1. Introduction

Let μ be a positive Radon measures on d satisfying only the growth condition, that is, there exists a constant C > 0 and n ( 0, d ] such that

μ ( Q ) C l ( Q ) n (1)

for any cube Q d with sides parallel to the coordinate axes. Q ( x , l ( Q ) ) will be the cube centered at x with side length l ( Q ) . For r > 0 , rQ will denote the cube with the same center as Q and with l ( r Q ) = r l ( Q ) . The set of all cubes Q d , satisfying μ ( Q ) > 0 is denoted by L ( μ ) . In this note, we do not assume that μ is doubling.

Nazarov, Treil and Volberg developed the theory of the singular integrals for the measures with growth condition to investigate the analytic capacity on the complex plane [1] [2]. Tolsa showed that the analytic capacity is subadditive and that it is bi-Lipschitz invariant [3] [4] and defined for the growth measures RBMO (regular bounded mean oscillation) space, the Hardy space H 1 ( μ ) and the Littlewood-Paley decomposition [5] [6]. He also gave his H 1 ( μ ) space in terms of the grand maximal operator [7]. Recently many people paid attention to the measure with growth condition because of recovering the Calderón-Zygmund theory and solving the long-standing open Painlevé problem.

The boundedness of fractional integral operators on the classical Morrey spaces was studied by Adams [8], Chiarenza et al. [9]. In [9], by establishing a pointwise estimate of fractional integrals in terms of the Hardy-Littlewood maximal function, they showed the boundedness of fractional integral operators on the Morrey spaces. In 2005, Sawano and Tanaka [10] gave a natural definition of Morrey spaces for Radon measures which might be non-doubling but satisfied the growth condition, and they investigated the boundedness in these spaces of some classical operators in harmonic analysis. Later on, Sawano [11] defined the generalized Morrey spaces on n for non-doubling measure and showed the properties of maximal operators, fractional integral operators and singular operators in this space.

A classical result of commutator is due to Coifman, Rochberg and Weiss [12], if b B M O and T is a Calderón-Zygmund operator, then the commutator [ b , T ] is bounded on L p spaces for 1 < p < . The same result for the multilinear commutator was obtained by Pérez and Trujillo-Gonzalez [13]. Tolsa [5] developed the theory of Calderón-Zygmund operators and their commutators with RBMO functions in the setting of non-doubling measures. Hu, Meng and Yang [14] considered the multilinear commutator on Lebesgue spaces with non-doubling measures. Chen and Sawyer [15] modified the definition of RBMO to investigate the commutators of the potential operators and RBMO functions.

In the last decade, multilinear singular integrals of Calderón-Zygmund type have attracted great attentions. Some interesting results refer to [16] [17] [18] [19] [20] in the text of Lebesgue measures. It points out that Perez and Pradolini [21] introduced a said iterated commutators generated by the multilinear singular integral operators with Calderón-Zygmund type and vector function b R B M O m and obtained the boundedness from L p 1 × × L p m to L p with 1 / p = 1 / p 1 + + 1 / p m for 1 < p 1 , , p m < (in fact, they considered the weighted case). Xu [22] extended the result to the case of the non-doubling measures. Very recently, Tao and He [23] obtained the boundedness of the multilinear Calderón-Zygmund operators on the generalized Morrey spaces over the quasi-metric space of non-homogeneoustype. The aim of this paper is to study the iterated commutators of multilinear singular integral operators on Morrey spaces with non-doubling measures.

Before stating our result, we recall some definitions and notation. Given β d 2 d + 1 large enough but depending only on the dimension d, we say that a cube Q d is doubling if μ ( 2 Q ) β d μ ( Q ) . For any fixed cube Q d , let N be the smallest nonnegative integer such that 2 N Q is doubling. We denote this cube by Q ˜ .

For two cubes Q R in d , we suppose

K Q , R = 1 + k = 1 N Q , R μ ( 2 k Q ) l ( 2 k Q ) n , (2)

where N Q , R is the first positive integer k such that l ( 2 k Q ) l ( R ) . This was introduced by Tolsa in [5].

Let m Q f be the mean value of f on Q, namely, m Q f = 1 μ ( Q ) Q f ( x ) d μ . The regularity bounded mean oscillations function spaces were introduced by Tolsa [5].

Definition 1.1. Let η > 1 be a fixed constant. We say that f L l o c 1 ( μ ) is in RBMO if there exists a constant A such that

1 μ ( η Q ) Q | f ( y ) m Q ˜ f | d μ ( y ) A , (3)

for any cube Q, and

| m Q f m R f | A K Q , R , (4)

for any two doubling cubes Q R . The mininal constant A is the R B M O ( μ ) norm of f, and it will be denoted by f .

The definition of the Morrey space with non-doubling measure is given in the following [10].

