Abstract
Let \(L=-\Delta +V\) be a Schrödinger operator with the potential V belonging to the reverse Hölder class \(B_{q}, q>n/2\). Denote by \(\mathrm{CMO}_{\theta }(\rho )\) the vanishing mean oscillation type space associated with L. By the aid of the regularity estimates of the fractional heat kernel related with L, we investigate the weighted boundedness and compactness of the commutators of operators generated by fractional heat semigroups related to L and functions belonging to \(\mathrm{CMO}_{\theta }(\rho )\).

1 Introduction
As an important concept in the functional analysis, the compactness of operators is widely used in the research of many fields, such as partial differential equations, the potential theory and so on. A linear operator L from a Banach space X to another Banach space Y is called a compact operator if the image under L of any bounded subset of X is a relatively compact subset of Y. As a class of bounded linear operators, compact operators have many good properties. For examples, it is well known that if Y is a Hilbert space, the class of compact operators can be defined alternatively as the closure of the set of finite-rank operators in the norm topology. The compact operators on an infinite-dimensional separable Hilbert space form a maximal ideal and the related quotient algebra is simple. Since the embedding of Sobolev spaces is compact, by the aid of the Gärding inequality and the Lax–Milgram theorem, an elliptic boundary value problem can be converted into Fredholm integral equations, see [54]. We refer to Conway [21], Folland and Stein [25] and Kutateladze [34] and the references therein for further information on compact operators.
In the literature, the compactness of commutators of different operators has been widely investigated by many researchers. In 1978, Uchiyama [49] first studied the compactness of commutators of a class of singular integral operators \(T_{\Omega }\) and proved that the commutator \([b,T_{\Omega }]\) is compact on \(L^{p}(\mathbb {R}^{n}), 1<p<\infty\), if and only if \(b\in \text {CMO}(\mathbb {R}^{n})\), where \(\text {CMO}(\mathbb {R}^{n})\) denotes the closure of \(\mathcal {C}_{c}^{\infty }(\mathbb {R}^{n})\) in the topology of \(\text {BMO}(\mathbb {R}^{n})\). The compactness of commutators of linear Fourier multipliers and pseudodifferential operators was considered by Cordes [22]. Peng [39] gave the compactness of paracommutators \(T^{s,t}_{b}\). Beatrous and Li [6] studied the boundedness and compactness of the commutators of Hankel type operators. Krantz and Li [32, 33] applied the compactness characterization of the commutator \([b,T_{\Omega }]\) to study Hankel type operators on Bergman spaces. Wang [50] showed that the commutators of fractional integral operators are compact from \(L^{p}(\mathbb {R}^{n})\) to \(L^{q}(\mathbb {R}^{n})\). In 2009, Chen and Ding [18] proved that the commutators of singular integrals with variable kernels are compact on \(L^{p}(\mathbb {R}^{n})\) if and only if \(b \in \text {CMO}(\mathbb {R}^{n})\). In [19], the authors also established the compactness of Littlewood–Paley square functions. After that, Chen et al. [20] obtained the compactness of commutators for Marcinkiewicz integrals on Morrey spaces. Liu and Tang [38] studied the compactness for higher order commutators of oscillatory singular integral operators. For more information about the compactness problems of commutators, see also [7,8,9, 14,15,16,17, 23, 24, 27,28,29,30,31, 47, 48, 52, 55,56,57] and the references therein.
In recent twenty years, the semigroup of compact operators are widely investigated and used by many researchers on numerous topics of PDEs. In the setting of a Banach space X, Bahuguna and Srvastavai [4] studied the local and global existence of mild solutions to a class of integro-differential equations in an arbitrary Banach space associated with operators generating compact semigroup. In 2009, the results in [4] were extended to the time-fractional case by Rashid and El-Qaderi, see [40]. In [3], Avicou, Chalendar and Partington investigated the analyticity and the compactness of semigroups of composition operators on Hardy and Dirichlet spaces on the unit disc. Let \(\{e^{-tL}\}_{t\ge 0}\) be the Schrödinger heat semigroup on \(L^2(\mathbb {R}^n )\) generated by the self-adjoint linear operator \(-L=\Delta -q(x)\). In [2], Alziary and Takáč focus on the equivalence of the intrinsic ultra-contractivity of \(\{e^{-tL}\}_{t\ge 0}\) and the compactness of this semigroup. For further information on this topic, see [1, 5, 41] and the references therein.
