First, the author presents a non-homogeneous variant of the Littlewood-Paley decomposition, basing on suitable weight functions \(q(\xi): \mathbb{R}^n\to\mathbb{R}_+\). Namely, the standard dyadic corona is here replaced by the set \[ 2^{j-1}/K\leq q(\xi)\leq K2^{j+1}. \] Weighted Sobolev spaces \(H^s_q\) are then characterized in terms of such decomposition. In the second section, the author presents a corresponding non-homogeneous version of the paramultiplication of \textit{J.-M. Bony} [Ann. Sci. Ec. Norm. Super. IV. Ser. 14, 161-205 (1981; Zbl 0495.35024)]. As an application, spaces \(H^s_q\) are shown to be an algebra and semilinear equations with \(q\)-hypoelliptic linear principal part are treated. Microlocal properties are finally studied in the preceding frame, with further interesting applications to semilinear equations.
