Journal of Inequalities and Applications volume 2021, Article number: 168 (2021)
Abstract
In this paper, first we prove some new refinements of discrete weighted inequalities with negative powers on finite intervals. Next, by employing these inequalities, we prove that the self-improving property (backward propagation property) of the weighted discrete Muckenhoupt classes holds. The main results give exact values of the limit exponents as well as the new constants of the new classes. As an application, we establish the self-improving property (forward propagation property) of the discrete Gehring class.
1 Introduction
The study of regularity and boundedness of the discrete operators on \(\ell ^{p}\) and higher summability of sequences was considered in the literature; see for example [2, 19–21, 28, 29] and the references cited therein. We also refer the reader to the papers [5–8, 28, 29, 33–35] for more results in the discrete spaces. In this paper, we confine ourselves to proving the self-improving property of the weighted discrete Muckenhoupt classes and then derive the self-improving property of the discrete Gehring classes. For the structure and relations between classical Muckenhoupt and Gehring classes (in integral forms) and their applications, we refer the reader to [1, 3, 9–11, 13–18, 22–26], [27, 30], and [36]. Throughout the paper, we assume that \(1< p<\infty \) and \(\mathbb{I}\subseteq \mathbb{Z}_{+}\) is a fixed interval and the cardinality of a set \(J\subset \mathbb{I}\) will be denoted by \(\vert J \vert \). A discrete weight v defined on \(\mathbb{Z}_{+}=\{1,2,\ldots \}\) is a sequence \(v=\{v(n)\}_{n=1}^{\infty }\) of nonnegative real numbers. A sequence of positive real numbers λ will be considered the weight in the space \(\ell _{\lambda }^{p}(\mathbb{Z}_{+})\) and the norm will be considered as
A discrete nonnegative weight v belongs to the discrete Muckenhoupt class \(\mathcal{A}^{p}(A)\) on the interval \(\mathbb{I}\subseteq \mathbb{Z}_{+}\) for \(p>1\) and \(A>1\) if the inequality
holds for every subinterval interval \(J\subset \mathbb{I}\). For a given exponent \(p>1\), we define the \(\mathcal{A}^{p}\)-norm of the discrete weight v by the following quantity:
where the supremum is taken over all intervals \(J\subset \mathbb{I}\). By fixing a constant \(A>1\), the pair of real numbers \((p,A)\) defines a discrete Muckenhoupt class \(\mathcal{A}^{p}(A)\) as follows:
and we will refer to A as the \(\mathcal{A}^{p}\)-constant of the class. Note that from Hölder’s inequality \([ v ] _{\mathcal{A}^{p}}\geq 1\) holds for all \(1< p<\infty \) and the following inclusion is true:
In [32], the authors proved that \(v\in \mathcal{A}^{p}\), \(1< p<\infty \) if and only if \(v^{-\frac{1}{p-1}}\in \mathcal{A}^{p^{\prime }} \), where \(p^{{\prime }}\) is the conjugate of p, and if \(v\in \mathcal{A}^{p}\) (\(1< p<\infty \)), then \(v\in \mathcal{A}^{q}\) for every \(q>p\) and that \(v^{\alpha }\in \mathcal{A}^{p}\) for any \(0<\alpha <1\). Böttcher and Seybold [4] proved that if \(v\in \mathcal{A}^{p}\) then there is \(\varepsilon =\varepsilon _{p,v}\) such that \(v^{r}\in \mathcal{A}^{p}\) for all \(r\in (1-\varepsilon ,1+\varepsilon )\). Böttcher and Seybold also proved the self-improving property for the discrete class \(\mathcal{A}^{p}\) of weights which states that: if \(v\in \mathcal{A}^{p}(\mathcal{C})\), then there exist constants \(\delta >0\) and \(\mathcal{C}_{1}>0\) such that \(v\in \mathcal{A}^{p-\delta }(\mathcal{C}_{1})\), or equivalently
holds, without obtaining the exact values of δ and \(\mathcal{C}_{1}\).
