Weighted kernel operators in variable exponent amalgam spaces (Q394662): Difference between revisions

Let \(I\) be \(\mathbb{R}\) (or the half line \(\mathbb{R}_+\)) and \(\alpha=\{I_n: \; n\in\mathbb{Z}\}\) be a covering of \(I\) consisting of disjoint half-open intervals \(I_n\) whose union is \(I\). Let also \(1<q<\infty\) and \(p: I \rightarrow (1,\infty)\) be a measurable exponent such that \[ 1<p_{-} := \text{ess\,inf} \;p(x) \leq \text{ess\,sup} \;p(x)=: p_{+} < \infty. \] Given a weight function \(\rho\) on \(I\), the \textit{variable exponent amalgam space} \(\left(L^{p(\cdot)}_\rho(I), l^q\right)_\alpha\) consists of all measurable functions \(f\) on \(I\) such that \[ \|f\|_{\left(L^{p(\cdot)}_\rho(I), l^q\right)_\alpha}:= \left( \sum_{n\in\mathbb{Z}} \|\chi_{I_n}\,f\|^q_{L^{p(\cdot)}_{\rho}(I)} \right)^{1/q} < \infty, \] where \(L^{p(\cdot)}_\rho(I)\) denotes the (weighted) variable exponent Lebesgue space equipped with the norm \[ \|g\|_{L^{p(\cdot)}_\rho(I)} = \inf \left\{\lambda>0: \int_I \big(|g(x)|/\lambda\big)^{p(x)} \rho(x)\,dx \leq 1\right\}. \] The authors study weighted kernel operators of the form \[ K_vf(x)= v(x) \int_0^x k(x,t)\, f(t) \, dt, \;\;\;x>0, \;\;\text{and} \;\;\mathcal{K}_vf(x)= v(x) \int_{-\infty}^x k(x,t)\, f(t) \, dt, \;\;x\in\mathbb{R}, \] and give necessary and sufficient conditions on the weight \(v\) for the boundeness and compactness of such operators acting on the spaces \(\left(L^{p(\cdot)}_\rho(I), l^q\right)_\alpha\), under the standard \(\log\)-Hölder continuity assumption on the exponents.
