Weighted inequalities of Hardy-type on amalgams (Q1047487): Difference between revisions

The aim of the authors is to characterize weighted Hardy-type inequalities between suitable amalgams \(l^q(L^p,u)\) and \(l^{\bar{q}}(L^{\bar{q}},u)\). First, they characterize the boundedness of the operator \(T = T_1 + T_2\), where \(T_1 \) and \(T_2\) are discrete Hardy operators, not necessarily non-negative, between suitable weighted sequence spaces. We recall that for the continuous case, the operator \(T\) has been studied by \textit{P. A. Zharov} [Proc. Steklov Inst. Math. 194, 101--114 (1993); translation from Tr. Mat. Steklova 194, 97--110 (1992; Zbl 0811.26007)], or by \textit{A. Kufner} and \textit{L.-E. Persson} [``Weighted inequalities of Hardy type'', Singapore: World Scientific (2003; Zbl 1065.26018)]. Next, the authors study the boundedness of operators of the kind \(S=S_1+S_2\) associated to general functions not necessarily non-negative. The boundedness of the operators \(S_1\) and \(S_2\) in some special case has been studied by Carton-Lebrun, Heinig and Hofmann, while in a more general case but for non-negative related functions, the \(L^p\)-\(L^q\) boundedness of \(S_1\) and \(S_2\) has been obtained by Stephanov.