Definition 1.2. Let k > 1 and 1 q p < , the Morrey space M q p ( k , μ ) is defined as

M q p ( k , μ ) : = { f L l o c q ( μ ) : f M q p ( k , μ ) < } ,

where

f M q p ( k , μ ) : = sup Q L ( μ ) μ ( k Q ) 1 p 1 q ( Q | f | q d μ ) 1 q . (5)

It is easy to observe that L p ( μ ) = M p p ( k , μ ) , and Hölder’s inequality tells us f M q 2 p ( k , μ ) f M q 1 p ( k , μ ) for all 1 q 2 q 1 p , then we have L p ( μ ) = M p p ( k , μ ) M q 1 p ( k , μ ) M q 2 p ( k , μ ) . The space M q p ( k , μ ) is a Banach space with its norm f M q p ( k , μ ) and the parameter k > 1 appearing in the definition does not affect it. The Morrey space norm reflects local regularity of f more precisely than the Lebesgue space norm. See [10] [11] [24] for details. We will denote M q p ( 2, μ ) by M q p ( μ ) .

Denoting by f = ( f 1 , f 2 , , f m ) , we consider the multilinear singular integral operator T m as follows,

T m ( f ) ( x ) = ( d ) m K ( x , y 1 , , y m ) f 1 ( y 1 ) f m ( y m ) d μ ( y 1 ) d μ ( y m ) for x d , (6)

whenever f 1 , , f m are C -functions with compact support and x j = 1 m supp f j . Moreover,

| K ( y 0 , y 1 , , y m ) | A ( k , l = 0 m | y k y l | ) m n (7)

and, for some ϵ > 0 ,

| K ( y 0 , y 1 , , y j , , y m ) K ( y 0 , y 1 , , y j , , y m ) | A | y j y j | ϵ ( k , l = 0 m | y k y l | ) m n + ϵ (8)

provided that 0 j m and | y j y j | 1 2 max 0 k m | y j y k | .

Let b i R B M O ( μ ) for i = 1 , 2 , , m and let b = ( b 1 , b 2 , , b m ) , then the iterated commutator ( T m ) b is formally defined as

( T m ) b ( f ) ( x ) = ( d ) m j = 1 m ( b j ( x ) b j ( y j ) ) K ( x , y 1 , , y m ) × f 1 ( y 1 ) f m ( y m ) d μ ( y 1 ) d μ ( y m ) . (9)

Suppose μ = the main result in this paper can be stated as follow.

Theorem 1.1. Let ( T m ) b as in (9) and satisfying conditions (7) and (8). Let 1 < q j p j < with 1 p = 1 p 1 + + 1 p m and 1 q = 1 q 1 + + 1 q m . Suppose b i R B M O ( μ ) for i = 1 , 2 , , m . If T m maps L 1 ( μ ) × × L 1 ( μ ) to L 1 / m , ( μ ) , then the commutators ( T m ) b are bounded from M q 1 p 1 ( μ ) × × M q m p m ( μ ) to M q p ( μ ) , that is,

( T m ) b ( f ) ( x ) M q p ( μ ) C i = 1 m b i f i M q i p i ( μ ) . (10)

More generally, denote by C i m the family of all subsets σ = { σ 1 , σ 2 , , σ i } of i different elements of { 1,2, , m } , and let σ = { 1 , 2 , , m } \ σ and b σ = { b σ 1 , b σ 2 , , b σ i } . For any σ C i m , we define

( T m ) b σ ( f ) ( x ) = ( d ) m σ j σ ( b σ j ( x ) b σ j ( y σ j ) ) K ( x , y 1 , , y m ) × f 1 ( y 1 ) f m ( y m ) d μ ( y 1 ) d μ ( y m ) . (11)

In case σ = { 1 , 2 , , m } , one sees that ( T m ) b σ is just the commutator ( T m ) b . So we have a more generalization version of the theorem as following.

Theorem 1.2. Let ( T m ) b σ as in (11) and satisfying conditions (7) and (8). Let 1 < q j p j < with 1 p = 1 p 1 + + 1 p m and 1 q = 1 q 1 + + 1 q m . Suppose b i R B M O ( μ ) for i = 1 , 2 , , m . If T m maps L 1 ( μ ) × × L 1 ( μ ) to L 1 / m , ( μ ) , then for all σ { 1,2, , m } , the commutators ( T m ) b σ are bounded from M q 1 p 1 ( μ ) × × M q m p m ( μ ) to M q p ( μ ) , that is,

( T m ) b σ ( f ) ( x ) M q p ( μ ) C j σ b j i = 1 m f i M q i p i ( μ ) . (12)

2. Proof of Main Results

Before proving our theorem, we recall the following maximal operator,

M k f ( x ) = sup x Q L ( μ ) 1 μ ( k Q ) Q | f ( y ) | d μ ( y ) . (13)

we will use the sharp maximal estimates. Let f be a function in L l o c 1 ( μ ) , the sharp maximal function of f is defined by

M # f ( x ) = sup Q x 1 μ ( 3 2 Q ) Q | f ( y ) m Q ˜ f | d μ ( y ) + sup R Q x Q , R doubling | m Q f m R f | K Q , R (14)

The non-centered doubling maximal operator is defined by

N f ( x ) = sup Q x , Q doubling 1 μ ( Q ) Q | f ( y ) | d μ ( y ) . (15)

By the Lebesgue differential theorem, it is easy to see that | f ( x ) | N f ( x ) for any f L l o c 1 ( μ ) and μ a . e . x d . Define the non-centered maximal operator,

M τ , η f ( x ) = sup Q x { 1 μ ( η Q ) Q | f ( y ) | τ d μ ( y ) } 1 τ . (16)

for η > 1 and τ > 1 , where the supremum is taking over all the cubes Q containing the point x.

