Abstract
We establish one-sided weighted endpoint estimates for the -variation () operators of one-sided singular integrals under certain priori assumption by applying one-sided Calderón–Zygmund argument. Using one-sided sharp maximal estimates, we further prove that the -variation operators of related commutators are bounded on one-sided weighted Lebesgue and Morrey spaces. In addition, we also show that these operators are bounded from one-sided weighted Morrey spaces to one-sided weighted Campanato spaces. As applications, we obtain some results for the -jump operators and the numbers of up-crossings. Our main results represent one-sided extensions of many previously known ones.

1. Introduction
Given a family of bounded operators acting between spaces of functions, one of the most significative problems in harmonic analysis is the existence of limits and , when f belongs to a certain space of functions. The question that arises naturally is how to measure the speed of convergence of the above limits. A classic method is to investigate square functions of the type . Along this line, there is a more general way to study the following oscillation operator
with being a fixed sequence decreasing to zero. However, beyond that, another typical method is to consider the -variation operator defined by
where and the supremum runs over all sequences of positive numbers decreasing to zero.
The investigation on variation inequalities is an active research topic in probability, ergodic theory and harmonic analysis. The first variation inequality was proved by Lépingle [15] for martingales (also see [25] for a simple proof). Bourgain [2] proved the similar variation estimates for the ergodic averages of a dynamic system later. Bourgain’s work has inspired a number of authors to investigate oscillation and variation inequalities for several families of operators from ergodic theory (see [12,13,24] for examples) and harmonic analysis (cf. [3,4,6,11,14]). Recently, the variation inequalities and their weighed case for singular integrals and related operators have also been studied by many authors. The first work in this direction is due to Campbell et al. [3] who proved that and with are of type for and of weak type , where is the family of the truncated Hilbert transforms, i.e., . Subsequently, the aforementioned authors [4] also studied the variation operators related to the classical Riesz transform in for . In 2004, Gillespie and Torrea [9] established the bounds for and with , and (the Muckenhoupt weights class) (also see [10,14] for the related investigations). Later on, Crescimbeni et al. [5] proved that and with map into for . In particular, Ma et al. [21,22] presented the weighted oscillation and variation inequalities for differential operators and Calderón–Zygmund singular integrals. Recently, Liu and Wu [19] established the weighted oscillation and variational inequalities for the commutator of one-dimensional Calderón–Zygmund singular integrals.
The primary purpose of this paper is to study weighted boundedness of oscillation and variational operators for one-sided singular integrals and their commutators. We say a function K belongs to one-sided Calderón–Zygmund kernel if satisfies the following conditions: there exist constants such that
and furthermore exists,
An example of a one-sided Calderón–Zygmund kernel is see [1]. We mention here that the kernel of one-sided truncated Hilbert Transform, , is not a OCZK for there does not exist a such that the first condition above holds.
Let with support in and . For , we consider the one-sided operator
where
For , the operator is the m-th order commutator of one-sided singular integral. When , we denote by , and then the operator reduces to the one-sided Calderón–Zygmund singular integral operator , which is defined by
In 1997, Aimar et al. [1] observed that the operator maps into for and , and maps into for . Subsequently, Lorente and Riveros [20] proved that there exist constants such that
for and , and
for and , where and . Other interesting related results for the one-sided operators we may refer to [7,8,16,17,18], among others.
At first, we shall establish the one-sided weighted endpoint and strong estimates for the -variation () operators of one-sided singular integral and its commutator. Let us recall the one-sided weighted BMO spaces.
Definition 1. (One-sided weighted BMO spaces.)
For a weight w, the one-sided weighted BMO spaces is defined by
Here, is one-sided sharp maximal operator defined by
Remark 1.
When , the space reduces to the one-sided BMO space , which was introduced by Martín-Reyes and de la Torre [23]. It was proved in [23] that
for any . This yields that .
We now list our first main result as follows:
Theorem 1.
Let , , and with supported in . Let and be given as in Equation (1) and (2), respectively. Assume that for some . Then,
- (i)
- for any and , it holds that
- (ii)
- for any , and , it holds that
- (iii)
- for a weight w satisfying and , it holds that
In addition, we also investigate the boundedness behavior of the -variation operators of one-sided singular integral and its commutator on one-sided weighted Morrey spaces and Companato spaces. In order to study the boundedness of one-sided singular integral operator on weighted Morrey spaces and Campanato spaces, Shi and Fu [27] introduced the one-sided weighted Morrey spaces and one-sided weighted Campanato spaces, which are defined as follows:
Definition 2. (One-sided weighted Morrey spaces and Campanato spaces.)
Let , and w be a weight on .
- (i)
- One-sided weighted Morrey spaces are defined bywhere
- (ii)
- One-sided weighted Campanato spaces are given bywhere
Remark 2.
It is well known that the following are valid:
The rest of the main results can be listed as follows.
Theorem 2.
Let , , and with support in . Let and be given as in Equation (1) and (2), respectively. Assume that for some . Then,
- (i)
- for any , , and ,
- (ii)
- for any , , and ,
Remark 3.
We remark that we deal only with for the variation operators in our main theorems, since it was pointed out in [2] that the variation is often not bounded in the case . In addition, it is unknown what are the endpoint estimates of the variation operators for the commutators of one-sided singular integrals and whether the above operators are bounded from one-sided weighted Morrey spaces to one-sided weighted Campanato spaces, which are interesting.
This paper is organized as follows. In Section 2, we shall present some basic definitions and necessary lemmas. In Section 3, we give the proofs of Theorems 1 and 2. As applications, we present the corresponding estimates for the -jump operators and the number of up-crossing for these operators in Section 4. Finally, some further comments will be given in Section 5. We would like to remark that our works and ideas are taken from [9,19]. It should also be pointed out that all results in this paper are valid for oscillation operator with similar arguments.
Throughout this paper, for any , we denote by the dual exponent to p, i.e., . The letter C will represent a positive constant that may vary at each occurrence but is independent of the essential variables. For a weight w, an interval I and a function , we denote by and . We also use the convention .

4. -Jump Operators and the Number of Up-Crossing
This section is devoted to study the -jump operators and the number of up-crossing associated with the operators sequence , which give certain quantitative information on the convergence of the above families of operators.

5. Conclusions and Further Comments
It should be pointed out that our main results represent one-sided extensions of the main results in [19,28]. Combining with the two-sided case, the one-sided case is often more complex. Our main results not only enrich the variation inequalities for singular integrals and related commutators, but also explore some one-sided techniques to serve our aim (for example, see Lemma 1). In fact, it is unknown whether the variation operators for one-sided singular integrals are bounded on , which will be our forthcoming objective of research. On the other hand, some new one-sided methods and techniques can be explored to apply other one-sided operators.
