Abstract

Let for be a homogeneous function of degree zero and be BMO functions. In this paper, we obtain some boundedness of the parametric Marcinkiewicz integral operator and its higher-order commutator on Herz spaces with variable exponent.

1. Introduction

Function spaces with variable exponent are being concerned with strong interest not only in harmonic analysis but also in applied mathematics. In the past 27 years, the theory of function spaces with variable exponent has made great progress since some elementary properties were given by Kováčik and Rákosník [1] in 1991. In [26], the authors proved the boundedness of some integral operators on variable spaces, respectively. Lebesgue and Sobolev spaces with integrability exponent have been widely studied; see [3, 5] and the references therein. Many applications of these spaces were given, for example, in the modeling of electrorheological fluids, in the study of image processing, and in differential equations with nonstandard growth.

On the other hand, a class of function spaces called Herz-type spaces on has attracted considerable attention in recent years because the interesting norm includes explicitly both local and global information of the function. In 2011, Izuki [7] studied the Herz spaces with variable exponent and proved the boundedness of some sublinear operators on the spaces. In addition, Wang and Liu [8] introduced a certain Herz-type Hardy spaces with variable exponent in 2012.

Suppose that denotes the unit sphere in equipped with normalized Lebesgue measure. Let for be a homogeneous function of degree zero andwhere for any . In 1958, Stein [9] introduced the Marcinkiewicz integral related to the Littlewood-Paley function on as follows: where It was shown that is of type for and of weak type .

The parametric Marcinkiewicz integral is defined by where

Let and , the higher-order commutator generated by the parametric Marcinkiewicz integral and is defined by

Motivated by [10, 11], we will study the boundedness for the parametric Marcinkiewicz integral operator and its commutator on the Herz spaces with variable exponent, where for .

2. Preliminaries

Firstly we give some notation and basic definitions on variable Lebesgue spaces. Given an open set , and a measurable function . is the conjugate exponent defined by

Define to be set of such that The set consists of all satisfying

By we denote the space of all measurable functions on such that for some , This is a Banach function space with respect to the Luxemburg-Nakano norm

The space is defined by

Let ; the Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator is defined by where . The set consists of satisfying the condition that is bounded on .

In variable spaces there are some important lemmas as follows.

Next we recall the definition of the Herz spaces with variable exponent.

Definition 5 (see [7]). Let , and . The homogeneous Herz space consists of all such that The nonhomogeneous Herz space is defined as the set of all such that

3. Boundedness of the Parametric Marcinkiewicz Integral Operator

In this section we will prove the boundedness of the parametric Marcinkiewicz integral operators on Herz spaces with variable exponent.

Theorem 11. Suppose that , , satisfies conditions (13) and (14) in Lemma 1; and . Then is bounded on and .

Since , by the Hölder inequality we haveIf , then we haveThus by (28), (29) and (40), (41), (48), and (49) we complete the proof of Theorem 11.

4. BMO Estimate for the Higher-Order Commutator of Parametric Marcinkiewicz Integral Operator

Let us first recall that the space consists of all locally integrable functions such that where , the supremum is taken over all cubes with sides parallel to the coordinate axes, and denotes the Lebesgue measure of .

Let . The weighted boundedness of has been proved by Shi and Jiang [12].

Lemma 12 (see [12]). Suppose that satisfying (1). If and , then for any , there is a constant , independent of , such that

Next, we will give the corresponding result about the commutator on Herz spaces with variable exponent.

Theorem 13. Suppose that satisfies conditions (13) and (14) in Lemma 1; and . Then is bounded on and .

In the proof of Theorem 13, we also need the following lemma.

Lemma 14 (see [15]). Let , be a positive integer, and be a ball in . Then we have that, for all and all with , where and .

We consider Note that , and , and we know that . By (31), the Minkowski inequality, and the generalized Hölder inequality we have Similarly, we consider . Noting that , by the Minkowski inequality and the generalized Hölder inequality, we have So we have Noting , we denote and . By Lemmas 8 and 9 we have When and , by Lemma 10 we have When we have So we obtain