To prove Theorem 1.2 is reduced to the following lemmas.

Lemma 2.1. Let τ > 1 , s i > 1 , b i R B M O ( μ ) and f i L q i ( μ ) , i = 1,2, , m and σ { 1,2, , m } . If T m maps L 1 ( μ ) × × L 1 ( μ ) to L 1 / m , ( μ ) and satisfying conditions (7) and (8). Then we have

M # ( ( T m ) b σ ( f ) ) ( x ) C [ j σ b j M τ , 3 2 ( T m ( f ) ) ( x ) + σ 1 σ 2 = σ σ 1 , σ 2 j σ 1 b j M τ , 3 2 ( T m ) b σ 2 ( f ) ( x ) + j σ b j j = 1 m M s j , 9 8 f j ( x ) ] . (17)

We postpone the proof of Lemma 2.1 after of Theorem 1.2.

Lemma 2.2. [10] Let q > τ > 1 , η > 1 , and 1 < q p < , then the operator M τ , η is bounded on M q p ( μ ) and

M τ , η ( f ) M q p ( μ ) C f M q p ( μ ) .

with the constant C independent of f.

Lemma 2.3. [24] Suppose that 1 < q p < , and there exists an increasing sequence of concentric doubling cubes, I 0 I 1 I k , such that

lim k m I k ( f ) = 0 and k = 0 I k = d .

Then there exist a constant C > 0 independent on f such that

N f M q p ( μ ) C M # M q p ( μ ) .

Lemma 2.4. [25] Let 1 < p i < and 1 p = 1 p 1 + + 1 p m . If T m maps L 1 ( μ ) × × L 1 ( μ ) to L 1 / m , ( μ ) and satisfying conditions (7) and (8). Then there exists a constant C independent of f i such that

T m ( f ) L p ( μ ) C i = 1 m f i L p i ( μ ) .

Remark 2.1. If T m maps L 1 ( μ ) × × L 1 ( μ ) to L 1 / m , ( μ ) and satisfying conditions (7) and (8), with 1 < q i p i < , 1 p = 1 p 1 + + 1 p m and 1 q = 1 q 1 + + 1 q m . From Corollary 1.8 in [23], we can easily get that T m is bounded from M q 1 p 1 ( μ ) × × M q m p m ( μ ) to M q p ( μ ) .

Proof of Theorem 1.2. Using Lemma 2.1, Lemma 2.2, Lemma 2.3 and Lemma 2.4, we get that

( T m ) b i ( f ) M q p ( μ ) C N ( ( T m ) b i ( f ) ) M q p ( μ ) C M # ( ( T m ) b i ( f ) ) M q p ( μ ) C b i M τ , 3 2 ( T m ( f ) ) ( x ) + i = 1 m M s i , 9 8 f i M q p ( μ ) C b i M τ , 3 2 ( T m ( f ) ) M q p ( μ ) + C b i i = 1 m M s i , 9 8 f i M q p ( μ ) C b i T m ( f ) M q p ( μ ) + C b i i = 1 m f i M q j p j ( μ ) C b i j = 1 m f i M q j p j ( μ ) .

Applying the inequality (17) in Lemma 2.1, for σ { 1,2, , m } , we have

( T m ) b σ ( f ) M q p ( μ ) C N ( ( T m ) b σ ( f ) ) M q p ( μ ) C M # ( ( T m ) b σ ( f ) ) M q p ( μ ) C j σ b j M τ , 3 2 ( T m ( f ) ) + σ 1 σ 2 = σ σ 1 σ 2 j σ 1 b j M τ , 3 2 ( ( T m ) b σ 2 ( f ) ) + j σ b j j = 1 m M s j , 9 8 f j M q p ( μ ) C j σ b j j = 1 m f j M q j p j ( μ ) + C σ 1 σ 2 = σ σ 1 σ 2 j σ 1 b j M τ , 3 2 ( ( T m ) b σ 2 ( f ) ) M q p ( μ ) C j σ b j j = 1 m f j M q j p j ( μ ) + C σ 1 σ 2 = σ σ 1 σ 2 j σ 1 b j ( T m ) b σ 2 ( f ) M q p (μ)

where σ 1 and σ 2 are two nonempty subsets of σ and σ 1 σ 2 = . Hence, we can make use of induction on σ { 1,2, , m } to get that

( T m ) b σ ( f ) M q p ( μ ) C j σ b j i = 1 m f i M q i p i ( μ ) . (18)

This completes the proof of Theorem 1.2.☐

For simplicity of the notation, we only show the special case σ = { 1 , , m } of Lemma 2.1. The similar process with minor modification will be to able prove Lemma 2.1 for the general case.

