Inequalities for Higher Order Riesz-Laguerre Transforms

Abstract

The weak-type (1, 1) boundedness of the higher order Riesz-Laguerre transforms associated with the Laguerre polynomials and the boundedness for the Riesz-Laguerre transforms of order 2 are considered. We discuss a polynomial weight w that makes the Riesz-Laguerre transforms of order greater than or equal to 2 continuous from L1 (wdμα) into L1, (dμα), under specific value α, where μα is the Laguerre measure.

1. Introduction

The aim of this paper is to discuss the weak-type (1, 1) boundedness of R m + 1 and the polynomial weight w that makes the Riesz-Laguerre transforms of order greater than or equal to 2 continuous from L 1 ( w d μ α ) into L 1 , ( d μ α ) , under specific value α . Following the same notions appear in [1] [2]. The (m+ 1)th Riesz-Laguerre transform with m Z 0 d associated with the multidimensional Laguerre operator L , where = ( 1 , , d ) is a multi-index with i 0 , i = 1 , , d .

The Laguerre operator L , is a self-adjoint “Laplacian” on L 2 ( d μ α ) , where μ α is the Laguerre measure of type = ( 1 , , d ) with i > 1 , i = 1 , , d ; defined on R + d = { x R d : x i > 0 , for each i = 1 , , d } , by

d μ α ( x ) = i = 1 d x i i e x i Γ ( i + 1 ) d x .

It is well known that the spectral resolution of L is

L = n = 0 n P n ,

where P n is the orthogonal projection on the space spanned by Laguerre polynomials of total degree n and type ind variables [3] [4]. The operator L is the infinitesimal generator of a “heat” semigroup, called the Laguerre semigroup, { e t L : t 0 } , defined in the spectral sense as

e t L = n = 0 e n t P n .

For any multi-index m + 1 = ( a 1 , , a d ) Z 0 d , the Riesz-Laguerre transforms R m + 1 of order | m + 1 | = a 1 + + a d are defined by

R m + 1 = α m + 1 ( L α ) | m + 1 | / 2 P 0 ,

where is associated to L defined as = ( x 1 x 1 , , x d x d ) , and P 0 , denotes the orthogonal projection onto the orthogonal complement of the eigenspace corresponding to the eigenvalue 0 of L .

In order to use the well-known relationship with the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck context, but not too much exploited in the weak-type inequalities, we are going to perform a change of coordinates in R + d . If x = ( x 1 , , x d ) is a vector R + d , then x 2 will denote the vector ( x 1 2 , , x d 2 ) . Let Ψ : R + d R + d be defined as Ψ ( x ) = x 2 and let d μ ˜ = d μ o Ψ 1 be the pull-back measure from d μ . Then the modified Laguerre measure d μ ˜ is the probability measure

d μ ˜ ( x ) = 2 d i = 1 d x i 2 i + 1 e x i 2 Γ ( i + 1 ) d x = 2 d i = 1 d x i 2 i + 1 Γ ( i + 1 ) e | x | 2 d x , (1)

on R + d .

The map f U Ψ f = f o Ψ is an isometry from L q ( d μ ) onto L q ( d μ ˜ ) and from L q , ( d μ α ) onto L q , ( d μ ˜ ) , for every q in [1, ∞]. So we may reduce the problem of studying the weak-type boundedness of R m + 1 to the study of the same boundedness for the modified Riesz-Laguerre transforms R ˜ m + 1 = U Ψ R m + 1 U Ψ 1 with respect to the measure d μ ˜ .

Observe that R ˜ m + 1 coincides, up to a multiplicative constant, with m + 1 ( L ˜ ) | m + 1 | P ˜ 0 , being L ˜ = U Ψ L U Ψ 1 , P ˜ 0 = U Ψ P 0 U Ψ 1 andes Ñ the gradient of R d associated to the Laplacian operator [5].

For the sequel, it is convenient to express the kernel of R ˜ m + 1 with respect to the Polynomial measure ( m + 1 ) defined on R + d as

d ( m + 1 ) ( x ) = e | x | 2 d μ ˜ ( x ) . (2)

According to [6] [7], for i > 1 / 2 , i = 1 , , d , the kernel of the modified Riesz-Laguerre transforms of order | m + 1 | with respect to the polynomial measure ( m + 1 ) is defined, off the diagonal, as

K m + 1 ( x , s ) = [ 1 , 1 ] d K m + 1 ( x , s ) Π α ( s ) ( s ) d s

with

K m + 1 ( x , s ) = 0 1 ( r ) | m + 1 | 2 ( log r 1 r ) | m + 1 | 2 2 i = 1 d H a i ( x i ( r s i ) 1 r ) e q ( r x 2 , x 2 , s ) 1 r ( 1 r ) | α | + d + 1 d r (3)

where H a i is the Hermite polynomial of degree a i and

q ± ( x , s ) = i = 1 d 2 x i ( 1 ± s i ) ,

Π α ( s ) = i = 1 d Γ ( α i + 1 ) Γ ( α i + 1 2 ) π ( 1 s i 2 ) α i 1 / 2 ,

cos θ = cos θ ( x , s ) = i = 1 d x i s i | x | 2 ,

sin θ = sin θ ( x , s ) = ( 1 cos 2 θ ) 1 / 2 = ( 1 ( i = 1 d x i s i | x | 2 ) 2 ) 1 / 2 .

