Let $M_{\beta }$ be the fractional maximal function. The commutator generated by $M_{\beta }$ and a suitable function $b$ is defined by $[M_{\beta },b]f=M_{\beta }\left(bf\right)-b{M}_{\beta }\left(f\right)$. Denote by $𝒫\left({ℝ}^n\right)$ the set of all measurable functions $p(·):{ℝ}^n\to [1,\infty )$ such that $$1<p_{-}:=\underset{x\in {ℝ}^n}{\mathrm{ess}\inf }p\left(x\right)\text{and}{p}_{+}:=\underset{x\in {ℝ}^n}{\mathrm{ess}\sup }p\left(x\right)<\infty ,$$ and by $ℬ\left({ℝ}^n\right)$ the set of all $p(·)\in 𝒫\left({ℝ}^n\right)$ such that the Hardy-Littlewood maximal function $M$ is bounded on $L^{p(·)}\left({ℝ}^n\right)$. In this paper, the authors give some characterizations of $b$ for which $[M_{\beta },b]$ is bounded from $L^{p(·)}\left({ℝ}^n\right)$ into $L^{q(·)}\left({ℝ}^n\right)$, when $p(·)\in 𝒫\left({ℝ}^n\right)$, $0<\beta <n/p_{+}$ and $1/q(·)=1/p(·)-\beta /n$ with $q(·)(n-\beta )/n\in ℬ\left({ℝ}^n\right)$.

We deal with the integral equation $u\left(t\right)=f\left({\int }_{I}g(t,z)u\left(z\right)dz\right)$, with $t\in I=[0,1]$, $f:{𝐑}^n\to {𝐑}^n$ and $g:I\times I\to [0,+\infty [$. We prove an existence theorem for solutions $u\in L^{\infty }(I,{𝐑}^n)$ where the function $f$ is not assumed to be continuous, extending a result previously obtained for the case $n=1$.

Let $b_1,b_2\in \mathrm{BMO}\left({ℝ}^n\right)$ and $T_{\sigma }$ be a bilinear Fourier multiplier operator with associated multiplier $\sigma$ satisfying the Sobolev regularity that ${sup}_{\kappa \in \mathbb{Z}}{\parallel {\sigma }_{\kappa }\parallel }_{W^{s_1,s_2}\left({ℝ}^{2n}\right)}<\infty$ for some $s_1,s_2\in (n/2,n]$. In this paper, the behavior on $L^{p_1}\left({ℝ}^n\right)\times L^{p_2}\left({ℝ}^n\right)$ $(p_1,p_2\in (1,\infty ))$, on $H^1\left({ℝ}^n\right)\times L^{p_2}\left({ℝ}^n\right)$ $(p_2\in [2,\infty ))$, and on $H^1\left({ℝ}^n\right)\times H^1\left({ℝ}^n\right)$, is considered for the commutator $T_{\sigma ,\overrightarrow{b}}$ defined by $$\begin{array}{ccc}\hfill T_{\sigma ,\overrightarrow{b}}(f_1,f_2)\left(x\right)=& b_1\left(x\right)T_{\sigma }(f_1,f_2)\left(x\right)-T_{\sigma }(b_1{f}_1,f_2)\left(x\right)\hfill & \hfill +b_2\left(x\right)T_{\sigma }(f_1,f_2)\left(x\right)-T_{\sigma }(f_1,b_2{f}_2)\left(x\right).\end{array}$$ By kernel estimates of the bilinear Fourier multiplier operators and employing some techniques in the theory of bilinear singular integral operators, it is proved that these mapping properties are very similar to those...

In the paper we find conditions on the pair $({\omega }_1,{\omega }_2)$ which ensure the boundedness of the maximal operator and the Calderón-Zygmund singular integral operators from one generalized Morrey space ${ℳ}_{p,{\omega }_1}$ to another ${ℳ}_{p,{\omega }_2}$, $1<p<\infty$, and from the space ${ℳ}_{1,{\omega }_1}$ to the weak space $W{ℳ}_{1,{\omega }_2}$. As applications, we get some estimates for uniformly elliptic operators on generalized Morrey spaces.

We deal with the integral equation $u\left(t\right)=f(t,{\int }_{I}g(t,z)u\left(z\right)dz)$, with $t\in I:=[0,1]$, $f:I\times {ℝ}^n\to {ℝ}^n$ and $g:I\times I\to [0,+\infty [$. We prove an existence theorem for solutions $u\in L^s(I,{ℝ}^n)$, $s\in ]1,+\infty ]$, where $f$ is not assumed to be continuous in the second variable. Our result extends a result recently obtained for the special case where $f$ does not depend explicitly on the first variable $t\in I$.