Lemma 2.5. Let τ > 1 , s i > 1 , b i R B M O ( μ ) and f i L q i ( μ ) , i = 1 , 2 , , m . If T m maps L 1 ( μ ) × × L 1 ( μ ) to L 1 / m , ( μ ) and satisfying conditions (7) and (8), then there exists a constant C > 0 independent of b i and f i such that

M # ( ( T m ) b ( f ) ) ( x ) C [ i = 1 m b i M τ , 3 2 ( T m ( f ) ) ( x ) + i = 1 m 1 σ C i m j σ b j M η , 3 2 ( ( T m ) b σ ( f ) ) ( x ) + i = 1 m b i M s i , 9 8 f i ( x ) ] (19)

In order to prove Lemma 2.5, we have the following decomposition for the commutators ( T m ) b . For any λ = ( λ 1 , λ 2 , , λ m ) m , writing b σ ( x ) b σ ( y ) = ( b σ ( x ) λ σ ) ( b σ ( y ) λ σ ) , thus it is clear that ( T m ) b σ ( f ) = ( T m ) ( b σ λ σ ) ( f ) . Moreover,

( T m ) b ( f ) ( x ) = i = 0 m σ C i m ( 1 ) m i σ j σ ( b σ j ( x ) λ σ j ) × ( d ) m σ k σ ( b σ k ( y ) λ σ k ) × K ( x , y 1 , , y m ) f 1 ( y 1 ) f m ( y m ) d μ ( y 1 ) d μ ( y m ) . (20)

By expanding b σ k ( y ) λ σ k = ( b σ k ( y ) b σ k ( x ) ) ( b σ k ( x ) λ σ k ) and

σ k σ ( b σ k ( y ) λ σ k ) = σ ( 1 ) σ ( 2 ) = σ σ ( 1 ) σ ( 2 ) = σ u σ ( 1 ) ( b σ u ( y ) b σ u ( x ) ) σ v σ ( 2 ) ( b σ v ( x ) λ σ v ) ,

hence we can obtain from the equality (20) that

( T m ) b ( f ) ( x ) = j = 1 m ( b j ( x ) λ j ) T m ( f ) ( x ) + ( 1 ) m T m ( ( b λ ) f ) ( x ) + i = 1 m 1 σ C i m C m , i σ j σ ( b σ j ( x ) λ σ j ) × ( T m ) b σ ( f ) ( x ) (21)

where C m , i are constants depending only on m and i.

Proof of Lemma 2.5. For simplicity, we denote by R ( b , f ) ( x ) the quantities on the right hand side of the inequality (19). Recall the definition of the sharp maximal operator M # , and use the standard technique, see [15] for example, we only need to prove that

1 μ ( 3 2 Q ) Q | ( T m ) b ( f ) ( z ) h Q | d μ ( z ) C R ( b , f ) ( x ) (22)

and

| h Q h R | C ( K Q , R ) 2 m R ( b , f ) ( x ) (23)

with the absolute constant C independent of b , f , Q and R, where R is any doubling cube with Q R . In fact, we take

h Q = ( 1 ) m m Q ( T m ( ( m Q ˜ ( b 1 ) b 1 ) f 1 χ d \ 4 3 Q , , ( m Q ˜ ( b m ) b m ) f m χ d \ 4 3 Q ) ) (24)

and clearly

h R = ( 1 ) m m R ( T m ( ( m R ˜ ( b 1 ) b 1 ) f 1 χ d \ 4 3 R , , ( m R ˜ ( b m ) b m ) f m χ d \ 4 3 R ) ) (25)

Recall the equality (21), for any z Q , we have that

| ( T m ) b ( f ) ( z ) h Q | | j = 1 m ( b j ( x ) m Q ˜ ( b j ) ) T m ( f ) ( z ) | + | i = 1 m 1 σ C i m C i , m σ j σ ( b σ j ( z ) m Q ˜ ( b σ j ) ) ( T m ) b σ ( f ) ( z ) | + | ( 1 ) m T m ( ( b m Q ˜ ( b ) ) f ) ( z ) h Q | = : I ( z ) + I I ( z ) + I I I ( z ) . (26)

In order to show the inequality (22), we will calculate the integrals for the three functions above, respectively. Firstly, for τ > 1 , by the Hölder inequality one sees that

1 μ ( 3 2 Q ) Q | I ( z ) | d μ ( z ) i = 1 m ( 1 μ ( 3 2 Q ) Q | b i ( z ) m Q ˜ ( b i ) | τ i d μ ( z ) ) 1 τ i ( 1 μ ( 3 2 Q ) Q | T m ( f ) | τ d μ ( z ) ) 1 τ C b 1 b 2 b m M τ , 3 2 ( T m ( f ) ) ( x ) (27)

where we have choose τ i > 1 such that 1 τ 1 + 1 τ 2 + + 1 τ m + 1 τ = 1 .

