Abstract
In this paper, we establish the weighted sharp maximal function inequalities for the multilinear singular integral operators. As an application, we obtain the boundedness of the multilinear operators on weighted Lebesgue and Morrey spaces.

1 Introduction
As the development of singular integral operators (see [1–3]), their commutators operators have been well studied. In [4–6], the authors prove that the commutators generated by the singular integral operators and BMO functions are bounded on for . Chanillo (see [7]) proves a similar result when singular integral operators are replaced by the fractional integral operators. In [8, 9], the boundedness for the commutators generated by the singular integral operators and Lipschitz functions on Triebel-Lizorkin and () spaces are obtained. In [10, 11], the boundedness for the commutators generated by the singular integral operators and the weighted BMO and Lipschitz functions on () spaces are obtained (also see [12, 13]). In [14–17], the authors studied some multilinear singular integral operators as follows (also see [18, 19]):
and they obtained some variant sharp function estimates and boundedness of the multilinear operators if for all α with . In this paper, we will study the multilinear operator generated by the singular integral operator and the weighted Lipschitz and BMO functions, that is, or for all α with .

If , , then , which is the classical Morrey spaces (see [21, 22]). If , then , which is the weighted Lebesgue spaces (see [1]).
As the Morrey space may be considered as an extension of the Lebesgue space, it is natural and important to study the boundedness of the operator on the Morrey spaces (see [9, 23–28]).
In this paper, we will study the singular integral operators as follows (see [5]).

Moreover, let m be the positive integer and b be the function on . Set
The multilinear operator related to the operator T is defined by
Note that the classical Calderón-Zygmund singular integral operator satisfies the conditions of Definition 2 (see [1, 4]) and that the commutator is a particular operator of the multilinear operator if . The multilinear operator are the non-trivial generalizations of the commutator. It is well known that commutators and multilinear operators are of great interest in harmonic analysis and have been widely studied by many authors (see [5, 6, 19]). The main purpose of this paper is to prove the sharp maximal inequalities for the multilinear operator . As the application, we obtain the weighted -norm inequality and Morrey space boundedness for the multilinear operator .
