## A notion of Orlicz spaces for vector valued functions.(English)Zbl 1099.46021

Summary: The notion of the Orlicz space is generalized to spaces of Banach space valued functions. A well-known generalization is based on $$N$$-functions of a real variable. We consider a more general setting based on spaces generated by convex functions defined on a Banach space. We investigate structural properties of these spaces, such as the role of the delta-growth conditions, separability, the closure of $$\mathcal L^{\infty }$$, and representations of the dual space.