Similarly, for τ > 1 , by the Hölder inequality, we also deduce that

1 μ ( 3 2 Q ) Q | I I ( z ) | d μ ( z ) C i = 1 m 1 σ C i m σ j σ b σ j M τ , 3 2 ( ( T m ) b σ ( f ) ) ( x ) . (28)

To estimate the integral related to the function I I I ( z ) , we split f i as f i = f i 0 + f i , where f i 0 = f χ 4 3 Q and f i = f i f i 0 , this yields

j = 1 m f j ( y j ) = α 1 , α 2 , , α m { 0 , } f 1 α 1 ( y 1 ) f m α m ( y m ) = j = 1 m f j 0 ( y j ) + f 1 α 1 ( y 1 ) f m α m ( y m ) + j = 1 m f j ( y j ) , (29)

where each term in satisfies that α j 1 = α j 2 = = α j λ = 0 , for some 1 λ < m and some { j 1 , j 2 , , j λ } { 1,2, , m } . So we can decompose the function I I I ( z ) further into three parts as follows

I I I ( z ) | T m ( ( b 1 m Q ˜ ( b 1 ) ) f 1 0 , , ( b m m Q ˜ ( b m ) ) f m 0 ) ( z ) | + | T m ( ( b 1 m Q ˜ ( b 1 ) ) f 1 α 1 , , ( b m m Q ˜ ( b m ) ) f 1 α m ) ( z ) | + | ( 1 ) m T m ( ( b 1 m Q ˜ ( b 1 ) ) f 1 , , ( b m m Q ˜ ( b m ) ) f 1 ) ( z ) h Q | = : I I I 1 ( z ) + I I I 2 ( z ) + I I I 3 ( z ) . (30)

For s i > 1 ,we can take 1 < μ i < s i such that 1 v = 1 u 1 + 1 u 2 + + 1 u m and v > 1 . Let 1 u i = 1 s i + 1 t i for each i = 1 , 2 , , m , then 1 < t i < . Using Lemma 2.4, we know that the T m is bounded from L u 1 ( μ ) × L u 2 ( μ ) × × L u m ( μ ) to L v ( μ ) . Hence, by this boundedness and Hölder inequality, we have

1 μ ( 3 2 Q ) Q | I I I 1 ( z ) | d μ ( z ) μ ( Q ) 1 1 v μ ( 3 2 Q ) T m ( ( b 1 m Q ˜ ( b 1 ) ) f 1 0 , , ( b m m Q ˜ ( b m ) ) f m 0 ) ( z ) L v ( μ ) C μ ( 3 2 Q ) 1 v i = 1 m ( b i m Q ˜ ( b i ) ) f i 0 L u i ( μ ) C i = 1 m b i M s i , 9 8 f i ( x ) . (31)

In order to estimate the integral of terms I I I 2 ( z ) and I I I 3 ( z ) over Q, we will give their point-wise estimates. In fact, for z Q , since 1 λ m 1 we observe that

I I I 2 ( z ) = | T m ( ( b 1 m Q ˜ ( b 1 ) ) f 1 α 1 , , ( b m m Q ˜ ( b m ) ) f 1 α m ) ( z ) | C j { j 1 , , j λ } 4 3 Q | b j ( y j ) m Q ˜ ( b j ) | | f j ( y j ) | d μ ( y j ) × ( d \ 4 3 Q ) m λ j { j 1 , , j λ } | b j ( y j ) m Q ˜ ( b j ) | | f j ( y j ) | d μ ( y j ) ( j { j 1 , , j λ } | z y j | ) m n C j { j 1 , j 2 , , j λ } b j M s j , 9 8 f j ( x ) × k = 1 2 k λ n j { j 1 , j 2 , , j λ } b j ( k + 1 ) M s j , 9 8 f j ( x ) C j = 1 b j M s j , 9 8 f j ( x ) (32)

where we have used the fact (see [5] ) that, there is an absolute constant C such that, for any b R B M O , integer k 0 and cubes Q,

| m 2 k 4 3 Q ˜ ( b ) m Q ˜ ( b ) | C b K Q ˜ , 2 k 4 3 Q ˜ C b K Q ,2 k 4 3 Q C k b . (33)

On the other hand, for I I I 3 ( z ) , we note for any z , y Q that

| T m ( ( b 1 m Q ˜ ( b 1 ) ) f 1 , , ( b m m Q ˜ ( b m ) ) f m ) ( z ) T m ( ( b 1 m Q ˜ ( b 1 ) ) f 1 , , ( b m m Q ˜ ( b m ) ) f m ) ( y ) | ( d \ 4 3 Q ) m | K ( z , y 1 , , y m ) K ( y , y 1 , , y m ) | × | i = 1 m ( b i ( y i ) m Q ˜ ( b i ) ) f i | d μ ( y 1 ) d μ ( y 2 ) d μ (ym)

( d \ 4 3 Q ) m | z y | ϵ i = 1 m | ( b i ( y i ) m Q ˜ ( b i ) ) f i | ( k . l = 0 m | y k y l | ) m n + ϵ d μ ( y 1 ) d μ ( y m ) C i = 1 m k = 1 2 k 4 3 Q \ 2 k 1 4 3 Q l ( Q ) ϵ m l ( 2 k 3 2 Q ) n + ϵ m | ( b i ( y i ) m Q ˜ ( b i ) ) f i | d μ ( y i ) C i = 1 m k = 1 2 k m ( k + 1 ) b i M s i , 9 8 f i ( x ) C i = 1 m b i M s i , 9 8 f i ( x ) , (34)

where we have use the inequation (33) again.

