1 Introduction

As the development of singular integral operators (see [13]), their commutators operators have been well studied. In [46], the authors prove that the commutators generated by the singular integral operators and BMO functions are bounded on L p ( R n ) for 1<p<. Chanillo (see [7]) proves a similar result when singular integral operators are replaced by the fractional integral operators. In [8, 9], the boundedness for the commutators generated by the singular integral operators and Lipschitz functions on Triebel-Lizorkin and L p ( R n ) (1<p<) spaces are obtained. In [10, 11], the boundedness for the commutators generated by the singular integral operators and the weighted BMO and Lipschitz functions on L p ( R n ) (1<p<) spaces are obtained (also see [12, 13]). In [1417], the authors studied some multilinear singular integral operators as follows (also see [18, 19]):

T b (f)(x)= R m + 1 ( b ; x , y ) | x y | m K(x,y)f(y)dy,

and they obtained some variant sharp function estimates and boundedness of the multilinear operators if D α bBMO( R n ) for all α with |α|=m. In this paper, we will study the multilinear operator generated by the singular integral operator and the weighted Lipschitz and BMO functions, that is, D α bBMO(w) or D α b Lip β (w) for all α with |α|=m.

2 Preliminaries

First, let us introduce some notations. Throughout this paper, Q will denote a cube of R n with sides parallel to the axes. For any locally integrable function f, the sharp maximal function of f is defined by

M # (f)(x)= sup Q x 1 | Q | Q | f ( y ) f Q | dy;

here, and in the following, f Q = | Q | 1 Q f(x)dx. It is well known that (see [1, 2])

M # (f)(x) sup Q x inf c C 1 | Q | Q | f ( y ) c | dy.

Let

M(f)(x)= sup Q x 1 | Q | Q | f ( y ) | dy.

For η>0, let M η # (f)(x)= M # ( | f | η ) 1 / η (x) and M η (f)(x)=M ( | f | η ) 1 / η (x).

For 0<η<n, 1p< and the non-negative weight function w, set

M η , p , w (f)(x)= sup Q x ( 1 w ( Q ) 1 p η / n Q | f ( y ) | p w ( y ) d y ) 1 / p .

We write M η , p , w (f)= M p , w (f) if η=0.

The A p weight is defined by (see [1]), for 1<p<,

A p = { w L loc 1 ( R n ) : sup Q ( 1 | Q | Q w ( x ) d x ) ( 1 | Q | Q w ( x ) 1 / ( p 1 ) d x ) p 1 < }

and

A 1 = { w L loc p ( R n ) : M ( w ) ( x ) C w ( x ) , a.e. } .

Given a non-negative weight function w. For 1p<, the weighted Lebesgue space L p ( R n ,w) is the space of functions f such that

f L p ( w ) = ( R n | f ( x ) | p w ( x ) d x ) 1 / p <.

For 0<β<1 and the non-negative weight function w, the weighted Lipschitz space Lip β (w) is the space of functions b such that

b Lip β ( w ) = sup Q 1 w ( Q ) β / n ( 1 w ( Q ) Q | b ( y ) b Q | p w ( x ) 1 p d y ) 1 / p <,

and the weighted BMO space BMO(w) is the space of functions b such that

b BMO ( w ) = sup Q ( 1 w ( Q ) Q | b ( y ) b Q | p w ( x ) 1 p d y ) 1 / p <.

Remark

  1. (1)

    It is well known that (see [10, 20]), for b Lip β (w), w A 1 and xQ,

    | b Q b 2 k Q |Ck b Lip β ( w ) w(x)w ( 2 k Q ) β / n .
  2. (2)

    It is well known that (see [11, 20]), for bBMO(w), w A 1 and xQ,

    | b Q b 2 k Q |Ck b BMO ( w ) w(x).
  3. (3)

    Let b Lip β (w) or bBMO(w) and w A 1 . By [20], we know that spaces Lip β (w) or BMO(w) coincide and the norms b Lip β ( w ) or b BMO ( w ) are equivalent with respect to different values 1p<.

Definition 1 Let φ be a positive, increasing function on R + and let there exist a constant D>0 such that

φ(2t)Dφ(t)for t0.