Consider the Schrödinger operator: \(L=-\Delta +V\) in \(\mathbb {R}^{n}\), \(n\ge 3\), where \(\Delta\) is the Laplacian operator on \(\mathbb {R}^{n}\) and V is a nonnegative potential belonging to certain reverse Hölder class \(RH_{q}\) with an exponent \(q>n/2\), that is, there exists a constant \(C>0\) such that for every ball B(x, r) in \(\mathbb {R}^{n}\),
Recently, Bongioanni et al. [10] proved \(L^{p}(\mathbb {R}^{n})\) \((1<p<\infty )\) boundedness for commutators of Riesz transforms associated with Schrödinger operators with \(\text {BMO}_{\theta }(\rho )(\mathbb {R}^{n})\) functions which include the class of BMO functions. In [11], Bongioanni et al. established the weighted boundedness for Riesz transforms, fractional integrals and Littlewood–Paley functions associated to Schrödinger operators with weight \(A_{p}^{\rho }\) class which includes the Muckenhoupt weight class. Tang and his collaborators [45, 46] established weighted norm inequalities for some Schrödinger type operators, which include commutators of Riesz transforms, fractional integrals, and Littlewood–Paley functions related to Schrödinger operators (cf. [12, 13]). Li and Peng [37] investigated compact commutators of Riesz transforms associated to Schrödinger operators. Li et al. [36] established a compactness criterion with applications to the commutators associated with Schrödinger operators.
In this paper, we investigate the weighted compactness of commutators of maximal operators and fractional operators generated by fractional Schrödinger heat semigroups. Let \(\{\Phi ^{L}_{t,\gamma _{1},\gamma _{2}}\}_{t\ge 0}\) be a family of operators related L with the kernels satisfying the conditions (2.3) and (2.4) below. Define the maximal operator related with \(\{\Phi ^{L}_{t,\gamma _{1},\gamma _{2}}\}_{t\ge 0}\) as
Let \(b\in \mathrm{CMO}_{\theta }(\rho )({\mathbb {R}}^{n})\) in Theorem 3.3 and \(w\in A^{\rho ,\theta }_{p}\). We consider the compactness of commutators \([b,\ \Phi ^{L,*}_{\gamma _{1},\gamma _{2}}]\) on the weighted Lebesgue spaces \(L^{p}(w)\). In the literature, the proof of the compactness on the classical Lebesgue spaces is based on the following Frechet–Kolomogorv theorem.
Theorem 1.1
[58, page 275] A subset G of \(L^{p}(\mathbb {R}^{n})\), \(1\le p<\infty\), is strongly precompact if and only if it satisfies:
-
(i)
\(\sup \nolimits _{f\in G}\Vert f\Vert _{p}<\infty ;\)
-
(ii)
For any \(\varepsilon >0\), there exists a closed region \(K_{\delta _{\epsilon }}\) and \(\delta _{\varepsilon }>0\) such that for any \(f\in G\), \(\Vert f\Vert _{L^{p}({K^{c}_{\delta _{\varepsilon }}})}<\varepsilon ;\)
-
(iii)
For any \(f\in G\), \(\lim \nolimits _{|z|\rightarrow 0}\Vert f(\cdot +z)-f(\cdot )\Vert _{p}=0\), uniformly.
