On generalized Littlewood–Paley functions
(
Springer-Verlag Italia s.r.l.
, 2018 , Article)
We study the Lp boundedness of certain classes of generalized Littlewood–Paley functions S(f). We obtain Lp estimates of S(f) with sharp range of p and under optimal conditions on ?. By using these estimates along with an ...