Let w be a non-negative weight function on R n and f be a locally integrable function on  R n . Set, for 1p<,

f L p , φ ( w ) = sup x R n , d > 0 ( 1 φ ( d ) Q ( x , d ) | f ( y ) | p w ( y ) d y ) 1 / p ,

where Q(x,d)={y R n :|xy|<d}. The generalized weighted Morrey space is defined by

L p , φ ( R n , w ) = { f L loc 1 ( R n ) : f L p , φ ( w ) < } .

If φ(d)= d δ , δ>0, then L p , φ ( R n ,w)= L p , δ ( R n ,w), which is the classical Morrey spaces (see [21, 22]). If φ(d)=1, then L p , φ ( R n ,w)= L p ( R n ,w), which is the weighted Lebesgue spaces (see [1]).

As the Morrey space may be considered as an extension of the Lebesgue space, it is natural and important to study the boundedness of the operator on the Morrey spaces (see [9, 2328]).

In this paper, we will study the singular integral operators as follows (see [5]).

Definition 2 Let T:S S be a linear operator such that T is bounded on L p ( R n ) for 1<p< and weak ( L 1 , L 1 )-bounded and there exists a locally integrable function K(x,y) on R n × R n {(x,y) R n × R n :x=y} such that

T(f)(x)= R n K(x,y)f(y)dy

for every bounded and compactly supported function f, where K satisfies, for fixed ε>0,

| K ( x , y ) | C | x y | n

and

| K ( y , x ) K ( z , x ) | + | K ( x , y ) K ( x , z ) | C | y z | ε | x z | n ε

if 2|yz||xz|.

Moreover, let m be the positive integer and b be the function on R n . Set

R m + 1 (b;x,y)=b(x) | α | m 1 α ! D α b(y) ( x y ) α .

The multilinear operator related to the operator T is defined by

T b (f)(x)= R n R m + 1 ( b ; x , y ) | x y | m K(x,y)f(y)dy.

Note that the classical Calderón-Zygmund singular integral operator satisfies the conditions of Definition 2 (see [1, 4]) and that the commutator [b,T](f)=bT(f)T(bf) is a particular operator of the multilinear operator T b if m=0. The multilinear operator T b are the non-trivial generalizations of the commutator. It is well known that commutators and multilinear operators are of great interest in harmonic analysis and have been widely studied by many authors (see [5, 6, 19]). The main purpose of this paper is to prove the sharp maximal inequalities for the multilinear operator T b . As the application, we obtain the weighted L p -norm inequality and Morrey space boundedness for the multilinear operator T b .

3 Theorems and lemmas

We shall prove the following theorems.

Theorem 1 Let T be the singular integral operator as Definition  2, w A 1 , 0<η<1, 1<r< and D α bBMO(w) for all α with |α|=m. Then there exists a constant C>0 such that, for any f C 0 ( R n ) and x ˜ R n ,

M η # ( T b ( f ) ) ( x ˜ )C | α | = m D α b BMO ( w ) w( x ˜ ) M r , w (f)( x ˜ ).

Theorem 5 Let T be the singular integral operator as Definition  2, w A 1 , 0<β<1, 1<p<n/β, 1/q=1/pβ/n and D α b Lip β (w) for all α with |α|=m. Then T b is bounded from L p ( R n ,w) to L q ( R n , w 1 q ).

Theorem 6 Let T be the singular integral operator as Definition  2, w A 1 , 0<β<1, 0<D< 2 n , 1<p<n/β, 1/q=1/pβ/n and D α b Lip β (w) for all α with |α|=m. Then T b is bounded from L p , φ ( R n ,w) to L q , φ ( R n , w 1 q ).

To prove the theorems, we need the following lemmas.

Lemma 1 (See [[1], p.485])

Let 0<p<q< and for any function f0. We define, for 1/r=1/p1/q,

f W L q = sup λ > 0 λ | { x R n : f ( x ) > λ } | 1 / q , N p , q (f)= sup Q f χ Q L p / χ Q L r ,

where the sup is taken for all measurable sets Q with 0<|Q|<. Then

f W L q N p , q (f) ( q / ( q p ) ) 1 / p f W L q .

