BOUNDEDNESS OF MULTILINEAR OPERATORS ON TRIEBEL-LIZORKIN SPACES

LIU LANZHE Received 20 January 2003

The purpose of this paper is to study the boundedness in the context of Triebel-Lizorkin spaces for some multilinear operators related to certain convolution operators. The opera- tors include Littlewood-Paley operator, Marcinkiewicz integral, and Bochner-Riesz operator.

2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 42B20, 42B25.

1. Introduction. LetTbe a Calderon-Zygmund operator. A well-known result of Coif- man et al. [6] states that the commutator [b, T ]=T (bf )−bT f (whereb∈BMO) is bounded onL^p(Rⁿ)for 1< p <∞; Chanillo [1] proves a similar result whenT is re- placed by the fractional integral operator. In [7, 9], Janson and Paluszy´nski extend these results to the Triebel-Lizorkin spaces and the caseb∈Lipβ(where Lipβis the homogeneous Lipschitz space). The main purpose of this paper is to discuss the bound- edness of some multilinear operators related to certain convolution operators in the context of Triebel-Lizorkin spaces. In fact, we will establish the boundedness on the Triebel-Lizorkin spaces for some multilinear operators related to certain convolution operator only under certain conditions on the size of the operators. As applications, we obtain the boundedness of the multilinear operators related to the Marcinkiewicz inte- gral, Littlewood-Paley operator, and Bochner-Riesz operator in the context of Triebel- Lizorkin spaces.

2. Preliminaries. Throughout this paper, M(f ) will denote the Hardy-Littlewood maximal function off,Mpf=(M(f^p))^1/p forp >0, andQwill denote a cube ofRⁿ with sides parallel to the axes. For a cubeQ, letfQ= |Q|⁻¹

Qf (x)dxand f^#(x)= supx∈Q|Q|⁻¹

Q|f (y)−fQ|dy. For β >0 and p >1, let ˙Fp^β,∞ be the homogeneous Triebel-Lizorkin space. The Lipschitz space ˙∧βis the space of functionsfsuch that

f∧˙β= sup

x,h∈Rⁿ h≠0

∆^[β]h ⁺¹f (x)

|h|^β <∞, (2.1)

where∆^khdenotes thekth difference operator (see [9]).

The operators considered in this paper are following several sublinear operators.

Letmbe a positive integer and letAbe a function onRⁿ. We denote Rm+1(A;x, y)=A(x)−

|α|≤m

1

α!D^αA(y)(x−y)^α. (2.2)

Definition2.1. Letε >0 and letψbe a fixed function which satisfies the following properties:

(1) |ψ(x)| ≤C(1+|x|)⁻⁽ⁿ⁺¹⁾,

(2) |ψ(x+y)−ψ(x)| ≤C|y|^ε(1+|x|)^−(n+1+ε)when 2|y|<|x|. The multilinear Littlewood-Paley operator is defined by

g^A_ψ(f )(x)= _∞

0

F_t^A(f )(x)²dt t

1/2

, (2.3)

where

F_t^A(f )(x)=

Rⁿψt(x−y)Rm+1(A;x, y)

|x−y|^m f (y)dy (2.4) andψt(x)=t⁻ⁿψ(x/t)fort >0. DenoteFt(f )=ψt∗f. Also define

gψ(f )(x)=∞ 0

Ft(f )(x)²dt t

1/2

(2.5) which is the Littlewood-Paleygfunction (see [10]).

LetH be the spaceH= {h:h =(_∞

0 |h(t)|²dt/t)^1/2<∞}. Then, for each fixed x∈Rⁿ,F_t^A(f )(x)may be viewed as a mapping from[0,+∞)toH, and it is clear that

gψ(f )(x)=Ft(f )(x), g_ψ^A(f )(x)=F_t^A(f )(x). (2.6) Definition2.2. Let 0< γ≤1 and letΩ be homogeneous of degree zero onRⁿ such that

Sⁿ⁻¹Ω(x)dσ (x)=0. Assume thatΩ∈Lip_γ(Sⁿ⁻¹), that is, there exists a constantM >0 such that for anyx, y∈Sⁿ⁻¹,|Ω(x)−Ω(y)| ≤M|x−y|^γ. The multi- linear Marcinkiewicz integral operator is defined by

µ^A_Ω(f )(x)= _∞

0

F_t^A(f )(x)²dt t³

1/2

, (2.7)

where

F_t^A(f )(x)=

|x−y|≤t

Ω(x−y)

|x−y|ⁿ⁻¹

Rm+1(A;x, y)

|x−y|^m f (y)dy. (2.8) Denote

Ft(f )(x)=

|x−y|≤t

Ω(x−y)

|x−y|ⁿ⁻¹f (y)dy. (2.9) Also define

µ_Ω(f )(x)= _∞

0

Ft(f )(x)²dt t³

1/2

(2.10) which is the Marcinkiewicz integral (see [11]).

LetHbe the spaceH= {h:h =(_∞

0 |h(t)|²dt/t³)^1/2<∞}. Then, it is clear that µ_Ω(f )(x)=Ft(f )(x), µ_Ω^A(f )(x)=F_t^A(f )(x). (2.11)

Definition2.3. LetB^δ_t(f )(ξ)ˆ =(1−t²|ξ|²)^δ₊f (ξ). Denoteˆ B_δ,t^A (f )(x)=

RⁿB^δ_t(x−y)Rm+1(A;x, y)

|x−y|^m f (y)dy, (2.12) whereB^δ_t(z)=t⁻ⁿB^δ(z/t)fort >0. The maximal multilinear Bochner-Riesz operator is defined by

B_δ,∗^A (f )(x)=sup

t>0

B_δ,t^A (f )(x). (2.13)

Also define

B^δ_∗(f )(x)=sup

t>0

B^δ_t(f )(x) (2.14)

which is the Bochner-Riesz operator (see [7,8]).