The symbol a b means a C b where C is a constant that may be different on each occurrence. And we write a ~ b whenever a b and b a .

2. Main Results

For every multi-index we have the following result see [3].

Theorem 1: The second order Riesz-Laguerre transforms map L 1 ( d μ α ) continuously into L 1 , ( d μ α ) .

Proof: The result follows by splitting the modified Riesz-Laguerre transforms of second order into a local operator and a global one. Let us observe that for a simple covering Lemma, we may pass from estimates with respect to the measure ( m + 1 ) on the local part R 0 to estimates with respect to the modified Laguerre measure μ ˜ . Therefore the local operator is equivalent to T 0 m + 1 for | m + 1 | = 2 . The global operators bounded weak type (1, 1) and therefore so are the second order modified Riesz-Laguerre transforms.

From [8] and [9], it is known that an upper bound for | K m + 1 ( x , s ) | on G is

K ˜ m + 1 ( x , s ) = { ( | 2 x | 2 ) | m + 1 | 2 2 e | x | 2 , cos θ < 0 1 2 ( 4 | x | 4 sin 2 θ ) | m + 1 | 2 4 ( 1 + cos θ 1 cos θ ) | α | d 2 ( 1 + ( 4 | x | 4 sin 2 θ ) 1 4 e u 0 , cos θ 0 (4)

with

u 0 = ( q + ( x 2 , s ) q ( x 2 , s ) ) 1 / 2 2 .

Proposition 2: For | m | = 2 ,

| K m ( x , y , s ) | e | x | 2 K * ( x , y , s ) e | y | 2

on the global region

G = R + d × [ 1 , 1 ] d \ R 0 = R 1 R 2 R 3 R 4 ,

with

R 0 = { ( y , s ) R + d × [ 1 , 1 ] d : q ( x 2 , y 2 , s ) 1 / 2 C 1 + | X | } ,

R 1 = { ( y , s ) R 0 : cos θ < 0 } ,

R 2 = { ( y , s ) R 0 : cos θ 0 , | y | | x | } ,

R 3 = { ( y , s ) R 0 : cos θ 0 , | x | | y | 2 | x | } ,

R 4 = { ( y , s ) R 0 : cos θ 0 , | y | 2 | x | } ,

and

K * ( x , y , s ) = { e | x | 2 ( y , s ) R 1 ( 5 ) | x | 2 | | + 2 d e c | x | q 1 / 2 ( x 2 , y 2 , s ) ( y , s ) R 2 ( 6 ) | x | 2 | | + 2 d ( 1 e c | x | 4 sin 2 θ | y | 2 | x | 2 + sin θ | x | 2 ( | y | 2 | x | 2 + sin θ | x | 2 ) 2 | | + 2 d 1 2 ) ( y , s ) R 3 ( 7 ) ( 1 + | x | ) e sin 2 θ | x | 2 ( y , s ) R 4 ( 8 )

Proof. In this proposition, | m | = 2 . If cos θ < 0 , it is immediate that

| K m ( x , y , s ) | e | x | 2 K * ( x , y , s ) e | y | 2 .

Let us then assume that cos θ 0 .

1) First let us consider | x | > | y | .

Since cos θ 0 , q + 1 / 2 | x | and since | x | > | y | , then q + 1 / 2 2 | x | . Therefore q + 1 / 2 ~ | x | . On the other hand, since q 1 / 2 C 1 + | x | then | x | c . Thus

| K m ( x , y , s ) | [ ( q + q ) | α | + d 2 + ( q + q ) | α | + d 2 ( q + q ) 1 / 4 ] e u 0 [ | x | | α | + d ( 1 + | x | ) | α | + d + ( q + 1 / 2 ) | α | + d + 1 / 2 ( q 1 / 2 ) | α | + d 1 / 2 ] e u 0 | x | 2 | α | + 2 d e u 0 = e | x | 2 | x | 2 | α | + 2 d e ( q + q ) 1 / 2 2 e | y | 2 | x | 2 2 e | y | 2 e | x | 2 | x | 2 | α | + 2 d e | x | q 1 / 2 ( x 2 , y 2 , s ) 2 e | y | 2 = e | x | 2 K * ( x , y , s ) e | y | 2 .