Lemma 2 (See [1, 20])

Let 0η<n, 1s<p<n/η, 1/q=1/pη/n and w A 1 . Then

M η , s , w ( f ) L q ( w ) C f L p ( w ) .

Lemma 3 (See [1])

Let 0<p,η< and w 1 r < A r . Then, for any smooth function f for which the left-hand side is finite,

R n M η (f) ( x ) p w(x)dxC R n M η # (f) ( x ) p w(x)dx.

Lemma 4 (See [1])

Let 0<p<, 0<η<, 0<D< 2 n and w A 1 . Then, for any smooth function f for which the left-hand side is finite,

M η ( f ) L p , φ ( w ) C M η # ( f ) L p , φ ( w ) .

Lemma 5 (See [20])

Let 0η<n, 0<D< 2 n , 1s<p<n/η, 1/q=1/pη/n and w A 1 . Then

M η , s , w ( f ) L q , φ ( w ) C f L p , φ ( w ) .

Lemma 6 (See [16])

Let b be a function on R n and D α A L q ( R n ) for all α with |α|=m and any q>n. Then

| R m ( b ; x , y ) | C | x y | m | α | = m ( 1 | Q ˜ ( x , y ) | Q ˜ ( x , y ) | D α b ( z ) | q d z ) 1 / q ,

where Q ˜ is the cube centered at x and having side length 5 n |xy|.

4 Proofs of theorems

Proof of Theorem 1 It suffices to prove for f C 0 ( R n ) and some constant C 0 , the following inequality holds:

( 1 | Q | Q | T b ( f ) ( x ) C 0 | η d x ) 1 / η C | α | = m D α b BMO ( w ) w( x ˜ ) M s , w (f)( x ˜ ).

Fix a cube Q=Q( x 0 ,d) and x ˜ Q. Let Q ˜ =5 n Q and b ˜ (x)=b(x) | α | = m 1 α ! ( D α b ) Q ˜ x α , then R m (b;x,y)= R m ( b ˜ ;x,y) and D α b ˜ = D α b ( D α b ) Q ˜ for |α|=m. We write, for f 1 =f χ Q ˜ and f 2 =f χ R n Q ˜ ,

T b ( f ) ( x ) = R n R m ( b ˜ ; x , y ) | x y | m K ( x , y ) f 1 ( y ) d y | α | = m 1 α ! R n ( x y ) α D α b ˜ ( y ) | x y | m K ( x , y ) f 1 ( y ) d y + R n R m + 1 ( b ˜ ; x , y ) | x y | m K ( x , y ) f 2 ( y ) d y = T ( R m ( b ˜ ; x , ) | x | m f 1 ) T ( | α | = m 1 α ! ( x ) α D α b ˜ | x | m f 1 ) + T b ˜ ( f 2 ) ( x ) ,

then

( 1 | Q | Q | T b ( f ) ( x ) T b ( f 2 ) ( x 0 ) | η d x ) 1 / η C ( 1 | Q | Q | T ( R m ( b ˜ ; x , ) | x | m f 1 ) | η d x ) 1 / η + C ( 1 | Q | Q | T ( | α | = m ( x ) α D α b ˜ | x | m f 1 ) | η d x ) 1 / η + C ( 1 | Q | Q | T b ˜ ( f 2 ) ( x ) T b ˜ ( f 2 ) ( x 0 ) | η d x ) 1 / η = I 1 + I 2 + I 3 .

