1 Introduction and preliminaries

As for the development of singular integral operators, their commutators and multilinear operators have been well studied (see [19]). Let T be the Calderón-Zygmund singular integral operator and bBMO( R n ), a classical result of Coifman et al. (see [5]) stated that the commutator [b,T](f)=T(bf)bT(f) is bounded on L p ( R n ) for 1<p<. In [10], the authors obtain the boundedness properties of the commutators for the extreme values of p (that is, p=1 and p=). Note that [b,T] is not bounded for the end point boundedness. The purpose of this paper is to introduce some multilinear operator associated to the singular integral operator with general kernels (see [11]) and prove the weighted boundedness properties of the multilinear operators for the extreme cases.

First, let us introduce some preliminaries (see [6, 9]). Throughout this paper, Q will denote a cube of R n with sides parallel to the axes. For a locally integrable functions b and a weight function w (that is, a non-negative locally integrable function), let w(Q)= Q w(x)dx, w Q = | Q | 1 Q w(x)dx, the weighted sharp function of b is defined by

b # (x)= sup Q x 1 w ( Q ) Q | b ( y ) b Q | w(y)dy.

We say that b belongs to BMO(w) if b # belongs to L (w), and we define b B M O ( w ) = b # L ( w ) . If w=1, we denote BMO(w)=BMO( R n ). It has been known that (see [9])

b b 2 k Q B M O Ck b B M O .

We also define the central BMO space by CMO( R n ), which is the space of those functions f L loc ( R n ) such that

f C M O = sup r > 1 | Q ( 0 , r ) | 1 Q | f ( x ) f Q | dx<.

It is well known that (see [6, 9])

f C M O sup r > 1 inf c C | Q ( 0 , r ) | 1 Q | f ( x ) c | dx.

Definition 1 Let 1<p< and w be a non-negative weight functions on R n . We shall call B p (w) the space of those functions f on R n such that

f B p ( w ) = sup r > 1 [ w ( Q ( 0 , r ) ) ] 1 / p f χ Q ( 0 , r ) L p ( w ) <.

The A p weight is defined by (see [6])

A p = { 0 < 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 < } , 1 < p < ,

and

A 1 = { 0 < w L loc 1 ( R n ) : sup Q x 1 | Q | Q w ( y ) d y C w ( x ) , a.e. } .

2 Theorems

In this paper, we will study the following multilinear singular integral operator (see [11]).

Definition 2 Let T:S S be a linear operator such that T is bounded on L 2 ( R n ) and has a kernel K, that is, 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

| K ( x , y ) | C | x y | n , 2 | y z | < | x y | ( | K ( x , y ) K ( x , z ) | + | K ( y , x ) K ( z , x ) | ) d x C ,

and there is a sequence of positive constant numbers { C k } such that for any k1,

( 2 k | z y | | x y | < 2 k + 1 | z y | ( | K ( x , y ) K ( x , z ) | + | K ( y , x ) K ( z , x ) | ) q d y ) 1 / q C k ( 2 k | z y | ) n / q ,

where 1< q <2 and 1/q+1/ q =1.

Let m j be the positive integers (j=1,,l), m 1 ++ m l =m and b j be the functions on R n (j=1,,l). Set, for 1jl,

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

The multilinear operator associated to T is defined by

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

Note that the classical Calderón-Zygmund singular integral operator satisfies Definition 2 (see [7, 8]). Also note that when m=0, T b is just a multilinear commutator of T and b (see [13]). It is well known that a multilinear operator, as a non-trivial extension of a commutator, is of great interest in harmonic analysis and has been widely studied by many authors (see [13]). In this paper, we will study the weighted boundedness properties of the multilinear operators T b for the extreme cases (see [1215]).

We shall prove the following theorems in Section 3.

Theorem 1 Let T be the singular integral operator as Definition  2, and we have the sequence { k m C k } l 1 , w A 1 and D α b j BMO( R n ) for all α with |α|= m j and j=1,,l. Then T b is bounded from L (w) to BMO(w).

Theorem 2 Let T be the singular integral operator as Definition  2, and we have the sequence { k m C k } l 1 , 1<p<, w A 1 , and D α b j BMO( R n ) for all α with |α|= m j and j=1,,l. Then T b is bounded from B p (w) to CMO(w).

3 Proofs of theorems

We begin with two preliminaries lemmas.

