Boundedness of sublinear operators and their commutators on generalized central Morrey spaces
Journal of Inequalities and Applications volume 2013, Article number: 411 (2013)
Abstract
In this paper, we introduce the generalized central Morrey spaces and get the boundedness of a large class of rough operators on them. We also consider the CBMO estimates of their commutators on generalized central Morrey spaces. As applications, we obtain the boundedness characterizations of rough Hardy-Littlewood maximal function, rough Calderón-Zygmund singular integral, rough fractional integral, etc. on generalized central Morrey spaces.

1 Introduction
Let be homogeneous of degree zero on , where denotes the unit sphere of and . We define for any . Suppose that represents a sublinear operator, which satisfies that for any with compact support and ,
where is an absolute constant. Similarly, for any , we assume that represents a sublinear operator, which satisfies that
for any with compact support and .
Let T be a linear operator. For a locally integrable function b on , we define the commutator by
for any suitable function f.
To study the local behavior of solutions to second-order elliptic partial differential equations, Morrey [1] introduced the classical Morrey spaces . The readers can find more details in [2].
Let and . denotes a ball centered at of radius t. Morrey spaces are defined by

When , and ; when , .
Many authors have studied the mapping properties of many operators on Morrey spaces; see [3–5] and [6]. Alvarez et al. [7], in order to study the relationship between central BMO spaces and Morrey spaces, introduced λ-central bounded mean oscillation spaces and central Morrey spaces.
Let and . A function belongs to the λ-central bounded mean oscillation spaces if
where . If two functions which differ by a constant are regarded as functions in the spaces , then spaces become Banach spaces. spaces become the spaces of constants when and they coincide with modulo constants when .
Let and . The central Morrey spaces are defined by
It follows that spaces are Banach spaces continuously included in spaces. spaces reduce to when , and it is true that , .
Recently, Guliyev [8] introduced the generalized Morrey spaces , where is a positive measurable function on and . For all functions , the generalized Morrey spaces are defined by
Obviously, if , .
When , Guliyev obtained the sufficient condition on and
for the boundedness of satisfying (1.1) from to in [9] and gave the condition on the pair of
for the boundedness of satisfying (1.2) from to in [10], where .
Inspired by the above, we consider the boundedness of sublinear operators on the following generalized central Morrey spaces and give the λ-central bounded mean oscillation estimates for linear operator commutators.
Definition 1.1 Let be a positive measurable function on and . We denote by the generalized central Morrey spaces, the spaces of all with finite quasinorm
We can recover the spaces under the choice .
Recall that in 1994 the doctoral thesis [11] by Guliyev (see also [12–15]) introduced the local Morrey-type space given by
where ω is a positive measurable function defined on . The main purpose of [11] (also of [12–15]) is to give some sufficient conditions for the boundedness of fractional integral operators and singular integral operators defined on homogeneous Lie groups in the local Morrey-type space . In a series of papers by Burenkov, H Guliyev and V Guliyev, etc. (see [16–21]), some necessary and sufficient conditions for the boundedness of fractional maximal operators, fractional integral operators and singular integral operators in local Morrey-type spaces were given.
Particularly, if , , then the generalized central Morrey spaces are the same spaces as the local Morrey spaces with .
The following statements were proved in [11] (see also [14]).
Theorem A Let and satisfy the condition
where C does not depend on r. Then the Calderón-Zygmund operator T is bounded from to .
Theorem B Let , , and satisfy the condition
where C does not depend on r. Then the Riesz potential is bounded from to .
From Lemmas 4.4 and 5.3 in [9] we get the following for the generalized central (local) Morrey spaces .
Theorem C Let , T be a sublinear operator satisfying that for any with compact support and ,
and bounded on . Let also the pair satisfy the condition
where C does not depend on r. Then the operator T is bounded from to .
Theorem D Let , , , be a sublinear operator satisfying that for any with compact support and ,
and bounded from to . Let also the pair satisfy the condition
where C does not depend on r. Then the operator is bounded from to .

A well-known result of Coifman et al. [24] states that the commutator is bounded on for if and only if .
Since when , if we only assume , then may not be a bounded operator on . However, it has some boundedness properties on other spaces. As a matter of fact, in [25] and [26], they considered the commutators with . Here we also obtain some boundedness of the commutators with on generalized central Morrey spaces.
