No label defined (Q4953822)

The research of weighted inequalities for operators acting on monotone functions started in 1990 when the two fundamental papers [\textit{M. A. Ariño} and \textit{B. Muckenhoupt}, Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 320, 727-735 (1990; Zbl 0716.42016) and \textit{E. Sawyer}, Stud. Math. 96, No. 2, 145-158 (1990; Zbl 0705.42014)] appeared. The paper under review is a continuation of such a research and it is devoted to a characterization of weights \(\theta\), \(w\) and \(v\) for which the modular inequality \[ Q^{-1} \Biggl(\int^{\infty}_0 Q[\theta (Kf)]w\Biggr) \leq P^{-1} \Biggl(\int^{\infty}_0 P[Cf]v\Biggr) \] holds on the cone of non-negative monotone functions. Here \(K\) is a Hardy-type operator defined by \[ (Kf) (x) = \int^x_0k(x,y) f(y) dy, \quad x > 0, \] and the modular functions \(P,Q\) need not be convex.