Taking the mean over y Q , we can obtain that

1 μ ( 3 2 Q ) Q ( | I I I 2 ( z ) | + | I I I 3 ( z ) | ) d μ ( z ) C i = 1 m b i M s i , 9 8 f i ( x ) . (35)

Combing the inequalities (26) (27), (28), (30), (31) and (33), we see from the estimates of I , I I , I I I 1 , I I I 2 and I I I 3 that the desired inequality (22) holds.

Next we turn to estimate the inequality (23). For any cubes Q R with x Q , where R is doubling. We denote N Q , R + 2 by N, then 2 N Q 2 Q and 2 N Q 2 R . We recall the equality (29) and let f i 0 = f i χ 2 N Q \ 4 3 Q and f i R = f i χ 2 N Q \ 4 3 R , and let f i = f i χ d \ 2 N Q . Then we can write

| h Q h R | = | m Q [ T m ( ( m Q ˜ ( b 1 ) b 1 ) f 1 χ d \ 4 3 Q , , ( m Q ˜ ( b m ) b m ) f m χ d \ 4 3 Q ) ] m R [ T m ( ( m R ˜ ( b 1 ) b 1 ) f 1 χ d \ 4 3 R , , ( m R ˜ ( b m ) b m ) f m χ d \ 4 3 R ) ] | | m Q [ T m ( ( m Q ˜ ( b 1 ) b 1 ) f 1 , , ( m Q ˜ ( b m ) b m ) f m ) ] m R [ T m ( ( m Q ˜ ( b 1 ) b 1 ) f 1 , , ( m Q ˜ ( b m ) b m ) f m ) ] |

+ | m R [ T m ( ( m Q ˜ ( b 1 ) b 1 ) f 1 , , ( m Q ˜ ( b m ) b m ) f m ) ] m R [ T m ( ( m R ( b 1 ) b 1 ) f 1 , , ( m R ( b m ) b m ) f m ) ] | + α 1 , α 2 , , α m { 0 , } at least one α i | m Q [ T m ( ( m Q ˜ ( b 1 ) b 1 ) f 1 α 1 , , ( m Q ˜ ( b m ) b m ) f m α m ) ] | + α 1 , α 2 , , α m { R , } at least one α i | m R [ T m ( ( m R ( b 1 ) b 1 ) f 1 α 1 , , ( m R ( b m ) b m ) f m α m ) ] | = : A 1 + A 2 + A 3 + A 4 . (36)

For the term A 1 , noting

| m R ( b i ) m Q ˜ ( b i ) | C b i K Q , R (37)

and the similar argument as that for the estimate of I I I 3 , we can obtain that

A 1 C i = 1 m K Q , R b i M s i , 9 8 f i ( x ) C ( K Q , R ) m i = 1 m b i M s i , 9 8 f i ( x ) . (38)

To estimate A 2 , we recall the notations and note that, for any sequences ξ j and ζ j ,

j = 1 m ( ξ j + ζ j ) = i = 0 m σ C i m j σ ξ j j σ ζ j . (39)

Using this equality and expanding m Q ˜ ( b j ) b j ( y ) = [ m Q ˜ ( b j ) b j ( z ) ] + [ b j ( z ) b j ( y ) ] , we observe that

T m ( ( m Q ˜ ( b 1 ) b 1 ) f 1 , , ( m Q ˜ ( b m ) b m ) f m ) ( z ) = i = 0 m σ C i m j σ ( m Q ˜ ( b j ) b j ( z ) ) ( T m ) b σ ( f χ d \ 2 N Q ) ( z ) (40)

Similarly,

T m ( ( m R ( b 1 ) b 1 ) f 1 , , ( m R ( b m ) b m ) f m ) ( z ) = i = 0 m σ C i m j σ ( m R ( b j ) b j ( z ) ) ( T m ) b σ ( f χ d \ 2 N Q ) ( z ) . (41)

Thus

| T m ( ( m Q ˜ ( b 1 ) b 1 ) f 1 , , ( m Q ˜ ( b m ) b m ) f m ) ( z ) T m ( ( m R ( b 1 ) b 1 ) f 1 , , ( m R ( b m ) b m ) f m ) ( z ) | | i = 1 m σ C i m j σ ( m Q ˜ ( b j ) b j ( z ) ) ( T m ) b σ ( f χ d \ 2 N Q ) ( z ) | + | i = 1 m σ C i m j σ ( m R ( b j ) b j ( z ) ) ( T m ) b σ ( f χ d \ 2 N Q ) ( z ) | = : B 1 ( z ) + B 2 ( z ) . (42)

