Optimal estimates for the fractional Hardy operator
Let be the n-dimensional fractional Hardy operator, where 0 < α ≤ n. It is well-known that is bounded from to with when n(1-1/p) < α ≤ n. We improve this result within the framework of Banach function spaces, for instance, weighted Lebesgue spaces and Lorentz spaces. We in fact find a ’source’ space , which is strictly larger than X, and a ’target’ space , which is strictly smaller than Y, under the assumption that is bounded from X into Y and the Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator...
