Abstract
In this paper, we study rough Marcinkiewicz integrals associated with surfaces defined by }. We establish the -boundedness of these integrals when the kernel functions lie in the space. Combining this result with Yano’s extrapolation technique, we further obtain the -boundedness under weaker kernel conditions—specifically, when the kernels belong to either the block space or . Our results extend and refine several previously known results on Marcinkiewicz integrals, offering broader applicability and sharper conclusions.

1. Introduction
Let be the m-dimensional Euclidean space with , and let be the unit sphere in equipped with the normalized Lebesgue surface measure . Furthermore, let for .
Assume that h is a measurable function on and that is a homogeneous function of degree zero on , integrable over and satisfying the condition
For the appropriate mappings and , we consider the Marcinkiewicz integral , initially defined for by
where and ( with ).
The study of singular integrals and the corresponding Marcinkiewicz integrals has attracted the attention of many authors in the past two decades. One of the principal motivations for the study of such operators is the requirement of several complex variables and large classes of “subelliptic” equations. Establishing bounds for these integrals is valuable for analyzing the smoothness characteristics of functions and the behavior of integral transformations, including Poisson integrals, singular integrals, and more broadly, singular Radon transforms. For more background information, readers may refer to [1,2,3].
Our main focus in this paper will be on establishing the boundedness of the operator . When , , , and , we denote by . Furthermore, when , we denote by which is basically the classical Marcinkiewicz operator introduced by Stein in [1]. The study of the boundedness of has received a large amount of attention by many authors for a long time. For instance, it was proved in [1] that is bounded on for provided that the kernel function belongs to the space for some . Later on, the authors of [4] proved the boundedness of for all under the condition . Thereafter, Walsh [5] confirmed the boundedness of , whenever , and he also found that the assumption is optimal in the sense that if for any , then the operator will not be bounded on . The result in Ref. [5] was improved in Ref. [6] for the case where . On the other hand, the authors of [7] obtained the () boundedness of , if lies in the space for . Furthermore, they showed that the assumption is optimal in the sense that if for any , then may not be bounded on . Here is referring to the block space introduced in Ref. [8].
We point out that the study of the parametric Marcinkiewicz operator was initiated in Ref. [9], and it was then continued by many authors. In addition, the study of singular integral operators with rough kernels along surfaces was started in Ref. [10], and it was then continued by many researchers. For instance, the authors in Ref. [11] studied the operator when , , for some , and is a polynomial mapping, where each is a real-valued polynomial on . In fact, they established the boundedness of for all . Here, (with ) refers to the collection of all functions h that are defined on and satisfy
The authors in Ref. [12] obtained the same results in Ref. [11] for the special cases and for the case where replaced by the condition is a convex and increasing function with . The boundedness of was investigated by many authors under various conditions on , , , and h. We refer the readers to consult the following: for background information and a sample of past studies relevant to our current study [13,14,15,16,17], for its extensions and developments [18,19,20,21,22,23], and for recent advances [24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33].
In light of the results in Ref. [11] concerning operator in the case and for the results concerning operator in the case , a question that arises naturally is whether the boundedness of the operator holds under the same assumptions as in Ref. [11] and for certain classes of functions ?
Our main focus in this paper is to answer the above question in affirmative, as described in the following results.
Theorem 1.
Let be a polynomial mapping given by , where each is a real-valued polynomial on , and let ϕ be a function satisfying
where ψ is a polynomial, for all , is positive nondecreasing on for all , and . Assume that for some satisfies the condition (1) and that for some . Then, a positive a constant (independent of ϕ and the coefficients of the polynomials and ψ) exists such that
for all , where .
By employing the estimate in Theorem 1 along using an extrapolation argument (see Refs. [34,35,36]), we obtain the following:
Theorem 2.
Assume that , ϕ, and h are given as in Theorem 1.
- (i)
- If , thenfor all ;
- (ii)
- If for some , thenfor all .
Remark 1.
- (i)
- For any , and , the following inclusions hold and are proper:
- (ii)
- For the special case , Theorem 2 which gives the main results in Ref. [11] is directly obtained. Thus, our result generalizes the result in Ref. [11].
- (iii)
- Since , our results extend the results in Refs. [1,4,9].
- (iv)
- Our conditions on Θ in Theorem 2 are known to be the best possible in their respective classes for the special cases , , , , and (see Refs. [5,7]).
- (v)
- For the case , our results give the boundedness of for p in the full range of .
- (vi)
- A model example about the Marcinkiewicz operator isIn this example, we choose
2. Some Lemmas
In this section, we give the auxiliary lemmas which will play major roles in proving the main results of this work. Let . For suitable mappings , , and , we consider the family of measures and its related maximal operators and on , given by
and
where is defined similarly to the definition of , replacing by and h by .
The following lemma comes from the the results in Ref. [37].
Lemma 1.
Let , ϕ, h, and Θ be given as in Theorem 1. Then, there exists a constant such that for with , we have
and
Proof.
It is easy to check that Hölder’s inequality gives that
By Minkowski’s inequality we have

and
It is clear that

Remark 2.
Let be non-negative integers. Then, for any , we can write , where , are real-valued homogeneous polynomials of degree with , , and are polynomials on of a degree less than . Let denote the number of elements of . Write , and define the linear mapping by . For , set and . Hence, we have . For , we let and .
Now, we have the following result concerning the measures :
Lemma 2.
Let , ϕ, Θ, and h be given as in Theorem 1. Let be a family of Borel measures defined as in Remark 2. Then, for , there exist positive constants and C such that

Proof.
By employing similar arguments as that employed in [38], we obtain the following:
Lemma 3.
Let and ϕ be given as in Theorem 1, and let , with and with . Then, there exists such that
for all , where is any set of functions on .
Proof.
Since for any , it suffices to prove this lemma only for the case . In this case, we have , which means that . First, if , then by duality there exists a function such that and
Employing Schwartz’s inequality, we deduce that
Thanks to Hölder’s inequality and Lemma 1, we obtain
where .
Now, if , by duality, there exists a class of functions on such that
and
where
Since we have . Hence, by duality, there exists a function satisfying and
3. Proof of Theorem 1
Let for some and for some . Set . By Minkowski’s inequality, we obtain
For , let be a collection of , functions satisfying the following:
where is independent of . Define the operator . Thus, for any , Minkowski’s inequality yields
where
Thus, to prove Theorem 1, it suffices to show that
for all and for some .
First, we estimate as follows: By Plancherel’s Theorem, Fubini’s Theorem, and Lemma 2, we obtain
where and .
Now, let us estimate . By utilizing Lemma 3 and the Littlewood–Paley theory, we deduce
4. Conclusions
In this paper, we obtained sharp bounds for parametric Marcinkiewicz integrals , whenever their kernel functions belong to the space for some . These estimates allow us to employ Yano’s extrapolation argument to prove the boundedness of whenever the singular kernels functions are either in the space or in the space for some . Our results improve or extend several known results as those in [1,4,5,6,7,9,10,11,12,15]. In future work, we aim to prove the boundedness of on the weighted spaces for a wider range of p, provided that and for some .
