This study gauges the degree of fiscal vulnerability in Turkey by calculating the debt stabilising primary balance level and evaluates how this variable measures up against the actual primary balance levels for the 1978–2019 period. Based on this comparison, we build up a fiscal fragility index using the methodology described in Stoian (2012). In addition, the Toda-Yamamoto causality test is carried out to detect the direction of causality among these two variables. The index-based analysis reveals that the fiscal performance of Turkey was chiefly satisfactory for the estimation period. Also, the Toda-Yamamoto causality test results imply a unidirectional causality from the required primary balance to real primary balance, suggesting that the government uses the primary balance to stabilise fiscal imbalances, which is an affirmative effort by the government to restore fiscal sustainability. Nevertheless, notwithstanding the implementation of corrective fiscal actions to preserve stability, the index value is steadily moving up in recent years, indicating a mounting fiscal vulnerability risk. Back-loading fiscal adjustments involving spending cuts, full-fledged tax reform, proper scrutiny of public expenses, etc., are among the prominent policy options available to the government to alter the ongoing unfavourable trend in the fiscal vulnerability index.

Abstract

1. Introduction and notations

Let $T$ be the Calderón-Zygmund singular integral operator and $b$ be a locally integrable function on $R^n$ . The commutator generated by $b$ and $T$ is defined by $[b, T]f = bT(f)-T(bf)$ . The investigation of the commutator begins with Coifman-Rochberg-Weiss pioneering study and classical result (see ^[6]). The classical result of Coifman, Rochberg and Weiss (see ^[6]) states that the commutator $[b, T]f = T(bf)-bTf$ is bounded on $L^p(R^n)$ for $1 < p < \infty$ if and only if $b\in BMO(R^n)$ . The major reason for considering the problem of commutators is that the boundedness of commutator can produces some characterizations of function spaces (see ^[1,6]). Chanillo (see ^[1]) proves a similar result when $T$ is replaced by the fractional integral operator. In ^[11], the boundedness properties of the commutators for the extreme values of $p$ are obtained. In recent years, the theory of Herz space and Herz type Hardy space, as a local version of Lebesgue space and Hardy space, have been developed (see ^[8,9,12,13]). The main purpose of this paper is to establish the endpoint continuity properties of some multilinear operators related to certain non-convolution type fractional singular integral operators on Herz and Herz type Hardy spaces.

First, let us introduce some notations (see ^{[8,9,10,12,13,15]}). Throughout this paper, $Q$ will denote a cube of $R^n$ with sides parallel to the axes. For a cube $Q$ and a locally integrable function $f$ , let $f_Q = |Q|^{-1}\int_Qf(x)dx$ and $f^{\#}(x) = \sup\limits_{Q\ni x}|Q|^{-1}\int_Q|f(y)-f_Q|dy$ . Moreover, $f$ is said to belong to $BMO(R^n)$ if $f^{\#} \in L^\infty$ and define $||f||_{BMO} = ||f^{\#}||_{L^\infty}$ ; We also define the central $BMO$ space by $CMO(R^n)$ , which is the space of those functions $f\in L_{loc}(R^n)$ such that

$||f||_{CMO} = \sup\limits_{r > 1}|Q(0, r)|^{-1}\int_Q|f(y)-f_Q|dy < \infty.$

It is well-known that (see ^[9,10])

$||f||_{CMO}\approx\sup\limits_{r > 1}\inf\limits_{c\in C}|Q(0, r)|^{-1}\int_Q|f(x)-c|dx.$

For $k\in Z$ , define $B_k = \{x\in R^n: |x|\le 2^k\}$ and $C_k = B_k\setminus B_{k-1}$ . Denote by $\chi_k$ the characteristic function of $C_k$ and $\tilde\chi_k$ the characteristic function of $C_k$ for $k\ge1$ and $\tilde\chi_0$ the characteristic function of $B_0$ .

Definition 1. Let $0 < p < \infty$ and $\alpha\in R$ .

(1) The homogeneous Herz space $\dot K_p^\alpha(R^n)$ is defined by

$\dot K_p^\alpha(R^n) = \{f\in L_{loc}^p (R^n \setminus \{0\}): ||f||_{\dot K_p^\alpha} < \infty\},$

where

$||f||_{\dot K_p^\alpha} = \sum\limits_{k = -\infty}^\infty 2^{k\alpha}||f\chi_k||_{L^p};$

(2) The nonhomogeneous Herz space $K_p^\alpha(R^n)$ is defined by

$K_p^\alpha(R^n) = \{f\in L_{loc}^p (R^n): ||f||_{K_p^\alpha} < \infty\},$

where

$||f||_{K_p^\alpha} = \sum\limits_{k = 0}^\infty 2^{k\alpha}||f\tilde\chi_k||_{L^p}.$

If $\alpha = n(1-1/p)$ , we denote that $\dot K_p^\alpha(R^n) = \dot K_p(R^n)$ , $K_p^\alpha(R^n) = K_p(R^n)$ .

