Variable anisotropic singular integral operators (Q6076971)

The boundedness of singular integral operators is one of the central topics of harmonic analysis. In this paper, the authors introduce a new class of variable anisotropic singular integral operators associated to a continuous multi-level ellipsoid cover \(\Theta\) of \(\mathbb{R}^n\) introduced by \textit{W. Dahmen} et al. [Constr. Approx. 31, No. 2, 149--194 (2010; Zbl 1195.46030)]. Indeed, the ellipsoid cover \(\Theta\) defines a space of homogeneous type with quasi-distance \[\rho_\Theta(x,y):=\inf_{\theta\in \Theta}\{|\theta|:\ x,\,y\in\theta\},\] and the variable anisotropic singular integral operators are defined via this quasi-distance. This concept is an extension of the classical isotropic singular integral operators on \(\mathbb{R}^n\) of arbitrary smoothness and also their anisotropic analogues for general expansive matrices introduced by the first author [Anisotropic Hardy spaces and wavelets. Providence, RI: American Mathematical Society (AMS) (2003; Zbl 1036.42020)]. As the main result of this paper, the authors obtain the boundedness of these new variable anisotropic singular integral operators \(T\) from the Hardy space with pointwise variable anisotropy \(H^p(\Theta)\) to itself, and also from \(H^p(\Theta)\) to the space \(L^p(\mathbb{R^n})\) for full range \(0<p\le 1\), provided regularity and vanishing moments of \(T\) are met analogous to the isotropic case. In contrast with the general theory of Hardy spaces on spaces of homogenous type, one advantage of these results is the parameter \(p\) reaching full range \((0,1]\).