Lemma 1 (see [3])

Let b be a function on R n and D α b L q ( R n ) for |α|=m and some 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 ˜ (x,y) is the cube centered at x and having side length 5 n |xy|.

Lemma 2 (see [11])

Let T be the singular integral operator as Definition  2, and we have the sequence { C k } l 1 . Then T is bounded on L p ( R n ,w) for w A p with 1<p<.

Proof of Theorem 1 It is only for us to prove that there exists a constant C Q such that

1 w ( Q ) Q | T b ( f ) ( x ) C Q | w(x)dxC f L ( w )

holds for any cube Q. Without loss of generality, we may assume l=2. Fix a cube Q=Q( x 0 ,d). Let Q ˜ =5 n Q and b ˜ j (x)= b j (x) | α | = m 1 α ! ( D α b j ) Q ˜ x α , then R m ( b j ;x,y)= R m ( b ˜ j ;x,y) and D α b ˜ j = D α b j ( D α b j ) Q ˜ for |α|= m j . We write, for f 1 =f χ Q ˜ and f 2 =f χ R n Q ˜ ,

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

then

| T b ( f ) ( x ) T b ˜ ( f 2 ) ( x 0 ) | | T ( j = 1 2 R m j ( b ˜ j ; x , ) | x | m f 1 ) | + | T ( | α 1 | = m 1 1 α 1 ! R m 2 ( b ˜ 2 ; x , ) ( x ) α 1 D α 1 b ˜ 1 | x | m f 1 ) | + | T ( | α 2 | = m 2 1 α 2 ! R m 1 ( b ˜ 1 ; x , ) ( x ) α 2 D α 2 b ˜ 2 | x | m f 1 ) | + | T ( | α 1 | = m 1 , | α 2 | = m 2 1 α 1 ! α 2 ! ( x ) α 1 + α 2 D α 1 b ˜ 1 D α 2 b ˜ 2 | x | m f 1 ) | + | T b ˜ ( f 2 ) ( x ) T b ˜ ( f 2 ) ( x 0 ) | = I 1 ( x ) + I 2 ( x ) + I 3 ( x ) + I 4 ( x ) + I 5 ( x )

and

1 w ( Q ) Q | T b ( f ) ( x ) T b ˜ ( f 2 ) ( x 0 ) | w ( x ) d x 1 w ( Q ) Q I 1 ( x ) w ( x ) d x + 1 w ( Q ) Q I 2 ( x ) w ( x ) d x + 1 w ( Q ) Q I 3 ( x ) w ( x ) d x + 1 w ( Q ) Q I 4 ( x ) w ( x ) d x + 1 w ( Q ) Q I 5 ( x ) w ( x ) d x = I 1 + I 2 + I 3 + I 4 + I 5 .

Now, let us estimate I 1 , I 2 , I 3 , I 4 , and I 5 , respectively. First, for xQ and y Q ˜ , by Lemma 1, we get

R m ( b ˜ j ;x,y)C | x y | m | α j | = m D α j b j B M O ,

thus, by the L p (w)-boundedness of T for 1<p< (Lemma 2) and Hölder’s inequality, we obtain

I 1 C j = 1 2 ( | α j | = m j D α j b j B M O ) 1 w ( Q ) Q | T ( f 1 ) ( x ) | w ( x ) d x C j = 1 2 ( | α j | = m j D α j b j B M O ) ( 1 w ( Q ) R n | T ( f 1 ) ( x ) | p w ( x ) d x ) 1 / p C j = 1 2 ( | α j | = m j D α j b j B M O ) ( 1 w ( Q ) R n | f 1 ( x ) | p w ( x ) d x ) 1 / p C j = 1 2 ( | α j | = m j D α j b j B M O ) ( w ( Q ˜ ) w ( Q ) ) 1 / p f L ( w ) C j = 1 2 ( | α j | = m j D α j b j B M O ) f L ( w ) .

