Abstract

1 Introduction

One of the central problems in classic harmonic analysis is the study of the boundedness of Fourier transform on a given function space. A basic result is the Hausdorff-Young inequality and its various extensions and generalizations. Here and below we define the Fourier transform of f∈ L 1 ∩ L p to be

Ff(x)= ∫ R n f(y) e − i y x dy.

When 1≤p≤2, ℱ is bounded from L p to L p ′ . If the spaces are weighted Lebesgue spaces or Herz spaces, the following results are proved (see [1–4]).

Theorem A If 1<p≤2 and 0≤α< 1 p ′ , then

( ∫ R n | F f | p ′ | x | − α n p ′ d x ) 1 p ′ ≤c ( ∫ R n | f | p | x | α n p d x ) 1 p .

Theorem B If 1<p≤2 and 0≤α< 1 p ′ , then

∥ F f ∥ K ˙ 2 − α , p ′ ≤c ∥ f ∥ K ˙ p α , p .

Here K ˙ q α , p denotes a Beurling-Herz space.

In [5], the authors give a result as regards the Young theorem for amalgams and Besov spaces.

Theorem C (1) Let 1≤p≤2, 0<q≤∞ and s∈R. Then

F: ( L p , l q ( 〈 z 〉 s ) ) → B p ′ , q s − n ( 1 p − 1 q ) + .
  1. (2)

    Let 1≤p≤2, 0<q≤∞ and s∈R. Then

    F: B p , q s → ( L p ′ , l q ( 〈 z 〉 s − n ( 1 q − 1 p ′ ) + ) ) .

Inspired by Theorem B and Theorem C, in this paper, we discuss the boundedness as regards the Fourier transform on the Herz type amalgams and the Besov spaces. In Section 2, we give the definition of function spaces. The main theorems and their proofs are contained in Section 3.

2 Function spaces

In this section, we give the definition of function spaces that we work on. Let S=S( R n ) and S ′ = S ′ ( R n ) be a Schwartz space and its dual space.

Definition 2.1 (Weighted Lebesgue spaces)

Let ω(x) be a nonnegative function, L p (ω)={f(x)∣ ∥ f ∥ L p ( w ) <∞}, where

∥ f ∥ L p ( w ) = ( ∫ R n | f | p ω ( x ) d x ) 1 p .

Now we give the definitions as regards Herz spaces.

Definition 2.2 Suppose −∞<α<∞, 0<p≤∞, 0<q≤∞. The Herz space K ˙ q α , p is defined by

K ˙ q α , p = { f ∈ L loc q ( R n ∖ { 0 } ) : ∥ f ∥ K q α , p < ∞ } ,

where X B k (x)= X C k − C k − 1 (x), C k ={x∈ R n :|x|≤ 2 k },

∥ f ∥ K ˙ q α , p = { ∑ k = − ∞ ∞ 2 k α q ∥ f χ B k ∥ L p q } 1 / q .

The usual modification should be made when p=∞ or q=∞ (see [6]).

In order to define the Herz type Besov space, we need the following Littlewood-Paley function (see [5, 7]).

Definition 2.3 Let ϕ 0 , ϕ 1 ∈S be even functions satisfying the following condition:

X [ − 2 , 2 ] n ≤ ϕ 0 ≤ X [ − 4 , 4 ] n , X [ − 4 , 4 ] n − [ − 2 , 2 ] n ≤ ϕ 1 ≤ X [ − 8 , 8 ] n − [ − 1 , 1 ] n .

We set ϕ j (x)= ϕ 1 ( 2 − j + 1 x) for j≥2.

For f∈ S ′ , we denote ϕ j (D)f= F − 1 ( ϕ j Ff). Now let us introduce the Herz type Besov spaces (see [8]).

Definition 2.4 Let −∞<α<∞, 0<p<∞, 1≤q<∞, and −∞<s<∞, 0<r≤∞; then we define

K ˙ q α , p B r s = { f ∈ S ′ | ∥ f ∥ K ˙ q α , p B r s = { ∑ i = 0 ∞ 2 i s r ∥ ϕ j ( D ) f ∥ K ˙ q α , p r } 1 / r < ∞ } .

