Higher-order Sobolev embeddings into spaces of Campanato and Morrey type

Necessary and sufficient conditions are offered for Sobolev type spaces built on rearrangement-invariant spaces to be continuously embedded into (generalized) Campanato and Morrey spaces on open subsets of the $n$-dimensional Euclidean space. As a consequence, the optimal target and domain spaces in the relevant embeddings are identified. Our general criteria are implemented to derive sharp embeddings in the class of Orlicz-Sobolev spaces.
