Weighted norm inequalities for Toeplitz type operators associated to generalized Calderón–Zygmund operators
SpringerPlus volume 5, Article number: 1352 (2016)
Abstract
Let \(T_1\) be a generalized Calderón–Zygmund operator or \(\pm I\) ( the identity operator), let \(T_2\) and \(T_3\) be the linear operators, and let \(T_3=\pm I\). Denote the Toeplitz type operator by
where \(M^bf=bf,\) and \(I_\alpha \) is fractional integral operator. In this paper, we establish the sharp maximal function estimates for \(T^b\) when b belongs to weighted Lipschitz function space, and the weighted norm inequalities of \(T^b\) on weighted Lebesgue space are obtained.
Introduction and results
As the development of the singular integral operators, their commutators have been well studied (Coifman et al. 1976; Harboure et al. 1997; Lin et al. 2015). Coifman et al. (1976) proved that the commutators [b, T], which generated by Calderón–Zygmund singular integral operators and BMO functions, are bounded on \(L^p({\mathbb {R}}^n)\) for \(1<p<\infty .\) Chanillo (1982) obtained a similar result when Calderón–Zygmund singular integral operators are replaced by the fractional integral operators. Recently, some Toeplitz type operators associated to the singular integral operators are introduced, and the boundedness for the operators generated by singular integral operators and BMO functions and Lipschitz functions are obtained (see Lin and Lu 2006; Lu and Mo 2009).
The following generalized Calderón–Zygmund operator was introduced by Chang et al. (2007).
Definition 1
Let \({\mathcal {S}}({\mathbb {R}}^n)\) be the space of all Schwartz functions on \({\mathbb {R}}^n\) and \({\mathcal {S'}}({\mathbb {R}}^n)\) its dual space, the class of all tempered distributions on \({\mathbb {R}}^n.\) Suppose that \(T:{\mathcal {S}}({\mathbb {R}}^n)\rightarrow {\mathcal {S}}'({\mathbb {R}}^n)\) is a linear operator with kernel \(K(\cdot ,\cdot )\) defined initially by
The operator T is called a generalized Calderón–Zygmund operator provided the following three conditions are satisfied:
-
1.
T can be extended as a continuous operator on \(L^2({\mathbb {R}}^n)\);
-
2.
K is smooth away from the diagonal \(\{(x,y):x=y\}\) with
$$\begin{aligned} \int _{|x-y|>2|z-y|}\Big (|K(x,y)-K(x,z)|+|K(y,x)-K(z,x)|\Big )dx\le C, \end{aligned}$$where \(C>0\) is a constant independent of y and z;
-
3.
There is a sequence of positive constant numbers \(\{C_j\}\) such that for each \(j\in {N},\)
$$\begin{aligned} \bigg (\int _{2^j|z-y|\le |x-y|<2^{j+1}|z-y|}|K(x,y)-K(x,z)|^\gamma dx\bigg )^{1/\gamma }\le C_j(2^j|z-y|)^{-n/\gamma '} \end{aligned}$$and
$$\begin{aligned} \bigg (\int _{2^j|z-y|\le |x-y|<2^{j+1}|z-y|}|K(y,x)-K(z,x)|^\gamma dx\bigg )^{1/\gamma }\le C_j(2^j|z-y|)^{-n/\gamma '} \end{aligned}$$where \((\gamma ,\gamma ')\) is a fixed pair of positive numbers with \(1/\gamma +1/\gamma '=1\) and \(1<\gamma '<2.\)
If we compare the generalized Calderón–Zygmund operator with the classical Calderón–Zygmund operator, whose kernel K(x, y) enjoys the conditions
and
where \(|x-y|>2|z-y|\) for some \(\delta >0,\) we can find out that the classical Calderón–Zygmund operator is a generalized Calderón–Zygmund operator defined above with \(C_j=2^{-j\delta },j\in N,\) and any \(1<\gamma <\infty .\)
Let b be a locally integrable function on \({\mathbb {R}}^n.\) The Toeplitz type operator associated to generalized Calderón–Zygmund operator and fractional integral operator \(I_\alpha \) is defined by
where \(T_1\) is the generalized Calderón–Zygmund operator or \(\pm I\) (the identity operator), \(T_2\) and \(T_4\) are the linear operators, \(T_3=\pm I,\) and \(M^b f=bf.\)
Note that the commutators \([b,I_\alpha ](f)= bI_\alpha (f)-I_\alpha (bf)\) are the particular operators of the Toeplitz type operators \(T^b.\) The Toeplitz type operators \(T^b\) are the non-trivial generalizations of these commutators.