Definition 2. Let $0 < \delta < n$ and $1 < p < n/\delta$ . We shall call $B_p^{\delta}(R^n)$ the space of those functions $f$ on $R^n$ such that

$||f||_{B_p^{\delta}} = \sup\limits_{d > 1}d^{-n(1/p-\delta/n)}||f\chi_{Q(0, d)}||_{L^p} < \infty.$

Definition 3. Let $1 < p < \infty$ .

(1) The homogeneous Herz type Hardy space $H \dot K_p(R^n)$ is defined by

$H \dot K_p(R^n) = \{f\in S'(R^n): G(f)\in \dot K_p(R^n)\},$

where

$||f||_{H\dot K_p} = ||G(f)||_{\dot K_p}.$

(2) The nonhomogeneous Herz type Hardy space $HK_p(R^n)$ is defined by

$HK_p(R^n) = \{f\in S'(R^n): G(f)\in K_p(R^n)\},$

where

$||f||_{HK_p} = ||G(f)||_{K_p}.$

where $G(f)$ is the grand maximal function of $f$ .

The Herz type Hardy spaces have the atomic decomposition characterization.

Definition 4. Let $1 < p < \infty$ . A function $a(x)$ on $R^n$ is called a central $(n(1-1/p), p)$ -atom (or a central $(n(1-1/p), p)$ -atom of restrict type), if

1) Supp $a\subset B(0, d)$ for some $d > 0$ (or for some $d\ge 1$ ),

2) $||a||_{L^p}\le |B(0, d)|^{1/p-1}$ ,

3) $\int a(x)dx = 0$ .

Lemma 1. (see ^[9,13]) Let $1 < p < \infty$ . A temperate distribution $f$ belongs to $H\dot K_p(R^n)$ (or $HK_p(R^n)$ ) if and only if there exist central $(n(1-1/p), p)$ -atoms(or central $(n(1-1/p), p)$ -atoms of restrict type) $a_j$ supported on $B_j = B(0, 2^j)$ and constants $\lambda_j$ , $\sum_j|\lambda_j| < \infty$ such that $f = \sum_{j = -\infty}^\infty \lambda_ja_j$ (or $f = \sum_{j = 0}^\infty \lambda_j a_j$ )in the $S'(R^n)$ sense, and

$||f||_{H\dot K_p}(\ or \ ||f||_{HK_p})\approx\sum\limits_j|\lambda_j|.$

2. Theorems

In this paper, we will consider a class of multilinear operators related to some non-convolution type singular integral operators, whose definition are following.

Let $m$ be a positive integer and $A$ be a function on $R^n$ . We denote that

$R_{m+1}(A;x, y) = A(x)-\sum\limits_{|\beta|\le m}\frac{1}{\beta!}D^\beta A(y)(x-y)^\beta$

and

$Q_{m+1}(A;x, y) = R_m(A;x, y)-\sum\limits_{|\beta| = m}\frac{1}{\beta!}D^\beta A(x)(x-y)^\beta.$

Definition 5. Fixed $\varepsilon > 0$ and $0 < \delta < n$ . Let $T_\delta : S\to S'$ be a linear operator. $T_\delta$ is called a fractional singular integral operator if there exists a locally integrable function $K(x, y)$ on $R^n \times R^n$ such that

$T_\delta(f)(x) = \int_{R^n} K(x, y)f(y)dy$

for every bounded and compactly supported function $f$ , where $K$ satisfies:

$|K(x, y)|\le C|x-y|^{-n+\delta}$

and

$|K(y, x)-K(z, x)|+|K(x, y)-K(x, z)|\le C|y-z|^\varepsilon|x-z|^{-n-\varepsilon+\delta}$

if $2|y-z|\le |x-z|$ . The multilinear operator related to the fractional singular integral operator $T_\delta$ is defined by

$T_\delta^A(f)(x) = \int_{R^n}\frac{R_{m+1}(A;x, y)}{|x-y|^m}K(x, y)f(y)dy;$

We also consider the variant of $T_\delta^A$ , which is defined by

$\tilde T_\delta^A(f)(x) = \int_{R^n}\frac{Q_{m+1}(A;x, y)}{|x-y|^m}K(x, y)f(y)dy.$

Note that when $m = 0$ , $T_\delta^A$ is just the commutators of $T_\delta$ and $A$ (see ^[1,6,11,14]). It is well known that multilinear operator, as a non-trivial extension of commutator, is of great interest in harmonic analysis and has been widely studied by many authors (see ^[3,4,5]). In ^[7], the weighted $L^p$ ( $p > 1$ )-boundedness of the multilinear operator related to some singular integral operator are obtained. In ^[2], the weak ( $H^1$ , $L^1$ )-boundedness of the multilinear operator related to some singular integral operator are obtained. In this paper, we will study the endpoint continuity properties of the multilinear operators $T_\delta^A$ and $\tilde T_\delta^A$ on Herz and Herz type Hardy spaces.

