DO-SFDE for short) [
6]:
the initial condition is as follows
and
is a certain domain for 2D-DO-SFDE which satisfies zero Dirichlet boundary condition
Moreover,

where
and

.
and
are two non-negative weight functions which satisfy the following conditions for all
where
E is a suitable domain for
.
In the above equation, it is clearly known that is an irregular convex domain. This type of domain is suitable for solving the problem for a class of specific reaction–diffusion models or for analyzing the existence of solutions to two-dimensional fractional partial differential equations. However, in more general case, the properties of the solutions to these differential equations will be insufficient to meet the requirements of practical computations.
In this paper, we study s-convex-averaging domains, which are generalizations of irregular convex domains, by using s-convex functions and generalized Orlicz norms. We first characterize s-convex-averaging domains, which are denoted by , and discuss the invariance of under K-quasiconformal mapping and K-quasiisometric mapping, where is an s-convex function and is a weight measure satisfying -conditions. Next, some particular characteristics for generalized Orlicz spaces are given, and embedding inequalities for the solution of the two-dimensional distributed order space-fractional diffusion equation are derived.
A closed set
, with nonempty interior, is said to be a convexity domain if there exists a convex local mapping
f:
that does not admit any convex finite-valued extension outside
E, see [
7,
8] for more details on convex functions and convexity domains. The definitions and properties of
s-convex functions were introduced in [
9]. The generalized Orlicz spaces are given while the young functions are replaced by
s-convex functions; for more details on Orlicz spaces, see [
10,
11]. Then, we extend the convexity domain to the
s-convex domain. We further use generalized Orlicz norms and quasi-hyperbolic distance to characterize this kind of domain. The theory of quasi-hyperbolic distance was introduced in [
12]. The quasi-conformal mappings and quasi-isometric mappings were given in [
13,
14,
15]. The Lebesgue measure is replaced by a weight function that satisfies the
-conditions introduced in [
16]. Averaging domains are involved in many research fields such as partial differential equations, potential theory, and operator theory; see [
17,
18,
19]. The
-averaging domains were first introduced by Staples in [
20], and then were extended in [
21,
22]. Combining with the concept of averaging domains and the
s-convex domain, we establish the
s-convex-averaging domains, which are extensions of convexity domains and irregular convex domains.
Throughout this paper, we assume that

2. Preliminaries
In this section, we need to recall some theories and properties of two types of
s-convexity. Then we give the definition of an
s-convex-averaging domain. The following definition appeared in [
9].
Definition 1 ([
9])
. A function is said to be s-convex () in the first sense if the following is met:for all and all with . We denote this by .A function is said to be s-convex in the second sense if inequality (
2)
holds for all and all that satisfy the following:We denote this by . Remark 1. Both s-convexities mean just the convexity when .
The product rule and composite property for s-convex functions are as follows:
Lemma 1 ([
9])
. Let , and , .If f and g are non-negative functions such that either and or and , then the product of f and g belongs to , where .
If f is a non-decreasing function in and g is a non-negative convex function on , then the composition of f with g belongs to .
Next, we introduce the generalized Orlicz spaces with s-convex functions.
Definition 2. Let and on with . Ω
be a domain with . We denote the generalized Orlicz space , the space of all functions for which we obtain the following:for . Then, we can easily see the following:if . The definition of
s-convex-averaging domains
is as follows. It is an extension of the
-averaging domain and irregular convex domains, which were introduced in [
4,
20].
Definition 3. Let and on with for . We say that Ω

20])
. The quasi-hyperbolic distance between x and y in Ω
is given by the following:where γ is any rectifiable curve in Ω
joining x to y, is the Euclidean distance between z and the boundary of Ω.
Some properties and applications of the quasi-hyperbolic metric could be found in [
20,
21]. The following definitions and properties of weight functions appeared in [
16,
23].
Definition 5 ([
20,
23])
. Let a weight function ω

16])
. Let . We say that ω satisfies a weak reverse Hölder’s inequality and write when there exist constants and such that the following is met:for all balls B with , in fact the set is independent of . is a doubling weight function, and satisfies the doubling property: for arbitrary measurable set , there exist a constant , independent of , such that . The set of all doubling weight functions denoted by . Similarly, for all balls B with , the condition is holds, where is a constant, also independent of B.
Lemma 2 ([
23,
24])
. Let . Suppose that s and q are positive constants and the following is calculated:for each and each B with . Then there exists a constant such thatfor all x and y in Ω. Here is the ball . 3. Properties of -Convex-Averaging Domain
In this section, we first characterize the s-convex-averaging domain by using s-convex functions and the quasi-hyperbolic distance. Then we give some properties of s-convex-averaging domain with Whitney cover.
Theorem 1. Assume that . Let for with and for some and all . Then we say that Ω
is an s-convex-averaging domain if and only if the following is met:for each in Ω
and some . Theorem 2. Let on with , , for some and all , and be the Whitney cover of Ω

, , and are some small positive constants and the measure μ is defined by , . Corollary 1. Let for and the measure μ be defined by . Each is an s-convex-averaging domain for the fixed and the fixed measure μ. Then we have the following:
- i.
If , then E is an s-convex-averaging domain.
- ii.
If and . Then E is an s-convex-averaging domain.
In order to prove the results, we need the following Lemma:
Lemma 3 ([
20])
. Let for some and on with , for some and , . Let B be any ball in Ω
with center and radius r. Then we obtain the following:where , C is a constant independent of B and the constant is small enough. The following conclusion for s-convex-averaging domain is a key tool for the main results:
Lemma 4. Let for and Ω

c, we have the following:
and
Hence, we obtain the following:
By the fact that

where
and

14), we can easily obtain the following:
where
and
C is a certain constant, independent of
u. □
Now, we give the proof of Theorem 1.

