On the boundedness of a class of rough maximal operators on product spaces
(2011 , Article)
In this paper, we study the Lp boundedness of a class of maximal operators T (γ) {Ωj} and a related class of rough singular integrals on product spaces. We obtain appropriate Lp estimates for such maximal operators and ...