Now we state our results as following.

Theorem 1. Let $0 < \delta < n$ , $1 < p < n/\delta$ and $D^\beta A\in BMO(R^n)$ for all $\beta$ with $|\beta| = m$ . Suppose that $T_\delta^A$ is the same as in Definition 5 such that $T_\delta$ is bounded from $L^p(R^n)$ to $L^q(R^n)$ for any $p, q\in (1, +\infty]$ with $1/q = 1/p-\delta/n$ . Then $T_\delta^A$ is bounded from $B_p^{\delta}(R^n)$ to $CMO(R^n)$ .

Theorem 2. Let $0 < \delta < n$ , $1 < p < n/\delta$ , $1/q = 1/p-\delta/n$ and $D^\beta A\in BMO(R^n)$ for all $\beta$ with $|\beta| = m$ . Suppose that $\tilde T_\delta^A$ is the same as in Definition 5 such that $\tilde T_\delta^A$ is bounded from $L^p(R^n)$ to $L^q(R^n)$ for any $p, q\in (1, +\infty)$ with $1/q = 1/p-\delta/n$ . Then $\tilde T_\delta^A$ is bounded from $H\dot K_p(R^n)$ to $\dot K_q^\alpha(R^n)$ with $\alpha = n(1-1/p)$ .

Theorem 3. Let $0 < \delta < n$ , $1 < p < n/\delta$ and $D^\beta A\in BMO(R^n)$ for all $\beta$ with $|\beta| = m$ . Suppose that $\tilde T_\delta^A$ is the same as in Definition 5 such that $\tilde T_\delta^A$ is bounded from $L^p(R^n)$ to $L^q(R^n)$ for any $p, q\in (1, +\infty)$ with $1/q = 1/p-\delta/n$ . Then the following two statements are equivalent:

(ⅰ) $\tilde T_\delta^A$ is bounded from $B_p^{\delta}(R^n)$ to $CMO(R^n)$ ;

(ⅱ) for any cube $Q$ and $z\in 3Q\setminus 2Q$ , there is

$\frac{1}{|Q|}\int_Q\left|\sum\limits_{|\beta| = m}\frac{1}{\beta!}|D^\beta A(x)-(D^\beta A)_Q| \int_{(4Q)^c}K_{\beta}(z, y)f(y)dy\right|dx\le C||f||_{B_p^{\delta}},$

where $K_{\beta}(z, y) = \frac{(z-y)^\beta}{|z-y|^m}K(z, y)$ for $|\beta| = m$ .

Remark. Theorem 2 is also hold for nonhomogeneous Herz and Herz type Hardy space.

3. Proofs of theorems

To prove the theorem, we need the following lemma.

Lemma 2. (see ^[5]) Let $A$ be a function on $R^n$ and $D^\beta A\in L^q(R^n)$ for $|\beta| = m$ and some $q > n$ . Then

$|R_m(A;x, y)|\le C|x-y|^m\sum\limits_{|\beta| = m}\left(\frac{1}{|\tilde Q(x, y)|}\int_{\tilde Q(x, y)}|D^\beta A(z)|^q dz\right)^{1/q},$

where $\tilde Q(x, y)$ is the cube centered at $x$ and having side length $5\sqrt{n}|x-y|$ .

Proof of Theorem 1. It suffices to prove that there exists a constant $C_Q$ such that

$\frac{1}{|Q|}\int_Q|T_\delta^A(f)(x)-C_Q|dx \le C||f||_{B_p^{\delta}}$

holds for any cube $Q = Q(0, d)$ with $d > 1$ . Fix a cube $Q = Q(0, d)$ with $d > 1$ . Let $\tilde Q = 5\sqrt{n}Q$ and $\tilde A(x) = A(x)-\sum\limits_{|\beta| = m}\frac{1}{\beta!}(D^\beta A)_{\tilde Q}x^\beta$ , then $R_{m+1}(A; x, y) = R_{m+1}(\tilde A; x, y)$ and $D^\beta\tilde A = D^\beta A-(D^\beta A)_{\tilde Q}$ for all $\beta$ with $|\beta| = m$ . We write, for $f_1 = f\chi_{\tilde Q}$ and $f_2 = f\chi_{R^n\setminus\tilde Q}$ ,