2) Now let us assume | y | | x | and rewrite u 0 in the following way:

u 0 = | y | 2 | x | 2 2 + ( q + ( x 2 , y 2 , s ) q ( x 2 , y 2 , s ) ) 1 / 2 2 = | y | 2 | x | 2 + ( q + ( x 2 , y 2 , s ) q ( x 2 , y 2 , s ) ) 1 / 2 ( | y | 2 | x | 2 ) 2 = | y | 2 | x | 2 q + q ( | y | 2 | x | 2 ) 2 2 ( | y | 2 | x | 2 + ( q + q ) 1 / 2 ) = | y | 2 | x | 2 + 2 sin 2 θ | x | 2 | y | 2 | y | 2 | x | 2 + ( q + q ) 1 / 2 . (9)

Since

q + q = ( | x | 2 + | y | 2 ) 2 4 | x | 2 | y | 2 cos 2 θ = ( | y | 2 | x | 2 ) 2 + 4 | x | 2 | y | 2 sin 2 θ ,

and taking into account that sinθ is non-negative, we obtain that

( q + q ) 1 / 2 ~ | y | 2 | x | 2 + | x | | y | sin θ | y | 2 | x | 2 + | x | 2 sin θ . (10)

Thus, from (9) together with (10) we get

u 0 | y | 2 | x | 2 + c | x | 4 sin 2 θ | y | 2 | x | 2 + | x | | y | sin θ . (11)

Claim 3: max ( | y | 2 | x | 2 , | x | 2 sin θ ) 1 .

Proof. If sin θ 1 | x | 2 , the inequality is immediate.

If sin θ 1 | x | 2 , then | y | 2 | x | 2 + 1 . This inequality is immediate when | x | 1

by adjusting conveniently the constant C in the definition of the global zone and it is also immediate for d = 1 and | x | > 1 . Now let us assume that d 2 and | x | > 1 .

( C / 2 ) 2 | x | 2 C 2 ( 1 + | x | ) 2 q ( x 2 , y 2 , s ) = | x | 2 + | y | 2 2 | x | | y | 1 sin 2 θ | x | 2 + | y | 2 2 | x | | y | 1 1 | x | 4 .

Hence

| x | 2 2 | x | 1 1 | x | 4 | y | | x | 2 ( C / 2 ) 2 | x | 2 0

for all | y | | x | , then

| y | | x | 1 1 | x | 4 + ( C / 2 ) 2 1 | x |

which implies that

| y | 2 | x | 2 + 2 ( C / 2 ) 2 1 1 1 | x | 4 + ( C / 2 ) 2 2 | x | 2 | x | 2 + 1.

Therefore by applying this claim to inequality (10) we obtain that q + q c in this context. If | x | | y | 2 | x | , by taking into account (11), we get

u 0 | y | 2 | x | 2 + c | x | 4 sin 2 θ | y | 2 | x | 2 + | x | 2 sin θ , (12)

then

| K m ( x , y , s ) | ( q + q ) | α | + d 2 ( q + q ) 1 / 4 e u 0 q + | α | + d 2 ( q + q ) 2 | | + 2 d 4 ( q + q ) 1 / 4 e u 0 | x | 2 | α | + 2 d [ ( q + q ) 1 / 2 ] 2 | | + 2 d 1 2 e u 0 e | x | 2 | x | 2 | α | + 2 d ( | y | 2 | x | 2 + | x | 2 sin θ ) 2 | | + 2 d 1 2 e c | x | 4 sin 2 θ | y | 2 | x | 2 + | x | 2 sin θ e | y | 2 .

To get the last inequality we have used (10) and (12). On the other hand, since q + q c it is immediate the following inequality

| K m ( x , y , s ) | | x | 2 | α | + 2 d e | x | 2 | y | 2 .

Thus

| K m ( x , y , s ) | e | x | 2 K * ( x , y , s ) e | y | 2 .

Now if | y | 2 | x | then ( q + q ) 1 / 4 ( | x | 2 + | y | 2 ) 1 / 2 | y | 2 , and thus

( 1 + ( q + q ) 1 / 4 | x | | y | | x | 2 + | y | 2 ) ( 1 + | x | ) .

Besides q ( | y | | x | ) 2 c | y | 2 and q + C | y | 2 therefore q + q C . On the other

hand, from (9) together with ( q + q ) 1 / 2 | y | 2 | x | 2 + 2 | x | | y | sin θ and | y | 2 | x | 2 + | x | | y | sin θ 2 | y | 2 we get

u 0 | y | 2 | x | 2 + sin 2 θ | x | 2 | y | 2 | y | 2 | x | 2 + | x | | y | sin θ | y | 2 | x | 2 + sin 2 θ 2 | x | 2 .

