Sharp weighted multidimensional integral inequalities for increasing functions. (Q2707686)

The author considers integral operators of type \(Tf(x)=\int _{\mathbb R^n_{+}}f(y) \,d\sigma ^{x}(y)\) on the cone of non-negative and non-decreasing functions in \(\mathbb R^n_{+}\), where, for every \(x\) in some \(\sigma \)-finite measure space, \(\sigma ^{x}(\cdot )\) is a positive measure in \(\mathbb R^n\). For a couple of operators of this type, \(T_1\) and \(T_2\), corresponding to measures \(\sigma _1^{x}\) and \(\sigma _2^{x}\), and two weight functions \(u\) and \(v\) in \(\mathbb R^n\), there is proved a general theorem on the characterization of \(L^p\)-boundedness \(\| T_1f\mid L_{p}(u)\| \leq C_n \| T_2f\mid L_{q}(u)\| \) for \(0<p\leq 1<q<\infty \) and also for some other variants of the relations between \(p\) and \(q\) when \(T_1\) or \(T_2\) is the identical operator. It is shown that the restriction of the operators to non-decreasing functions permits to require their appropriate behaviour only on special sets of characteristic functions in contrast to well-known theorems on two weight inequalities in the Lebesgue spaces (conditions of the Sawyer type). This general condition is also simplified for the case of product weights, that is, \(u(x)=u_1(x_1)\dots u_n(x_n)\) and similarly for \(v\).NEWLINENEWLINEFor the entire collection see [Zbl 0933.00035].