$\begin{eqnarray*} T_\delta^A(f)(x)& = &\int_{R^n}\frac{R_{m+1}(\tilde A; x, y)}{|x-y|^m}K(x, y)f(y)dy = \int_{R^n}\frac{R_m(\tilde A; x, y)}{|x-y|^m}K(x, y)f_1(y)dy \\ &\;& -\sum\limits_{|\beta| = m}\frac{1}{\beta!}\int_{R^n}\frac{K(x, y)(x-y)^\beta}{|x-y|^m}D^\beta\tilde A(y)f_1(y)dy +\int_{R^n}\frac{R_{m+1}(\tilde A; x, y)}{|x-y|^m}K(x, y)f_2(y)dy, \end{eqnarray*}$

then

$\begin{eqnarray*} &\;& \frac{1}{|Q|}\int_Q\left|T_\delta^A(f)(x)-T_\delta^{\tilde A}(f_2)(0)\right|dx \le\frac{1}{|Q|}\int_Q\left|T_\delta\left(\frac{R_m(\tilde A;x, \cdot)}{|x-\cdot|^m}f_1\right)(x)\right|dx \\ &\;& +\sum\limits_{|\beta| = m}\frac{1}{\beta!}\frac{1}{|Q|}\int_Q\left|T_\delta\left(\frac{(x-\cdot)^\beta} {|x-\cdot|^m}D^\beta\tilde A f_1\right)(x)\right|dx+\left|T_\delta^{\tilde A}(f_2)(x)-T_\delta^{\tilde A}(f_2)(0)\right|dx \\ &: = & I+II+III. \end{eqnarray*}$

For $I$ , note that for $x\in Q$ and $y\in \tilde Q$ , using Lemma 2, we get

$R_m(\tilde A; x, y)\le C|x-y|^m\sum\limits_{|\beta| = m}||D^\beta A||_{BMO},$

thus, by the $L^p(R^n)$ to $L^q(R^n)$ -boundedness of $T_\delta^A$ for $1 < p, q < \infty$ with $1/q = 1/p-\delta/n$ , we get

$\begin{eqnarray*} I &\le& \frac{C}{|Q|}\int_Q \left|T_\delta\left(\sum\limits_{|\beta| = m}||D^\beta A||_{BMO}f_1\right)(x)\right|dx \\ &\le& C\sum\limits_{|\beta| = m}||D^\beta A||_{BMO}\left(\frac{1}{|Q|}\int_Q|T_\delta(f_1)(x)|^qdx\right)^{1/q} \\ &\le& C\sum\limits_{|\beta| = m}||D^\beta A||_{BMO}|Q|^{-1/q}||f_1||_{L^p} \\ &\le& C\sum\limits_{|\beta| = m}||D^\beta A||_{BMO}r^{-n(1/p-\delta/n)}||f\chi_{\tilde Q}||_{L^p} \\ &\le& C\sum\limits_{|\beta| = m}||D^\beta A||_{BMO}||f||_{B_p^{\delta}}. \end{eqnarray*}$

For $II$ , taking $1 < s < p$ such that $1/r = 1/s-\delta/n$ , by the $(L^s, L^r)$ -boundedness of $T_\delta$ and Holder's inequality, we gain

$\begin{eqnarray*} II &\le& \frac{C}{|Q|}\int_Q \left|T_\delta\left(\sum\limits_{|\beta| = m}(D^\beta A-(D^\beta A)_{\tilde Q})f_1\right)(x)\right|dx \\ &\le& C\sum\limits_{|\beta| = m}\left(\frac{1}{|Q|}\int_Q\left|T_\delta\left((D^\beta A-(D^\beta A)_{\tilde Q}\right)f_1)(x)\right|^rdx\right)^{1/r} \\ &\le& C|Q|^{-1/r}\sum\limits_{|\beta| = m}||(D^\beta A-(D^\beta A)_{\tilde Q})f_1||_{L^s} \\ &\le& C|Q|^{-1/r}||f_1||_{L^p}\sum\limits_{|\beta| = m}\left(\frac{1}{|Q|}\int_{\tilde Q} |D^\beta A(y)-(D^\beta A)_{\tilde Q}|^{ps/(p-s)}dy\right)^{(p-s)/(ps)}|Q|^{(p-s)/(ps)} \\ &\le& C\sum\limits_{|\beta| = m}||D^\beta A||_{BMO}r^{-n/q}||f\chi_{\tilde Q}||_{L^p} \\ &\le& C\sum\limits_{|\beta| = m}||D^\beta A||_{BMO}||f||_{B_p^{\delta}}. \end{eqnarray*}$

