L^p-L^q estimates for maximal operators associated to families of finite type curves

Publication date: 22 February 2017

Abstract: We study the boundedness problem for maximal operators

m a t h b b M

associated to averages along families of finite type curves in the plane, defined by

mathbb{M}f(x) , := , sup_{1 leq t leq 2} left|int_{mathbb{C}} f(x-ty) , ho(y) , dsigma(y) ight|,

where

d s i g m a

denotes the normalised Lebesgue measure over the curves

m a t h b b C

. Let

r i a n g l e

be the closed triangle with vertices

P = (f r a c 25, f r a c 15), Q = (f r a c 12, f r a c 12), R = (0, 0) .

In this paper, we prove that for

(f r a c 1 p, f r a c 1 q) i n (r i a n g l e s e t m i n u s P, Q) c a p l e f t (f r a c 1 p, f r a c 1 q) : q > m i g h t

, there is a constant

B

such that

| m a t h b b M f |_{L^{q} (m a t h b b R^{2})} l e q, B, | f |_{L^{p} (m a t h b b R^{2})}

. Furthermore, if

m < 5,

then we have

| m a t h b b M f |_{L^{5, i n f t y} (m a t h b b R^{2})} l e q B | f |_{L^{f r a c 52, 1} (m a t h b b R^{2})} .

We shall also consider a variable coefficient version of maximal theorem and we obtain the

L^{p} - L^{q}

boundedness result for

(f r a c 1 p, f r a c 1 q) i n r i a n g l e^{c i r c} c a p l e f t (f r a c 1 p, f r a c 1 q) : q > m i g h t,

where

r i a n g l e^{c i r c}

is the interior of the triangle with vertices

(0, 0), (f r a c 12, f r a c 12), (f r a c 25, f r a c 15) .

An application is given to obtain

L^{p} - L^{q}

estimates for solution to higher order, strictly hyperbolic pseudo-differential operators.
