Some remarks on substitution and composition operators. (English) Zbl 1521.47045

Rend. Ist. Mat. Univ. Trieste 53, Paper No. 6, 25 p. (2021); corrigendum ibid. 53, Paper No. 8, 2 p. (2021).
In this paper, the authors study the linear substitution operator and nonlinear composition operator, namely, \[ S_\varphi(f)=f\circ\varphi,\; \varphi:[0,1]\rightarrow [0,1], \] and \[ C_g(f)=g\circ f,\; g:\mathbb{R}\rightarrow \mathbb{R}, \] respectively. They show that these operators have a very different behavior in the space of continuous functions, Lipschitz functions, functions of bounded variation, and Baire class one functions. Moreover, they give examples and counterexamples which illustrate this behavior.