To estimate $III$ , we write

$\begin{eqnarray*} T_\delta^{\tilde A}(f_2)(x)-T_\delta^{\tilde A}(f_2)(0)& = &\int_{R^n}\left[\frac{K(x, y)}{|x-y|^m}-\frac{K(0, y)}{|y|^m}\right]R_m(\tilde A;x, y)f_2(y)dy \\ &\;& +\int_{R^n}\frac{K(0, y)f_2(y)}{|y|^m}[R_m(\tilde A; x, y)-R_m(\tilde A; 0, y)]dy \\ &\;& -\sum\limits_{|\beta| = m}\frac{1}{\beta!}\int_{R^n}\left(\frac{K(x, y)(x-y)^\beta}{|x-y|^m}-\frac{K(0, y)(-y)^\beta}{|y|^m}\right)D^\beta\tilde A(y)f_2(y)dy \\ &: = & III_1+III_2+III_3. \end{eqnarray*}$

By Lemma 2 and the following inequality (see ^[15])

$|b_{Q_1}-b_{Q_2}|\le C\log(|Q_2|/|Q_1|)||b||_{BMO} \ for \ Q_1 \subset Q_2,$

we know that, for $x\in Q$ and $y\in 2^{k+1}\tilde Q\setminus 2^k\tilde Q$ ,

$\begin{eqnarray*} |R_m(\tilde A;x, y)|&\le& C|x-y|^m\sum\limits_{|\beta| = m}(||D^\beta A||_{BMO}+|(D^\beta A)_{\tilde Q(x, y)}-(D^\beta A)_{\tilde Q}|) \\ &\le& C k|x-y|^m\sum\limits_{|\beta| = m}||D^\beta A||_{BMO}. \end{eqnarray*}$

Note that $|x-y|\sim |y|$ for $x\in Q$ and $y\in R^n\setminus\tilde Q$ , we obtain, by the condition of $K$ ,

$\begin{eqnarray*} |III_1|&\le& C\int_{R^n}\left(\frac{|x|}{|y|^{m+n+1-\delta}}+\frac{|x|^\varepsilon} {|y|^{m+n+\varepsilon-\delta}}\right)|R_m(\tilde A; x, y)||f_2(y)|dy \\ &\le& C\sum\limits_{|\beta| = m}||D^\beta A||_{BMO}\sum\limits_{k = 0}^\infty\int_{2^{k+1}\tilde Q\setminus2^k\tilde Q}k\left(\frac{|x|} {|y|^{n+1-\delta}}+\frac{|x|^\varepsilon}{|y|^{n+\varepsilon-\delta}}\right)|f(y)|dy \\ &\le& C\sum\limits_{|\beta| = m}||D^\beta A||_{BMO}\sum\limits_{k = 1}^\infty k(2^{-k}+2^{-\varepsilon k})(2^k r)^{-n(1/p-\delta/n)}||f\chi_{2^k\tilde Q}||_{L^p} \\ &\le& C\sum\limits_{|\beta| = m}||D^\beta A||_{BMO}\sum\limits_{k = 1}^\infty k(2^{-k}+2^{-\varepsilon k})||f||_{B_p^{\delta}} \\ &\le& C\sum\limits_{|\beta| = m}||D^\beta A||_{BMO}||f||_{B_p^{\delta}}. \end{eqnarray*}$

For $III_2$ , by the formula (see ^[5]):

$R_m(\tilde A; x, y)-R_m(\tilde A; x_0, y) = \sum\limits_{|\gamma| < m}\frac{1}{\gamma!}R_{m-|\gamma|}(D^\gamma\tilde A; x, x_0)(x-y)^\gamma$

and Lemma 2, we have

$|R_m(\tilde A; x, y)-R_m(\tilde A; x_0, y)|\le C\sum\limits_{|\gamma| < m}\sum\limits_{|\beta| = m}|x-x_0|^{m-|\gamma|}|x-y|^{|\gamma|}||D^\beta A||_{BMO},$

thus, similar to the estimates of $III_1$ , we get

$|III_2| \le C\sum\limits_{|\beta| = m}||D^\beta A||_{BMO}\sum\limits_{k = 0}^\infty\int_{2^{k+1}\tilde Q\setminus2^k\tilde Q} \frac{|x|}{|y|^{n+1-\delta}}|f(y)|dy \le C\sum\limits_{|\beta| = m}||D^\beta A||_{BMO}||f||_{B_p^{\delta}}.$

For $III_3$ , by Holder's inequality, similar to the estimates of $III_1$ , we get

