A note on commutators of Hardy operators (Q2905244)

\textit{Z. W. Fu} et al. [Sci. China, Ser. A 50, No. 10, 1418--1426 (2007; Zbl 1131.42012)] showed that the commutator NEWLINE\[NEWLINE H_{\beta,b}(f):=bH_{\beta}(f)-H_{\beta}(bf), NEWLINE\]NEWLINE where \(H_{\beta}\) is the fractional Hardy operator NEWLINE\[NEWLINE H_{\beta}(f)(x):=\frac{1}{\left| x\right| ^{n-\beta}}\int_{\left| y\right| <\left| x\right| }f(y)dy \quad x\in\mathbb{R}^{n}\setminus\left\{ 0\right\} NEWLINE\]NEWLINE and \(b\) a locally integrable function, is bounded on the homogenous Herz spaces if and only if \(b\) is a central bounded mean oscillation function. The author proves that their result is optimal by giving a counterexample.
