Let \(B_k=\{x\in {\mathbb R}^n; |x|\leq 2^k\}\) and \(C_k=B_k \setminus B_{k-1}\) for \(k\in \mathbb Z\). Let \(\chi_k\) denote the characteristic function of the set \(C_k\). Suppose \(-\infty<\alpha<\infty\), \(0<p,q\leq\infty\) and \(\omega_1\) and \(\omega_2\) be non-negative weight functions. The homogeneous Herz space \(\dot K_q^{\alpha, p}(\omega_1, \omega_2)\) is defined in terms of \[ \|f\|_{\dot K_q^{\alpha, p}(\omega_1, \omega_2)}=\biggl\{\sum_{k\in \mathbb Z} [\omega_1(B_k)]^{\alpha p/n}\|f\chi_{k}\|_{L^q(\omega_2)}^p\biggr\}^{1/p} \] by letting \[ \dot K_q^{\alpha, p}(\omega_1, \omega_2)=\{f\in L_{\text{loc}}^q( \mathbb R^n\setminus \{0\}, \omega_2);\;\|f\|_{\dot K_q^{\alpha, p}(\omega_1, \omega_2)}<\infty\}. \] Let \(\Phi\) be a nonnegative locally integral function on \({\mathbb R}^n\) satisfying \[ \sup_{x\in B_k\setminus B_{k-1}}\Phi(x)\leq C|B_k|^{-1}\int_{B_k\setminus B_{k-1}}\Phi(x) dx, \quad k\in{ \mathbb Z}. \] \(|x|^{\beta-n}\) \((0<\beta<n)\) is an example. One of the authors' result is: Let \(1<q_1\leq q_2<\infty\), \(0<p_1\leq p_2<\infty\), \(0<\alpha <n(1-1/q_1)\), \(\omega\in A_\infty(\mathbb R^n)\), \(\nu\in A_{q_1}(\mathbb R^n)\) and \(\omega_1=\nu^{-1/(q_1-1)}\). Then the integral operator \(T_\Phi\) defined by \(T_\Phi f(x)=\int_{\mathbb R^n}\Phi(x-y)f(y) dy\) is bounded from \(\|f\|_{\dot K_{q_1}^{\alpha, p_1}(\omega_1, \nu)}\) to \(\|f\|_{\dot K_{q_2}^{\alpha, p_2}(\omega_1, \omega)}\) if either of the following holds; (i) \(T_\Phi\) is bounded from \(L_{\nu}^{q_1}(\mathbb R^n)\) to \(L_{\omega}^{q_2}(\mathbb R^n)\), (ii) \(\exists C>0\) such that \(\int_{|x|\leq |Q|^{1/n}}\Phi(x) dx|Q|^{-1}[\omega(Q)]^{1/q_2} [\omega_1(Q)]^{1-1/q_1}\leq C\) for all cubes \(Q\subset \mathbb R^n\). This result corresponds to a work of Pérez in the case of the weighted Lebesgue spaces \(L_\omega^p\) [\textit{C. Pérez}, Indiana Univ. Math. J. 43, No. 2, 663-683 (1994; Zbl 0809.42007)]. The authors apply their results to the usual Riesz fractional integral operator \(I_\beta\). They also treat the weighted weak boundedness case and the weighted Herz-type Hardy space case.
