We show in two dimensions that if $Kf={\int }_{ℝ₊²}k(x,y)f\left(y\right)dy$, $k(x,y)=\left(e^{i{x}^a·y^b}\right){/\left(\right|x-y|}^{\eta })$, p = 4/(2+η), a ≥ b ≥ 1̅ = (1,1), $v_p\left(y\right)=y^{(p/p^{\text{'}})(1̅-b/a)}$, then ${\left|\right|Kf\left|\right|}_p{\le C\left|\right|f\left|\right|}_{p,v_p}$ if η + α₁ + α₂ < 2, ${\alpha }_j=1-b_j/a_j$, j = 1,2. Our methods apply in all dimensions and also for more general kernels.

This paper is concerned with the oscillatory behavior of the damped half-linear oscillator ${\left(a\left(t\right){\phi }_p\left(x^{\text{'}}\right)\right)}^{\text{'}}+b\left(t\right){\phi }_p\left(x^{\text{'}}\right)+c\left(t\right){\phi }_p\left(x\right)=0$, where ${\phi }_p\left(x\right)={\left|x\right|}^{p-1}\mathrm{sgn}x$ for $x\in ℝ$ and $p>1$. A sufficient condition is established for oscillation of all nontrivial solutions of the damped half-linear oscillator under the integral averaging conditions. The main result can be given by using a generalized Young’s inequality and the Riccati type technique. Some examples are included to illustrate the result. Especially, an example which asserts that all nontrivial...

The second order linear differential equation $${\left(p\left(x\right)y^{\text{'}}\right)}^{\text{'}}+q\left(x\right)y=0,x\in (0,x_0]$$ is considered, where $p$, $q\in C^1(0,x_0]$, $p\left(x\right)>0$, $q\left(x\right)>0$ for $x\in (0,x_0]$. Sufficient conditions are established for every nontrivial solutions to be nonrectifiable oscillatory near $x=0$ without the Hartman–Wintner condition.

We obtain the boundedness of Calderón-Zygmund singular integral operators $T$ of non-convolution type on Hardy spaces $H^p\left(𝒳\right)$ for $1/(1+ϵ)<p\le 1$, where $𝒳$ is a space of homogeneous type in the sense of Coifman and Weiss (1971), and $ϵ$ is the regularity exponent of the kernel of the singular integral operator $T$. Our approach relies on the discrete Littlewood-Paley-Stein theory and discrete Calderón’s identity. The crucial feature of our proof is to avoid atomic decomposition and molecular theory in contrast...

We consider the problem of the existence of positive solutions u to the problem $u^{\left(n\right)}\left(x\right)=g\left(u\left(x\right)\right)$, $u\left(0\right)=u^{\text{'}}\left(0\right)=...=u^{(n-1)}\left(0\right)=0$ (g ≥ 0,x > 0, n ≥ 2). It is known that if g is nondecreasing then the Osgood condition $\int {₀}^{\delta }1/s{[s/g\left(s\right)]}^{1/n}ds<\infty$ is necessary and sufficient for the existence of nontrivial solutions to the above problem. We give a similar condition for other classes of functions g.

Let T be a bounded linear operator on $X={\left(\sum {\ell }_q\right)}_p$ with 1 ≤ q < ∞ and 1 < p < ∞. Then T is a commutator if and only if for all non-zero λ ∈ ℂ, the operator T - λI is not X-strictly singular.

We prove the $L^p$ boundedness of the Marcinkiewicz integral operators ${\mu }_{\Omega }$ on ${ℝ}^{n₁}\times \cdots \times {ℝ}^{n_k}$ under the condition that $\Omega \in L{\left(logL\right)}^{k/2}{(}^{n₁-1}\times \cdots {\times }^{n_k-1})$. The exponent k/2 is the best possible. This answers an open question posed by Y. Ding.

For the equation $$y^{\left(n\right)}+{\left|y\right|}^k\mathrm{sgn}y=0,k>1,n=3,4,$$ existence of oscillatory solutions $$y={(x^{*}-x)}^{-\alpha }h(log(x^{*}-x)),\alpha =\frac{n}{k-1},x<x^{*},$$ is proved, where $x^{*}$ is an arbitrary point and $h$ is a periodic non-constant function on $ℝ$. The result on existence of such solutions with a positive periodic non-constant function $h$ on $ℝ$ is formulated for the equation $$y^{\left(n\right)}={\left|y\right|}^k\mathrm{sgn}y,k>1,n=12,13,14.$$

Recently there has been an increasing interest in studying $p\left(t\right)$-Laplacian equations, an example of which is given in the following form $$\left(\right|u^{\text{'}}{\left(t\right)|}^{p\left(t\right)-2}{u}^{\text{'}}{\left(t\right))}^{\text{'}}+c\left(t\right){\left|u\left(t\right)\right|}^{q\left(t\right)-2}u\left(t\right)=0,t>0.$$ In particular, the first study of sufficient conditions for oscillatory solution of $p\left(t\right)$-Laplacian equations was made by Zhang (2007), but to our knowledge, there has not been a paper which gives the oscillatory conditions by utilizing Riccati inequality. Therefore, we establish sufficient conditions for oscillatory solution of nonlinear differential equations...

The commutator of a singular integral operator with homogeneous kernel Ω(x)/|x|ⁿ is studied, where Ω is homogeneous of degree zero and has mean value zero on the unit sphere. It is proved that $\Omega \in L{\left(logL\right)}^{k+1}\left(S^{n-1}\right)$ is a sufficient condition for the kth order commutator to be bounded on $L^p\left(ℝⁿ\right)$ for all 1 < p < ∞. The corresponding maximal operator is also considered.

We introduce a method to treat a semilinear elliptic equation in ${ℝ}^N$ (see equation (1) below). This method is of a perturbative nature. It permits us to skip the problem of lack of compactness of ${ℝ}^N$ but requires an oscillatory behavior of the potential b.

We give some rather weak sufficient condition for $L^p$ boundedness of the Marcinkiewicz integral operator ${\mu }_{\Omega }$ on the product spaces $ℝⁿ\times {ℝ}^m$ (1 < p < ∞), which improves and extends some known results.

The author investigates the boundedness of the higher order commutator of strongly singular convolution operator, $T_b^m$, on Herz spaces $K{̇}_q^{\alpha ,p}\left(ℝⁿ\right)$ and $K_q^{\alpha ,p}\left(ℝⁿ\right)$, and on a new class of Herz-type Hardy spaces $HK{̇}_{q,b,m}^{\alpha ,p,0}\left(ℝⁿ\right)$ and $H{K}_{q,b,m}^{\alpha ,p,0}\left(ℝⁿ\right)$, where 0 < p ≤ 1 < q < ∞, α = n(1-1/q) and b ∈ BMO(ℝⁿ).

The case $p=1$ answers a question asked by Rosenthal in 1976.