For a given exponent \(q>1\) and a constant \(\mathcal{K}>1\), a discrete nonnegative weight v belongs to the discrete Gehring class \(\mathcal{G}^{q}(\mathcal{K)}\) (or satisfies a reverse Hölder inequality) on the interval \(\mathbb{I\subset Z}_{+}\) if for every subinterval \(J\subseteq \mathbb{I}\) we have
For a given exponent \(q>1\), we define the \(\mathcal{G}^{q}\)-norm of v as
where the supremum is taken over all intervals \(J\subset \mathbb{I}\) and represents the best constant for which the \(\mathcal{G}^{q}\)-condition holds true independently on the interval \(J\subseteq \mathbb{I}\). We say that v is a discrete Gehring class \(\mathcal{G}^{q}\)-weight if its \(\mathcal{G}^{q}\)-norm is finite, i.e.,
Note that by Hölder’s inequality, \([ v ] _{\mathcal{G}^{q}}\geq 1\) holds for all \(1< q<\infty \) and the following inclusion is true:
In [4], Böttcher and Seybold proved that if \(v\in \mathcal{A}^{p}(\mathcal{C})\), then there exist constants \(\delta >0\) and \(\mathcal{K}_{1}<\infty \) depending only on p and v such that
for all \(\varepsilon \in {}[ 0,\delta ]\) and all J of the form \(\vert J \vert =2^{r}\) with \(r\in \mathbb{N}\) (the set of natural numbers). Note that inequality (1.7) is the reverse of the Hölder inequality
so the result of Böttcher and Seybold is: if \(v\in \mathcal{A}^{p}(\mathcal{C})\), then \(v\in \mathcal{G}^{q}(\mathcal{C}_{1})\), and then
This shows that every Muckenhoupt weight belongs to some Gehring class (a transition property). A discrete nonnegative weight v belongs to the discrete Muckenhoupt class \(\mathcal{A}^{1}(A)\) on a fixed interval \(\mathbb{I\subset Z}_{+}\) for \(p>1\) and \(A>1\) if the inequality
holds for every subinterval \(J\subset \mathbb{I}\) and \(\vert J \vert \) is the cardinality of the set J. In [29], the authors proved that if v is a nonnegative, nonincreasing sequence satisfying (1.9) for \(A>1\), then the inequality
holds for \(p\in {}[ 1,A/(A-1))\), where \(A_{1}=\eta ^{p}A/(A-p(A-1))\). From (1.10), we see that if \(v\in \mathcal{A}^{1}(A)\), then \(v\in \mathcal{G}^{p}(A_{1})\), and so
That is, every Muckenhoupt \(\mathcal{A}^{1}\)-weight belongs to some Gehring class (a transition property). Later, in [31], the authors improved these results by giving sharp explicit values of the exponents p and \(A_{1}\).
Now, we give the definition of the weighted Muckenhoupt class \(A_{\lambda }^{p}(\mathcal{C})\), with a weight λ, that will be considered in this paper. A nonnegative discrete weight v defined on a a fixed interval \(\mathbb{I}\) is called an \(A_{\lambda }^{p}(\mathcal{C})\)-Muckenhoupt weight for \(p>1\) if there exists a constant \(\mathcal{C}<\infty \) such that
for every subinterval \(J\subset \mathbb{I}\), where \(\Lambda (J)=\sum_{k\in J}\lambda (k)\). The smallest constant \(\mathcal{C}\) satisfying (1.12) is called the \(\mathcal{A}_{\lambda }^{p}\)-norm of the weight v and is denoted by \([ v ] _{\mathcal{A}_{\lambda }^{p}}\). For a given fixed constant \(\mathcal{C}>1\) if the weight v belongs to \(\mathcal{A}_{\lambda }^{p}(\mathcal{C})\), then \([ v ] _{\mathcal{A}_{\lambda }^{p}}\leq \mathcal{C}\). Note that from Hölder’s inequality \([ v ] _{\mathcal{A}_{\lambda }^{p}}\geq 1\) for all \(1< p<\infty \) and the following inclusion is true:
Our aim in this paper is to first prove some new refinements of discrete weighted inequalities with negative powers on finite intervals, then we use these inequalities to prove that the self-improving property (backward propagation property) of the weighted discrete Muckenhoupt classes holds. In particular, we prove that if \(v\in \mathcal{A}_{\lambda }^{p}(\mathcal{C})\), then there exist constants δ, \(\mathcal{C}_{1}>0\) such that \(v\in \mathcal{A}_{\lambda }^{p-\delta }(\mathcal{C}_{1})\). As an application, we deduce the self-improving property of the discrete Gehring class, i.e., we prove that if \(v\in \mathcal{G}^{p}(\mathcal{K})\), then there exist constants ϵ, \(\mathcal{K}_{1}>0\) such that \(v\in \mathcal{G}^{{p+\epsilon }}(\mathcal{K}_{1})\). The technique used in this paper allows us to get exact values of the exponents (δ and ϵ) and also exact values of the constants \(\mathcal{C}_{1}\) and \(\mathcal{K}_{1}\). These values correspond to the sharp values obtained by Nikolidakis (see [26] and [25]) in the continuous case.
