Introduction Let ψR be a function on Rn which satisfies the following properties: (1) ψ(x)dx = 0, (2) |ψ(x)| ≤ C(1 + |x|)−(n+1) , (3) |ψ(x + y) − ψ(x)| ≤ C|y|(1 + |x|)−(n+2) when 2|y| < |x|; Let m be a positive integer and let A be a function on Rn . We denote n+1 Γ(x) = {(y, t) ∈ R+ : |x − y| < t}. The multilinear Littlewood-Paley operator is defined by SψA (f )(x) = 1/2 Z |FtA (f )(x, y)|2 dydt tn+1 , Γ(x) where Z FtA (f )(x, y) = Rn f (z)ψt (y − z) Rm+1 (A; x, z)dz, |x − z|m Rm+1 (A; x, y) = A(x) − X 1 Dα A(y)(x − y)α , α! |α|≤m and ψt (x) = t−n ψ(x/t) for t > 0. We also define that Sψ (f )(x) = 1/2 Z |f ∗ ψt (y)|2 dydt tn+1 , Γ(x) which is the Littlewood-Paley operator (see [15]). http://www.viam.hepi.edu.ge/others/ticmi/blt/vol7/aliu.pdf 4 Bulletin of TICMI It is well known that multilinear operators are of great interest in harmonic analysis and have been widely studied by many authors (see [2-6]). The main purpose of this paper is to consider the continuity of the multilinear LittlewoodPaley operators on certain Hardy and Herz-Hardy spaces. Let us first introduce some definitions (see [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12]). Definition 1. Let A be a function on Rn and let m be a positive integer and 0 < p ≤ 1. A bounded measurable function a on Rn is said to be a (p, Dm A) atom if i) suppa ⊂ B = B(x0 , r), −1/p ii) ||a|| R L∞ ≤ |B|R , α iii) a(y)dy = a(y)D A(y)dy = 0, |α| = m; p n A temperate distribution f is said to belong to HD m A (R ), if, in the Schwartz distributional sense, it can be written as f (x) = ∞ X λj aj (x), j=0 where aj ’s are (p, Dm A) atoms, λj ∈ C and ³P ´1/p ∞ p ||f ||HDp m A ∼ |λ | . j j=0 P∞ j=0 |λj |p < ∞. Moreover, Let Bk = {x ∈ Rn : |x| ≤ 2k }, Ck = Bk \ Bk−1 , k ∈ Z, mk (λ, f ) = |{x ∈ Ck : |f (x)| > λ}|; for k ∈ N , let m̃k (λ, f ) = mk (λ, f ) and m̃0 (λ, f ) = |{x ∈ B0 : |f (x)| > λ}|. Definition 2. Let 0 < p, q < ∞, α ∈ R. (1) The homogeneous Herz space is defined by K̇qα,p = {f ∈ Lqloc (Rn \ {0}) : ||f ||K̇qα,p (Rn ) < ∞}, where " ||f ||K̇qα,p = ∞ X #1/p 2kαp ||f χk ||pLq ; k=−∞ (2) The nonhomogeneous Herz space is defined by Kqα,p (Rn ) = {f ∈ Lqloc (Rn ) : ||f ||Kqα,p (Rn ) < ∞}, where " ||f ||Kqα,p = ∞ X #1/p 2kαp ||f χk ||pLq + ||f χB0 ||pLq . k=1 Definition 3. Let m be a positive integer and let A be a function on Rn , α ∈ R, 0 < p < ∞, 1 < q ≤ ∞, A function a(x) on Rn is called a central (α, q, Dm A)-atom (or a central (a, q, Dm A)-atom of restrict type), if 1) suppa ⊂ B(0, r) for some r > 0 (or for some r ≥ 1), 2) ||a||Lq ≤ |B(0, r)|−α/n , http://www.viam.hepi.edu.ge/others/ticmi/blt/vol7/aliu.pdf Volume 7, 2003 5 R R 3) a(x)dx = a(x)Dβ A(x)dx = 0, |β| = m; α,p α,p n n A temperate distribution fP is said to belong to HP K̇q,D m A (R ) (or HKq,D m A (R )), ∞ 0 n if it can be written as f = ∞ j=−∞ λj aj (or f = j=0 λj aj ) in the S (R ) sense, m where aj is a central (α, q, Dm A)-atomP(or a central (α, q, DP A)-atom of re∞ j p p strict type) supported on B(0, 2 ) and j=−∞ |λj | < ∞ (or ∞ j=0 |λj | < ∞), ´1/p ³P p α,p |λ | . moreover, ||f ||H K̇ α,p m (or ||f ||HKq,D ) ∼ j j mA q,D A Now we can state our main theorems. Theorem 1. Let 1 ≥ p > n/(n + 1),Dβ A ∈ BM O(Rn ) for |β| = m. Then p n p n A Sψ is bounded from HD m A (R ) to L (R ). Theorem 2. Let 0 < p < ∞, 1 < q < ∞, n(1 − 1/q) ≤ α < n(1 − 1/q) + 1 