Therefore

| K m ( x , y , s ) | e | x | 2 K * ( x , y , s ) e | y | 2 .

Proposition 4: The operator K * defined as

K * f ( x ) = e | x | 2 R + d [ 1 , 1 ] d χ G ( x , s ) K * ( x , s ) Π ( s ) | f ( x ) | d μ ˜ ( x ) ,

is of weak type (1, 1) with respect to the measure μ ˜ .

Proof. The method of proof used in [1] is an adaptation to our context of the techniques developed in [10] [11] [12] which allows us to get rid of the classical one called “forbidden regions technique”.

The kernels (5) and (6) define strong type (1, 1) operators. Indeed,

e | x | 2 R + d [ 1 , 1 ] d χ R 1 ( x , s ) e | x | 2 Π ( s ) | f ( x ) | d μ ˜ ( x ) C f 1 .

Moreover, for semi-integer values of the parameter α, by [6]

| x | 2 ( | | + d ) e C | x | 2 ( 2 ( 1 cos θ ) ) 1 / 2 (13)

is in L 1 ( d μ α ) uniformly in x and s and so the operator is of strong type with respect to μ ˜ on R 2 . Finally the result for the other values of is obtained via the multidimensional Stein’s complex interpolation Theorem. So to get the weak-type (1, 1) inequality for the operator K * it suffices to prove that the operators

S i f ( x ) = e | x | 2 R + d [ 1 , 1 ] d χ R i + 3 ( x , s ) K * ( x , s ) Π ( s ) d s | f ( x ) | d μ ˜ ( x ) , i = 0 , 1

map L 1 ( d μ ˜ ) continuously into L 1 , ( d μ ˜ ) .

Without loss of generality, we may assume that f 0 . Fix λ > 0 and let

E i = { x R + d : S i f ( x ) > λ } ,

for i = 0 , 1 . We must prove that μ ˜ ( E i ) C f 1 λ . Let r 0 and r 1 be the positive roots of the equations

r 0 2 ( | | + d ) e r 0 2 f 1 = λ and r 1 e r 1 2 f 1 = λ .

We may observe that indeed, if E i { x R + d : | x | < r i } = : indeed, if | x | < r i , we have

S 0 f ( x ) | x | 2 ( | | + d ) e | x | 2 f 1 < λ ,

S 1 f ( x ) | x | e | x | 2 f 1 < λ .

On the other hand, we may take λ > K f in [1], and by choosing K large enough we may assume that both r 0 and r 1 are larger that one. Hence

μ ˜ { x R + d : | x | < 2 r i } | x | < 2 r i j = 1 d x j 2 j + 1 e | x | 2 d x r i 2 | α | e 4 r i 2 C f 1 λ .

Thus we only need to estimate μ ˜ { x R + d : r i | x | 2 r i } .

We let E i denote the set of x S d 1 for which there exists a ρ [ r i , 2 r i ] with ρ x E . For each x E i we let ρ ( x ) be the smallest such ρ . Observe that

sin θ ( x , s ) = sin θ ( x , s ) = sin θ .

Then S i f ( ρ ( x ) x ) = λ , by continuity. This implies for i = 0 and x E 0 ,

λ = S 0 f ( ρ 0 ( x ) x ) = R + d [ 1 , 1 ] d x R 3 e | x | 2 x 2 ( | α | + d ) ( 1 e c | x | 2 sin 2 θ sin θ | x | 2 ( sin θ | x | 2 ) 2 ( | α | + d ) 1 2 ) Π α ( s ) d s f ( x ) d μ ˜ α ( x ) e p 0 2 ( x ) 2 r 0 2 ( | α | + d ) Π α ( s ) d s f ( x ) d μ ˜ α ( x ) × R + d [ 1 , 1 ] d { | x | r 0 } x ( x ) ( 1 e c r 0 4 sin 2 θ | x | 2 r 0 2 + sin θ r 0 2 ( | x | 2 r 0 2 + sin θ r 0 2 ) 2 ( | α | + d ) 1 2 ) , (14)

and for i = 1 and x E 1 ,

λ = S 1 f ( p i ( x ) x ) = R + d [ 1 , 1 ] d x R 5 ( x ) e | x | 2 ( 1 + | x | ) e sin 2 θ | x | 2 Π α ( s ) d s f ( x ) d μ ˜ α ( x ) e p 0 2 ( x ) 2 r 1 R + d [ 1 , 1 ] d { | x | > r 1 } x ( x ) e c sin 2 θ r 1 2 Π α ( s ) d s f ( x ) d μ ˜ α ( x ) (15)