Obviously, the definition of the Herz-Besov space is independent of the choice of ϕ 0 , ϕ 1 and K ˙ p 0 , p B r s = B p , r s , standard Besov spaces. More information as regards the Besov space and Herz type Besov spaces can be found in [7, 9–12].

Definition 2.5 (Herz type amalgam space)

Let −∞<α<∞, 0<p<∞, 1≤q<∞, s∈R, and 0<r≤∞. Set Q z =z+ [ 0 , 1 ] n , the translation of the unit cube. For a Lebesgue locally integrable function f we define

∥ f ∥ ( K ˙ q α , p , l r ( 〈 z 〉 s ) ) = ∥ { 〈 z 〉 s ∥ f X Q z ∥ K ˙ q α , p } ∥ l r ,

where 〈z〉= | z | 2 + 1 . ( K ˙ q α , p , l r ( 〈 z 〉 s )) is the set of all locally integrable functions f for which the quasi-norm ∥ f ∥ ( K ˙ q α , p , l r ( 〈 z 〉 s ) ) <∞.

If α=0 and p=q in Definition 2.5, then the Herz type amalgam space is also an amalgam space ( L p , l r ( 〈 z 〉 s )) (see [5, 13, 14]).

3 Main theorems and proofs

In this section we formulate our main theorems and proofs.

Theorem 3.1 Let 1<p≤2, 0<q≤∞, 0≤α< 1 p ′ and s∈R. Then the Fourier transform is bounded from the Herz type amalgam space ( K ˙ p α , p , l q ( 〈 z 〉 s )) to the Herz type Besov space K ˙ 2 − α , p ′ B q s − n ( 1 p − 1 q ) + . Here and below, for a∈R we write a + =max{a,0}.

Proof of Theorem 3.1 If we note that the lift operator ( I − â–³ ) t 2 is bounded from K Ë™ u α , p B q s to K Ë™ u α , p B q s − t (see [8]) and the following multiplication operator is an isomorphism:

f∈ ( K ˙ q α , p , l r ( 〈 z 〉 s ) ) ↦ 〈 ⋅ 〉 t ⋅f∈ ( K ˙ q α , p , l r ( 〈 z 〉 s − t ) ) ,

we can assume s=0.

Let A j =supp( ϕ j ), j∈ N 0 , where ϕ j is the Littlewood-Paley function. Using the Young inequality ∥ F f ∥ K ˙ 2 − α , p ′ ≤c ∥ f ∥ K ˙ p α , p , we obtain

∥ 2 − j n ( 1 p − 1 q ) + ϕ j ( D ) F f ∥ K ˙ 2 − α , p ′ ≤ ∥ 2 − j n ( 1 p − 1 q ) + ϕ j F F f ∥ K ˙ p α , p ≤ c ∥ 2 − j n ( 1 p − 1 q ) + ϕ j f ( − x ) ∥ K ˙ p α , p ≤ c ∥ 2 − j n ( 1 p − 1 q ) + X A j f ∥ K ˙ p α , p .

But

∥ X A j f ( x ) ∥ K ˙ p α , p q ≤ ( ∑ k = − ∞ ∞ 2 k α p ∥ X B k X A j f ∥ p p ) q p ≤ c ( ∑ k = − ∞ ∞ 2 k α p ∑ z ∈ Z n ∥ X B k X Q z X A j f ∥ p p ) q p ≤ c ( ∑ z ∈ Z n ( ∑ k = − ∞ ∞ 2 k α p ∥ X B k X Q z X A j f ∥ p p ) ) q p ≤ c ( ∑ | z | ∽ 2 j n ∥ X Q z X A j f ∥ K ˙ p α , p p ) q p ≤ c 2 j n ( q p − 1 ) + ∑ | z | ∽ 2 j n ∥ X Q z X A j f ∥ K ˙ p α , p q ,

where we use the inequality ( ∑ j = 1 L | a j | ) q p ≤ L ( q p − 1 ) + ∑ j = 1 L | a j | q p (see [5]).