$\begin{eqnarray*} |III_3|&\le&C\sum\limits_{|\beta| = m}\sum\limits_{k = 0}^\infty\int_{2^{k+1}\tilde Q\setminus2^k\tilde Q}\left(\frac{|x|} {|y|^{n+1-\delta}}+\frac{|x|^\varepsilon}{|y|^{n+\varepsilon-\delta}}\right)|D^\beta \tilde A(y)||f(y)|dy \\ &\le& C\sum\limits_{|\beta| = m}\sum\limits_{k = 1}^\infty (2^{-k}+2^{-\varepsilon k})(2^k r)^{-n(1/p-\delta/n)} \left(|2^k\tilde Q|^{-1}\int_{2^k\tilde Q}|D^\beta A(y)-(D^\beta A)_{\tilde Q}|^{p'}dy\right)^{1/p'}||f\chi_{2^k\tilde Q}||_{L^p} \\ &\le& C\sum\limits_{|\beta| = m}||D^\beta A||_{BMO}\sum\limits_{k = 1}^\infty (2^{-k}+2^{-\varepsilon k})(2^k r)^{-n(1/p-\delta/n)} ||f\chi_{2^k\tilde Q}||_{L^p} \\ &\le& C\sum\limits_{|\beta| = m}||D^\beta A||_{BMO}||f||_{B_p^{\delta}}. \end{eqnarray*}$

Thus

$III\le C\sum\limits_{|\beta| = m}||D^\beta A||_{BMO}||f||_{B_p^{\delta}},$

which together with the estimates for $I$ and $II$ yields the desired result. This finishes the proof of Theorem 1.

Proof of Theorem 2. Let $f\in H\dot K_p(R^n)$ , by Lemma 1, $f = \sum_{j = -\infty}^\infty\lambda_ja_j$ , where $a_j's$ are the central $(n(1-1/p), p)$ -atom with supp $a_j \subset B_j = B(0, 2^j)$ and $||f||_{H\dot K_p}\approx\sum_j|\lambda_j|$ . We write

$\begin{eqnarray*} ||\tilde T_\delta^A(f)||_{\dot K_q^\alpha}& = &\sum\limits_{k = -\infty}^\infty 2^{kn(1-1/p)}||\chi_k\tilde T_\delta^A(f)||_{L^q} \\ &\le&\sum\limits_{k = -\infty}^\infty 2^{kn(1-1/p)}\sum\limits_{j = -\infty}^{k-1}|\lambda_j|||\chi_k\tilde T_\delta^A(a_j)||_{L^q} +\sum\limits_{k = -\infty}^\infty 2^{kn(1-1/p)}\sum\limits_{j = k}^\infty|\lambda_j|||\chi_k\tilde T_\delta^A(a_j)||_{L^q} \\ & = & J+JJ. \end{eqnarray*}$

For $JJ$ , by the $(L^p, L^q)$ -boundedness of $\tilde T_\delta^A$ for $1/q = 1/p-\delta/n$ , we get

$\begin{eqnarray*} JJ &\le& C\sum\limits_{k = -\infty}^\infty 2^{kn(1-1/p)}\sum\limits_{j = k}^\infty|\lambda_j|||a_j||_{L^p}\le C\sum\limits_{k = -\infty}^\infty 2^{kn(1-1/p)}\sum\limits_{j = k}^\infty|\lambda_j|2^{jn(1/p-1)} \\ &\le& C\sum\limits_{j = -\infty}^\infty|\lambda_j|\sum\limits_{k = -\infty}^j2^{(k-j)n(1-1/p)}\le C\sum\limits_{j = -\infty}^\infty|\lambda_j|\le C||f||_{H\dot K_p}. \end{eqnarray*}$

To obtain the estimate of $J$ , we denote that $\tilde A(x) = A(x)-\sum_{|\beta| = m}\frac{1}{\beta!}(D^\beta A)_{2B_j}x^\beta$ . Then $Q_m(A; x, y) = Q_m(\tilde A; x, y)$ and $Q_{m+1}(A; x, y) = R_m(A; x, y)-\sum_{|\beta| = m}\frac{1}{\beta!} (x-y)^\beta D^\beta A(x)$ . We write, by the vanishing moment of $a$ and for $x \in C_k$ with $k\ge j+1$ ,