The paper is organized as follows: In Sect. 2, we prove some fundamental inequalities of Hardy’s type with negative powers that will be needed in the proof of the main results. In Sect. 3, we prove the main results and show how to obtain the self-improving property of the discrete Gehring class by using the discrete weighted Muckenhoupt class.
2 Main inequalities
In this section, we prove some fundamental inequalities that shall be used in the proof of the main results. Throughout the paper, we assume that the weights in study are nonnegative sequences defined and use the conventions \(0\cdot \infty =0\) and \(0/0=0\) and \(\sum_{k=m}^{b}y(k)=0\), whenever \(m>b\). We fix an interval \(J\subset \mathbb{Z}_{+}\) and consider subintervals J of the form \(\{1,2,\ldots,N\}\) for \(1< N\leq \infty \) and assume that λ is a positive sequence defined on J. The classical Hölder inequality asserts that
where u and v are real sequences defined on J, \(p>1\) and \(\frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{q}=1\). The summation by parts formula reads
where Δ is the forward difference operator defined by \(\Delta u(n)=u(n+1)-u(n)\). For any sequence \(v:J\rightarrow \mathbb{R}^{+}\) (a nonnegative sequence), we define the operator (weighted Hardy operator) \(\mathcal{H}_{\lambda }v:J\rightarrow \mathbb{R}^{+}\) by
where \(\Lambda (n)=\sum_{k=1}^{n}\lambda (k)\). From the definition of \(\mathcal{H}_{\lambda }v\), we see that if v is nondecreasing, then
Also, we have by using the above inequality that
From these two facts, we have the following properties of \(\mathcal{H}_{\lambda }v\).
Lemma 2.1
-
(i)
If v is nondecreasing, then \(\mathcal{H}_{\lambda }v(n)\leq v(n)\).
-
(ii)
If v is nondecreasing, then so is \(\mathcal{H}_{\lambda }v\).
Remark 2.1
As a consequence of Lemma 2.1, we notice that if v is nonnegative and nondecreasing, then \(\mathcal{H}_{\lambda }v^{q}\leq v^{q}\). We also notice from Lemma 2.1 that if v is nonnegative and nondecreasing, then \(\mathcal{H}_{\lambda }v^{q}\) is also nonnegative and nondecreasing for \(q>1\).
Also, from the definition of \(\mathcal{H}_{\lambda }\), we see that if v is nonincreasing, then
Also, we have by using the above inequality that
From these two facts, we have the following properties of \(\mathcal{H}_{\lambda }v\).
Lemma 2.2
-
(i)
If v is nonincreasing, then \(\mathcal{H}_{\lambda }v(n)\geq v(n)\).
-
(ii)
If v is nonincreasing, then so is \(\mathcal{H}_{\lambda }v\).
Remark 2.2
As a consequence of Lemma 2.2, we notice that if v is nonnegative and nonincreasing, then \(\mathcal{H}_{\lambda }v^{q}\geq v^{q}\). We also notice from Lemma 2.2 that if v is nonnegative and nonincreasing, then \(\mathcal{H}_{\lambda }v^{q}\) is also nonnegative and nonincreasing for \(q>1\).