If we put these estimates together, we have

∥ { ∥ 2 − j n ( 1 p − 1 q ) + ϕ j ( D ) F f ∥ K ˙ 2 − α , p ′ } ∥ l q ≤ c ∥ { ( ∑ z ∥ X A j X Q z f ∥ K ˙ p α , p q ) 1 q } ∥ l q ≤ c ( ∑ z ∑ j ∥ X A j X Q z f ∥ K ˙ p α , p q ) 1 q .

Given z∈ Z n , from the definition of the ϕ j , there are at most three j such that A j ∩ Q z ≠∅. So we have

∥ { ∥ 2 − j n ( 1 p − 1 q ) + ϕ j ( D ) F f ∥ K ˙ 2 − α , p ′ } ∥ l q ≤ c ( ∑ z ∑ j ∥ X A j X Q z f ∥ K ˙ p α , p q ) 1 q ≤ c ( ∑ z ∥ X Q z f ∥ K ˙ p α , p q ) 1 q ≤ c ∥ f ∥ ( K ˙ p α , p , l q ( 〈 z 〉 s ) ) .

This is the desired result. □

Theorem 3.2 Let 1<p≤2, 0<q≤∞, 0≤α< 1 p ′ and s∈R. Then the Fourier transform is bounded from the Herz type Besov space K ˙ p α , p B q s to the Herz type amalgams space ( K ˙ 2 − α , p ′ , l q ( 〈 z 〉 s − n ( 1 q − 1 p ′ ) + )).

Proof of Theorem 3.2 As before, we assume s=0. Let | z | ∞ =max{| z 1 |,…,| z n |}. By the definition of the Herz type amalgam space, we have

∥ F f ∥ ( K ˙ 2 − α , p ′ , l q ( 〈 z 〉 − n ( 1 q − 1 p ′ ) + ) ) q ∽ ∥ { 2 − j n q ( 1 q − 1 p ′ ) + ∑ | z | ∞ ∽ 2 j n ∥ F f ∥ K ˙ 2 − α , p ′ q } ∥ l 1 .

When | z | ∞ ∽ 2 j , from the definition of B k , there are at most three k (k=j−1,j,j+1) such that Q z ∩ B k ≠∅. If | z 1 | ∞ ,…, | z i | ∞ ∽ 2 j and Q z 1 ∩⋯∩ Q z i =∅, we have

∥ X Q z 1 F f ∥ K ˙ 2 − α , p ′ p ′ + ⋯ + ∥ X Q z i F f ∥ K ˙ 2 − α , p ′ p ′ ≤ c ∑ k = j − 1 j + 1 2 − k α p ′ ∥ X Q z 1 X B k F f ∥ p ′ p ′ + ⋯ + c ∑ k = j − 1 j + 1 2 − k α p ′ ∥ X Q z i X B k F f ∥ p ′ p ′ = c ∑ k = j − 1 j + 1 2 − k α p ′ ∥ X Q z 1 ∪ ⋯ ∪ Q z i X B k F f ∥ p ′ p ′ = c ∥ X Q z 1 ∪ ⋯ ∪ Q z i F f ∥ K ˙ 2 − α , p ′ p ′ .

Using the above inequality and ∑ i = 1 L | a i | q p ′ ≤ L ( 1 − q p ′ ) + ( ∑ i = 1 L | a i | ) q p ′ (see [5]) we have

2 − j n q ( 1 q − 1 p ′ ) + ∑ | z | ∞ ∽ 2 j n ∥ F f ∥ K ˙ 2 − α , p ′ q ≤ 2 − j n q ( 1 q − 1 p ′ ) + ∑ | z | ∞ ∽ 2 j n ∥ F f ∥ K ˙ 2 − α , p ′ p ′ q p ′ ≤ ( ∑ | z | ∞ ∽ 2 j n ∥ F f ∥ K ˙ 2 − α , p ′ p ′ ) q p ′ ∽ ∥ X B j F f ∥ K ˙ 2 − α , p ′ q .

