1. Introduction and Notation

Let us consider the Schrödinger operator in . The function is nonnegative, , and belongs to a reverse Hölder class , for some exponent ; that is, there exists a constant such that for every ball .

We introduce the definition of the reverse Hölder index of as . It is known that implies , for some . Therefore, under the assumption , we may conclude .

The classical Marcinkiewicz integral operator is defined by

The above operator was introduced by Stein in [1] as an extension of the notion of Marcinkiewicz function from one dimension to higher dimension. Meanwhile, Stein [1] showed that if , for some , then is a bounded operator on , for , and is a bounded map from to weak . Benedek et al. [2] showed that if is continuously differentiable in , then is a bounded operator on , for . Ding et al. [3] proved that the Marcinkiewicz function is bounded from to with satisfying cancelation condition on and -Dini condition.

Similar to the classical Marcinkiewicz function , we define the Marcinkiewicz integral associated with the Schrödinger operator by where and is the kernel of . In particular, when and is the kernel of .

We also give the definition of the commutator generalized by and by In this paper, we write and

For a given potential , with , we introduce the auxiliary function The above assumptions are finite, for all .

Proposition 1 (see [4]). There exist and such that for all .

In particular, , if . A ball is called critical.

Proposition 2 (see [5]). There exist a sequence of points in , so that the family , satisfies the following:(1);(2)there exists such that, for every , .

Function is an element of , if such that, for every ball , if , and if , where . Let be the smallest in the inequalities above. It is easy to verify that , for all .

Lemma 3 (see [6]). For any , there exists such that

Tang and Dong [6] have shown that Marcinkiewicz integral is bounded on , for , and are bounded from to weak . Meanwhile, they also proved that are bounded on and are also mapped from to under the assumption that satisfy the condition in Lemma 3.

Now, we introduce a new -type space of schrödinger operator. Let ; we define the class of locally integrable functions such that for all and , where . A norm for , denoted by , is given by the infimum of the constants in the inequalities above. Notice that if we let , we obtain the John-Nirenberg space .

With the above definition, we define . Clearly, , for , and hence . Moreover, it is in general a larger class.

For , we denote by the set of functions such that for all and . A norm for , denoted by , is given by the infimum of the constants in the inequalities above. Correspondingly, we define .

Next, we give some information on the Hardy space associated with Schrödinger operator . We say that a function is said to belong to , if the semigroup maximal operator is bounded on . The - norm of is given by , where is a semigroup generated by the Schrödinger operator (see [7]).

Shen [4] gave the following kernel estimate that we needed.

Lemma 4. If , then,(i)for every , there exists a constant such that (ii)for every and , there exists a constant such that where ,(iii)if denotes the vector valued kernel of the classical Riesz operator, for every , we have where .

Inspired by [6], we consider the same boundedness of Marcinkiewicz integral whose kernel satisfies Lemma 4 and -boundedness of its commutator for and -boundedness.

Theorem 5. The operators are bounded on , for , and are bounded from to weak . On the other hand, are bounded on and are bounded from to .

In the note, we devote ourselves to establish the following boundedness of the commutators of Marcinkiewicz integral of schrodinger operator type.

Theorem 6. Let , , and such that = , where is the reverse Hölder index of ; then, for all , we have where .

Theorem 7. Let and ; if satisfies the stronger condition , then are bounded from to .

Throughout this paper, denotes the constants that are independent of the main parameters involved but whose value may differ from line to line. By , we mean that there exists a constant such that . We use the symbol to denote that there exists a positive constant such that .

2. Notation and Preliminaries

Denote the following maximal functions for , , and : where and .

Lemma 8 (Fefferman-Stein type inequality [8]). For , there exist and such that if is a sequence of balls as that in Proposition , then for all .

Lemma 9 (see [9]). Let and . If , then for all , with and , where and is the constant appearing in Proposition 1.

Lemma 10 (see [9]). Let , , and ; then for all , with as in Lemma 9.