For I 1 , noting that w A 1 , w satisfies the reverse of Hölder’s inequality:

( 1 | Q | Q w ( x ) p 0 d x ) 1 / p 0 C | Q | Q w(x)dx

for all cube Q and some 1< p 0 < (see [1]). We take q=r p 0 /(r+ p 0 1) in Lemma 6 and have 1<q<r and p 0 =q(r1)/(rq), then by the Lemma 6 and Hölder’s inequality, we obtain

| R m ( b ˜ ; x , y ) | C | x y | m | α | = m ( 1 | Q ˜ ( x , y ) | Q ˜ ( x , y ) | D α b ˜ ( z ) | q d z ) 1 / q C | x y | m | α | = m | Q ˜ | 1 / q ( Q ˜ ( x , y ) | D α b ˜ ( z ) | q w ( z ) q ( 1 r ) / r w ( z ) q ( r 1 ) / r d z ) 1 / q C | x y | m | α | = m | Q ˜ | 1 / q ( Q ˜ ( x , y ) | D α b ˜ ( z ) | r w ( z ) 1 r d z ) 1 / r × ( Q ˜ ( x , y ) w ( z ) q ( r 1 ) / ( r q ) d z ) ( r q ) / ( r q ) C | x y | m | α | = m | Q ˜ | 1 / q D α b BMO ( w ) w ( Q ˜ ) 1 / r | Q ˜ | ( r q ) / r q × ( 1 | Q ˜ ( x , y ) | Q ˜ ( x , y ) w ( z ) p 0 d z ) ( r q ) / r q C | x y | m | α | = m D α b BMO ( w ) | Q ˜ | 1 / q w ( Q ˜ ) 1 / r | Q ˜ | 1 / q 1 / r ( 1 | Q ˜ ( x , y ) | Q ˜ ( x , y ) w ( z ) d z ) ( r 1 ) / r C | x y | m | α | = m D α b BMO ( w ) | Q ˜ | 1 / q w ( Q ˜ ) 1 / r | Q ˜ | 1 / q 1 / r w ( Q ˜ ) 1 1 / r | Q ˜ | 1 / r 1 C | x y | m | α | = m D α b BMO ( w ) w ( Q ˜ ) | Q ˜ | C | x y | m | α | = m D α b BMO ( w ) w ( x ˜ ) ,

thus, by the L s -boundedness of T (see Lemma 2) for 1<s<r and w A 1 A r / s , we obtain

I 1 C | Q | Q | T ( R m ( b ˜ ; x , ) | x | m f 1 ) | d x C | α | = m D α b BMO ( w ) w ( x ˜ ) ( 1 | Q | R n | T ( f 1 ) ( x ) | s d x ) 1 / s C | α | = m D α b BMO ( w ) w ( x ˜ ) | Q | 1 / s ( R n | f 1 ( x ) | s d x ) 1 / s C | α | = m D α b BMO ( w ) w ( x ˜ ) | Q | 1 / s ( Q ˜ | f ( x ) | s w ( x ) s / r w ( x ) s / r d x ) 1 / s C | α | = m D α b BMO ( w ) w ( x ˜ ) | Q | 1 / s ( Q ˜ | f ( x ) | r w ( x ) d x ) 1 / r ( Q ˜ w ( x ) s / ( r s ) d x ) ( r s ) / r s C | α | = m D α b BMO ( w ) w ( x ˜ ) | Q | 1 / s w ( Q ˜ ) 1 / r ( 1 w ( Q ˜ ) Q ˜ | f ( x ) | r w ( x ) d x ) 1 / r × ( 1 | Q ˜ | Q ˜ w ( x ) s / ( r s ) d x ) ( r s ) / r s ( 1 | Q ˜ | Q ˜ w ( x ) d x ) 1 / r | Q ˜ | 1 / s w ( Q ˜ ) 1 / r C | α | = m D α b BMO ( w ) w ( x ˜ ) M r , w ( f ) ( x ˜ ) .

For I 2 , by the weak ( L 1 , L 1 ) boundedness of T (see Lemma 2) and Kolmogoro’s inequality (see Lemma 1), we obtain

