Weighted Hardy operators and commutators on Morrey spaces (Q610721)

The authors discuss the Morrey space boundedness of the weighted Hardy operators \(U_\psi\) defined by \(U_\psi f(x)=\int_{0}^{1}f(tx)\psi(t)\,dt\) \((x\in \mathbb R^n)\), where \(\psi:[0,1)\to[0,\infty)\). When \(\psi\equiv 1\) and \(n=1\), this reduces to the classical Hardy operator \(U: Uf(x)=x^{-1}\int_{0}^{x}f(t)\,dt\). They show that when \(1<q<\infty\) and \(-1/q<\lambda<0\), \(U_\psi\) is bounded on the Morrey space \(L^{q,\lambda}(\mathbb R^n)\) if and only if \(\int_{0}^{1}t^{n\lambda }\psi(t)\,dt<\infty\), and \(\|U_\psi\|_{\text{op}}=\int_{0}^{1}t^{n\lambda }\psi(t)\,dt\). They also characterize those \(\psi\) for which the commutators of \(U_\psi\) and the function multipliers \(M_b\) are bounded on \(L^{q,\lambda}(\mathbb R^n)\) for all \(\text{BMO}(\mathbb R^n)\) functions \(b\). They give the same results for the Cesàro operators which are adjoint to \(U_\psi\), too. Their results generalize the corresponding ones in \(L^q(\mathbb R^n)\) spaces.
