Inversion of some Riesz potentials with oscillating characteristics in the nonelliptic case (Q1589111)

The authors consider the problem of inversion of the potential type operator \[ K^\alpha_\theta f(x) = \int_{\mathbb{R}^n}\frac{\theta(x-y)}{|x-y|^{n-\alpha}}f(y) dy, \qquad 0<\Re\alpha <n, \] when the function \(\theta(x)\) (called the characteristic of the potential) is allowed to vanish and oscillate simultaneously: \[ \theta(x)=a\cdot \frac{x}{|x|} e^{i\gamma|x|}, \qquad a\in \mathbb{R}^n, \quad \gamma > 0 . \] In this case the symbol (Fourier transform of the kernel) vanishes at the hyperplane \(a\cdot x=0\). The authors use the method of approximative inverse operators and construct a sequence \(\{T_\varepsilon\}\) of convolution operators \(T_\varepsilon\) such that \(T_\varepsilon K^\alpha_\theta f\) converges to \(f\) almost everywhere or in \(L^p(\mathbb{R}^n)+ L^r(\mathbb{R}^n)\) if \[ 1<p<\min\left\{\frac{2n}{n-1},\frac{n}{\alpha}\right\}, \qquad r>\frac{1}{1-p\;\frac{n-1}{2n}} \] and either \(0<\alpha<1 \) or \(n-2\leq \alpha <n\).