To estimate the integrals above, we recall that f i = f i χ d \ 2 N Q and let f j Q = f j χ 2 N Q , then we can write that f j = f j f j Q and f j = f j + f j Q , and thus we have

j = 1 m f j ( y j ) = j = 1 m f j ( y j ) + i = 1 m ( 1 ) i ρ C i m j ρ f j Q ( y j ) j ρ f j ( y j ) = j = 1 m f j ( y j ) + λ = 1 m { j 1 , j 2 , , j λ } { 1 , 2 , , m } × C j 1 , j 2 , , j m f j 1 Q ( y j 1 ) , , f j λ Q ( y j λ ) f j λ + 1 ( y j λ + 1 ) , , f j m ( y j m ) (43)

where C j 1 , j 2 , , j m are constant independent of f and Q. From the equality (43), we can deduce that

( T m ) b σ ( f χ d \ 2 N Q ) ( z ) = ( T m ) b σ f ( z ) + λ = 1 m { j 1 , j 2 , , j m } { 1 , 2 , , m } C j 1 , j 2 , , j m T m ( g 1 F 1 , g 2 F 2 , , g m F m ) ( z ) (44)

where

g j ( y ) = { b j ( z ) b j ( y ) , if j σ 1 , if j σ

and

F j ( y ) = { f j Q ( y ) , if j { j 1 , , j λ } f j ( y ) , if j { j 1 , , j λ }

Along the same lines as that of the pointwise estimates of I I I 2 ( z ) ,we can obtain that, for x , z R 2 N 1 Q and if 1 λ m ,

| T m ( g 1 F 1 , g 2 F 2 , , g m F m ) ( z ) | C j { j 1 , j 2 , , j λ } 1 l ( 2 N Q ) n 2 N Q | g j ( y j ) f j ( y j ) | d μ ( y j ) × k = 1 2 k λ n j { j 1 , j 2 , , j λ } 1 j m 1 l ( 2 k 2 N Q ) n 2 k 2 N Q | g j ( y j ) f j ( y j ) | d μ ( y j ) . (45)

Let ( g j ) k , s j * = 1 if j σ ; and

( g j ) k , s j * = { ( 1 l ( 2 N Q ) n 2 N Q | b j ( z ) b j ( y ) | s j d μ ( y ) ) 1 s j , if j σ { j 1 , j 2 , , j λ } ( 1 l ( 2 k + N Q ) n 2 k + N Q | b j ( z ) b j ( y ) | s j d μ ( y ) ) 1 s j , if j σ \ { j 1 , j 2 , , j λ }

thus for j σ ,

( g j ) k , s j * C b j + C | m 2 N Q ( b j ) b j ( z ) | + C | m 2 k + N Q ( b j ) b j ( z ) | .

Hence we get from (45) that, for τ > 1 ,

( 1 μ ( R ) R | T m ( g 1 F 1 , g 2 F 2 , , g m F m ) ( z ) | τ d μ ( z ) ) 1 τ C ( j = 1 m M s j , 9 8 f j ( x ) ) j = 1 2 k λ n × ( 1 μ ( R ) R | j σ ( g j ) k , s j * | τ d μ ( z ) ) 1 τ C ( j = 1 m M s j , 9 8 f j ( x ) ) j = 1 2 k λ n j σ b j ( 1 + K R , 2 N Q + K R , 2 k + N Q ) C ( j = 1 m M s j , 9 8 f j ( x ) ) j σ b j , (46)

where we have used the fact that the cubes R and 2 N Q are comparable, which implies K R ,2 N Q C and K R ,2 k + N Q C ( 1 + k ) . Using the inequality (46) above and the identity (44), we obtain that, for τ > 1 ,

A 2 1 μ ( R ) R ( | B 1 ( z ) | + | B 2 ( z ) | ) d μ ( z ) C i = 1 m σ C i m ( j σ K Q , R b j ) × ( 1 μ ( R ) R | ( T m ) b σ ( f χ d \ 2 N Q ) | τ d μ ( z ) ) 1 τ C i = 1 m σ C i m ( j σ K Q , R b j ) M τ , 3 2 ( ( T m ) b σ ( f ) ) ( x ) + C j = 1 m K Q , R b j M s j , 9 8 f j ( x ) .

