Weighted inequalities and pointwise estimates for the multilinear fractional integral and maximal operators (Q968857)

The author proves weighted norm inequalities and pointwise estimates between the multilinear fractional integral operators and the multilinear fractional maximal. As a consequence, the author obtains weighted weak and strong inequalities for the multilinear fractional maximal operator or function. In particular, the author extends some results given in [\textit{M. J. Carro}, \textit{C. Pérez}, \textit{F. Soria} and \textit{J. Soria}, Indiana Univ. Math. J. 54, No. 3, 627--644 (2005; Zbl 1078.42010)] to the multilinear context, on the other hand, the author proves weighted pointwise estimates between the multilinear fractional maximal operators \(M_{\alpha,B}\) associated to a Young function \(B\) and the multilinear maximal function \(M_\psi= M_{0,\psi}\), where \(\psi(t)= B(t^{1-\alpha/(nm)})^{nm/(nm-\alpha)}\). As an application, the author obtains a direct proof of the \(L^p\to L^q\) boundedness of \(M_{\alpha,B}\) for the case \(B(t)= t\) and \(B_k(t)= t(1+ \log^+t)^k\) when \(1/q= 1/p-\alpha/n\). The author also gives some boundedness results in Banach function spaces for a generalized version of the multilinear fractional maximal operators.