It is well known that the commutators of fractional integral have been widely studied by many authors. Paluszyński (1995) showed that \(b\in Lip_\beta ({\mathbb {R}}^n)(0<\beta <1)\) (homogeneous Lipschitz space) if and only if \([b,I_\alpha ]\) is bounded from \(L^p({\mathbb {R}}^n)\) to \(L^q({\mathbb {R}}^n),\) where \(1<p<{n}/({\alpha +\beta })\) and \({1}/{q}={1}/{p}-({\alpha +\beta })/{n}.\) When b belongs to the weighted Lipschitz spaces \(Lip_{\beta }(\omega ),\) Hu and Gu (2008) proved that \([b,I_\alpha ]\) is bounded from \(L^p(\omega )\) to \(L^q(\omega ^{1-(1-\alpha /n)q})\) for \(1/q=1/p-(\alpha +\beta )/n\) with \(1<p<n/(\alpha +\beta ).\) A similar result obtained when \(I_\alpha \) is replaced by the generalized fractional integral operator (Hu et al. 2013).
This paper investigates the boundedness of the Toeplitz type operator associated to generalized Calderón–Zygmund operator, fractional integral operator \(I_\alpha \) and weighted Lipschitz function on weighted Lebesgue space. The main result is as follows.
Theorem 1
Suppose that \(T^b\) is a Toeplitz type operator associated to generalized Calderón–Zygmund operator and fractional integral operator \(I_\alpha \), and \(b\in Lip_{\beta }(\omega )(0<\beta <1).\) Let \(0<\alpha<n,\gamma '<p<n/(\alpha +\beta ),1/q=1/p-(\alpha +\beta )/n,\{jC_j\}\in l^1,\omega ^{q/p}\in A_1\) and the critical index of \(\omega \) for the reverse Hölder condition \(r_\omega >\frac{(q-1)\gamma '}{q-\gamma '}.\) If \(T^1(f)=0\) for any \(f\in L^{p}(\omega ),\) \(T_2\) and \(T_4\) are the bounded operators on \(L^{p}(\omega ),\) then there exists a constant \(C>0\) such that,
Noticing that the classical Calderón–Zygmund operator is a generalized Calderón–Zygmund operator with \(C_j=2^{-j\delta }(j\in {\mathbb {N}})\) and any \(1<\gamma <\infty .\) Then we can obtain the following result as a corollary.
Corollary 1
Let T be a classical Calderón–Zygmund operator, \(0<\beta<1,1<p<n/(\alpha +\beta ),1/q=1/p-(\alpha +\beta )/n,\) and \(\omega ^{q/p}\in A_1.\) If \(b\in Lip_\beta (\omega ),\) then \(T^b\) is bounded from \(L^p(\omega )\) to \(L^{q}(\omega ^{1-(1-\alpha /n)q}).\)
The paper is organized as follows. Section introduces some notation and definitions, and recalls some preliminary results. Section establishes the sharp estimates for Toeplitz type operators. Section gives the proof of Theorem 1.
In this paper, we shall use the symbol \(A\lesssim B\) to indicate that there exists a universal positive constant C, independent of all important parameters, such that \(A\le CB.\) \(A\thickapprox B\) means that \(A\lesssim B\) and \(B\lesssim A.\)
Some preliminaries
A weight \(\omega \) is a nonnegative, locally integrable function on \({\mathbb {R}}^n.\) Let \( B = B_r(x_0)\) denote the ball with the center \(x_0\) and radius r, and let \(\lambda B=B_{\lambda r}(x_0)\) for any \(\lambda >0.\) For a given weight function \(\omega \) and a measurable set E, we also denote the Lebesgue measure of E by |E| and set weighted measure \(\omega (E)=\int _E\omega (x) dx.\) For any given weight function \(\omega \) on \({\mathbb {R}}^n,\) \(0<p<\infty ,\) denote by \(L^p(\omega )\) the space of all function f satisfying
Definition 2
(Muckenhoupt 1972) Let \(1<p<\infty .\) We say \(\omega \in A_p\) if
where the supremum is considered over all ball \(B\subset {\mathbb {R}}^n\) and, \(\omega \in A_1\) if
Definition 3
(Muckenhoupt and Wheeden 1974) A weight function \(\omega \) belongs to \( A_{p,q}\) for \(1<p< q<\infty ,\) if for every ball B in \({\mathbb {R}}^n,\) such that
where \(p'\) denotes the conjugate exponent of \(p>1;\) that is, \(1/p+1/p'=1.\)
From the definition of \( A_{p,q},\) we can get that
Definition 4
(García-Cuerva and Rubio de Francia 1985) A weight function \(\omega \) belongs to the reverse Hölder class \(RH_s\) if there exists constant \(s>1\) such that the following reverse Hölder inequality
holds for every ball \(B\subset {\mathbb {R}}^n.\)
It is well known that if \(\omega \in A_p\) with \(1< p<\infty ,\) then \(\omega \in A_r\) for all \(r>p,\) and \(\omega \in A_q\) for some \(1<q<p.\) If \(\omega \in A_p\) with \(1\le p<\infty ,\) then there exists \(r>1\) such that \(\omega \in RH_r.\) It follows directly from Hölder’s inequality that \(\omega \in RH_r\) implies \(\omega \in RH_s\) for all \(1<s<r.\) Moreover, if \(\omega \in RH_r,r>1,\) then we have \(\omega \in RH_{r+\epsilon }\) for some \(\varepsilon >0.\) We write \(r_\omega =\sup \{r>1: \omega \in RH_r\}\) to denote the critical index of \(\omega \) for the reverse Hölder condition.