Clearly, since r0 and r1 are greater than one, we have

μ ˜ α { x E i : r i | x | 2 r i } E i d σ ( x ) ρ i ( x ) 2 r i e ρ 2 ρ 2 ( | | + d ) 1 d ρ E i e ρ i ( x ) 2 r i 2 ( | | + d 1 ) d σ ( x ′ )

combining this estimate for i = 0 with (14), we get

μ ˜ α { x E i : r i | x | 2 r i } C λ E 0 r 0 2 ( ( 2 | | + 2 d ) 1 ) d σ ( x ) ( I 0 + I I 0 ) , (16)

with

I 0 = [ 1 , 1 ] d { sin θ r 0 2 c } e c r 0 4 sin 2 θ | x | 2 r 0 2 + sin θ r 0 2 ( | x | 2 r 0 2 + sin θ r 0 2 ) 2 ( | | + d ) 1 2 f ( x ) d μ ˜ α ( x ) Π α ( s ) d s ,

and

I I 0 = [ 1 , 1 ] d { | x | r 1 sin θ r 0 2 c } f ( x ) d μ ˜ α ( x ) Π α ( s ) d s .

Similarly for i = 1 with (15), we obtain

μ ˜ α { x E 1 : r 1 | x | 2 r 1 } C λ E 1 r 1 2 ( | | + d ) 1 d σ ( x ¯ ) ( I 1 + I I 1 ) , (17)

with

I 1 = [ 1 , 1 ] d { | x | r 1 sin θ r 1 2 c } e c sin 2 θ r 1 2 f ( x ) d μ ˜ α ( x ) Π α ( s ) d s ,

and

I I 1 = [ 1 , 1 ] d { sin θ r 1 2 c } f ( x ) d μ ˜ α ( x ) Π α ( s ) d s .

It is immediate to verify that

r 0 2 ( 2 ( | | + d ) 1 ) [ 1 , 1 ] d { x : sin θ r 0 2 c } σ ( x ) Π α ( s ) d s C

and

r 1 2 ( | | + d ) 1 [ 1 , 1 ] d { x : sin θ r 0 2 c } d σ ( x ) Π α ( s ) d s C .

Which give, after changing the order of integration in (16) and (17), the desired estimate for the terms involving II0 and II1, respectively as in [5]. Now let us prove that for | x | r 0

r 0 2 ( 2 ( | | + d ) 1 ) [ 1 , 1 ] d { x : sin θ r 0 2 c } e c r 0 4 sin 2 θ | x | 2 r 0 2 + sin θ r 0 2 ( | x | 2 r 0 2 + sin θ r 0 2 ) 2 ( | | + d ) 1 2 d σ ( x ) Π α ( s ) d s C

and for | x | > r 1

r 1 2 ( | | + d ) 1 [ 1 , 1 ] d { x : sin θ r 1 2 c } e c sin 2 θ r 1 2 d σ ( x ) Π α ( s ) d s C .

Firstly, one considers the case where = ( n 1 2 , 1 , , n d 2 1 ) with n i N and

n i > 1 for each i = 1 , , d . In this case the inner integrals can be interpreted as integrals over S | n | 1 with respect to the Lebesgue measure, expressed in polyradial

coordinates in [11]. The same estimates are obtained also for N d 2 1 + i R d .

Finally the result for the other values of are obtained via the multidimensional Stein’s complex interpolation Theorem. Indeed, let F : C d C the function defined by

F ( ξ ) = r 0 2 ( 2 ξ + 2 d 1 ) { sin θ r 0 2 c } e c r 0 4 sin 2 θ | x | 2 r 0 2 + sin θ r 0 2 ( | x | 2 r 0 2 + sin θ r 0 2 ) 2 ( | ξ | + d ) 1 2 Π ξ ( s ) d s .

We have seen that | F ( n 2 1 ) | C and it is easy to prove that | F ( n 2 1 + i ζ ) | | F ( n 2 1 ) | , whenever n is a integer vector and ζ R d .

Now we introduce the possible roots of the equations mentioned in the following Remark see [13]

Remark 5: 1) a) if r 0 = r 1 then we have

r 0 2 | α | + 2 d 1 = 1 ,

and

2 | α | + 2 d 1 = 0 ,

which implies that

| α | = 1 2 ( 1 2 d ) ,

b) if r 0 r 1 we have the quadratic equation

( 2 | α | + 2 d ) ln r 0 = ln r 1 + r 1 2 r 0 2

we assume, for simplicity, that r 0 = e n and r 1 = e 2 n we can find

( 2 | α | + 2 d ) ln e n = ln e 2 n + e 4 n e 2 n

( e 2 n ) 2 e 2 n + 2 n ( 1 | α | d ) = 0

so that

e 2 n = 1 ± 1 8 n ( 1 | α | d ) 2 ,

where n 1 , we can easily find r 0 .

