Muckenhoupt inequality with three measures and applications to Sobolev orthogonal polynomials (Q2257672)

The aim of the paper is to generalize the classical Muckenhoupt inequality considering three measures instead of two in such a way that for a positive constant \(c\) \(\| f \|_{L^p(\nu_1)} \leq c (\| f \|_{L^p(\nu_2)}+ \| f' \|_{L^p(\nu_3)})\) holds for all regular enough functions \(f\). First, the authors give a sufficient condition on the measures in order to satisfy the generalization of the Muckenhoupt inequality in the following way: ``If \(\nu_1, \nu_2\) and \(\nu_3\) are measures on \([a,b]\) and \(\Lambda_{p,b}((\nu_1-k\nu_2)_{+},\nu_3)< \infty\) for some constant \(k \geq 0\), then there exists a constant \(C\) such that \[ \| \int_a^x f(t)dt \|_{L^p([a,b], \nu_1) } \leq c \left( \| \int_a^x f(t)dt \|_{L^p([a,b], \nu_2) }+ \| f \|_{L^p([a,b], \nu_3) } \right) \] for any measurable function on \([a,b]\).'' Moreover they give several different hyphoteses for which the previous condition is also necessary and they also show a class of measures which do not satisfy the generalized inequality. As an application to weighted Sobolev spaces, the authors characterize the boundedness of the operator multiplication for a large class of measures, including the most usual examples in the theory of orthogonal polynomials. In this way they obtain a characterization of the boundedness of the zeros and the asymptotic behavior of some Sobolev orthogonal polynomials.