Next, we introduce our important Lemmas.

We denoted by the Hardy-Littlewood maximal function and, for , by , the operator is defined as .

Lemma 11. Let , and . Then, for any , there exists a constant such that for all and every ball .

Proof. Let and . We first observe and so we have to deal with the average on of each term.
Thanks to Hölder's inequality with and Lemma 10, one has
Let with ; then -boundedness of , for , says that Now, for , and using Lemma 4 and Minkowski's inequality, we get
For the second term, we split again . By choosing and denoting , by the boundedness of on and Hölder's inequality, we obtain where, in the last inequality, we have used Lemma 9.
For the remaining term, let , using Lemma 9 , Lemma 10, and Minkowski's inequality, we arrive to Since can be chosen large enough, the last series converges. Thus, we finished the proof.

Remark 12. It is easy to check that if the critical ball is replaced by , the above lemma also holds.

Lemma 13. Let and , then, for any and , there exists a constant such that for all , with and as in Lemma 11.

Proof. We write Since the estimates for and follow along similar lines, we only consider . By denoting , since in our situation and , by Minkowski's inequality and Lemma 4, we have
Splitting into annuli, we have where is the least integer such that .
By Hölder's inequality and Lemma 10, we obtain, for , Then,
To deal with , by using Lemma 10 and choosing , we have
For , again by Minkowski's inequality and in our situation and , we get
Thanks to Hölder's inequality and Lemma 10, we have
To deal with , similarly as , we have We have completed the proof of the lemma.

3. The Boundedness of Marcikiewicz Integral and Its Commutator

In this section, we first employ the same technique in [6] to prove Theorem 5.

Proof. Similarly as [6], it suffices to prove the following pointwise estimate: where denotes the Hardy-Littlewood operator.
Fix and let . Notice that
For , by Lemma 4, we have
Obviously,
For , using Lemma 4 again, we get
It remains to estimate . From Lemma 4, we obtain
With the help of the -boundedness and weak -boundedness of and , we can get the same boundedness of .
For the -boundedness and -boundedness of , we only make similar modification in the procedure of the same estimate in [6]. Here, we omit it.

Next we will establish some boundedness for the commutator of Marcinkiewicz integral of Schrödinger operator type.

We start with the proof of Theorem 6.

Proof. For any function with , we notice that, due to Lemma 11, we have .
By using Lemma 8 and Lemma 11 with , and Remark 12, we have
By the finite overlapping property given by Proposition 2 and the boundedness of in , the second term is controlled by . Thus, we have to take care of the first term.
Our goal is to find a point-wise estimate of . Let and , with such that . If , with , then we write
Let ; an application of Hölder's inequality and Lemma 10 gives since .
To estimate , let and . Then,
For , using Lemma 13, we get
Therefore, we have proved that
Since , we obtain the desired result.

Finally, we will prove Theorem 7.

Proof. Let and . From Proposition 2, we only consider averages over critical ball. Thanks to Lemma 11, one gets
Next, we deal with the oscillations; let with . Lemma 11 states that the function belongs to .
We write and its mean oscillations on as , , and .
The estimates for the terms and are the same with and in Theorem 6. Due to the boundedness of in , for , and Lemma 13, we get that and are bounded by .
To deal with , we fix and write where , with and . We denoted each oscillation , , , and .
We observe that and are finite, for any , since and
We will see that , , and are bounded under the condition .
For , by choosing such that is bounded on , we have
To deal with , we claim for any and in .
It is easy to see that
Since the estimates for and follow along similar lines, we only consider . Since , by Minkowski's inequality and Lemma 4, we have
For , again thanks to the Minkowski's inequality, Lemma 4, and , we obtain
Thus, the claim is completed.
Then,
That is a consequence of (54).
Therefore, the theorem will follow, if there exists a constant such that, for any and ,
Using Minkowski's inequality,
Since , we conclude that (61) holds proving the boundedness of .
