Introduction It is well known that a complex measure µ on Rn acts as a convolution operator on the Lebesgue spaces Lp (Rn ) : µ ∗ Lp ⊂ Lp for 1 ≤ p ≤ ∞. If for some p there exists q > p such that µ ∗ Lp ⊂ Lq , µ is called Lp − improving. It is known that singular measures supported on smooth submanifolds of Rn may be Lp − improving. See, for example, [2], [5], [8], [9], [7] and [4]. Let ϕ1 , ϕ2 be two homogeneous polynomial functions on R2 of degree m ≥ 2 and let ϕ = (ϕ1 , ϕ2 ) . Let µ be the Borel measure on R4 given by Z (1.1) µ (E) = χE (x, ϕ (x)) dx, B where B denotes the closed unit ball around the origin in R2 and dx is the Lebesgue measure on R2 . Let Tµ be the convolution operator given by Tµ f = µ ∗ f, f ∈ S (R4 ) and let Eµ be the type set corresponding to the measure µ defined by 1 1 Eµ = , : kTµ kp,q < ∞, 1 ≤ p, q ≤ ∞ , p q where kTµ kp,q denotes the operator norm of Tµ from Lp (R4 ) into Lq (R4 ) and where the Lp spaces are taken with respect to the Lebesgue measure on R4 . For x, h ∈ R2 , let ϕ00 (x) h be the 2 × 2 matrix whose j − th column is 00 ϕj (x) h, where ϕ00j (x) denotes the Hessian matrix of ϕj at x. Following [3, p. 152], we say that x ∈ R2 is an elliptic point for ϕ if det (ϕ00 (x) h) 6= 0 for all h ∈ R2 \ {0} . For A ⊂ R2 , we will say that ϕ is strongly elliptic on A if det (ϕ001 (x) h, ϕ002 (y) h) 6= 0 for all x, y ∈ A and h ∈ R2 \ {0} .

Math. 2(3) Art. 37, 2001 http://jipam.vu.edu.au If every point x ∈ B\ {0} is elliptic for ϕ, it is proved in [4] that for m ≥ 3, m Eµ is the closed trapezoidal region Σm with vertices (0, 0) , (1, 1) , m+1 , m−1 m+1 2 1 and m+1 , m+1 . Our aim in this paper is to study the case where the set of non elliptic points consists of a finite union of lines through the origin, L1 , ..., Lk . We assume from now on, that for x ∈ R2 − {0}, det (ϕ00 (x) h) does not vanish identically, as a function of h. For each l = 1, 2, ..., k, let πLl and πL⊥l be the orthogonal projections from R2 onto Ll and L⊥ l respectively. For δ > 0, 1 ≤ l ≤ k, let n o Vδl = x ∈ B : 1/2 ≤ |πLl (x)| ≤ 1 and πL⊥l (x) ≤ δ |πLl (x)| . It is easy to see (see Lemma 2.1 and Remark 3.2) that for δ small enough, there exists αl ∈ N and positive constants c and c0 such that αl αl 00 0 c πL⊥l (x) ≤ inf1 |det (ϕ (x) h)| ≤ c πL⊥l (x) h∈S Vδl . for all x ∈ Following the approach developed in [3], we prove, in Theorem 3.5, that if α = max1≤l≤k αl and if 7α ≤ m + 1, then the interior of Eµ agrees with the interior of Σm . ◦ Improvement of An Ostrowski Type Inequality for Monotonic Mappings and Its Application for Some Special Means E.

In any case, even though we can not give a complete description of the interior of Eµ , we obtain a polygonal region contained in it.

For δ > 0 let 1 (2.1) Vδ = (x1 , x2 ) ∈ B : ≤ |x1 | ≤ 1 and |x2 | ≤ δ |x1 | . 2 We assume in this section that, for some δ0 > 0, the set of the non elliptic points for ϕ in Vδ0 is contained in the x1 axis. For x ∈ R2 , let P = P (x) be the symmetric matrix that realizes the quadratic form h → det (ϕ00 (x) h) , so (2.2) E. Ferreyra, T. Godoy and M. Urciuolo det (ϕ00 (x) h) = hP (x) h, hi . Lemma 2.1. There exist δ ∈ (0, δ0 ) , α ∈ N and a real analytic function g = g (x1 , x2 )on Vδ with g (x1 , 0) 6= 0 for x1 6= 0 such that (2.3) Improvement of An Ostrowski Type Inequality for Monotonic Mappings and Its Application for Some Special Means inf |det (ϕ00 (x) h)| = |x2 |α |g (x)| |h|=1 for all x ∈ Vδ . Proof. Since P (x) is real analytic on Vδ and P (x) 6= 0 for x 6= 0, it follows that, for δ small enough, there exists two real analytic functions λ1 (x) and λ2 (x) wich are the eigenvalues of P (x) . Also, inf |h|=1 |det (ϕ00 (x) h)| = min {|λ1 (x)| , |λ2 (x)|} for x ∈ Vδ . Since we have assumed that (1, 0) is not an elliptic point for ϕ and that P (x) 6= 0 for x 6= 0, diminishing δ if necessary, we can assume that λ1 (1, 0) = 0 and that |λ1 (1, x2 )| ≤ |λ2 (1, x2 )| for |x2 | ≤ δ.

Math. 2(3) Art. 37, 2001 http://jipam.vu.edu.au Since P (x) is homogeneous in x, we have that λ1 (x) and λ2 (x) are homogeneous in x with the same homogeneity degree d. Thus |λ1 (x)| ≤ |λ2 (x)| for all x ∈ Vδ . Now, λ1 (1, x2 ) = xα2 G (x2 ) for some real function G = analytical d−α G (x2 ) with G (0) 6= 0 and so λ1 (x1 , x2 ) = xd1 λ1 1, xx21 = x1 xα2 G xx21 . x2 Taking g (x1 , x2 ) = xd−α G the lemma follows. 1 x1 Following [3], for U ⊂ R2 let JU : R2 → R ∪ {∞} given by JU (h) = inf x, x+h∈U |det (ϕ0 (x + h) − ϕ0 (x))| , where the infimum of the empty set is understood to be ∞.