2) S 0 and S 1 aremonotone.

3) Since | x | 2 ( | | + d ) | x | < 1 , then | x | 2 ( | | + d ) | x | < C .

Proposition 6: For all m, the operator

T 0 m + 1 f ( x ) = p . v . R + d [ 1 , 1 ] d χ R 0 ( x , s ) K m + 1 ( x , s ) Π ( s ) d s f ( x ) d ( m + 1 ) ( x ) ,

which is the modified Riesz-Laguerre transform restricted to the local regionR0, is of weak type (1, 1) with respect to the measure μ ˜

Proof. The proof of this result follows the same steps like the proof of the weak-type boundedness on the local zone of the first order Riesz-Laguerre transforms done in [4] [9]. For the former we have the Calderon–Zygmund-type estimates for the kernel K m + 1 .

Lemma 7: There exists a constant C such that

| K m + 1 ( x , s ) | φ ( x , s ) C ( 2 | x | 2 ( 1 cos θ ) ) ( | | + d ) ,

| ( x , x ) ( K m + 1 ( x , s ) φ ( x , s ) ) | C ( 2 | x | 2 ( 1 cos θ ) ) ( | | + d + 1 / 2 )

being φ ( x , s ) acut-off function defined in [3] and ( x , s ) R 0 .

Proof. Since | x i ( r s i ) | q 1 / 2 ( r x 2 , x 2 , s ) , then

| i = 1 d H a i ( x i ( r s i ) 1 r ) | e q ( r x 2 , x 2 , s ) 1 r k = 0 | m + 1 | ( q 1 / 2 ( r x 2 , x 2 , s ) 1 r ) k / 2 e q ( r x 2 , x 2 , s ) 1 r

e q ( r x 2 , x 2 , s ) 2 ( 1 r ) e c q ( r x 2 , x 2 , s ) 1 r ,

where last inequality follows from this one:

q ( r x 2 , x 2 , s ) ( 2 | x | 2 ( 1 cos θ ) ) 1 / 2 2 C ( 1 r 1 / 2 )

when ( x , s ) R 0 in [6]. Thus on R 0

| K m + 1 ( x , s ) | φ ( x , s ) 1 / 2 1 ( r ) | m + 1 | 1 ( log r 1 r ) | m + 1 | 2 2 e c q ( r x 2 , x 2 , s ) 1 r ( 1 r ) | | + d + 1 d r 0 1 / 2 ( r ) | m + 1 | 2 ( log r ) | m + 1 | 2 2 d r + 1 / 2 1 e c q ( r x 2 , x 2 , s ) 1 r ( 1 r ) | | + d + 1 d r 1 + ( 2 | x | 2 ( 1 cos θ ) ) ( | | + d ) .

In computing the gradient to f the kernel with respect to x we are going to have integrals such as K m + 1 ( x , s ) x j ( x , s ) ,

0 1 ( r ) | m + 1 | 1 ( log r 1 r ) | m + 1 | 2 2 i j H a i ( x i ( r s i ) 1 r ) × H a i 1 ( x i ( r s i ) 1 r ) e q ( r x 2 , x 2 , s ) 1 r ( 1 r ) | | + d + 3 / 2 d r ,

with H 1 0 and

0 1 ( r ) | m + 1 | 2 ( log r 1 r ) | m + 1 | 2 2 H a i ( x i ( r s i ) 1 r ) × x j ( r s j ) 1 r e q ( r x 2 , x 2 , s ) 1 r ( 1 r ) | | + d + 3 / 2 d r .

In order to estimate these three integrals we use the same estimates described at the beginning of this proof. For the first one we have to use

2 | x φ ( x , s ) | 1 ( 2 | x | 2 ( 1 cos θ ) ) 1 / 2

The gradient with respect to x is treated similarly.

For the latter we have the following Theorem regarding the L p d μ ˜ -boundedness for 1 < p < of the modified Riesz-Laguerre transform of any order on G.

Theorem8: The operator

R g m + 1 f ( x ) = R + d [ 1 , 1 ] d χ G ( x , s ) K m + 1 ( x , s ) Π ( s ) d s f ( x ) d μ ( x )

is strong-type ( p , p ) for 1 < p < with respect to the measure μ ˜ .

Proof.The proof of this result in [1] is an adaptation to our context of the same result for the higher order Riesz–Gauss transform s done in [6]. Taking into account that on G, q + ( x 2 , s ) q ( x 2 , s ) c when cos θ 0 , an upperbound for | K m + 1 ( x , s ) | is

K ˜ ˜ m + 1 ( x , s ) = { ( 2 | x | 2 ) | m + 1 | 2 2 e | x | 2 if cos θ < 0 , ( 2 | x | 2 ( 1 + cos θ ) ) | α | + d ( 2 | x | 2 sin θ ) | m + 1 | 1 2 e | x | 2 sin θ if cos θ 0.

