On a Hilbert-type operator with a class of homogeneous kernels (Q1035513)

Suppose that \(p, r>1\), \(\frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{q}=1\), \(\frac{1}{r}+\frac{1}{s}=1\), \(\lambda>0\) and the symmetric kernel \(k_{\lambda}(x,y)(\geq 0)\) is a homogeneous function of \(-\lambda\)-degree, \(k_\lambda(r)=\int_0^\infty k_\lambda(u,1)u^{\lambda/r-1}du\) is a positive number, both \(k_\lambda(u,1)u^{\lambda/r-1}du\) and \(k_\lambda(1,u)u^{\lambda/s-1}du\) are decreasing in \((0,\infty)\) and strictly decreasing in a subinterval of \((0,\infty)\), and \(a_n,b_n\geq 0\), \(a=\{a_n\}_{n=1}^\infty\in l^p_\varphi\), \(b=\{b_n\}_{n=1}^\infty\in l^q_\psi,\) \(\|a||_{p,\varphi}>0\), \(\|b\|_{q,\psi}>0\). The author uses the way of weight coefficient and the theory of operators to define a Hilbert-type operator with a class of homogeneous kernels. He proves that the following inequalities are equivalent: \[ (Ta,b)=\sum_{n=1}^\infty\sum_{m=1}^\infty k_{\lambda}(m,n)a_mb_n<k_\lambda(r)\|a\|_{p,\varphi}\|b\|_{q,\psi} \] and \[ \|Ta\|^p_{p,\psi^{1-p}}=\sum_{n=1}^\infty n^{p\lambda/s-1}\left(\sum_{m=1}^\infty k_{\lambda}(m,n)a_m\right)^{p}<k_\lambda^p(r)\|a\|^p_{p,\varphi}\,, \] where the constants \(k_\lambda(r)\) and \(k_\lambda^p(r)\) are the best possible.
