No label defined (Q3977044)

Let \(-\infty \leq a < b \leq +\infty,\) let \(\phi \) be a non-negative function on \({\mathbf R}^ 2,\) and let \(\sigma\) and \(\omega\) be Borel measures on \((a,b).\) Consider the operator \(T_ \phi,\) given by \(T_ \phi(f)(x)=\int_ a^ x \phi (t,x) f(t) d\sigma(t).\) Under certain restrictions on \(\phi,\) one can give necessary and sufficient conditions on \(\sigma \) and \(\omega\) for \(T_ \phi\) to be bounded from \(L^ p ((a,b), d\sigma)\) to \(L^ q((a,b), d\omega)\). This paper extends recent results of Martin-Reyes and Sawyer on this problem. \textit{Caveat lector}: The paper is not clearly presented. For instance, a nonnegative function \(\phi\) on \({\mathbf R}^ 2\) is called nonincreasing if \(\phi(x,y) \leq \phi(u,v)\) whenever \(x\leq u\) and \(y \leq v,\) and the main theorem considers nonincreasing functions \(\phi\) which are homogeneous of degree \(0,\) i.e., constant. A look at the proofs shows that this definition is not what is needed. So one corrects the definition, and then \(\ldots.\) The interested reader may wish to find out.
