1. Introduction
In 1986, E.M. Stein [12] studied the L p boundedness of the singular integral operator along polynomials T P defined by
T P f (x) = p.v. f x − P ( y ) K ( y ) dy , (1.1)
Rn
Theorem A. (See [12] or see also [11].) T P is bounded on L p (Rd ) for 1 < p < ∞. The bounds of T P may depend on deg( P j ), but it is
independent of the coefficients of P j .
In 1997, Fan and Pan [6] proved that the smoothness condition assumed on the kernel K is not necessary for the L p
boundedness of the operator T P . To state the results of Fan and Pan, let us recall some definitions. A measurable function b
defined on R+ := (0, ∞) is said to be in for some 1 ∞, if b satisfies
R

sup b(t ) dt < ∞. (1.2)

For b ∈ 1 , replacing K ( y ) by b(| y |)Ω( y )| y |−n in (1.1), then the rough singular integral operator along polynomials is
defined by
b(| y |)Ω( y )
TΩ, P f (x) = p.v. f x − P ( y ) dy , (1.3)

Rn
Theorem B. (See [6].) Suppose that Ω ∈ H 1 (Sn−1 ) and b ∈ (R+ ) for some > 1 (see Section 2 for the definition of the Hardy
space H 1 (Sn−1 )). Then for | 1p − 12 | < min{ 12 , 1 }, there exists a constant C > 0 such that for every f ∈ L p (Rd ),
On the other hand, it is well known that the Triebel–Lizorkin spaces and Besov spaces contain many important function
spaces, such as Lebesgue spaces, Hardy spaces, Sobolev spaces and Lipschitz spaces. The homogeneous Triebel–Lizorkin

space Ḟ α (Rd ) and homogeneous Besov space Ḃ α (Rd ) are defined as following. For 0 < p , q ∞ ( p = ∞) and α ∈ R,

See [9,10,15,16] for more properties of Ḟ α (Rd ) and Ḃ α (Rd ).
Recently, the previous two authors of this paper gave the boundedness of the rough singular integral operator T Ω with
its kernel Ω ∈ H 1 (Sn−1 ) on the Triebel–Lizorkin spaces and Besov spaces in [3]. See also [1] and [2] for the boundedness
of the rough singular integrals on the Triebel–Lizorkin spaces. The main purpose of this paper is to study the mapping
properties of TΩ, P on Triebel–Lizorkin spaces and Besov spaces. Our main results are as follows:
Theorem 1.1. Suppose Ω ∈ H 1 (Sn−1 ) and b ∈ (R+ ) for some > 1. Then for | 1p − 12 | < min{ 12 , 1 } and | 1q − 12 | < min{ 12 , 1 },
p ,q
α ∈ R, there exists a constant C > 0 such that for f ∈ Ḟ α (Rd ),
TΩ, P f Ḟ αp,q (Rd ) C Ω H 1 (Sn−1 ) f Ḟ αp,q (Rd ) ,
Theorem 1.2. Suppose Ω ∈ H 1 (Sn−1 ) and b ∈ (R+ ) for some > 1. Then for | 1p − 12 | < min{ 12 , 1 }, 1 < q < ∞, α ∈ R, there
p ,q
exists a constant C > 0 such that for f ∈ Ḟ α (R ), d
p ,2 p ,2
Remark 1.3. Note that Ḟ 0 (Rd ) = Ḃ 0 (Rd ) = L p (Rd ) for 1 < p < ∞, so, Theorems 1.1 and 1.2 are an extension of Theorem B.
In 1986, Stein [12] gave the L p boundedness of the maximal operator along polynomials MP , which is defined by
1
MP f (x) = sup f x − P ( y ) dy ,
n
r >0 r
| y |r
Furthermore, the bound on the operator MP can be taken to independent of the coefficients of P j .
The above theorem is an extension of the famous result on the lq -valued L p boundedness of the Hardy–Littlewood
maximal operator obtained by C. Fefferman and E.M. Stein in [7]. Hence, Theorem 1.4 has its own interest.