In the proofs of the main results of [37] and [36], when verifying the condition (iii), the authors used the translation invariance of classical Lebesgue spaces, i.e., \(\Vert f(\cdot +z)\Vert _{L^{p}}=\Vert f(\cdot )\Vert _{L^{p}},\) see [37, page 731]. Obviously, this translation invariance is invalid for the weighted Lebesgue spaces \(L^{p}(w)\) and hence, Theorem 1.1 mentioned above is invalid for the compactness on weighted Lebesgue spaces. In 2021, Xue et al. established a weighted version of Theorem 1.1, which holds for weights beyond \(A_{\infty }\). As applications, the authors obtained the weighted compactness theory for the commutators of multilinear vector-valued Calderón–Zygmund type operators, including the commutators of multilinear Littlewood–Paley type operators. In essence, the method used in [57] is a the smooth truncated method. Roughly speaking, let \(b\in \mathrm{BMO}\) and T be a linear operator T which is bounded on weighted Lebesgue spaces \(L^{p}(w)\). We utillize a sequence of commutators \(\{[b_{\epsilon , T}]\}_{\epsilon >0}\) to approximate [b, T] in the sense of \(L^{p}(w)\) as \(\epsilon \rightarrow 0\), where \(b_\epsilon \in C^{\infty }_{0}\). Since the elements in \(C^{\infty }_{0}\) are sufficiently smooth, this method avoids the difficulty caused by the lack of translation invariance of \(L^{p}(w)\), and can be applied to deal with the weighted compactness of operators on many function spaces, see [27, 51, 57].
Inspired by [51, 57], by conditions (2.3)–(2.4) and the weighted estimates for maximal functions, we first prove that the \(L^{p}\) weighted boundedness of the maximal function \(\Phi ^{L,*}_{\gamma _{1},\gamma _{2}}\) and the related commutator \([b,\ \Phi ^{L,*}_{\gamma _{1},\gamma _{2}}]\), see Theorem 2.13 and Proposition 2.14. Via a function in \(\mathcal {C}^{\infty }([0,\infty ))\), we introduce a family of truncated operators \(\{\Phi ^{L,*}_{\gamma _{1},\gamma _{2},\gamma }\}\) and prove that \(\{[b,\ \Phi ^{L,*}_{\gamma _{1},\gamma _{2},\gamma }]\}\) is compact on the weighted \(L^{p}\) space. Hence the compactness results for \([b,\ \Phi ^{L,*}_{\gamma _{1},\gamma _{2}}]\) can be deduced from [58, p.278, Theorem (iii)], see Theorem 3.3.
We point out that the \(L^{p}\)-compactness of the commutator \([b,\ \Phi ^{L,*}_{\gamma _{1},\gamma _{2}}]\) obtained in Theorem 3.3 covers many maximal functions associated with Schrödinger operators. Let \(\{e^{-tL^{\alpha }}\}_{t\ge 0}\), \(\alpha \in (0,1)\), be the fractional heat semigroup associated with Schrödinger operators with the kernel \(K_{\alpha ,t}^{L}(\cdot ,\cdot )\) and let \(p^{L,\alpha }_{t,\sigma }(\cdot ,\cdot )\) be the generalized Poisson operator related with L, respectively. Define the operators
where
and
The corresponding maximal operators are defined as
By the regularity estimates of the fractional heat kernel \(K^{L}_{\alpha ,t}(\cdot ,\cdot )\), we can verify that the kernels \(K^{L}_{i,t}(\cdot ,\cdot )\), \(i=1,2,\ldots ,6\), satisfy the conditions (2.3) and (2.4) for some \(\gamma _{1}, \gamma _{2}\). Therefore the weighted \(L^{p}\)-compactness of \([b,\ T^{L, *}_{i}]\), \(i=1,2,\ldots ,6\), are immediate consequences of Theorem 3.3.
In Sect. 4, we focus on the weighted \((L^{p}, L^{q})\)-boundedness and compactness of the fractional operators and their commutators generated by Schrödinger operators. Let
where
and
In Theorems 4.3 and 4.4, an application of weighted estimates of maximal functions indicates the weighted \((L^{p}, L^{q})\)-boundedness of \(\widetilde{\mathcal {I}}_{i}^{L}\), \(i=1,2\), and \([b,\ \widetilde{\mathcal {I}}_{i}^{L}]\), \(i=1,2,\) respectively. We prove that for \(b\in \mathrm{CMO}_{\theta }(\rho )({\mathbb {R}}^{n})\) and \(w\in A^{\rho }_{p,q}\), the commutators \([b,\ \widetilde{\mathcal {I}}_{i}^{L}]\), \(i=1,2\), are compact from \(L^{p}(w^{p})\) to \(L^{q}(w^{q})\), where \(w\in A^{\rho }_{p,q}\), see Theorem 4.5.