For I 2 , since 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 [13]), thus, by the L p -boundedness of T for p>1, we get

I 2 C | α 2 | = m 2 D α 2 b 2 B M O | α 1 | = m 1 1 w ( Q ) Q | T ( D α 1 b ˜ 1 f 1 ) ( x ) | w ( x ) d x C | α 2 | = m 2 D α 2 b 2 B M O | α 1 | = m 1 ( 1 w ( Q ) R n | T ( D α 1 b ˜ 1 f 1 ) ( x ) | p w ( x ) d x ) 1 / p C | α 2 | = m 2 D α 2 b 2 B M O | α 1 | = m 1 ( 1 w ( Q ) R n | D α 1 b ˜ 1 ( x ) f 1 ( x ) | p w ( x ) d x ) 1 / p C | α 2 | = m 2 D α 2 b 2 B M O | α 1 | = m 1 ( 1 | Q | Q ˜ | D α 1 b 1 ( x ) ( D α 1 b 1 ) Q ˜ | p p 0 d x ) 1 / p p 0 × w ( Q ) 1 / p | Q | 1 / p ( 1 | Q ˜ | Q ˜ w ( x ) p 0 d x ) 1 / p p 0 f L ( w ) C j = 1 2 ( | α j | = m j D α j b j B M O ) w ( Q ) 1 / p | Q | 1 / p ( 1 | Q ˜ | Q ˜ w ( x ) d x ) 1 / p f L ( w ) C j = 1 2 ( | α j | = m j D α j b j B M O ) f L ( w ) .

For I 3 , similar to the proof of I 2 , we get

I 3 C j = 1 2 ( | α j | = m j D α j b j B M O ) f L ( w ) .

Similarly, for I 4 , choose 1< r 1 , r 2 < such that 1/ r 1 +1/ r 2 +1/ p 0 =1, we obtain, by Hölder’s inequality and the reverse of Hölder’s inequality,

I 4 C | α 1 | = m 1 , | α 2 | = m 2 1 w ( Q ) Q | T ( D α 1 b ˜ 1 D α 2 b ˜ 2 f 1 ) ( x ) | w ( x ) d x C | α 1 | = m 1 , | α 2 | = m 2 ( 1 w ( Q ) R n | T ( D α 1 b ˜ 1 D α 2 b ˜ 2 f 1 ) ( x ) | p w ( x ) d x ) 1 / p C | α 1 | = m 1 , | α 2 | = m 2 w ( Q ) 1 / p ( R n | D α 1 b ˜ 1 ( x ) D α 2 b ˜ 2 ( x ) f 1 ( x ) | p w ( x ) d x ) 1 / p C | α 1 | = m 1 , | α 2 | = m 2 ( 1 | Q ˜ | Q ˜ | D α 1 b ˜ 1 ( x ) | p r 1 d x ) 1 / p r 1 ( 1 | Q ˜ | Q ˜ | D α 2 b ˜ 2 ( x ) | p r 2 d x ) 1 / p r 2 × w ( Q ) 1 / p | Q | 1 / p ( 1 | Q ˜ | Q ˜ w ( x ) p 0 d x ) 1 / p p 0 f L ( w ) C j = 1 2 ( | α j | = m j D α j b j B M O ) f L ( w ) .

For I 5 , we write

T b ˜ ( f 2 ) ( x ) T b ˜ ( f 2 ) ( x 0 ) = R n ( K ( x , y ) | x y | m K ( x 0 , y ) | x 0 y | m ) j = 1 2 R m j ( b ˜ j ; x , y ) f 2 ( y ) d y + R n ( R m 1 ( b ˜ 1 ; x , y ) R m 1 ( b ˜ 1 ; x 0 , y ) ) R m 2 ( b ˜ 2 ; x , y ) | x 0 y | m K ( x 0 , y ) f 2 ( y ) d y + R n ( R m 2 ( b ˜ 2 ; x , y ) R m 2 ( b ˜ 2 ; x 0 , y ) ) R m 1 ( b ˜ 1 ; x 0 , y ) | x 0 y | m K ( x 0 , y ) f 2 ( y ) d y | α 1 | = m 1 1 α 1 ! R n [ R m 2 ( b ˜ 2 ; x , y ) ( x y ) α 1 | x y | m K ( x , y ) R m 2 ( b ˜ 2 ; x 0 , y ) ( x 0 y ) α 1 | x 0 y | m K ( x 0 , y ) ] × D α 1 b ˜ 1 ( y ) f 2 ( y ) d y | α 2 | = m 2 1 α 2 ! R n [ R m 1 ( b ˜ 1 ; x , y ) ( x y ) α 2 | x y | m K ( x , y ) R m 1 ( b ˜ 1 ; x 0 , y ) ( x 0 y ) α 2 | x 0 y | m K ( x 0 , y ) ] × D α 2 b ˜ 2 ( y ) f 2 ( y ) d y + | α 1 | = m 1 , | α 2 | = m 2 1 α 1 ! α 2 ! R n [ ( x y ) α 1 + α 2 | x y | m K ( x , y ) ( x 0 y ) α 1 + α 2 | x 0 y | m K ( x 0 , y ) ] × D α 1 b ˜ 1 ( y ) D α 2 b ˜ 2 ( y ) f 2 ( y ) d y = I 5 ( 1 ) ( x ) + I 5 ( 2 ) ( x ) + I 5 ( 3 ) ( x ) + I 5 ( 4 ) ( x ) + I 5 ( 5 ) ( x ) + I 5 ( 6 ) ( x ) .