$\begin{eqnarray*} \tilde T_\delta^A(a_j)(x)& = & \int_{R^n}\frac{K(x, y)R_m(A;x, y)}{|x-y|^m}a_j(y)dy-\sum\limits_{|\beta| = m}\frac{1}{\beta!} \int_{R^n}\frac{K(x, y)D^\beta\tilde A(x)(x-y)^\beta}{|x-y|^m}a_j(y)dy \\ & = & \int_{R^n}\left[\frac{K(x, y)}{|x-y|^m}-\frac{K(x, 0)}{|x|^m}\right]R_m(\tilde A;x, y)a_j(y)dy \\ &\;& +\int_{R^n}\frac{K(x, 0)}{|x|^m}[R_m(\tilde A;x, y)-R_m(\tilde A; x, 0)]a_j(y)dy \\ &\;& -\sum\limits_{|\beta| = m}\frac{1}{\beta!}\int_{R^n}\left[\frac{K(x, y)(x-y)^\beta}{|x-y|^m}-\frac{K(x, 0)x^\beta}{|x|^m}\right] D^\beta\tilde A(x)a_j(y)dy. \end{eqnarray*}$

Similar to the proof of Theorem 1, we obtain

$\begin{eqnarray*} |\tilde T_\delta^A(a_j)(x)|&\le& C\int_{R^n}\left[\frac{|y|}{|x|^{m+n+1-\delta}}+\frac{|y|^\varepsilon}{|x|^{m+n+\varepsilon-\delta}}\right] |R_m(\tilde A; x, y)||a_j(y)|dy \\ &\;& +C\sum\limits_{|\beta| = m}\int_{R^n}\left[\frac{|y|}{|x|^{n+1-\delta}}+\frac{|y|^\varepsilon}{|x|^{n+\varepsilon-\delta}}\right]|D^\beta\tilde A(x)||a_j(y)|dy \\ &\le& C\sum\limits_{|\beta| = m}||D^\beta A||_{BMO}\left[\frac{2^j}{2^{k(n+1-\delta)}}+\frac{2^{j\varepsilon}} {2^{k(n+\varepsilon-\delta)}}\right]+C\sum\limits_{|\beta| = m}\left[\frac{2^j}{2^{k(n+1-\delta)}}+\frac{2^{j\varepsilon}} {2^{k(n+\varepsilon-\delta)}}\right]|D^\beta\tilde A(x)|, \end{eqnarray*}$

thus

$\begin{eqnarray*} J&\le& C\sum\limits_{|\beta| = m}||D^\beta A||_{BMO}\sum\limits_{k = -\infty}^\infty 2^{kn(1-1/p)}\sum\limits_{j = -\infty}^{k-1}|\lambda_j| \left[\frac{2^j}{2^{k(n+1-\delta)}}+\frac{2^{j\varepsilon}}{2^{k(n+\varepsilon-\delta)}}\right]2^{kn/q} \\ &\;&+C\sum\limits_{|\beta| = m}\sum\limits_{k = -\infty}^\infty 2^{kn(1-1/p)}\sum\limits_{j = -\infty}^{k-1}|\lambda_j|\left[\frac{2^j}{2^{k(n+1-\delta)}} +\frac{2^{j\varepsilon}}{2^{k(n+\varepsilon-\delta)}}\right]\left(\int_{B_k}|D^\beta\tilde A(x)|^q dx \right)^{1/q} \\ &\le& C\sum\limits_{|\beta| = m}||D^\beta A||_{BMO}\sum\limits_{k = -\infty}^\infty 2^{kn(1-\delta/n)}\sum\limits_{j = -\infty}^{k-1}|\lambda_j| \left[\frac{2^j}{2^{k(n+1-\delta)}}+\frac{2^{j\varepsilon}}{2^{k(n+\varepsilon-\delta)}}\right] \\ &\le& C\sum\limits_{|\beta| = m}||D^\beta A||_{BMO}\sum\limits_{j = -\infty}^\infty|\lambda_j|\sum\limits_{k = j+1}^\infty[2^{j-k}+ 2^{(j-k)\varepsilon}] \\ &\le& C\sum\limits_{|\beta| = m}||D^\beta A||_{BMO}\sum\limits_{j = -\infty}^\infty|\lambda_j| \\ &\le& C\sum\limits_{|\beta| = m}||D^\beta A||_{BMO}||f||_{H\dot K_p}. \end{eqnarray*}$

This completes the proof of Theorem 2.

Proof of Theorem 3. For any cube $Q = Q(0, r)$ with $r > 1$ , let $f \in B_p^{\delta}$ and $\tilde A(x) = A(x) -\sum\limits_{|\beta| = m}\frac{1}{\beta!}(D^\beta A)_{\tilde Q}x^\beta$ . We write, for $f = f\chi_{4Q}+f\chi_{(4Q)^c} = f_1+f_2$ and $z\in 3Q\setminus2Q$ ,