Theorem 2.1
Assume that v is a nondecreasing weight. If \(p\geq q>0\), then for any \(n\in J\), we have that
Proof
First we consider the case when \(p=q\) and prove that the inequality
holds for \(p>0\). For brevity, we write \(\Phi (k)=\mathcal{H}_{\lambda }v(k)\). Now, by employing summation by parts with \(\Delta u(k)=\lambda (k)\), \(v(k+1)=(\Phi (k))^{-p}\), we have
and then we obtain
By applying the inequality
with \(\gamma =-p<0\), \(y=\Phi (k)\) and \(z=\Phi (k-1)\), and taking into account that the nondecreasing property of v implies that \(\Phi (k)=\mathcal{H}_{\lambda }v(k)\) is also nondecreasing and then \(y\geq z\), then we have
where
By substituting (2.7) and (2.8) into (2.5), we obtain
from which we have
This implies that
which proves inequality (2.4) when \(p=q\). Now, consider the case when \(p\neq q\) and fix \(q\in ( 0,p ) \). Then, by applying Hölder’s inequality with exponents \(p/q>1\) and \(p/(p-q)\) and a weight λ and then by using (2.10), we get that
Using the substitution \(\Phi (k)=\mathcal{H}_{\lambda }v(k)\), we obtain the desired inequality (2.4). The proof is complete. □
Theorem 2.2
Assume that v is a nondecreasing weight. If \(p\geq q>0\), then
Proof
The elementary inequality (see Elliott [12]) states that
for every \(y\geq 0\) and \(p>0\), then we deduce that
from which we obtain
By employing the last inequality with \(y=y_{1}/y_{2}\), where \(y_{1}, y_{2}>0\), we get that
Let
then
By using these values in (2.13), we get that
Thus, we have
By multiplying both sides by \(\lambda (k)\) and summating from 1 to n, we have
By applying Theorem 2.1 on the last term and simplifying, (2.14) becomes
which is the desired inequality (2.11). The proof is complete. □
As a special case, when \(p=q=r\), \(r>0\), we obtain the following result.
Theorem 2.3
Assume that v is a nondecreasing weight. If \(r>0\), we get that
Theorem 2.4
Assume that v is a nondecreasing weight. If \(p\geq q>0\), then
Proof
We proceed as in the proof of Theorem 2.1 to obtain (2.9), which writes
By simplifying, we conclude that
Fix \(q\in ( 0,p ) \), by applying Hölder’s inequality with exponents \(p/q>1\) and \(p/(p-q)\) and a weight λ, and then by using inequality (2.17), we obtain
Now, in order to complete the proof, we use the inequality
which is a variant of the well-known Bernoulli inequality. This inequality is valid for all \(u\geq 0\) and \(u+v\geq 0\) or \(u>0\) and \(u+v>0\), and equality holds if and only if \(v=1\). Now, by employing (2.19) with \(\gamma =q/p<1\),
and noting that (see (2.17))
we get
By substituting the last inequality into (2.18), we obtain
from which we obtain the desired inequality (2.16). The proof is complete. □
Theorem 2.5
Assume that v is a nondecreasing weight. If \(p\geq q>0\), then
Proof
We proceed as in the proof of Theorem 2.2 to obtain
By applying Theorem 2.4, we get
and then (2.21) becomes
By combining similar terms, we obtain
which is the desired inequality (2.20). The proof is complete. □
The following lemma plays a crucial rule in establishing our main results.
Lemma 2.3
Let \(p>1\), v be nonincreasing weight on \(\mathbb{I}\), and let \(\mathcal{H}_{\lambda }v\) be defined by (2.3). If \(\gamma >1\), then
holds for all \(n\in \mathbb{I}\).
