The first one is an estimate from into . We get a better range of admissible and . The second one is a weighted version bounded for the operators on , and it is an addition to the literature.

1. Introduction

The purpose of this paper is to study some sufficient conditions for the boundedness of pseudodifferential operators T on weighted Hardy space , where the operators T have symbols in the Hölmander class . As in [1], for and , a symbol is a smooth function defined on such thatholds for all multi-indices , where is independent of x and ξ. We now assume that the symbol is smooth in both the spatial variable x and the frequency variable ξ.

Given , the pseudodifferential operator associated with the symbol is given bywhere denotes the Fourier transform of f. Moreover, we can express T by a kernel as (see, e.g., [2])

Pseudodifferential operators play an important role in the theory of partial differential equations. It is well known that the Hardy spaces coincide with the Lebesgue spaces when . The and weighted boundedness of the operator have been extensively studied. We refer to [1, 2, 3, 4] for the bounds and [5, 6, 7, 8] for the weighted bounds.

For , there is an estimate from into weak for the pseudodifferential operator (cf. [5]). As known, the Hardy space is an advantageous substitute for . The behavior of the pseudodifferential operator T on has attracted a lot of interest. For example, Alvarez and Hounie [5] have found that the pseudodifferential operator T with symbol in is bounded from into , where , and . Hounie and Kapp [9] have shown that the operator T with and is bounded from the local Hardy space into . Yabuta [10] has proved the operator T involving a modulus of continuity is bounded from into .

The bounds of the pseudodifferential operator T from the weighted Hardy space into the weighted Lebesgue space have also been studied. Yabuta [11] has found that the operator T is bounded from into , where and . In view of this, it is natural to look for a wide range of operator T in to study the bounds on the weighted Hardy space .

In this paper, we establish two estimates for the pseudodifferential operator T with symbols in . The first one is an estimate from into . We extend the result in Yabuta [11] to with and the operator T with , , and . Our first main result is stated as follows.

Theorem 1. Let , , and with , . If , then T is bounded from into , i.e., there exists a constant such that

The second one is an estimate on weighted Hardy spaces for the pseudodifferential operator T. It is well known that under certain conditions of , the operator T is bounded on (cf. [9, 12]). Alvarez and Hounie [5] have found that the pseudodifferential operator T is bounded on , where with , , and for some . It is natural to look for a weighted version estimate on . We now state our second main result.

Theorem 2. Let , , , and with , . Assume and . Then, T is bounded on ; i.e., there exists a constant such that

The remainder of this paper is organized as follows. In Section 2, we present some definitions and well-known results we use later. The aim of Section 3 is to set up the estimate from into for pseudodifferential operators T in . We develop a method to handle (see Proposition 1). The aim of Section 4 is to establish the estimate on weighted Hardy spaces for pseudodifferential operators T in .

Most of the notations we use are standard. C denotes a constant that may change from line to line and we write as shorthand for . If and , we mean . For a measurable set A, denotes the Lebesgue measure of A and the characteristic function. B will always denote a ball, and denotes the ball B dilated by t.

2. Notations and Auxiliary Lemma

In this section, we first present an auxiliary lemma about the pseudodifferential operator T associated with the kernel . Let be the class of Schwartz functions and be its dual space. The space of -function with compact support is denoted by . Pseudodifferential operators are bounded from to and so possess distribution kernels . Then, the following formula for the kernel is useful (cf. Proposition 3.1 in [9]; see also [5]).

Lemma 1. Let with , and associate with the pseudodifferential operator . Then, the distribution kernel of T is smooth away from the diagonal and is given bywhere satisfies for and the limit is taken in and independent of the choice of ψ. If and , satisfies the estimates

3. The Proof of Theorem 1

In this section, we prove that the pseudodifferential operators T in are bounded from into .

Proposition 1. Let , and . Assume pseudodifferential operator with , and . Then, there exists a constant such thatholds for all -atoms a with respect to ω, where .

Proof. Inspired by the proof of Lemma 3.2 in [15], we consider two cases about the radius r.

Case 1. When . For every and , we haveHence, by (8) and properties of -atoms with respect to ω, we havefor all . Thus,

Case 2. When . For every and , by moments condition, we haveBy the mean value theorem, , and (7), we havewhere we take and use the fact that if . Let us now consider two subcases.

Subcase 1. If , then, for any and ,Similar to the case , we getSince and , we haveNoting , it easy to see . This implies (17).

Subcase 2. If . Since , (22) yieldsIn view of (20) and (26), we finish the proof of Proposition 1.

Proof. The proof of Theorem 1 is motivated by the atomic decomposition for . Let . We obtain an atomic decomposition of f satisfying (15) and (16). So, to prove that the pseudodifferential operators T are bounded from into , it suffices to show that for each -atom a with respect to ω, we have . Recall that an -atom a with respect to ω is a function satisfyingfor some ball .
Now, let a be such an atom and writeIt is easy to estimate the term . Using Hölder inequality and -boundedness for the pseudodifferential operator T (see Remark 1), we getwhere C is independent of a.
For the term , we writeBy Proposition 1, we getsince . Combing (29) and (31), we finish the proof of Theorem 1.

4. The Proof of Theorem 2

In this section, we establish the weighted norm inequality on weighted Hardy spaces for pseudodifferential operators T in .

Proof. Without loss of generality, we assume , where . Fix and . By (15), it is sufficient to show that for each -atom a with respect to ω, with C independent of a. In order to do this, one can suppose and writeFor the term , by Hölder inequality, -boundedness of the maximal function , -boundedness of the pseudodifferential operator T, and (14), we getwhere C is independent of a.
To estimate , we first estimate for . For any , since (see Definition 3), we haveFor the term , by the mean value theorem and Hölder’s inequality, we havewhere depends on , and , and . Here, we use the inequalitiesand , and -boundedness of the pseudodifferential operator T (see Lemma 3).
To estimate and , we first estimate when and consider two cases about r.

Case 3. If , then for every and , we have . Hence, by (8), we have

Case 4. In the case of , we have . Thus, for every , from , (7) yieldswhere we use the fact that if and .
Let us now continue to estimate . When , using the mean value theorem and (37), we haveHere, we use the fact that under the condition of .
Similarly, in the case of , by the moments condition for a, the mean value condition, and (38), we getFor the term , we haveSince , we have . Thus,Meanwhile,So, in the case of , by (37), (42), and (43), we haveIn the case of , by (38), (42), and (43), we havesince .
Let . In view of (35), (39), (40), (44), and (45), we shall unify these formulas. Firstly, implies . Secondly, implies . Therefore,holds for any . Finally, since holds for and , we haveUsing these three facts, we haveNote that . Then, in all cases, we have andThis concludes the proof of Theorem 2.
