Let $A_1,\cdots ,A_m$ be $n\times n$ real matrices such that for each $1\le i\le m,$ $A_i$ is invertible and $A_i-A_j$ is invertible for $i\ne j$. In this paper we study integral operators of the form $$Tf\left(x\right)=\int k_1(x-A_{1}y)k_2(x-A_{2}y)\cdots k_m(x-A_{m}y)f\left(y\right)\mathrm{d}y,$$ $k_i\left(y\right)={\sum }_{j\in \mathbb{Z}}{2}^{jn/q_i}{\varphi }_{i,j}\left(2^{j}y\right)$, $1\le q_i<\infty ,$ $1/q_1+1/q_2+\cdots +1/q_m=1-r,$ $0\le r<1,$ and ${\varphi }_{i,j}$ satisfying suitable regularity conditions. We obtain the boundedness of $T:H^p\left({ℝ}^n\right)\to L^q\left({ℝ}^n\right)$ for $0<p<1/r$ and $1/q=1/p-r.$ We also show that we can not expect the $H^p$-$H^q$ boundedness of this kind of operators.

In this paper we give a sufficient condition on the pair of weights $(w,v)$ for the boundedness of the Weyl fractional integral $I_{\alpha }^{+}$ from $L^p\left(v\right)$ into $L^p\left(w\right)$. Under some restrictions on $w$ and $v$, this condition is also necessary. Besides, it allows us to show that for any $p:1\le p<\infty$ there exist non-trivial weights $w$ such that $I_{\alpha }^{+}$ is bounded from $L^p\left(w\right)$ into itself, even in the case $\alpha >1$.

We show that the differential inequality $\left|\Delta u\right|\le v\left|u\right|$ has the unique continuation property relative to the Sobolev space $H_{loc}^{2,1}\left(\Omega \right)$, $\Omega \subset R^n$, $n\le 3$, if $v$ satisfies the condition $$(K_n^{\mathrm{loc}})\underset{r\to 0}{lim}\underset{x\in K}{sup}{\int }_{|x-y|\&lt;r}|x-y{|}^{2-n}v\left(y\right)dy=0$$ for all compact $K\subset \Omega$, where if $n=2$, we replace $|x-y{|}^{2-n}$ by $-log|x-y|$. This resolves a conjecture of B. Simon on unique continuation for Schrödinger operators, $H=-\Delta +v$, in the case $n\le 3$. The proof uses Carleman’s approach together with the following pointwise inequality valid for all $N=0,1,2,...$ and any $u\in H_c^{2,1}({\mathbf{R}}^3-\left\{0\right\}),$ $$\frac{\left|u\right(x\left)\right|}{|x{|}^N}\le C{\int }_{{\mathbf{R}}^3}|x-y{|}^{-1}\frac{\left|\Delta u\right(y\left)\right|}{|y{|}^N}dy\text{for}\text{a.e.}x\text{in}{\mathbf{R}}^3.$$