We point out that our compactness results generalize those obtained in [51]. Let \(\alpha =1\). Then the weighted compactness for \([b, T^{L,*}_{1}]\) in Theorem 3.4 (i) comes back to [51, Theorem 1.1]. The compactness results for \([b, T^{L,*}_{i}], i=2,3,\ldots 6\), are new even for \(\alpha =1\) or the setting of the Lebesgue measure, i.e., \(w(x)=1\). Also, noting that for \(\alpha =1\), \(\mathcal {I}_{1}^{L}=L^{-\beta }\), the fractional integrals related with L. Hence, Theorem 4.5 can be seen as a generalization of [51, Theorem 1.2].
Notations Throughout this article, we will use A and C to denote the positive constants, which are independent of main parameters and may be different at each occurrence. By \(B_{1}\simeq B_{2}\), we mean that there exists a constant \(C>1\) such that \(C^{-1}\le B_{1}/B_{2}\le C\).

As in [42], we will use the auxiliary function \(\rho\) defined on \(\mathbb {R}^{n}\) as
Definition 2.1
Let \(L=-\Delta +V\), \(V\in B_{q}\), be a Schrödinger operator. Assume that \(\gamma _{1}>0\) and \(\gamma _{2}\in (0,2)\). Let \(\{\Phi ^{L}_{t,\gamma _{1},\gamma _{2}}\}_{t\ge 0}\) be a family of operators related to L and with the integral kernel \(K^{L,\gamma _{1}}_{\gamma _{2},t}(\cdot ,\cdot )\), i.e.,
where \(K^{L,\gamma _{1}}_{\gamma _{2},t}(\cdot ,\cdot )\) satisfies the following conditions.

$$\begin{aligned} |K^{L,\gamma _{1}}_{\gamma _{2},t}(x+h,y)-K^{L,\gamma _{1}}_{\gamma _{2},t}(x,y) |\le \frac{C_{N}(|h|/t^{1/\gamma _{2}})^{\delta }t^{\gamma _{1}}}{(t^{1/\gamma _{2}}+|x-y|)^{n+\gamma _{1}\gamma _{2}}} \left( 1+\frac{t^{1/\gamma _{2}}}{\rho (x)}+\frac{t^{1/\gamma _{2}}}{\rho (y)}\right) ^{-N}. \end{aligned}$$(2.4)
Below we state some preliminaries on the fractional heat semigroup associated with L. The fractional heat kernel associated with L is defined via the subordinative formula (cf. [26]). Precisely, for \(0<\alpha <1\), there exists a continuous function \(\eta ^{\alpha }_{t}(\cdot )\) on \((0,\infty )\) such that
where \(\eta ^{\alpha }_{t}(\cdot )\) satisfies:
The following regularity estimates of \(K^{L}_{\alpha , t}(\cdot ,\cdot )\) were obtained by Li et al. in [35].

Let B be a ball centered at x. For \(\theta >0\), denote by \(\Psi _{\theta }(B)\) the function \(\Psi _{\theta }(B):=(1+r/\rho (x))^{\theta }\).

Definition 2.5
(\(\mathrm{BMO}_{\theta }(\rho )(\mathbb {R}^{n})\) space, [10]) For all \(x\in \mathbb {R}^{n}\), \(r>0\) and \(\theta >0\), the class \(\mathrm{BMO}_{\theta }(\rho )(\mathbb {R}^{n})\) is defined as the set of all locally integrable functions f satisfying
A norm for \(f\in \mathrm{BMO}_{\theta }(\rho )(\mathbb {R}^{n})\) is given by the infimum of the constants satisfying (2.6), after identifying functions that differ upon a constant. For convenience, the norm for \(f\in \mathrm{BMO}_{\theta }(\rho )(\mathbb {R}^{n})\) is denoted by \(||f||_{\mathrm{BMO}_{\theta }(\rho )}\). It is clear that \(\mathrm{BMO}(\mathbb {R}^{n})\subset \mathrm{BMO}_{\theta }(\rho )(\mathbb {R}^{n})\subset \mathrm{BMO}_{\theta ^{\prime }}(\rho )(\mathbb {R}^{n})\) for \(0<\theta <\theta ^{\prime }\).
