Norm inequalities for potential-type operators (Q910529)

The purpose of this paper is to derive norm inequalities for potentials of the form \[ Tf(x)=\int_{{\mathbb{R}}^ n}f(y)K(x,y)dy,\quad x\in {\mathbb{R}}^ n, \] when K is a kernel which satisfies estimates like those that hold for the Green function associated with the degenerate elliptic equations studied by the first and the third author [Ann. Sc. Norm. Super. Pisa, Cl. Sci., IV. Ser. 15, No.2, 309-340 (1988; Zbl 0688.35002)] and by \textit{E. Fabes}, \textit{D. Jerison} and \textit{C. Kenig} [Ann. Inst. Fourier 32, No.3, 151-182 (1982; Zbl 0488.35034)].