$\begin{eqnarray*} \tilde T_\delta^A(f)(x)& = &\tilde T_\delta^A(f_1)(x)+\int_{R^n}\frac{R_m(\tilde A; x, y)}{|x-y|^m}K(x, y)f_2(y)dy \\ &\;& -\sum\limits_{|\beta| = m}\frac{1}{\beta!}(D^\beta A(x)-(D^\beta A)_Q)(T_{\delta, \beta}(f_2)(x)-T_{\delta, \beta}(f_2)(z)) \\ &\;& -\sum\limits_{|\beta| = m}\frac{1}{\beta!}(D^\beta A(x)-(D^\beta A)_Q)T_{\delta, \beta}(f_2)(z) \\ & = & I_1(x)+I_2(x)+I_3(x, z)+I_4(x, z), \end{eqnarray*}$

where $T_{\delta, \beta}$ is the singular integral operator with the kernel $\frac{(x-y)^\beta}{|x-y|^m}K(x, y)$ for $|\beta| = m$ . Note that $(I_4(\cdot, z))_Q = 0$ , we have

$\tilde T_\delta^A(f)(x)-(\tilde T_\delta^A(f))_Q = I_1(x)-(I_1(\cdot))_Q+I_2(x)-I_2(z)-[I_2(\cdot)-I_2(z)]_Q-I_3(x, z)+(I_3(x, z))_Q-I_4(x, z).$

By the $(L^p, L^q)$ -bounded of $\tilde T_\delta^A$ , we get

$\frac{1}{|Q|}\int_Q |I_1(x)|dx \le \left(\frac{1}{|Q|}\int_Q|\tilde T_\delta^A(f_1)(x)|^qdx\right)^{1/q} \le C|Q|^{-1/q}||f_1||_{L^p}\le C||f||_{B_p^{\delta}}.$

Similar to the proof of Theorem 1, we obtain

$|I_2(x)-I_2(z)|\le C||f||_{B_p^{\delta}}$

and

$\frac{1}{|Q|}\int_Q |I_3(x, z)|dx \le C||f||_{B_p^{\delta}}.$

Then integrating in $x$ on $Q$ and using the above estimates, we obtain the equivalence of the estimate

$\frac{1}{|Q|}\int_Q |\tilde T_\delta^A(f)(x)-(\tilde T_\delta^A(f))_Q|dx \le C||f||_{B_p^{\delta}}$

and the estimate

$\frac{1}{|Q|}\int_Q |I_4(x, z)|dx \le C||f||_{B_p^{\delta}}.$

This completes the proof of Theorem 3.

4. Applications

In this section we shall apply the theorems of the paper to some particular operators such as the Calderón-Zygmund singular integral operator and fractional integral operator.

Application 1. Calderón-Zygmund singular integral operator.

Let $T$ be the Calderón-Zygmund operator defined by (see ^[10,11,15])

$T(f)(x) = \int_{R^n} K(x, y)f(y)dy,$

the multilinear operator related to $T$ is defined by

$T^A(f)(x) = \int_{R^n}\frac{R_{m+1}(A; x, y)}{|x-y|^m}K(x, y)f(y)dy.$

Then it is easily to see that $T$ satisfies the conditions in Theorems 1–3, thus the conclusions of Theorems 1–3 hold for $T^A$ .

Application 2. Fractional integral operator with rough kernel.

For $0 < \delta < n$ , let $T_\delta$ be the fractional integral operator with rough kernel defined by (see ^[2,7])

$T_\delta f(x) = \int_{R^n}\frac{\Omega(x-y)}{|x-y|^{n-\delta}}f(y)dy,$

the multilinear operator related to $T_\delta$ is defined by

$T_\delta^A f(x) = \int_{R^n}\frac{R_{m+1}(A;x, y)}{|x-y|^{m+n-\delta}}\Omega(x-y)f(y)dy,$

where $\Omega$ is homogeneous of degree zero on $R^n$ , $\int_{S^{n-1}}\Omega(x')d\sigma(x') = 0$ and $\Omega\in Lip_\varepsilon(S^{n-1})$ for some $0 < \varepsilon\le 1$ , that is there exists a constant $M > 0$ such that for any $x, y\in S^{n-1}$ , $|\Omega(x)-\Omega(y)|\le M|x-y|^\varepsilon$ . Then $T_\delta$ satisfies the conditions in Theorem 1. In fact, for $supp f \subset (2Q)^c$ and $x\in Q = Q(x_0, d)$ , by the condition of $\Omega$ , we have (see ^[16])

$\left|\frac{\Omega(x-y)}{|x-y|^{n-\delta}}-\frac{\Omega(x_0-y)}{|x_0-y|^{n-\delta}}\right| \le C\left(\frac{|x-x_0|^\varepsilon}{|x_0-y|^{n+\varepsilon-\delta}}+\frac{|x-x_0|}{|x_0-y|^{n+1-\delta}}\right),$

thus, the conclusions of Theorems 1–3 hold for $T_\delta^A$ .