For \(b\in \mathrm{BMO}_{\theta }(\rho )(\mathbb {R}^{n})\), the commutators of \(\Phi ^{L,*}_{\gamma _{1},\gamma _{2}}\) and \(\widetilde{\mathcal {I}}^{L}_{i}, i=1,2\), with b are defined by
and
Let \(B=B(x,r)\) and \(\lambda >0\). Denote by \(\lambda B\) the \(\lambda\)-dilate ball centered at x and with radius \(\lambda r\). For a cube Q with sides parallel to the axes, we use \(\lambda Q\), \(\lambda >0\), to denote the cube Q dilated by \(\lambda\).
Lemma 2.6
[42, Lemma 1.4] There exist \(k_{0}\ge 1\) and \(C>0\) such that for all \(x,y\in \mathbb {R}^{n}\),
In particular, \(\rho (x)\sim \rho (y)\) if \(|x-y|<C\rho (x)\).
Definition 2.7
(\(A^{\rho ,\theta }_{p}\) weights class, [11]) Let w be a nonnegative locally integrable function on \(\mathbb {R}^{n}\).
-
(i)
For \(1<p<\infty\), we say that a weight w belongs to the class \(A^{\rho ,\theta }_{p}\) if there exists a positive constant C such that for all balls \(B=B(x,r)\),
$$\begin{aligned} \left( \frac{1}{|B|}\int _{B}w(y)\mathrm{d}y\right) \left( \frac{1}{|B|}\int _{B}w(y)^{-1/(p-1)}\mathrm{d}y\right) ^{p-1}\le C\left( \Psi _{\theta }(B)\right) ^{p}. \end{aligned}$$(2.9) -

For \(p=1\), w is said to satisfy the \(A^{\rho ,\theta }_{1}\) condition if there exists a constant C such that for \(x\in {\mathbb {R}}^{n}\) a.e.,
$$\begin{aligned} M^{\theta }_{V}(w)(x):=\sup _{x\in B}\frac{1}{\Psi _{\theta }(B)|B|}\int _{B}|w(y)|\mathrm{d}y\le Cw(x), \end{aligned}$$(2.10)where the supremum is taken over all balls B centered at x with radius r.
Definition 2.8
(\(A^{\rho ,\theta }_{p,q}\) weights class, [45]). We say that a weight w belongs to the class \(A^{\rho ,\theta }_{p,q}\) for \(1<p<\infty\) and \(1\le q<\infty\), if there is a constant \(C>0\) such that for any cube \(Q=Q(x,r)\),
Remark 2.9
It is easy to see that \(w^{1/p}\in A^{\rho ,\theta }_{p,p}\) if and only if \(w\in A^{\rho ,\theta }_{p}\) for \(1\le p<\infty\) and \(w\in A^{\rho ,\theta }_{p,q}\) if and only if \(w^{q}\in A^{\rho ,\theta }_{1+q/p^{\prime }}\).
Lemma 2.10
[11, Proposition 5] and [45, Lemma 2.2] Let \(1<p<\infty\) and \(w\in A^{\rho ,\infty }_{p}=\bigcup _{\theta \ge 0}A^{\rho ,\theta }_{p}\). Then
-
(i)
If \(1\le p_{1}<p_{2}<\infty\), then \(A^{\rho ,\theta }_{p_{1}}\subset A^{\rho ,\theta }_{p_{2}}\).
-
(ii)
\(w\in A^{\rho ,\theta }_{p}\) if and only if \(w^{-{1}/{(p-1)}}\in A^{\rho ,\theta }_{p^{\prime }}\), where \(1/p+/p^{\prime }=1\).
-
(iii)
If \(w\in A^{\rho ,\infty }_{p}\), \(1<p<\infty\), then there exists \(\varepsilon >0\) such that \(w\in A^{\rho ,\infty }_{p-\varepsilon }\).