Lemma 1
(García-Cuerva and Rubio de Francia 1985) The following results about weight function are right.
-
(i)
Suppose \(\omega \in A_1.\) Then
$$\begin{aligned} |B|\underset{x\in B}{{\text{ inf }}} \omega (x) \thickapprox \omega (B). \end{aligned}$$(2) -
(ii)
Let \(1\le p<\infty , \) and \(\omega \in A_p.\) Then, for any ball B and any \(\lambda >1,\)
$$\begin{aligned} \omega (\lambda B)\lesssim \lambda ^{pn}\omega (B). \end{aligned}$$(3)
Next, we shall recall the definition of the Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator and several variants, the fractional integral operator and some function spaces.
Definition 5
The Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator Mf is defined by
We set \(M_\delta (f)=M(|f|^\delta )^{1/\delta },\) where \(0<\delta <\infty .\)
The sharp maximal operator \(M^\sharp f\) is defined by
We defined the \(\delta \)- sharp maximal operator \(M_\delta ^\sharp (f)=M^\sharp (|f|^\delta )^{1/\delta },\) where \(0<\delta <1.\)
Lemma 2
(Stein 1993) Let \(0<q<\infty ,\) and \(\omega \in A_p ( 1\le p<\infty ).\) Then
Definition 6
For \(0\le \alpha <n,t\ge 1,\) we define the fractional maximal operator \(M_{\alpha ,t}f\) by
and define the fractional weighted maximal operator \(M_{\alpha ,r,\omega }f\) by
In order to simplify the notation, we set \(M_{\alpha }=M_{\alpha ,1},M_{t,\omega }=M_{0,t,\omega }.\)
Definition 7
For \(0<\alpha <n,\) the fractional integral operator \(I_\alpha \) is defined by
Lemma 3
Let \(I_\alpha \) be fractional integral operator, and let E be a measurable set in \({\mathbb {R}}^n.\) Then for any \(f\in L^1({\mathbb {R}}^n),\) we have
Proof
Since
we have
\(\square \)
Lemma 4
(See Muckenhoupt 1972) Let \(0<\alpha <n,1/q=1/p-\alpha /n\) and \(\omega \in A_{p.q}.\) Then
Let us recall the weighted Lipschitz function space.
Definition 8
For \(1\le p<\infty , 0<\beta <1,\) and \(\omega \in A_{\infty }.\) A locally integrable function b is said to be in the weighted Lipschitz function space if
where \(b_B=|B|^{-1}\int _Bb(y)dy, \) and the supremum is taken over all balls \(B\subseteq {\mathbb {R}}^n.\)
The Banach space of such functions modulo constants is denoted by \( Lip_{\beta ,p}(\omega ).\) The smallest bound C satisfying conditions above is then taken to be the norm of b denoted by \(\Vert b\Vert _{Lip_{_{\beta ,p}}(\omega )}.\) Obviously, for the case \(\omega =1\), the \(Lip_{_{\beta ,p}}(\omega )\) space is the classical \(Lip_\beta ({\mathbb {R}}^n)\) space. Put \( Lip_{\beta }(\omega )= Lip_{\beta ,1}(\omega ).\) Let \(\omega \in A_1\). Garcia-Cuerva (1979) proved that the spaces \(Lip_{\beta ,p}(\omega )\) coincide, and the norms \(\Vert b\Vert _{Lip_{_{\beta ,p}}(\omega )}\) are equivalent with respect to different values of p provided that \(1\le p<\infty .\) Since we always discuss under the assumption \(\omega \in A_1\) in the following, then we denote the norm of \(Lip_{\beta ,p}(\omega )\) by \(\Vert \cdot \Vert _{Lip_{\beta }(\omega )}\) for \(1\le p<\infty .\)
The sharp estimates for \(T^b\)
To prove our main result, we first prove the following the sharp estimates for \(T^b\).