Remark 1.5. Denote by F α and B α the inhomogeneous Triebel–Lizorkin space and Besov spaces, respectively. Then the
following properties are well known (see [9] or [10], for example):
p ,q p ,q
(a) F α ∼ Ḟ α ∩ L p and f F αp,q ∼ f Ḟ αp,q + f L p (α > 0);
p ,q p ,q
(b) B α ∼ Ḃ α ∩ L p and f B p,q ∼ f Ḃ p,q + f L p (α > 0).
α α
Hence, by the properties (a) and (b) above and Theorems 1.1, 1.2 and Theorem B, we get the following conclusion
immediately:
Corollary 1.6. Under the same conditions of Theorems 1.1 and 1.2 (for α > 0), the rough operator TΩ, P is also bounded on the
p ,q p ,q
inhomogeneous Triebel–Lizorkin space F α and Besov spaces B α , respectively.
This paper is organized as follows. First, accepting Theorem 1.4, we prove the main results of this paper, i.e. Theorems 1.1
and 1.2, which will be arranged in Section 2. Then, in Section 3, we give the proof of lq -valued norm inequality for the max-
imal operator MP , i.e. Theorem 1.4. In the last section, we show an lq -valued analytic interpolation theorem (Lemma 3.1)
briefly, which will be used in the proof of Theorem 1.4.
Throughout this paper the letter “C ” will stand for a positive constant which is independent of the essential variables
and not necessarily the same one in each occurrence. As usual, | E | denotes the Lebesgue measure of a measurable set E
in Rn and for p 1, p = p /( p − 1) denotes the dual exponent of p. For matrix A, A t is the transpose of A. Let J is an
invertible transformation, J −1 denote the inverse of J .
First let us recall the definitions of the Hardy space and H 1 -atoms on the unit sphere Sn−1 . The Hardy space H 1 (Sn−1 )
is defined by
H 1 n −1
S = ω∈L S 1 n −1
ω H 1 (Sn−1 ) = sup ω y P r (·) y dσ y <∞ ,
0r <1 L 1 (Sn−1 )

where j =1 |λ j | C Ω H 1 (Sn−1 ) and each a j is a regular H 1 (Sn−1 ) atom.

Definition 2.1. A function a on Sn−1 is called to be a regular atom if there exist ζ ∈ Sn−1 and ρ ∈ (0, 2] such that
Lemma 2.2. Define operators S j by ( S j g )∧ (ξ ) = ψ j (ξ ) ĝ (ξ ). Then for 1 < p , q < ∞ and { f k } ∈ L p (lq )(Rd ), we have

Proof of Theorem 1.1. Let a be a regular atom. Without loss of generality, we may assume that 0 < ρ < 1/4 and ζ = e1 :=

It is obvious that

Below we give some notations, which are same as in [6]. Let deg(P ) = max{deg( P j ) | 1 j d}. For l ∈ N, Al denote the
class of polynomials of l variables with real coefficients and V l denote the space of real-valued homogeneous polynomials
of degree l on Rn . Then there are integers 0 < l1 < l2 < · · · < lm deg(P ), and polynomials Q uj ∈ V lu ⊂ An , R j ∈ A1 with
deg( R j ) deg(P ) for 1 u m, 1 j d such that

Q uj (x) = b u j β xβ .
|β|=lu
For l ∈ N and α ∈ (N ∪ {0})n with |α | = l, we choose ηl,α (·) ∈ An−1 such that
α
x − ηl,α (x̃) C ρ 4l(n−1)
for x ∈ Sn−1 ∩ B (e1 , ρ ). For each u ∈ {1, . . . , m}, j ∈ {1, . . . , d}, we define quj ∈ An−1 by
quj (x̃) = b u j β ηlu ,β (x̃)
|β|=lu
and
W u ,η (x̃) = W 1uη (x̃), . . . , W duη (x̃) .

