Muckenhoupt inequality with three measures and applications to Sobolev orthogonal polynomials (Q2257672): Difference between revisions

The aim of the paper is to generalize the classical Muckenhoupt inequality considering three measures instead of two in such a way that for a positive constant \(c\) \(\| f \|_{L^p(\nu_1)} \leq c (\| f \|_{L^p(\nu_2)}+ \| f' \|_{L^p(\nu_3)})\) holds for all regular enough functions \(f\). First, the authors give a sufficient condition on the measures in order to satisfy the generalization of the Muckenhoupt inequality in the following way: ``If \(\nu_1, \nu_2\) and \(\nu_3\) are measures on \([a,b]\) and \(\Lambda_{p,b}((\nu_1-k\nu_2)_{+},\nu_3)< \infty\) for some constant \(k \geq 0\), then there exists a constant \(C\) such that \[ \| \int_a^x f(t)dt \|_{L^p([a,b], \nu_1) } \leq c \left( \| \int_a^x f(t)dt \|_{L^p([a,b], \nu_2) }+ \| f \|_{L^p([a,b], \nu_3) } \right) \] for any measurable function on \([a,b]\).'' Moreover they give several different hyphoteses for which the previous condition is also necessary and they also show a class of measures which do not satisfy the generalized inequality. As an application to weighted Sobolev spaces, the authors characterize the boundedness of the operator multiplication for a large class of measures, including the most usual examples in the theory of orthogonal polynomials. In this way they obtain a characterization of the boundedness of the zeros and the asymptotic behavior of some Sobolev orthogonal polynomials.