Proof
Let \(k\in \mathbb{I}\). Since \(\lambda (k)v(k)=\Delta [ \Lambda (k-1)\mathcal{H}_{\lambda }v(k-1) ] \) and \(\lambda (k)=\Delta \Lambda (k-1)\), then we have
and by using the product rule
once with \(u(k)=\Lambda (k-1)\mathcal{H}_{\lambda }v(k-1)\) and \(v(k)= ( \mathcal{H}_{\lambda }v(k-1) ) ^{\gamma -1}\) and once with \(u(k)=\Lambda (k-1)\) and \(v(k)= ( \mathcal{H}_{\lambda }v(k-1) ) ^{\gamma }\), we have that
Since v is nonincreasing, then so is \(\mathcal{H}_{\lambda }v\) (or equivalently, \(\Delta \mathcal{H}_{\lambda }v<0\)) and again by applying the product rule (2.24) with \(u(k)=\mathcal{H}_{\lambda }v(k-1)\) and \(v(k)= ( \mathcal{H}_{\lambda }v(k-1) ) ^{\gamma -1}\), we have
By using (2.25) and (2.26), we have
and by summating from \(k=1\) to n and multiplying by \(\Lambda (k)\), we obtain
This is the required result. This completes the proof. □
If we assume that v is nondecreasing and replace v with \(v^{\frac{-1}{p-1}} \) in Lemma 2.3, we obtain the following result which will be needed in proving the main results in the next section.
Lemma 2.4
Assume that v is a nondecreasing weight and \(\mathcal{H}_{\lambda }v\) is defined as in (2.3) for sequence \(\lambda (n)\) of positive numbers. If \(1<\gamma <\infty \), then for all \(n\in J\) we have
3 Main results
Now, we will state and prove the main results which deal with the self-improving property of the weighted Muckenhoupt class \(\mathcal{A}_{\lambda }^{p}\), with exact values of the constant and the limit of exponents.
Theorem 3.1
Assume that \(p>1\) and v is a nondecreasing weight and λ is a positive weight on the interval J. If \(v\in \mathcal{A}_{\lambda }^{p}(\mathcal{C)}\), then \(v\in \mathcal{A}_{\lambda }^{q}(\mathcal{C}_{1})\) for any \(q\in (q_{0},p]\), where \(q_{0}\) is the unique root of the equation
Furthermore, the constant \(\mathcal{C}_{1}\) is given by
where \(\Gamma ^{p,q}(\mathcal{C}):=1- ( \mathcal{C}q ) ^{ \frac{1}{p-1}} ( \frac{p-q}{p-1} ) >0\).
Proof
By applying Lemma 2.4 with \(\gamma = ( p-1 ) /(q-1)>1\) for \(p>q>1\), we obtain
Since \(v\in A_{\lambda }^{p}(\mathcal{C)}\), we see that
Moreover, from (3.3), we obtain
Consider the function
then
That is, ϕ is decreasing for all \(\beta >\alpha \). Now, choose
Since v is nondecreasing, we see that \(v^{\frac{-1}{p-1}}\) is nonincreasing, and then from Lemma 2.2 we have that \(\mathcal{H}_{\lambda }v^{\frac{-1}{p-1}}\geq v^{\frac{-1}{p-1}}\), which implies that \(\alpha \leq \beta \). Also, by using (3.3), we see that \(\beta \leq \zeta \). Thus, we have \(\alpha \leq \beta \leq \zeta \), and then
This implies that
that is,
From the last inequality and (3.4), we get that
This leads to
By replacing p and q with \(1/(q-1)>0\) and \(1/(p-1)>0\), respectively, in inequality (2.11), we obtain
By combining (3.5) and (3.6) and simplifying, we have
from which we obtain
Let \(\psi (x)=1-\phi (p,x)\), where
Clearly, \(\psi (p)=1>0\) and since \(-\phi (p,x)\) is a strictly increasing function for positive values of x, then the same holds for \(\psi (x)\) which will vanish for a certain value \(q_{0}< p\) given by the unique positive solution of the equation \(\phi (p,x)=1\). Then \(\psi (q_{0})=1\), and
Thus, we have \(\psi (q)>0\) for \(q\in ( q_{0},p ] \), where \(q_{0}\) is the unique root of the equation
Since v is nondecreasing, then we get (from Lemma 2.1) that
and since \(q-1< p-1\), then (3.8) gives
By using this in (3.7), we have
which implies that
That is \(v\in \mathcal{A}_{\lambda }^{q}(\mathcal{C}_{1})\). The proof is complete. □
Now, we will refine the above result by improving the constant that appears in (3.2).