Let M (u ) = h=1 [
ν (h) + 1] for 1 u m, M (0) = 0, and define Γ0 , . . . , ΓM (m) by
x̃
Γ M (u −1)+θ (x) = Ru (x) + |x|lu W u ,κ
|x|
1κ θ
for 1 u m, 0 θ M (u ) − M (u − 1), and Γ M (m) (x) = P (x). Let d(u ) = dim( V lu ) for each u and write
n
β ∈ N ∪ {0} |β| = lu = β(u , 1), . . . , β u , d(u ) .
Hence we can write
d (u )
Q uj (x) = bu js xβ(u ,s)
s =1
682 Y. Chen et al. / J. Math. Anal. Appl. 368 (2010) 677–691
where bu js = b u j β(u ,s) . Denote by d(u , η) the number of distinct elements in {Θ ∈ (N ∪ {0})n−1 | |Θ| = h u ,η }. For 1 u m,
1 η ν (u ) and 1 j d, write
Θ |Θ| = hu ,η = Θ(u , η, 1), . . . , Θ u , η, d(u , η)
and
d(u ,η)
W ujη (x̃) = w u , j ,η,s x̃Θ(u ,η,s) .

Define Λ1 , . . . , Λ M (m) ∈ N by
d(u , θ), if 1 θ < M (u ) − M (u − 1), 1 u m;
Λ M (u −1)+θ =
d(u ), if θ = M (u ) − M (u − 1), 1 u m.
For η ∈ {1, . . . , M (m)}, s(η) = rank( L η ), there are two nonsingular linear transformations H η : Rs(η) → Rs(η) and
G η : Rd → Rd such that

Fix a function φ ∈ C 0∞ (R) such that φ(t ) = 1 for |t | 1/2 and φ(t ) = 0 for |t | 1. Let ϕ (t ) = φ(t 2 ) and define the measures

get the following estimate from (2.3) and (2.4) (see also (7.39) in [6])

For 1 ι M (m), let Φ ι (ξ 0 ) be a radial function in S (Rs(ι) ), where ξ 0 ∈ Rs(ι) . Define J ι and X ι by
J ι f (x) = f G ts(ι) H ts(ι) ⊗ idRd−s(ι) x
and
X ι f (x) = J ι−1 Φkι ⊗ δRd−s(ι) ∗ J ι f (x),
where Φkι (x0 ) = [2kl(ι) ρ δ(ι) ]−s(ι) Φ ι (2−kl(ι) ρ −δ(ι) x0 ), x0 ∈ Rs(ι) , G s(ι) and H s(ι) are proper nonsingular linear transformations

We therefore get (2.12). Then, by applying an interpolation theorem (see [8] or [10]) between (2.10) and (2.11), it is clear

We first prove Theorem 1.4 for the case where P j are all monomials (i.e., Proposition 3.2 below). We give some notations.
Let D = max{deg( P j )}. For α = (α1 , . . . , αn ) with α j ∈ Z+ ∪ {0}, denote |α | = |α1 | + · · · + |αn |. Denote N = {α : 1 |α | D }

Moreover, R N = {(xα ) = (xα 1 , . . . , xα N ) | α j ∈ Λ} is the N-dimension Euclid space, whose coordinates are labeled by the
multi-indices α . Then we define the maximal operator Mp corresponding to the polynomial map
p : Rn → R N , p(t ) = t α 1|α | D := t 1α1 · · · tnαn 1|α | D

We should point out that Lemma 3.1 is only a consequence of the Banach-valued interpolation theorem of analytic
families of operators, which was given by Cwikel and Janson in [5]. However, we also present a direct simple proof of
Lemma 3.1 in the last section.
Proposition 3.2. For 1 < p , q < ∞, there is a constant C p ,q such that for all { f i } ∈ L p (lq )(R N ),

and the bound A z grow at most polynomially in (1 + | Im( z)|). Then, it is obvious that

On the other hand, by (31) in [11, p. 480] and (33) in [11, p. 481]1 respectively, the following estimates hold:
z
N f A z f L p (RN ) for 1 < p ∞ and Re( z) < 0 (3.5)
L p (R N )
and
supν zj (x − y ) − ν zj (x) dx A z for Re( z) < 0. (3.6)
j