Thus

R + d | G { cos θ < 0 } K m + 1 ( x , s ) Π ( s ) d s f ( x ) d μ ( x ) | p d μ ˜ R + d ( G { cos θ < 0 } K ˜ ˜ m + 1 ( x , s ) Π ( s ) d s | f ( x ) | d μ ( x ) ) p d μ ˜ R + d ( R + d ( 2 | x | 2 ) p ( | m + 1 | 2 ) 2 d μ ˜ ) p 1 d μ ˜ ( x ) f L p ( d μ ˜ ) p .

For the region G { cos θ 0 } we are going to use the following estimates:

2 x 2 q + | 2 x | 2 , q 0 , ( q + q ) 1 2 0 ,

0 | 1 p 1 2 | | x | 2 sin θ < | x | 2 sin θ , since p > 1 ,

R + d | G { cos θ < 0 } K m + 1 ( x , s ) Π ( s ) d s f ( x ) d μ ( x ) | p d μ ˜ R + d ( G { cos θ < 0 } K ˜ ˜ m + 1 ( x , s ) Π ( s ) d s | f ( x ) | d μ ( x ) ) p d μ ˜ R + d ( G { cos θ < 0 } | 2 x | 2 ( | | + d ) ( 2 | x | 2 sin θ ) ( m + 1 ) 1 2 e 2 | x | 2 sin θ 2 Π ( s ) d s × | f ( x ) | e | x | 2 p d μ ( x ) ) p d μ ( x ) R + d ( G { cos θ < 0 } | 2 x | 2 ( | | + d ) ( 2 | x | 2 sin θ ) ( m + 1 ) 1 2 e ( 1 2 | 1 p 1 2 | ) | x | 2 sin θ Π ( s ) d s × | f ( x ) | e | x | 2 p d μ ( x ) ) p d μ ( x ) R + d ( G { cos θ < 0 } | 2 x | 2 ( | | + d ) ( 2 | x | 2 sin θ ) ( m + 1 ) 1 2 e c | x | 2 sin θ Π ( s ) d s × | f ( x ) | e | x | 2 p d μ ( x ) ) p d μ ( x ) .

To finish the proof we just need to check that the kernel

H ( x , s ) : = | 2 x | 2 ( | | + d ) e c p 2 | x | 2 sin θ χ G { cos θ 0 } ,

for G = { ( x , s ) : q 1 2 ( x 2 , s ) c 1 + 2 | x | } is in L 1 ( d ( m + 1 ) ( x ) )

and independently of the remaining variables. Due to the symmetry of the kernel we are going to check only the first Claim given in [1].

R + d H ( x , s ) d ( m + 1 ) ( x ) 0 1 | x | 2 ( | | + d ) e c p | x | ( 2 | x | 2 ( 1 cos θ ) ) 1 / 2 d ( m + 1 ) ( x ) + 0 > 1 2 | x | 2 ( | | + d ) e c ˜ p ( 2 | x | ) d ( m + 1 ) ( x ) .

It is clear that the second integral is bounded independentl y of x and s, for the first one see (13) for any x.

It is known that the first order Riesz-Laguerre transforms are weak-type (1, 1). Furthermore, we also know from that the the Riesz-Laguerre transforms of order higher than 2 need not be weak-type (1, 1) with respect to μ α . However, we can prove the following result that has to do with certain kind of weights we can add on the domain of these transforms to make them satisfy a weak-type inequality.

Let us mention that in the Gaussian context something quite similar occur with the higher order Riesz-Gauss transforms. Perez proved that for | m + 1 | > 2 , the Riesz-Gauss transforms of order | m + 1 | associated to the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck semigroup, map L 1 ( ( 1 + | x | | m + 1 | 2 ) d γ ) continuously into L 1 , ( d γ ) , with d γ ( x ) = e | x | 2 d x . Regarding the weights for the Riesz-Laguerre transforms of order higher than 2, then [1] proved the following

Theorem 9: The Riesz-Laguerre transforms order | m + 1 | with | m + 1 | > 2 , map L 1 ( w d μ α ) continuously into L 1 , ( d μ α ) . Where

w ( x ) = ( 1 + | x | ) | m + 1 | 2

Proof. As we mention in the preliminaries to prove this theorem is equivalent to prove that the modified Riesz-Laguerre transforms of order higher than 2 map L 1 ( w ˜ ε d μ ˜ ) continuously into L 1 , ( d μ ˜ ) , with w ˜ ( x ) = ( 1 + | x | ) | m + 1 | 2 . For each x R + d . Let us write

R + d × [ 1 , 1 ] d = i = 0 4 R i .