Theorem 3.2
Assume that \(p>1\) and v is nondecreasing on the interval J. If \(v\in \mathcal{A}_{\lambda }^{p}(\mathcal{C)}\), then \(v\in \mathcal{A}_{\lambda }^{q}(\mathcal{C}_{2})\) for any \(q\in (q_{0},p]\), where \(q_{0}\) is the unique root of equation (3.1). Furthermore the constant \(\mathcal{C}_{2}\) is given by
where \(\Gamma ^{p,q}(\mathcal{C}):=1- ( \mathcal{C}q ) ^{ \frac{1}{p-1}} ( \frac{p-q}{p-1} ) >0\).
Proof
We proceed as in Theorem 3.1, and by replacing p and q with \(1/(q-1)\) and \(1/(p-1)\) in (2.22), we obtain
From (3.5), we have
Now, by combining (3.10) and (3.11), multiplying by \(\mathcal{C}^{\frac{1}{p-1}}\), and rearranging the terms, we have
from which we obtain
The rest of the proof is similar to the proof of Theorem 3.1 and hence is omitted. The proof is complete. □
Now, we show that the self-improving property of the weighted Muckenhoupt class \(A_{\lambda }^{p}(\mathcal{C})\) can be applied to prove the self-improving property of the Gehring class with a sharp value of the limit of exponents.
Lemma 3.1
Let us fix \(q>1\), \(\mathcal{K}>1\) and assume that v is nonincreasing on the interval J. If \(v\in \mathcal{G}^{q}(\mathcal{K})\), then \(v\in \mathcal{G}^{s}(\mathcal{K}_{1})\) for some known constant \(\mathcal{K}_{1}\) and any \(s\in {}[ q,q^{\ast })\), where the limit of the exponent \(q^{\ast }=q^{\ast }(q,\mathcal{K})\) is given by the unique positive solution of the equation
This lemma says that if a weight satisfies a reverse Hölder inequality (belongs to a Gehring class \(\mathcal{G}^{q}(\mathcal{K})\) for some exponent p, then it satisfies a reverse Hölder inequality for a slightly larger exponent q. This lemma was proved in [29]. An alternative way involves exploiting the correspondence between a weighted Muckenhoupt class and a reverse Hölder class. This in fact provides a simple proof of the self-improving property of \(G^{q}(\mathcal{K)}\) as follows: Assume that \(v\in G^{q}(\mathcal{K)}\), i.e., the condition
holds. This condition can be rewritten in the form
By taking \(p=q/ ( q-1 ) \), we have from (3.15) that
which is a weighted \(\mathcal{A}_{v}^{p}(\mathcal{K}^{p})\) condition for \(v^{-1}\) with respect to the weight v and \(q=p/(p-1)\). This shows that if \(v\in \mathcal{G}^{q}(\mathcal{K})\) then \(v^{-1}\in \mathcal{A}_{v}^{p}(\mathcal{C)}\) (which in nondecreasing) with \(\mathcal{C}=\mathcal{K}^{p}\) where \(q=p/(p-1)\). From Theorem 3.1 the inequality
holds for any \(q\in (q_{0},p]\), where \(q_{0}\) is the unique root of the equation
By using the transformation \(x\rightarrow x/(x-1)\), we then get that
i.e.,
Using the value of \(q=p/(p-1)\) and \(p=q/(q-1)\), we have that
which is (3.13).
Conclusion 1
In this paper, we were able to prove some new refinements of discrete weighted inequalities with negative powers on finite intervals, by employing which we were able to prove that the self-improving property of the weighted discrete Muckenhoupt classes holds. The main results gave exact values of the limit exponents as well as new constants of the new classes. These values correspond to the sharp values obtained by Nikolidakis (see [26] and [25]) in the continuous case. As an application, we established the self-improving property (forward propagation property) of the discrete Gehring class.