By Lemma 1 and the inequality (see [9])

| b Q 1 b Q 2 |Clog ( | Q 2 | / | Q 1 | ) b B M O for  Q 1 Q 2 ,

we know that, for xQ and y 2 k + 1 Q ˜ 2 k Q ˜ ,

| R m j ( b ˜ j ; x , y ) | C | x y | m j | α | = m j ( D α b j B M O + | ( D α b j ) Q ˜ ( x , y ) ( D α b j ) Q ˜ | ) C k | x y | m j | α | = m j D α b j B M O .

Note that |xy|| x 0 y| for xQ and y R n Q ˜ , we obtain, by the conditions on K,

| I 5 ( 1 ) ( x ) | R n | 1 | x y | m 1 | x 0 y | m | | K ( x , y ) | j = 1 2 | R m j ( b ˜ j ; x , y ) | | f 2 ( y ) | d y + R n | K ( x , y ) K ( x 0 , y ) | | x 0 y | m j = 1 2 | R m j ( b ˜ j ; x , y ) | | f 2 ( y ) | d y k = 0 2 k + 1 Q ˜ 2 k Q ˜ | 1 | x y | m 1 | x 0 y | m | | K ( x , y ) | j = 1 2 | R m j ( b ˜ j ; x , y ) | | f ( y ) | d y + k = 0 2 k + 1 Q ˜ 2 k Q ˜ | K ( x , y ) K ( x 0 , y ) | | x 0 y | m j = 1 2 | R m j ( b ˜ j ; x , y ) | | f ( y ) | d y C j = 1 2 ( | α j | = m j D α j b j B M O ) k = 0 k 2 2 k + 1 Q ˜ 2 k Q ˜ | x x 0 | | x 0 y | n + 1 | f ( y ) | d y + C j = 1 2 ( | α j | = m j D α j b j B M O ) k = 0 k 2 ( 2 k + 1 Q ˜ 2 k Q ˜ | f ( y ) | q d y ) 1 / q × ( 2 k + 1 Q ˜ 2 k Q ˜ | K ( x , y ) K ( x 0 , y ) | q d y ) 1 / q C j = 1 2 ( | α j | = m j D α j b j B M O ) k = 1 k 2 ( 2 k + C k ) f L ( w ) C j = 1 2 ( | α j | = m j D α j b j B M O ) f L ( w ) .

For I 5 ( 2 ) (x), by the formula (see [3]):

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

and Lemma 1, we have

| R m j ( b ˜ j ; x , y ) R m j ( b ˜ j ; x 0 , y ) | C | β | < m j | α | = m j | x x 0 | m j | β | | x y | | β | D α b j B M O ,

thus

| I 5 ( 2 ) ( x ) | C j = 1 2 ( | α j | = m j D α j b j B M O ) k = 0 2 k + 1 Q ˜ 2 k Q ˜ k | x x 0 | | x 0 y | n + 1 | f ( y ) | d y C j = 1 2 ( | α j | = m j D α j b j B M O ) k = 1 k 2 k f L ( w ) C j = 1 2 ( | α j | = m j D α j b j B M O ) f L ( w ) .

Similarly,

| I 5 ( 3 ) ( x ) | C j = 1 2 ( | α j | = m j D α j b j B M O ) f L ( w ) .

