Let $\Omega $ be a bounded open set in $\mathbb R^n$, $n \geq 2$. In a well-known paper {\it Indiana Univ. Math. J.}, 20, 1077--1092 (1971) Moser found the smallest value of $K$ such that $$ \sup \bigg \{\int _{\Omega } \exp \Big (\Big (\frac {\left |f(x)\right |}K\Big )^{n/(n-1)}\Big )\colon f\in W^{1,n}_0(\Omega ),\|\nabla f\|_{L^n}\leq 1\bigg \}<\infty . $$ We extend this result to the situation in which the underlying space $L^n$ is replaced by the generalized Zygmund space $L^n\log ^{n-1}L \log ^{\alpha }\log L$ $(\alpha <n-1)$, the corresponding space of exponential growth then being given by a Young function which behaves like $\exp (\exp (t^{n/(n-1-\alpha )}))$ for large $t$. We also discuss the case of an embedding into triple and other multiple exponential cases.
If the Poisson integral of the unit disc is replaced by its square root, it is known that normalized Poisson integrals of $L^{p}$ and weak $L^{p}$ boundary functions converge along approach regions wider than the ordinary nontangential cones, as proved by Rönning and the author, respectively. In this paper we characterize the approach regions for boundary functions in two general classes of Orlicz spaces. The first of these classes contains spaces $L^{\Phi }$ having the property $L^{\infty }\subset L^{\Phi }\subset L^{p}$, $1\le p<\infty $. The second contains spaces $L^{\Phi }$ that resemble $L^{p}$ spaces.
Given $\alpha $, $0<\alpha <n$, and $b\in {\mathrm BMO}$, we give sufficient conditions on weights for the commutator of the fractional integral operator, $[b,I_\alpha ]$, to satisfy weighted endpoint inequalities on $\mathbb{R}^n$ and on bounded domains. These results extend our earlier work [3], where we considered unweighted inequalities on $\mathbb{R}^n$.