So

∥ F f ∥ ( K ˙ 2 − α , p ′ , l q ( 〈 z 〉 − n ( 1 q − 1 p ′ ) + ) ) ≤ ∥ { ∥ X B j F f ∥ K ˙ 2 − α , p ′ } ∥ l q ≤ c ∥ { ∥ ϕ j F f ∥ K ˙ 2 − α , p ′ } ∥ l q ≤ c ∥ { ∥ ϕ j ( D ) f ∥ K ˙ p α , p } ∥ l q ≤ c ∥ f ∥ K ˙ p α , p B q 0 .

This proves Theorem 3.2. □

We note that K ˙ p α , p = L p ( | x | α ) (see [2]) and K ˙ 2 α , p ⊂ K ˙ q α , p , q≥2. Then we have the following.

Corollary 3.3 Let 1<p≤2, 0<q≤∞, 0≤α< 1 p ′ , and s∈R. Then the Fourier transform is bounded from the weighted amalgam space ( L p ( | x | α ), l q ( 〈 z 〉 s )) to the weighted Besov space B p ′ , q s − n ( 1 p − 1 q ) + ( | x | − α ).

Corollary 3.4 Let 1<p≤2, 0<q≤∞, 0≤α< 1 p ′ , and s∈R. Then the Fourier transform is bounded from the weighted Besov space B p , q s ( | x | α ) to the weighted amalgam space ( L p ′ ( | x | − α ), l q ( 〈 z 〉 s − n ( 1 q − 1 p ′ ) + )).

If q=p and s=0 in Theorem 3.1, we have the following.

Corollary 3.5 Let 1<p≤2 and 0≤α< 1 p ′ . Then the Fourier transform is bounded from the Herz space K ˙ p α , p to the Herz type Besov space K ˙ 2 − α , p ′ B p 0 .

Next we deduce some necessary condition as regards the boundedness of the Fourier transform.

Proposition 3.6 Let 1≤ p 1 ≤∞, 0< p 2 , q 1 , q 2 , u 1 , u 2 ≤∞, α 1 ≥0, and α 2 , s 1 , s 2 ∈R. If

∥ F f ∥ K ˙ u 2 α 2 , p 2 B q 2 s 2 ≤c ∥ f ∥ ( K ˙ u 1 α 1 , p 1 , l q 1 ( 〈 z 〉 s 1 ) ) ,

then p 1 ≥ p 2 ′ .

Proof of Proposition 3.6 Let θ∈S be an even function with X B ( 0 , 1 4 ) ≤θ≤ X B ( 0 , 1 2 ) . We take f(x)= | x | − α 1 θ, g(x)= | x | − α 1 (1−θ). So F(f+g)(x)=c | x | α 1 − n . Since | x | 2 v Fg(x)=F( ( − Δ ) v g)(x)<c (v≫1), it follows that |Fg(x)|≤c | x | − 2 v . From this we have |Ff(x)|∽ | x | α 1 − n (x→∞).

Since suppf⊂B(0, 1 2 ), we have ∥ f ∥ ( K ˙ u 1 α 1 , p 1 , l q 1 ( 〈 z 〉 s 1 ) ) ∽ ∥ f ∥ K ˙ u 1 α 1 , p 1 . But ∥ f X B k ∥ p 1 ∽ 2 k p 1 − α 1 k . So

∥ f ∥ K ˙ u 1 α 1 , p 1 ∽ ( ∑ k = − ∞ 1 2 k α 1 u 1 ∥ f X B k ∥ p 1 u 1 ) 1 u 1 ∽ ∑ k = − ∞ 1 2 k u 1 1 p 1 .

