We apply a decomposition lemma of Uchiyama and results of the author to obtain good weighted Littlewood-Paley estimates for linear sums of functions satisfying reasonable decay, smoothness, and cancellation conditions. The heart of our application is a combinatorial trick treating m-fold dilates of dyadic cubes. We use our estimates to obtain new weighted inequalities for Bergman-type spaces defined on upper half-spaces in one and two parameters, extending earlier work of R. L. Wheeden and the author.
