Abstract/Summary

For the classical space of functions with bounded mean oscillation, it is well known that VMO∗∗=BMOVMO∗∗=BMO and there are many characterizations of the distance from a function f in BMOBMO to VMOVMO. When considering the Bloch space, results in the same vein are available with respect to the little Bloch space. In this paper such duality results and distance formulas are obtained by pure functional analysis. Applications include general Möbius invariant spaces such as QK-spaces, weighted spaces, Lipschitz–Hölder spaces and rectangular BMOBMO of several variables.
