\(L^{\infty}\)-BMO boundedness of some pseudo-differential operators (Q6110677)

The authors introduce a new Hörmander class of symbols \(\mathcal{S}^{m}_{\rho}(\ln^{6} L)\), which satisfies \(\mathcal{S}^{m}_{\rho, \delta} \subsetneqq \mathcal{S}^{m}_{\rho}(\ln^{6} L) \subsetneqq \mathcal{S}^{m}_{\rho, 1}\) for \(0 \leq \delta < 1\), where \(\mathcal{S}^{m}_{\rho, \delta}\) is the classical Hörmander class. A symbol \(a( \cdot )\) belongs to \(\mathcal{S}^{m}_{\rho}(\ln^{6} L)\) (\(m \in \mathbb{R}\),\ \(0 \leq \rho \leq 1\)) if \[ \sup_{x, \xi \in \mathbb{R}^{n}} (1+|\xi|)^{-m+\rho N-M} \ln^{6M}(2+|\xi|) \left|\nabla_{\xi}^{N} \nabla_{x}^{M} a(x, \xi)\right| < \infty, \] for every \(N, M \in \mathbb{N} = \{ 0, 1, 2,\dots\}\). The main result in this article is the obtaining of the \((L^{\infty}, \mathrm{BMO})\) estimate for pseudo-differential operators with symbols belonging to the class \(\mathcal{S}^{\frac{n(\rho -1)}{2}}_{\rho}(\ln^{6} L)\), \(0 \leq \rho < 1\). This result is an improvement of Theorem 3.2-(c) in [\textit{J. Alvarez} and \textit{J. Hounie}, Ark. Mat. 28, No. 1, 1--22 (1990; Zbl 0713.35106)].