For I 5 ( 4 ) (x), similar to the proof of I 5 ( 1 ) (x) and I 5 ( 2 ) (x), we get

| I 5 ( 4 ) ( x ) | C | α 1 | = m 1 R n | R m 2 ( b ˜ 2 ; x , y ) R m 2 ( b ˜ 2 ; x 0 , y ) | | ( x 0 y ) α 1 K ( x 0 , y ) | | x 0 y | m × | D α 1 b ˜ 1 ( y ) | | f 2 ( y ) | d y + C | α 1 | = m 1 R n | ( x y ) α 1 | x y | m ( x 0 y ) α 1 | x 0 y | m | | K ( x , y ) | | R m 2 ( b ˜ 2 ; x , y ) | × | D α 1 b ˜ 1 ( y ) | | f 2 ( y ) | d y + C | α 1 | = m 1 R n | K ( x , y ) K ( x 0 , y ) | | ( x 0 y ) α 1 | x 0 y | m | | R m 2 ( b ˜ 2 ; x , y ) | × | D α 1 b ˜ 1 ( y ) | | f 2 ( y ) | d y C | α 2 | = m 2 D α 2 b 2 B M O k = 1 k 2 k | α 1 | = m 1 ( 1 | 2 k Q ˜ | 2 k Q ˜ | D α 1 b ˜ 1 ( y ) | d y ) f L ( w ) + C | α 2 | = m 2 D α 2 b 2 B M O | α 1 | = m 1 k = 0 k ( 2 k + 1 Q ˜ 2 k Q ˜ | K ( x , y ) K ( x 0 , y ) | q d y ) 1 / q × ( 2 k + 1 Q ˜ 2 k Q ˜ | D α 1 b ˜ 1 ( y ) | q d y ) 1 / q f L ( w ) C j = 1 2 ( | α j | = m j D α j b j B M O ) k = 1 k 2 ( 2 k + C k ) f L ( w ) C j = 1 2 ( | α j | = m j D α j b j B M O ) f L ( w ) .

Similarly,

| I 5 ( 5 ) ( x ) | C j = 1 2 ( | α j | = m j D α j b j B M O ) f L ( w ) .

For I 5 ( 6 ) (x), taking 1< r 1 , r 2 < such that 1/ r 1 +1/ r 2 =1, then

| I 5 ( 6 ) ( x ) | C | α 1 | = m 1 , | α 2 | = m 2 R n | ( x y ) α 1 + α 2 K ( x , y ) | x y | m ( x 0 y ) α 1 + α 2 K ( x 0 , y ) | x 0 y | m | × | D α 1 b ˜ 1 ( y ) | | D α 2 b ˜ 2 ( y ) | | f 2 ( y ) | d y C | α 1 | = m 1 , | α 2 | = m 2 k = 1 ( 2 k + C k ) f L ( w ) × ( 1 | 2 k Q ˜ | 2 k Q ˜ | D α 1 b ˜ 1 ( y ) | r 1 d y ) 1 / r 1 ( 1 | 2 k Q ˜ | 2 k Q ˜ | D α 2 b ˜ 2 ( y ) | r 2 d y ) 1 / r 2 C j = 1 2 ( | α j | = m j D α j b j B M O ) k = 1 k 2 ( 2 k + C k ) f L ( w ) C j = 1 2 ( | α j | = m j D α j b j B M O ) f L ( w ) .

Thus

I 5 C j = 1 2 ( | α j | = m j D α j b j B M O ) f L ( w ) .

This completes the proof of Theorem 1. □

Proof of Theorem 2 It is only for us to prove that there exists a constant C Q such that

1 w ( Q ) Q | T b ( f ) ( x ) C Q | w(x)dxC f B p ( w )

holds for any cube Q=Q(0,d) with d>1. Without loss of generality, we may assume l=2. Fix a cube Q=Q(0,d) with d>1. Let Q ˜ =5 n Q and b ˜ j (x)= b j (x) | α | = m j 1 α ! ( D α b j ) Q ˜ x α , then R m j ( b j ;x,y)= R m j ( b ˜ j ;x,y) and D α b ˜ j = D α b j ( D α b j ) Q ˜ for |α|= m j . Similar to the proof of Theorem 1, we write, for f 1 =f χ Q ˜ and f 2 =f χ R n Q ˜ ,