Therefore, in order to get the result, it will be enough to prove that each of the following operators

T i m + 1 f ( x ) = R + d [ 1 , 1 ] d χ R i ( x , s ) K m + 1 ( x , s ) Π ( s ) d s f ( x ) d μ ( x ) ,

for i = 0 , , 4 maps L 1 ( w ˜ ε d μ ˜ ) continuously into L 1 , ( d μ ˜ ) .

0

| K m + 1 ( x , s ) | { ( 2 | x | 2 ) | m + 1 | 2 2 K * ( x , s ) , if cos θ < 0 , ( 2 | x | 2 sin θ ) | m + 1 | 2 2 K * ( x , s ) , cos θ 0

If ( x , s ) R i , | k m + 1 ( x , s ) | is controlled by C ( 1 + { | x | } ) | m + 1 | 2 e | x | 2 and there for it is immediate to prove that T 1 m + 1 maps L 1 ( w ˜ ε d μ ˜ ) into L 1 ( d μ ˜ ) .

Now if ( x , s ) R i , with i = 2 , 3 , 4 , weclaim that

| K m + 1 ( x , s ) | w ˜ ( x ) K * ( x , s )

If ( x , s ) R 2 since

q + ( 2 | x | ) 2 | x | 2 ,

then

| K m + 1 ( x , s ) | ( 2 | x | 2 sin θ ) | m + 1 | 2 2 e C ( | x | 4 ( 1 cos θ ) ) 1 / 2 w ˜ ( x ) e C ( | x | 4 ( 1 cos θ ) ) 1 / 2 .

Also

q + q = 4 | x | 4 sin 2 θ .

Thus

| K m + 1 ( x , s ) | ( 2 | x | 2 sin θ ) | m + 1 | 2 2 K * ( x , s ) w ˜ ( x ) K * ( x , s ) .

And this concludes the proof of the Theorem.

It should be noted that there is another proof of Theorem 9 for multi-indices of half-integer type by taking f w as the function f in [3] [7].

Now we introduce a sharp estimate forw.

Corollary 10: The Riesz-Laguerre transforms of order | m + 1 | with | m + 1 | > 2 , map L 1 ( w d μ α ) continuously into L 1 , ( d μ α ) . Where

| | = 8 n ( 1 d ) 1 ( 2 e 2 n 1 ) 2 8 n

and

w ( x ) ( 1 + | C | ) | m + 1 | 2 = K | m + 1 | 2

Proof. From Theorem 9 and Remark 5: We can directly see that

w ( x ) = ( 1 + | x | ) | m + 1 | 2 ( 1 + | C | ) | m + 1 | 2 K | m + 1 | 2 ,

where m 2 .

Theorem 11: The weight w is the optimal polynomial weight needed to get the weak type (1, 1) inequality for the Riesz-Laguerre transforms of order | m + 1 | .

Proof. This proof follows essentially in [9]. With the notation of that Theorem 1 One takes η + d with | η | sufficiently large, away from the axis and obtains the following lower bound for K m + 1 ( x , η )

K m + 1 ( x , η ) = C [ 1 , 1 ] d K m + 1 ( x , η , s ) Π ( s ) d s C | η | | m + 1 | 2 | | d 1 e ξ 2 | η | 2 (18)

for x J = { ξ η | η | + v : v η , | v | < 1 , 1 2 | η | < ξ < 3 2 | η | } .

Now if we assume that the Riesz-Laguerre transforms of order | m + 1 | > 2 map L 1 ( w ˜ ε d μ ˜ ) continuously into L 1 , ( d μ ˜ ) with w ˜ ε = ( 1 + | x | ) ε and

0 < ε < | m + 1 | 2 then by taking f 0 in L 1 ( w ˜ ε d μ ˜ ) close to an approxima tion of a point mass at η, with f L 1 ( w ˜ ε d μ ˜ ) = 1 we have that R m + 1 f ( x ) is close

to e | η | 2 K m + 1 ( x , η ) | η | ε and by applying in equality (18) we get that

e | n | k m + 1 ( x , η ) | η | ϵ | η | | m + 1 | 2 | α | d 1 ϵ e ( | n | 2 ) 2 . Therefore setting

λ = | η | | m + 1 | 2 | α | d 1 ϵ e ( | n | 2 ) 2

we obtain

e ( | η | 2 ) 2 | η | 2 | α | + d 1 μ ˜ α ( J ) μ ˜ α { x R + d : R α m + 1 f ( x ) > λ } 1 λ = C | η | 2 | α | + d | m + 1 | + 1 + ϵ e ( | η | 2 ) 2 .

Hence | η | | m + 1 | 2 ϵ must be bounded which is a contradiction. Therefore the conclusion of Theorem 11 holds.