That is to say, f∈( K ˙ u 1 α 1 , p 1 , l q 1 ( 〈 z 〉 s 1 )) if and only if α 1 p 1 <n. ∥ F f ∥ K ˙ u 2 α 2 , p 2 B q 2 s 2 <∞ forces p 2 (n− a 1 )>n. From this it follows that n p 1 ≤n− n p 2 , which is equivalent to p 1 ≥ p 2 ′ . □

Proposition 3.7 Let 1≤ p 1 ≤∞, 0< p 2 , q 1 , q 2 , u 1 , u 2 ≤∞, α 1 ≥0, and α 2 , s 1 , s 2 ∈R. If

∥ F f ∥ K ˙ u 2 α 2 , p 2 B q 2 s 2 ≤c ∥ f ∥ ( K ˙ u 1 α 1 , p 1 , l q 1 ( 〈 z 〉 s 1 ) ) ,

then s 2 ≤ α 1 + α 2 + s 1 + n q 1 − n p 2 ′ .

Proof of Proposition 3.7 We estimate ∥ Ï• j ∥ ( K Ë™ u 1 α 1 , p 1 , l q 1 ( 〈 z 〉 s 1 ) ) and ∥ F Ï• j ∥ K Ë™ u 2 α 2 , p 2 B q 2 s 2 . We have

∥ ϕ j ∥ ( K ˙ u 1 α 1 , p 1 , l q 1 ( 〈 z 〉 s 1 ) ) = ( ∑ z 〈 z 〉 s 1 q 1 ∥ ϕ j X Q z ∥ K ˙ u 1 α 1 . p 1 q 1 ) 1 q 1 ∥ ϕ j ∥ ( K ˙ u 1 α 1 , p 1 , l q 1 ( 〈 z 〉 s 1 ) ) = ( ∑ k ≤ j + 1 2 k s 1 q 1 ∑ | z | ∽ 2 k ∥ ϕ j X Q z ∥ K ˙ u 1 α 1 . p 1 q 1 ) 1 q 1 ∥ ϕ j ∥ ( K ˙ u 1 α 1 , p 1 , l q 1 ( 〈 z 〉 s 1 ) ) ∽ ( ∑ k ≤ j + 1 2 k s 1 q 1 ∑ | z | ∽ 2 k 2 k α 1 q 1 ) 1 q 1 ∥ ϕ j ∥ ( K ˙ u 1 α 1 , p 1 , l q 1 ( 〈 z 〉 s 1 ) ) ∽ ( ∑ k ≤ j + 1 2 k s 1 q 1 2 k n 2 k α 1 q 1 ) 1 q 1 ∽ 2 j ( s 1 + α 1 + n q 1 ) , ∥ F ϕ j ∥ K ˙ u 2 α 2 , p 2 B q 2 s 2 ∽ ∥ 2 j s 2 F ϕ j ∥ K ˙ u 2 α 2 , p 2 ∥ F ϕ j ∥ K ˙ u 2 α 2 , p 2 B q 2 s 2 ∼ 2 j s 2 2 j n ∥ F ϕ 1 ( 2 j − 1 x ) ∥ K ˙ u 2 α 2 , p 2 ∥ F ϕ j ∥ K ˙ u 2 α 2 , p 2 B q 2 s 2 ∼ 2 j s 2 2 j n 2 − j ( α 2 + n p 2 ) ∥ F ϕ 1 ( x ) ∥ K ˙ u 2 α 2 , p 2 ∥ F ϕ j ∥ K ˙ u 2 α 2 , p 2 B q 2 s 2 ∼ 2 j ( s 2 − α 2 + n p 2 ′ ) .

Here we use ∥ f ( λ x ) ∥ K Ë™ q α , p = λ − ( α + n p ) ∥ f ∥ K Ë™ q α , p (see [15]); through 2 j ( s 2 − α 2 + n p 2 ′ ) ≤ 2 j ( s 1 + α 1 + n q 1 ) we have s 2 ≤ α 1 + α 2 + s 1 + n q 1 − n p 2 ′ . This completes the proof of Proposition 3.7. □