By (3.5), (3.6) and the theory of lq -valued extension of nonlinear operators (see [10]), we have

z q q
N f i
Az | fi|q for 1 < p ∞ and Re( z) < 0. (3.7)

Now, let (x, i ) → j (x, i ) be an arbitrary integer-valued function on R N × Z and define the analytic family of operators U z by
2
U z ( g )(x) = e z · A zj(x,i ) ( g )(x).
2
The factor e z compensates for the growth of the bound A z . Thus, by (3.3) we know that U z L 2 → L 2 is bounded uniformly
in z for Re( z) < 1/ D. In view of (3.4) and (3.7), for 1 < p , q < ∞, we have
1/2
z 2 1/2
U f i A | f | 2 if Re( z) = σ0 < 1/ D ,

To get Theorem 1.4 by using Proposition 3.2, we need to introduce some auxiliary operators. For a finite measure dμ
on R N , the operator T is defined by a convolution with dμ, i.e., T ( f ) = f ∗ dμ. Suppose L is a linear mapping from R N
to Rd , then the operator T L is defined by
T L g (x) = g x − L ( z) dμ( z),
RN

Where Re( z) > 0 in (33) of [11, p. 481] should be Re( z) < 0.
Y. Chen et al. / J. Math. Anal. Appl. 368 (2010) 677–691 689
where x ∈ Rd . By the same way, for a family of finite measures {dμ j } on R N , we can define operators family { T j } and { T Lj }
related to {dμ j }.
Using a similar idea of proving lemma in [11, p. 484], we may get the following results, here we omit the details.
(a) Then the norm of operator T L acting on L p (lq )(Rd ) does not exceed the norm of T acting on L p (lq )(R N ).
(b) Assume additionally that the dμ j are nonnegative and set
T ∗ g (x) = sup T j g (x), and T ∗L g (x) = sup T Lj g (x).
j j
If T ∗ is bounded on L (l )(R ), then T ∗ is also bounded on L p (lq )(Rd ), and its norm does not exceed that of T ∗ .
p q N L
Finally, we complete the proof of Theorem 1.4 by applying Lemma 3.1, Proposition 3.2 and Lemma 3.3, which idea follows
Stein–Wainger’s way (see [11] or [13]).

Let = f ∗ dμ MP ( f ) =

For 1 < p , q < ∞, by Lemma 3.3 and Proposition 3.2, restricting to a countable dense set of r for the interval 0 < r < R,
and letting R → ∞, then Theorem 1.4 is established. 2

then S is a dense subset of L p (lq )(Rd ) (see [10] or [16]). Thus, by a simple limiting argument, we need only to show (3.1)
for functions in S. For 0 < θ < 1, 1q = 1q−θ + qθ and 1p = 1p−θ + pθ , let

L 0 (l 0 ) L p (lq ) 1 1 L (l )
Without loss of generality, we may assume that {C j (·)} L p (lq ) 1. Thus, to get (3.1), it suffices to show
sup U a(1−θ )+bθ
(C j )(x) E j (x) dx M 01−θ M 1θ . (4.3)

L (l )
With our assumption on {C j } and { E j }, it is easy to check that F ( z) is continuous in the strip { z ∈ C: 0 Re( z) 1} and
analytic in its interior. Let z = u + it, 0 u 1, 1r = 1q−u + qu , by Hölder’s inequality, we have

So, F ( z) is bounded on strip { z ∈ C: 0 Re( z) 1}. Using Hölder’s inequality again and (4.1), (4.2), we have
F (it ) M 0 C j (it , ·) E j (it , ·) p q M0.
L p 0 (lq0 ) L 0 (l 0 )
and
F (1 + it ) M 1 C j (1 + it , ·) E j (1 + it , ·) p q M1.
L p 1 (lq1 ) L 1 (l 1 )
Thus, | F (θ)| M 01−θ M 1θ by applying Phragmen–Lindelöf three lines theorem (see [14]). We therefore get (4.3) and Lemma 3.1
follows.
