Abstract

Characterizations are obtained for those pairs of weight functions u and v for which the operators Tf(x)=ʃa(x)b(x)f(t)dt with a and b certain non-negative functions are bounded from Lp_u(0,) to Lq_v(0,), 0 < p,q < ∞, p≥ 1. Sufficient conditions are given for T to be bounded on the cones of monotone functions. The results are applied to give a weighted inequality comparing differences and derivatives as well as a weight characterization for the Steklov operator.