I 2 C | α | = m ( 1 | Q | Q | T ( D α b ˜ f 1 ) ( x ) | η d x ) 1 / η C | α | = m | Q | 1 / η 1 | Q | 1 / η T ( D α b ˜ f 1 ) χ Q L η χ Q L η / ( 1 η ) C | α | = m 1 | Q | T ( D α b ˜ f 1 ) W L 1 C | α | = m 1 | Q | R n | D α b ˜ ( x ) f 1 ( x ) | d x C | α | = m 1 | Q | Q ˜ | D α b ( x ) ( D α b ) Q ˜ | w ( x ) 1 / r | f ( x ) | w ( x ) 1 / r d x C | α | = m 1 | Q | ( Q ˜ | ( D α b ( x ) ( D α b ) Q ˜ ) | r w ( x ) 1 r d x ) 1 / r ( Q ˜ | f ( x ) | r w ( x ) d x ) 1 / r C | α | = m 1 | Q | D α b BMO ( w ) w ( Q ˜ ) 1 / r w ( Q ˜ ) 1 / r ( 1 w ( Q ˜ ) Q ˜ | f ( x ) | r w ( x ) d x ) 1 / r C | α | = m D α b BMO ( w ) w ( Q ˜ ) | Q ˜ | M r , w ( f ) ( x ˜ ) C | α | = m D α b BMO ( w ) w ( x ˜ ) M r , w ( f ) ( x ˜ ) .

For I 3 , note that |xy|| x 0 y| for xQ and y R n Q, we write

T b ˜ ( f 2 ) ( x ) T b ˜ ( f 2 ) ( x 0 ) = R n ( R m ( b ˜ ; x , y ) R m ( b ˜ ; x 0 , y ) ) K ( x , y ) | x y | m | f 2 ( y ) | d y + R n ( K ( x , y ) | x y | m K ( x 0 , y ) | x 0 y | m ) R m ( b ˜ ; x 0 , y ) f 2 ( y ) d y + | α | = m 1 α ! R n ( K ( x , y ) | x y | m K ( x 0 , y ) | x 0 y | m ) ( x y ) α D α b ˜ ( y ) f 2 ( y ) d y + | α | = m 1 α ! R n ( ( x y ) α | x y | m ( x 0 y ) α | x 0 y | m ) K ( x 0 , y ) D α b ˜ ( y ) f 2 ( y ) d y = I 3 ( 1 ) ( x ) + I 3 ( 2 ) ( x ) + I 3 ( 3 ) ( x ) + I 3 ( 4 ) ( x ) .

For I 3 ( 1 ) (x), by the formula (see [16]):

R m ( b ˜ ;x,y) R m ( b ˜ ; x 0 ,y)= | γ | < m 1 γ ! R m | γ | ( D γ b ˜ ; x , x 0 ) ( x y ) γ

and Lemma 6, we have, similar to the proof of I 1 ,

| R m ( b ˜ ; x , y ) R m ( b ˜ ; x 0 , y ) | C | γ | < m | α | = m | x x 0 | m | γ | | x y | | γ | D α b BMO ( w ) w( x ˜ ),

thus, by w A 1 A r ,

| I 3 ( 1 ) ( x ) | k = 0 2 k + 1 Q ˜ 2 k Q ˜ | R m ( b ˜ ; x , y ) R m ( b ˜ ; x 0 , y ) | | K ( x , y ) | | x y | m | f ( y ) | d y C | α | = m D α b BMO ( w ) w ( x ˜ ) k = 0 2 k + 1 Q ˜ 2 k Q ˜ | x x 0 | | x 0 y | n + 1 | f ( y ) | d y C | α | = m D α b BMO ( w ) w ( x ˜ ) k = 1 d ( 2 k d ) n + 1 2 k Q ˜ | f ( y ) | w ( y ) 1 / r w ( y ) 1 / r d y C | α | = m D α b BMO ( w ) w ( x ˜ ) × k = 1 d ( 2 k d ) n + 1 ( 2 k Q ˜ | f ( y ) | r w ( y ) d y ) 1 / r ( 2 k Q ˜ w ( y ) 1 / ( r 1 ) d y ) ( r 1 ) / r C | α | = m D α b BMO ( w ) w ( x ˜ ) k = 1 d ( 2 k d ) n + 1 w ( 2 k Q ˜ ) 1 / r ( 1 w ( 2 k Q ˜ ) 2 k Q ˜ | f ( y ) | r w ( y ) d x ) 1 / r × ( 1 | 2 k Q ˜ | 2 k Q ˜ w ( y ) 1 / ( r 1 ) d y ) ( r 1 ) / r ( 1 | 2 k Q ˜ | 2 k Q ˜ w ( y ) d y ) 1 / r | 2 k Q ˜ | w ( 2 k Q ˜ ) 1 / r C | α | = m D α b BMO ( w ) w ( x ˜ ) M r , w ( f ) ( x ˜ ) k = 1 2 k C | α | = m D α b BMO ( w ) w ( x ˜ ) M r , w ( f ) ( x ˜ ) .