s-convex-averaging domain. By Lemma 4, we have the following:

Next, we assume that (
8) holds, then, we only have to show that (
6) holds. By (
5) we have the following:

16) and (
5) for
, we obtain the following:
If

17), we obtain the following:
From (
17) and (
18), we obtain the following:
Then,
is an
s-convex-averaging domain. □
The Lemma of Whitney cover is as follows, which appeared in [
25,
26]. Obviously, compared with the Besicovitch cover (see [
27] for an introduction to the Besicovitch cover), the Whitney cover is more elementary and more suitable for the study of the
s-convex-averaging domain.
Lemma 5 ([
25,
26])
. Each domain Ω
has a modified Whitney cover of cubes , which satisfy , for all , and some , and if , then there exists a cube in such that . Moreover, if Ω
is a δ-John, then there is a distinguished cube that can be connected with every cube by a chain of cubes from W and such that , , for some . Now, we give the proof of Theorem 2.
Proof. By Definition 4, for any
,
. Let

with centers
. Assuming (
10) holds, then we have the following:
Now let

where
. And by (
10), we know (
19) is finite. Next, let
. Similar to the proof of
, we have the following:
Next we assume (
9) holds and prove (
10). Let

Integrating (
20) over

Using (
11) and Lemma 3, we sum (
21), written as follows:
where

9), we know (
22) is finite. Similarly, when
, we obtain the following:
and
The above (
23) is finite, then we complete the proof of Theorem 2. □
4. Invariant of -Convex-Averaging Domain
In this section, we prove one of our main results, the invariant of
s-convex-averaging domains under the quasi-conformal mappings and quasi-isometric mappings. The following lemma appeared in [
13].
Lemma 6 ([
13])

K-quasi-isometry is given in [
13,
14,
15].
Definition 7 ([
14,
15])
. A mapping f defined in Ω
is said to be a K-quasi-isometry, , if the following is met:for all . The properties of
K-quasi-isometric mapping is as follows which appeared in [
15].
Lemma 7 ([
15])

15])

Theorem 3. If is a surjective K-quasi-conformal mapping and is the Jacobian determinant of f. Then, we obtain the following:
- (a)

- (b)
Ω is an s-convex-averaging domain , where m is Lebesgue measure, then is an s-convex-averaging domain with .
Proof. We first consider (a). Let

24) and
, we obtain the following:
On the other hand, let
. We then have the following:
By Theorem 1, (
25) and (
26) are finite. So
is an
s-convex-averaging domain
. Next, we derive (b). Similar to (a), we have the following:
Since

s-convex-averaging domain
, there exists constant
for

For
, choose

By Theorem 1, we obtain the first part of (
27) and (
28) are finite. For the second part of (
27) and (
28), the following is assumed:
Combining (
27)–(
29), we have the following:
The proof of Theorem 3 has been completed. □
Theorem 4. If is a K-quasi-isometric mapping and Ω is an s-convex-averaging domain , then is an s-convex-averaging domain , where μ and ν are measures defined by and .
Proof. Let

x to
y in
and set

30), we have the following:

30) and (
31) and Theorem 1, we have the following:
where

C is a certain constant, independent of
x and
. We have finished the proof of Theorem 4. □
5. Embedding Inequality for Two-Dimensional Equations
In this section, by
we mean that
with some positive constant C independent of appropriate quantities. If
and
, we write
, and then we say that
A and
B are equivalent. We first show the definition of generalized Orilcz–Morrey spaces and the concept of class
. Generalized Orilcz–Morrey spaces are important tools for the local solutions of partial differential equations; see [
28,
29,
30] for more theories of Orilcz–Morrey spaces. So we establish the embedding inequality for the solutions of two-dimensional diffusion-wave equations on the
s-convex-averaging domain with generalized Orilcz–Morrey norms.
Definition 8 ([
11])
. Let and . We say that lie in the class , , and , if and for all and , where g is a convex increasing function and h is a concave increasing function on . Lemma 9 ([
11])
. Let Φ
be an s-convex function in the class , , . Ω
be any bounded -averaging domain. Assume that . Then we obtain the following:for any constant and all balls B with , where the measure μ is defined by and is a weight function satisfies (
7).
If
, both
and
become convex functions if they are non-decreasing and continuous. More details of the class
were introduced in [
11]. Next, we show the definition of generalized Orilcz–Morrey spaces.
Definition 9. Let be a positive measurable function on and Φ
be an s-convex function. We denote by the generalized Orlicz-Morrey spaces, the space of all functions for which the following is obtained:where , satisfies (
4).
We give the embedding inequality on the s-convex-averaging domain in the following theorem with the generalized Orlicz-Morrey norms.
Theorem 5. Let u be a solution of the two-dimensional distributed order space-fractional diffusion Equation (
1)
. Let also Φ
be an s-convex function in the class , and is almost decreasing for . , and Ω
is an s-convex-averaging domain. Assume that . Then there exists a constant C, such that the following is calculated:where is a ball, the measure μ is defined by and is a weight function satisfies (
7).
Proof. By Definition 9, Definition 2, and Lemma 9, we have the following:
Using (
6) and (
34), we have the following:
We have completed the proof of Theorem 5. □
Remark 2. Let and are two classes of s-convex functions in and . By Lemma 1, we obtain the following:andIt is easy to know that Theorem 5 holds with the norms and , respectively. Remark 3. The s-convex-averaging domains are generalized domains of the -averaging domains. By Theorem 3.14 in [20], we know that John domains are special cases of -averaging domains. So Theorem 5 holds for the above domains, respectively.