α,p n and Dβ A ∈ BM O(Rn ) for |β| = m. Then SψA is bounded from H K̇q,D m A (R ) to K̇qα,p (Rn ). Theorem 3. Let Dβ A ∈ BM O(Rn ) for |β| = m and 0 < p ≤ 1 ≤ q < ∞, α,p n α = n(1 − 1/q) + 1. Then, for any λ > 0 and f ∈ HKq,D m A (R ), we have #1/p "∞ X 2kαp m̃k (λ, SψA (f ))p/q k=0 ³ ´ + −1 α,p α,p ≤ Cλ−1 ||f ||HKq,D 1 + log (λ ||f || ) . n n HKq,Dm A (R ) m A (R ) Remark. Note that when m = 0, SψA is just the commutator of LittlewoodPaley operator (see [1]). Theorem 1-3 are an extension of the results in [1]. 2. Proof of Theorems We begin with some preliminary lemmas. Lemma 1.[4] Let A be a function on Rn and Dα A ∈ Lq (Rn ) for |α| = m and some q > n. Then 1/q Z X 1 |Rm (A; x, y)| ≤ C|x − y|m |Dα A(z)|q dz , |Q̃(x, y)| |α|=m Q̃(x,y) √ where Q̃(x, y) is the cube centered at x and having side length 5 n|x − y|. Lemma 2. Let 1 < p < ∞ and Dα A ∈ Lr (Rn ), |α| = m, 1 < r ≤ ∞, 1/q = 1/p + 1/r. Then SψA is bounded from Lp (Rn ) to Lq (Rn ), that is X ||Dα A||Lr ||f ||Lp . ||SψA (f )||Lq ≤ C |α|=m Proof. By Minkowski inequality and the condition of ψ, we have 1/2 Z Z |f (z)| |Rm+1 (A; x, z)| 2 dydt |ψ (y − z)| SψA (f )(x) ≤ dz t |x − z|m t1+n Rn Γ(x) http://www.viam.hepi.edu.ge/others/ticmi/blt/vol7/aliu.pdf 6 Bulletin of TICMI Z ≤ C Rn Z ≤ C Rn Z ≤ C Rn |f (z)||Rm+1 (A; x, z)| |x − z|m |f (z)||Rm+1 (A; x, z)| |x − z|m |f (z)||Rm+1 (A; x, z)| |x − z|m Z∞ Z 1/2 t−2n dydt 2n+4 (1 + |y − z|/t) t1+n 0 |x−y|≤t Z∞ Z 1/2 −2n dydt t (1 + |y − z|/t)2n+4 tn+1 0 |x−y|≤t Z∞ Z dz dz, 1/2 22n+4 · t1−n dydt 2n+2 (2t + |y − z|) dz, 0 |x−y|≤t noting that 2t + |y − z| ≥ 2t + |x − z| − |x − y| ≥ t + |x − z| when |x − y| ≤ t and Z∞ tdt = C|x − z|−2n , 2n+2 (t + |x − z|) 0 we obtain Z SψA (f )(x) ≤ C Rn Z = C Rn |f (z)| |Rm+1 (A; x, z)| |x − z|m Z∞ 1/2 tdt (t + |x − z|)2n+2 dz 0 |f (z)| |Rm+1 (A; x, z)|dz, |x − z|m+n thus, the lemma follows from [5] and [6]. Now let us turn to the proof of Theorems in this paper. Proof of Theorem 1. It suffices to show that there exists a constant c > 0 such that for every (p, Dm A) atom a, ||SψA (a)||Lp ≤ C. Let a be a (p, Dm A) atom supported on a ball B = B(x0 , r). We write Z Z Z A p A p [Sψ (a)(x)] dx = [Sψ (a)(x)] dx + [SψA (a)(x)]p dx = I + II. Rn |x−x0 |>2r |x−x0 |≤2r For I, taking q > 1, by Hölder’s inequality and the Lq -boundedness of SψA (see Lemma 2), we see that I ≤ C||SψA (a)||pLq · |B(x0 , 2r)|1−p/q ≤ C||a||pLq |B|1−p/q ≤ C. To obtain the estimate of II, we need to estimate SψA (a)(x) for x ∈ (2B)c . Let P 1 α √ (D A)B̃ · xα , where (A)B are the mean B̃ = 5 nB and Ã(x) = A(x) − α! |α|=m http://www.viam.hepi.edu.ge/others/ticmi/blt/vol7/aliu.pdf Volume 7, 2003 7 values of A on B. Then Rm (A; x, y) = Rm (Ã; x, y). We write, by the vanishing moment of a, Z · FtA (a)(x, y) = B ¸ ψt (y − z) ψt (y − x0 ) − Rm (Ã; x, z)a(z)dz |x − z|m |y − x0 |m Z ψt (y − x0 ) [Rm (Ã; x, z) − Rm (Ã; x, x0 )]a(y)dy |y − x0 |m B X 1 Z ψt (y − z)(x − z)α (Dα A(z) − (Dα A)B )a(z)dz, − m α! |x − z| + |α|=m B thus, SψA (a)(x) Z Z ≤ Γ(x) + B Z Z Γ(x) B 1/2 2 ¯ ¯ ¯ ψt (y − z) ψt (y − x0 ) ¯ ¯ ¯ |Rm (Ã; x, z)||a(z)|dz dydt − ¯ |x − z|m |x − x0 |m ¯ tn+1 2 1/2 dydt |ψt (y − x0 )| |Rm (Ã; x, z) − Rm (Ã; x, x0 )||a(z)|dz n+1 m |x − x0 | t 1/2 ¯ ¯2 ¯ Z ¯X Z ¯ ¯ dydt ψt (y − z)(x − z)α α 1 α ¯ ¯ + (D A(z) − (D A) )a(z)dz B ¯ ¯ tn+1 m α! |x − z| ¯ ¯ Γ(x) |α|=m B ≡ II1 + II2 + II3 .