For I 3 ( 2 ) (x), by the conditions of K, we get

| I 3 ( 2 ) ( x ) | C k = 0 2 k + 1 Q ˜ 2 k Q ˜ | K ( x , y ) | x y | m K ( x 0 , y ) | x 0 y | m | | R m ( b ˜ ; x 0 , y ) | | f ( y ) | d y C | α | = m D α b BMO ( w ) w ( x ˜ ) k = 0 2 k + 1 Q ˜ 2 k Q ˜ ( | x x 0 | | x 0 y | n + 1 + | x x 0 | ε | x 0 y | n + ε ) | f ( y ) | d y C | α | = m D α b BMO ( w ) w ( x ˜ ) k = 1 ( d ( 2 k d ) n + 1 + d ε ( 2 k d ) n + ε ) 2 k Q ˜ | f ( y ) | d y C | α | = m D α b BMO ( w ) w ( x ˜ ) M r , w ( f ) ( x ˜ ) k = 1 ( 2 k + 2 k ε ) C | α | = m D α b BMO ( w ) w ( x ˜ ) M r , w ( f ) ( x ˜ ) .

Similarly, we have

Thus

I 3 C | α | = m D α b BMO ( w ) w( x ˜ ) M r , w (f)( x ˜ ).

These complete the proof of Theorem 1. □

Proof of Theorem 2 It suffices to prove for f C 0 ( R n ) and some constant C 0 , the following inequality holds:

( 1 | Q | Q | T b ( f ) ( x ) C 0 | η d x ) 1 / η C | α | = m D α b Lip β ( w ) w( x ˜ ) M β , r , w (f)( x ˜ ).

Fix a cube Q=Q( x 0 ,d) and x ˜ Q. Similar to the proof of Theorem 1, we have, for f 1 =f χ Q ˜ and f 2 =f χ R n Q ˜ ,

For J 1 and J 2 , by using the same argument as in the proof of Theorem 1, we get

| R m ( b ˜ ; x , y ) | C | x y | m | α | = m | Q ˜ | 1 / q ( Q ˜ ( x , y ) | D α b ˜ ( z ) | q w ( z ) q ( 1 r ) / r w ( z ) q ( r 1 ) / r d z ) 1 / q C | x y | m × | α | = m | Q ˜ | 1 / q ( Q ˜ ( x , y ) | D α b ˜ ( z ) | r w ( z ) 1 r d z ) 1 / r ( Q ˜ ( x , y ) w ( z ) q ( r 1 ) / ( r q ) d z ) ( r q ) / r q C | x y | m × | α | = m | Q ˜ | 1 / q D α b Lip β ( w ) w ( Q ˜ ) β / n + 1 / r | Q ˜ | ( r q ) / r q ( 1 | Q ˜ ( x , y ) | Q ˜ ( x , y ) w ( z ) p 0 d z ) ( r q ) / r q C | x y | m × | α | = m D α b Lip β ( w ) | Q ˜ | 1 / q w ( Q ˜ ) β / n + 1 / r | Q ˜ | 1 / q 1 / r ( 1 | Q ˜ ( x , y ) | Q ˜ ( x , y ) w ( z ) d z ) ( r 1 ) / r C | x y | m | α | = m D α b Lip β ( w ) | Q ˜ | 1 / q w ( Q ˜ ) β / n + 1 / r | Q ˜ | 1 / q 1 / r w ( Q ˜ ) 1 1 / r | Q ˜ | 1 / r 1 C | x y | m | α | = m D α b Lip β ( w ) w ( Q ˜ ) β / n + 1 | Q ˜ | C | x y | m | α | = m D α b Lip β ( w ) w ( Q ˜ ) β / n w ( x ˜ ) ,

thus

For J 3 , we have
