Multiple singular integrals and Marcinkiewicz integrals with mixed homogeneity along surfaces
Journal of Inequalities and Applications volume 2012, Article number: 189 (2012)
Abstract
This paper is devoted to studying the singular integrals and Marcinkiewicz integrals with mixed homogeneity along surfaces, which contain many classical surfaces as model examples, on the product domains (). Under rather weak size conditions of the kernels, the -boundedness for such operators is established. These results essentially extend certain previous results.

1 Introduction
Let (), , be the d-dimensional Euclidean space and be the unit sphere in equipped with the induced Lebesgue measure . Let be fixed real numbers, (). Define the function by , . It is clear that for each fixed , the function is a decreasing function in . We let denote the unique solution of the equation . Fabes and Riviére [13] showed that is a metric space, which is often called the mixed homogeneity space related to . For , we let be the diagonal matrix . Let , we denote by for , where .
Let , . It is easy to check that
The change of variables related to the spaces is given by the transformation
Thus , where is the Jacobian of the above transform and , . Obviously, and there exists such that
Let and satisfy the following conditions:
Define the parabolic singular integral operator T by
As is well known, a singular integral operator of the type (1.1) originally arose from the study on the existence and regularity results of the heat equation and the more general parabolic differential operator with constant coefficients. In 1966, Fabes and Riviére [13] showed that T is bounded on for if . Subsequently, Nagel, Riviére and Wainger [18] weakened the regularity condition on Ω to the case . Recently, Chen, Ding and Fan [5] extended further the condition to the case .
In this paper, we will continue the research along this line. We will focus our attention on the multiple singular integrals with mixed homogeneity. Assume that and satisfies the following conditions:
We consider the multiple singular integral with mixed homogeneity defined by
In 2011, Chen and Le [8] showed that if , then is bounded on for . On the other hand, in the special case (; ), is the classical multiple singular integral, which is studied extensively by many authors (see [2, 10, 12, 14, 15, 19, 25, 27, 28] for examples). In particular, Ying [28] (also see [27] for a more general case) proved that is bounded on for and provided that Ω satisfies the following condition:
where
It should be pointed out that the condition (1.5) for one parameter case was originally defined in Walsh’s paper [22] and developed by Grafakos and Stefanov [16]. For the sake of simplicity, we denote that for ,
Employing the ideas in [16], one easily verifies that for , and
Based on the above, a natural question is as follows.
Question 1.1 For the general case () and (), is bounded on under the condition (1.5) for some ?
One of the main purposes of this paper is to give a positive answer to the above question. The method we use allows us to treat a family of operators broader than those given by (1.4). To be precise, for suitable functions and two real polynomial on with and for , where is the degree of (), we define the multiple singular integral operator along surfaces by
where
Obviously, is the special case of for (). Also, in the special case (; ),
Moreover, for the special case and (; ),
Wu and Yang [27] proved that if with , then is bounded on for . In this paper, we will extend the result above as follows.
Theorem 1.1 Let and be two real polynomials on with and for , where is the degree of (), and let , where is the set of functions ϕ satisfying the following properties:
-
(i)
is continuous strictly increasing and satisfying that is monotonous;
-
(ii)
there exist constants such that and for all .
Suppose that Ω satisfies (1.2)-(1.3) and for some . Then defined as in (1.7) is bounded on for . The bound is independent of the coefficients of (), but depends on φ, ψ, , , m, n and β.
Remark 1.1 For any , there exists a constant such that for all . To see this, by the mean-valued theorem, for any , there exists such that . The properties (i) and (ii) of ϕ imply that
Taking , this is the desired constant.
Remark 1.2 We remark that the model examples for functions are (), , and real-valued polynomials P on with positive coefficients and (see [3]). Theorem 1.1 extends the result of [27], which is the multiple-parameter generalization of the result in [11, 16], to the mixed homogeneity setting, even in the special case . Also, by (1.6), Theorem 1.1 is distinct from the result of [8], even in the special case .
On the other hand, we also consider the multiple Marcinkiewicz integral operator along the surfaces defined by
where
and .
When , (; ), we denote by , which is the classical Marcinkiewicz integral on the product domains and is studied extensively by many authors (see [1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 17, 23–26]et al.). In particular, Al-Qassem, Al-Salman, Cheng and Pan [1] showed that if , then is bounded on for ; Hu, Lu and Yan [17] (also see [23, 26]) proved that if for , then is bounded on for . For the general operator , when () and , Al-Salman [3] showed that is bounded on for provided that .
A natural question which arises from the above is the following:
Question 1.2 Under the condition (1.5) with , is also bounded on for ?
This question will be addressed by our next theorem.
Theorem 1.2 Let (), φ, ψ be as in Theorem 1.1. Suppose for some and satisfies (1.2)-(1.3). Then defined as (1.9) is bounded on for . The bound is independent of the coefficients of () but depends on φ, ψ, , , m, n and β.
Remark 1.3 Theorem 1.2 extends the result of [17] to the mixed homogeneity setting, even for the special case . And by (1.6), Theorem 1.2 is distinct from the result of [3], even in the special case .
The rest of this paper is organized as follows. After recalling some notation and establishing some preliminary lemmas, we will prove Theorem 1.1 in Section 2. And the proof of Theorem 1.2 will be given in Section 3. We remark that our some ideas in the proofs of our main results are taken from [3, 9, 11, 17], but our methods and technique are more delicate and complex than those used in [3, 9, 11, 17].
Throughout this paper, the letter C or c, sometimes with additional parameters, will stand for positive constants, not necessarily the same at each occurrence but independent of the essential variables.

Proof We write , . Then
Thus, it is easy to see that
Notice that
Invoking Lemma 2.6, we get (2.13). On the other hand, since
by (2.17) and (2.20), we have
Then (2.14) follows from (2.6)-(2.7) with (2.19). Similarly, we get (2.15). Finally, (2.16) follows from (2.8), (2.17), (2.20) and (2.21). This completes the proof of Lemma 2.7. □
By Lemma 2.3 and the definition of , it is easy to verify the following lemma.
Lemma 2.8 Let be as in Lemma 2.3. Then for and , we have
