Abstract

In the present paper, we deal with the composition of carathéodory and homotopy operators for differential forms satisfying the A-harmonic equation in the bounded and convex domain. We obtain estimates for the composition and the form of inequalities with weights. Moreover, we also obtain the composition for the gradient, carathéodory, and homotopy operators. Then we obtain the <a onClick="popup('http://www.journalofinequalitiesandapplications.com/content/2012/1/188/mathml/M1','MathML',630,470);return false;" target="_blank" href="http://www.journalofinequalitiesandapplications.com/content/2012/1/188/mathml/M1">View MathML</a> norm estimates for the composition operators.
