A problem in \(H^ p({\mathbb{R}}_ +^ 2\times {\mathbb{R}}_ +^ 2)\) spaces (Q914127)

The author proves the following theorem: If \(f=\sum \lambda_ ka_ k\), where each \(a_ k\) is a p-atom and \(\sum | \lambda_ k|^ p<\infty\), then \(f\in H^ p({\mathbb{R}}^ 2_+\times {\mathbb{R}}^ 2_+).\) This theorem, together with a result of Fefferman, yields an atomic decomposition of \(H^ p({\mathbb{R}}^ 2_+\times {\mathbb{R}}^ 2_+)\). In particular, for small p, a p-atom only needs to have a vanishing property of order \(k(p)=(1/p)-1\).