Theorem 2
Suppose that \(T^b\) is a Toeplitz type operator associated to generalized Calderón–Zygmund operator and fractional integral operator \(I_\alpha \), and \(b\in Lip_{\beta }(\omega )(0<\beta <1)\). Let \(1<p<r_0<n/\beta ,\mu =\omega ^{r_0/p}\in A_1,r_\omega>\gamma ',t>\frac{(r_\omega -1)\gamma '}{r_\omega -\gamma '}\) and \(\{jC_j\}\in l^1.\) If \(T^1(f)=0\) for any \(f\in L^{p}(\omega ),\) then there exists a constant \(C>0\) such that
holds for any \(0<\delta <1.\)
Proof
For any ball \(B=B(x_0,r_B)\) which contains x. Without loss generality, we may assume \(T_1\) is a generalized Calderón–Zygmund operator. We write, by \(T^1(f)=0,\)
where
and
Since \(0<\delta <1,\) then
We are going to estimate each terms, respectively. From Chang et al. (2007), we know that \(T_1\) is bounded from \(L^1\) to \(WL^1 ,\) then by Kolmogorov’s inequality and Hölder’s inequality we get
Since \(\mu =\omega ^{r_0/p}\in A_1,\) and \(r_0>p,\) then
Thus
Note that
Since \(1/r_0>\beta /n,0<\alpha <n,\) we have \(1-\alpha \beta r_0/n^2>0.\) Then by \(\omega \in A_1,\) (5) and (6) we get
Hence
Since \(T_3=\pm I,\) by Lemma 3 and Hölder’s inequality, we have
By the definition of generalized Calderón–Zygmund operator, we get,
From Hölder’s inequality we get
For \(r_\omega>\gamma '>1,\) we have \(t>\frac{(r_\omega -1)\gamma '}{r_\omega -\gamma '}>\gamma ',\) then there exists \(1<l<\infty \) such that \(1/\gamma +1/l+1/t=1.\) By Hölder’s inequality for \(\gamma ,l,\) and t, and (3) of Definition 1 we get
Note that
then
Since \(t>\frac{(r_\omega -1)\gamma '}{r_\omega -\gamma '},\) we have \(r_\omega >\frac{(t-1)\gamma '}{t-\gamma '}.\) By \(r_\omega =\sup \{s>1:\omega \in RH_s\},\) there is a s such that \(s>\frac{(t-1)\gamma '}{t-\gamma '}>\gamma '>1.\) Let \(p_0=\frac{s-1}{\frac{(t-1)\gamma '}{t-\gamma '}-1},\) then \(1<p_0<\infty .\) By \(\frac{1}{\gamma }+\frac{1}{l}+\frac{1}{t}=1\) we have \(\frac{l}{t'}=\frac{(t-1)\gamma '}{t-\gamma '}.\) Then \(p_0=\frac{s-1}{\frac{l}{t'}-1},\) it is \(s=\frac{lp_0}{t'}-\frac{p_0}{p'_0}.\) Applying Hölder’s inequality for \(p_0\) and \(p'_0\) we get
Then by (4) and \(\omega \in RH_s\)
Note that \({(1-s)}/{(p_0l)}-{1}/{\gamma '}=-1\) and \({1}/{t}+{1}/{(p'_0l)}+{s}/{(p_0l)}=1.\) Then, by (6) we get
Let’s estimate \(M_{32}.\) By (6), when \(k\le j\) we have
Then
Hence, by Hölder’s inequality, (8) and (9), we can get
Then
Finally, we estimate \(M_4.\) For any \(y\in B,\) and \(z\in (2B)^c,\) we have \(|y-z|\sim |x_0-z|.\) Then,
Since
then
By Hölder’s inequality,
Then
Combining the estimates for \(M_1,M_2,M_3\) and \(M_4,\) the proof of Theorem 2 is completed. \(\square \)
Proof of Theorem 1
Proof
It follows from \(r_\omega >\frac{(q-1)\gamma '}{q-\gamma '}\) that \(q>\frac{(r_\omega -1)\gamma '}{r_\omega -\gamma '},\) then there exists t such that \(q>t>\frac{(r_\omega -1)\gamma '}{r_\omega -\gamma '}.\) Let \(1/q=1/r_0-\beta /n,\) and \( 1/r_0=1/p-\alpha /n.\) Then
and
Since \(\omega ^{q/p}\in A_1,\) then \(\mu =\omega ^{r_0/p}\in A_1,\) and \(\omega \in A_1.\) By (1) we have \(\omega ^{1/p}\in A_{p,r_0}\) and \(\omega ^{1/p}\in A_{p,q}.\) Thus, by Lemma 2, Theorem 2, Lemma 4 and the boundedness of \(T_2, T_4\) on \(L^p(\omega ),\) we have
This finishes the proof of Theorem 1. \(\square \)
Conclusion
In the present paper, we have established the sharp maximal function estimates for a class of Toeplitz type operator and we have obtained the weighted norm inequalities related to the operators on weighted Lebesgue space. We believe that these results are object of interest for a lots of scientists that study regularity of solutions of partial differential equations.