The estimates of A 3 and A 4 is very similar to the one used in the estimate of A 2 . In fact, repeating the similar procedures used in (45) and (46) for τ > 1 , and noting that K Q ,2 k + N Q K Q , R + K R ,2 k + N Q C ( 1 + k ) + K Q , R since 2 N 3 Q 2 R 2 N Q by the definition of N, we can deduce that

α 1 , α 2 , , α m { 0 , } at least one α i and one α j 0 | m Q [ T m ( ( m Q ˜ ( b 1 ) b 1 ) f 1 α 1 , , ( m Q ˜ ( b m ) b m ) f m α m ) ] | + α 1 , α 2 , , α m { R , } at least one α i | m R [ T m ( ( m R ( b 1 ) b 1 ) f 1 α 1 , , ( m R ( b m ) b m ) f m α m ) ] | C j = 1 m K Q , R b j M s j , 9 8 f j ( x ) . (47)

It is left to estimate the term in A 3 of the case α 1 = α 2 = = α m = 0 . A small modification is needed to estimate this term. For z Q and x Q , one sees

| T m ( ( m Q ˜ ( b 1 ) b 1 ) f 1 0 , , ( m Q ˜ ( b j ) b j ) f j 0 , , ( m Q ˜ ( b m ) b m ) f m 0 ) ( z ) | C k = 1 N j = 1 m 1 l ( 2 k 4 3 Q ) n 2 k 4 3 Q | ( m Q ˜ ( b j ) b j ( y j ) ) f j ( y j ) | d μ ( y j ) C k = 1 N j = 1 m μ ( 2 k 3 2 Q ) l ( 2 k 4 3 Q ) n ( 1 + K Q , 2 k 4 3 Q ) b j M s j , 9 8 f j ( x ) C ( K Q , R ) 2 m j = 1 m b j M s j , 9 8 f j ( x ) .

This and the inequality (47) follows

A 3 + A 4 C ( K Q , R ) 2 m j = 1 m b j M s j , 9 8 f j ( x ) .

Moreover, combing the estimates of A 1 , A 2 , A 3 and A 4 , we obtain the desired inequality (23).

Finally, let us show how to acquire the inequality (19) from the two inequalities (22) and (23). Fix the point x and let Q be any cube that x Q . notice K Q , Q ˜ C , hence we see from the inequalities (22) and (23) that

1 μ ( 3 2 Q ) Q | ( T m ) b ( f ) ( z ) m Q ˜ ( ( T m ) b ( f ) ) | d μ ( z ) 1 μ ( 3 2 Q ) Q | ( T m ) b ( f ) ( z ) h Q | d μ ( z ) + 1 μ ( 3 2 Q ) Q | h Q h Q ˜ | d μ ( z ) + 1 μ ( 3 2 Q ) Q | m Q ˜ ( ( T m ) b ( f ) ) h Q ˜ | d μ ( z ) C R ( b , f ) ( x ) . (48)

On the other hand for all doubling cubes Q R with x Q such that K Q , R P 0 , where P 0 is the constant in Lemma 6 in [15], using (23), we have

| h Q h R | C K Q , R P 0 2 m 1 R ( b , f ) ( x ) (49)

and moreover the inequality (49) holds for any doubling cubes Q, R with Q R . Therefore,

m Q ( ( T m ) b ( f ) ) m R ( ( T m ) b ( f ) ) | | m Q ( ( T m ) b ( f ) ) h Q | + | h R m R ( ( T m ) b ( f ) ) | + | h Q h R | C K Q , R R ( b , f ) ( x ) . (50)

According to the estimates (48) (50) and the definition of the sharp maximal function, we deduce the inequality (19) and so finish the proof of the Lemma 2.5.☐

3. Conclusions

The proof of Lemma 2.5 can be slightly modified to prove the conclusion of Lemma 2.1. Therefore we show that the iterated commutators generated by multilinear singular integrals operators ( T m ) b are bounded from

M q 1 p 1 ( μ ) × × M q m p m ( μ ) to M q p ( μ ) . Suppose μ = , the detailed conclusion can be described as follows: Let ( T m ) b as in (9) and satisfying conditions (7)

and (8). Let 1 < q j p j < with 1 p = 1 p 1 + + 1 p m and 1 q = 1 q 1 + + 1 q m . Suppose b i R B M O ( μ ) for i = 1 , 2 , , m . If T m maps L 1 ( μ ) × × L 1 ( μ ) to L 1 / m , ( μ ) , then the commutators ( T m ) b are bounded from M q 1 p 1 ( μ ) × × M q m p m ( μ ) to M q p ( μ ) , that is,

( T m ) b ( f ) ( x ) M q p ( μ ) C i = 1 m b i f i M q i p i ( μ ) .

More generally, let ( T m ) b σ as in (11) and satisfying conditions (7) and (8). Let 1 < q j p j < with 1 p = 1 p 1 + + 1 p m and 1 q = 1 q 1 + + 1 q m . Suppose b i R B M O ( μ ) for i = 1 , 2 , , m . If T m maps L 1 ( μ ) × × L 1 ( μ ) to L 1 / m , ( μ ) , then for all σ { 1,2, , m } , the commutators ( T m ) b σ are bounded from M q 1 p 1 ( μ ) × × M q m p m ( μ ) to M q p ( μ ) , that is,

( T m ) b σ ( f ) ( x ) M q p ( μ ) C j σ b j i = 1 m f i M q i p i ( μ ) .