1 w ( Q ) Q | T b ( f ) ( x ) T b ˜ ( f 2 ) ( 0 ) | w ( x ) d x 1 w ( Q ) Q | T ( j = 1 2 R m j ( b ˜ j ; x , ) | x | m f 1 ) | w ( x ) d x + 1 w ( Q ) Q | T ( | α 1 | = m 1 1 α 1 ! R m 2 ( b ˜ 2 ; x , ) ( x ) α 1 D α 1 b ˜ 1 | x | m f 1 ) | w ( x ) d x + 1 w ( Q ) Q | T ( | α 2 | = m 2 1 α 2 ! R m 1 ( b ˜ 1 ; x , ) ( x ) α 2 D α 2 b ˜ 2 | x | m f 1 ) | w ( x ) d x + 1 w ( Q ) Q | T ( | α 1 | = m 1 , | α 2 | = m 2 1 α 1 ! α 2 ! ( x ) α 1 + α 2 D α 1 b ˜ 1 D α 2 b ˜ 2 | x | m f 1 ) | w ( x ) d x + 1 w ( Q ) Q | T b ˜ ( f 2 ) ( x ) T b ˜ ( f 2 ) ( 0 ) | w ( x ) d x = L 1 + L 2 + L 3 + L 4 + L 5 .

Similar to the proof of Theorem 1, we get

For L 2 , taking r,s,t>1 such that r<p, t=p p 0 /(pr), and 1/s+1/(p/r)+1/t=1, then, by the reverse of Hölder’s inequality,

L 2 C | α 2 | = m 2 D α 2 b 2 B M O | α 1 | = m 1 ( 1 w ( Q ) R n | T ( D α 1 b ˜ 1 f 1 ) ( x ) | r w ( x ) d x ) 1 / r C | α 2 | = m 2 D α 2 b 2 B M O w ( Q ) 1 / r | α 1 | = m 1 ( R n | D α 1 b ˜ 1 ( x ) f 1 ( x ) | r w ( x ) d x ) 1 / r C | α 2 | = m 2 D α 2 b 2 B M O w ( Q ) 1 / r | α 1 | = m 1 ( Q ˜ | D α b ˜ 1 ( x ) | r s d x ) 1 / r s × ( Q ˜ | f ( x ) | p w ( x ) d x ) 1 / p ( Q ˜ w ( x ) ( 1 r / p ) t d x ) 1 / r t C j = 1 2 ( | α j | = m j D α j b j B M O ) w ( Q ) 1 / r | Q | 1 / r s f χ Q ˜ L p ( w ) | Q | 1 / r t × ( 1 | Q ˜ | Q ˜ w ( x ) p 0 d x ) 1 / r t C j = 1 2 ( | α j | = m j D α j b j B M O ) w ( Q ) 1 / r | Q | 1 / r s f χ Q ˜ L p ( w ) ( 1 | Q ˜ | Q ˜ w ( x ) d x ) p 0 / r t C j = 1 2 ( | α j | = m j D α j b j B M O ) w ( Q ˜ ) 1 / p f χ Q ˜ L p ( w ) C j = 1 2 ( | α j | = m j D α j b j B M O ) f B p ( w ) , L 3 C j = 1 2 ( | α j | = m j D α j b j B M O ) f B p ( w ) .

For L 4 , taking r, s 1 , s 2 ,t>1 such that r<p, t=p p 0 /(pr), and 1/ s 1 +1/ s 2 +1/(p/r)+1/t=1, then, by the reverse of Hölder’s inequality,

For L 5 , similar to the proof of the proof of I 5 in Theorem 1, we have

T b ˜ ( f 2 ) ( x ) T b ˜ ( f 2 ) ( 0 ) = R n ( K ( x , y ) | x y | m K ( 0 , y ) | y | m ) j = 1 2 R m j ( b ˜ j ; x , y ) f 2 ( y ) d y + R n ( R m 1 ( b ˜ 1 ; x , y ) R m 1 ( b ˜ 1 ; 0 , y ) ) R m 2 ( b ˜ 2 ; x , y ) | y | m K ( 0 , y ) f 2 ( y ) d y + R n ( R m 2 ( b ˜ 2 ; x , y ) R m 2 ( b ˜ 2 ; 0 , y ) ) R m 1 ( b ˜ 1 ; x 0 , y ) | y | m K ( 0 , y ) f 2 ( y ) d y | α 1 | = m 1 1 α 1 !

For L 5 ( 1 ) (x), taking 1<r< such that 1/p+1/q+1/r=1, by w A 1 A p / r + 1 , we get

Similarly, we get, for 1< r 1 , r 2 , r 3 , r 4 ,s< with 1/p+1/ r 1 +1/s=1, 1/p+1/q+1/ r 2 +1/s=1, and 1/p+1/q+1/ r 3 +1/ r 4 +1/s=1,

Thus

L 5 C j = 1 2 ( α j | = m j D α j b j B M O ) f B p ( w ) .

This finishes the proof of Theorem 2. □