LetHbe the spaceH= {h:h =sup_t>0|h(t)|<∞}, then it is clear that

B^δ_∗(f )(x)=B_t^δ(f )(x), B_δ,∗^A (f )(x)=B^A_δ,t(f )(x). (2.15) More generally, we consider the following multilinear operators related to certain convolution operators.

Definition2.4. LetK(x, t)be defined onRⁿ×[0,+∞). Denote that Ktf (x)=

RⁿK(x−y, t)f (y)dy, K_t^Af (x)=

Rⁿ

Rm+1(A;x, y)

|x−y|^m K(x−y, t)f (y)dy.

(2.16)

Let H be the normed space H= {h:h<∞}. For each fixedx ∈Rⁿ, Ktf (x) and K^A_t(f )(x)are viewed as a mapping from[0,+∞)toH. Then, the multilinear operators related toKtis defined by

TAf (x)=K_t^A(f )(x); (2.17) also defineT f (x)= Ktf (x).

It is clear that Definitions2.1,2.2, and2.3are the particular examples ofDefinition 2.4. Note that whenm=0,TAis just the commutator ofKtandA. It is well known that multilinear operators are of great interest in harmonic analysis and have been widely studied by many authors (see [2,3,4,5]). The main purpose of this paper is to consider the continuity of the multilinear operators on Triebel-Lizorkin spaces. We will prove the following theorems inSection 3.

Theorem2.5. Letg_ψ^Abe the multilinear Littlewood-Paley operator as inDefinition 2.1 and let0< β <min(1, ε),1< p <∞, andD^αA∈∧˙βfor|α| =m. Then

(a) g_ψ^Ais bounded fromL^p(Rⁿ)toF˙p^β,∞(Rⁿ),

(b) g_ψ^Ais bounded fromL^p(Rⁿ)toL^q(Rⁿ)for1/p−1/q=β/nand1/p > β/n.

Theorem2.6. Letµ_Ω^Abe the multilinear Marcinkiewicz integral operator as inDefini- tion 2.2and let0< γ≤1,0< β <min(1/2, γ),1< p <∞, andD^αA∈∧˙βfor|α| =m.

Then

(a) µ_Ω^Ais bounded fromL^p(Rⁿ)toF˙p^β,∞(Rⁿ),

(b) µ_Ω^Ais bounded fromL^p(Rⁿ)toL^q(Rⁿ)for1/p−1/q=β/nand1/p > β/n.

Theorem 2.7. Let B^A_δ,∗ be the maximal multilinear Bochner-Riesz operator as in Definition 2.3 and let δ > (n−1)/2, 0< β <min(1, δ−(n−1)/2), 1< p <∞, and D^αA∈∧˙βfor|α| =m. Then

(a) B_δ,∗^A is bounded fromL^p(Rⁿ)toF˙p^β,∞(Rⁿ);

(b) B_δ,∗^A is bounded fromL^p(Rⁿ)toL^q(Rⁿ)for1/p−1/q=β/nand1/p > β/n.

3. Main theorem and proof. First, we will establish the following theorem.

Theorem3.1. Let0< β <1,1< p <∞, andD^αA∈∧˙βfor|α| =m. LetKt,T, and TA be the same as inDefinition 2.4. IfT is bounded onL^q(Rⁿ)forq∈(1,+∞)andTA

(b) TAis bounded fromL^p(Rⁿ)toL^q(Rⁿ)for1/p−1/q=β/nand1/p > β/n.

To prove the theorem, we need the following lemmas.

To prove Theorems2.5,2.6, and2.7, it suffices to verify thatg_ψ^A,µ^A_Ω, andB_δ,^A_∗satisfy the size condition in theTheorem 3.1.

Mathematical Problems in Engineering

Special Issue on

Modeling Experimental Nonlinear Dynamics and Chaotic Scenarios

Call for Papers

Thinking about nonlinearity in engineering areas, up to the 70s, was focused on intentionally built nonlinear parts in order to improve the operational characteristics of a device or system. Keying, saturation, hysteretic phenomena, and dead zones were added to existing devices increasing their behavior diversity and precision. In this context, an intrinsic nonlinearity was treated just as a linear approximation, around equilibrium points.

Inspired on the rediscovering of the richness of nonlinear and chaotic phenomena, engineers started using analytical tools from “Qualitative Theory of Di

erential Equations,”

allowing more precise analysis and synthesis, in order to produce new vital products and services. Bifurcation theory, dynamical systems and chaos started to be part of the mandatory set of tools for design engineers.

This proposed special edition of the Mathematical Prob-

tance of the bifurcation theory, relating it with nonlinear and chaotic dynamics for natural and engineered systems.

Ideas of how this dynamics can be captured through precisely tailored real and numerical experiments and understanding by the combination of specific tools that associate dynamical system theory and geometric tools in a very clever, sophis- ticated, and at the same time simple and unique analytical environment are the subject of this issue, allowing new methods to design high-precision devices and equipment.