-
(iv)
If \(w\in A^{\rho ,\theta }_{p}\), \(1\le p<\infty\), then for any cube Q, we have
$$\begin{aligned} \frac{1}{\Psi _{\theta }(Q)|Q|}\int _{Q}|f(y)|\mathrm{d}y\le C\left( \frac{1}{w(5Q)}\int _{Q}|f(y)|^{p}w(y)\mathrm{d}y\right) ^{1/p}, \end{aligned}$$where \(w(E)=\int _{E}w(x)\mathrm{d}x\). In particular, for any set \(E\subset Q\), let \(f=\chi _{E}\). Then
$$\begin{aligned} \frac{|E|}{\Psi _{\theta }(Q)|Q|}\le C\left( \frac{w(E)}{w(5Q)}\right) ^{1/p}. \end{aligned}$$
2.2 Weighted boundedness of maximal functions and commutators related with L
To prove the boundedness of \([b,\ \Phi ^{L,*}_{\gamma _{1},\gamma _{2}}]\), we consider the following variant of maximal operator \(M_{V,\eta }\), \(0<\eta <\infty\), defined as
and its commutator
where the supremum is taken over all balls B centered at x with radius r.
Tang in [45] introduced a fractional variant maximal operator \(M_{\beta ,V,\eta }\) defined by
and obtained the following weighted strong type (p, q) inequality.
Lemma 2.11
[45, Theorem 2.10] Let \(0\le \beta <n\), \(1<p<n/\beta\), \(p^{\prime }=p/(p-1)\) and \(1/q=1/p-\beta /n\). If \(w\in A^{\rho }_{p,q}\) and \(\eta \ge (1-\beta /n)p^{\prime }/q\), then there exists a constant \(C>0\) such that
As a corollary of Lemma 2.11, for \(\beta =0\), we can get
Corollary 2.12
Let \(1<p<\infty\), \(p^{\prime }=p/(p-1)\) and suppose that \(w\in A^{\rho ,\theta }_{p}\). Then there exists a constant \(C>0\) such that
Theorem 2.13
Let \(1<p<\infty\), \(\gamma _{1}\gamma _{2}>\theta \eta\) and \(w\in A^{\rho ,\theta }_{p}\). The operator \(\Phi ^{L,*}_{\gamma _{1},\gamma _{2}}\) is bounded on \(L^{p}(w)\) when \(w\in A^{\rho ,\theta }_{p}\).
Proof
We first divide \(\Phi ^{L,*}_{\gamma _{1},\gamma _{2}}(f)\) into two parts:
where
The term I(x) is further divided into three parts, i.e., \(I(x)\le I_{1}(x)+I_{2}(x)+I_{3}(x)\), where
By (2.3), we have
For \(I_{2}(x)\), noting that \(\gamma _{1}\gamma _{2}>\theta \eta\), we can get
and
For II(x), by (2.3) again, taking N large enough, we obtain
The estimates for I(x) and II(x), together with Corollary 2.12 and \(p^{\prime }\le \eta <\infty\), imply that
This completes the proof. \(\square\)
Proposition 2.14
Let \(1<p<\infty\), \(\gamma _{1}\gamma _{2}>\theta \eta\) and \(w\in A^{\rho ,\theta }_{p}\). For \(b\in \mathrm{BMO}_{\theta }(\rho )(\mathbb {R}^{n})\), there exists a constant C such that
Proof
Similar to the procedure of the Theorem 2.13, we can get
Then using [44, Lemmas 3.3\(-\)3.5, Theorem 2.2 and Proposition 2.2], we can see that Proposition 2.14 holds. \(\square\)
3 Compactness of commutators of semi-group maximal function
Let X and Y be Banach spaces. Suppose that T and \(\{T_{n}\}\) are operators from X to Y. The weighted compactness of commutators are based on the following lemmas.
Lemma 3.1

[57, Theorem 1.1] Let w be a weight on \(\mathbb {R}^{n}\). Assume that \(w^{-1/(p_{0}-1)}\) is also a weight on \(\mathbb {R}^{n}\) for some \(p_{0}>1\). Let \(0<p<\infty\) and \(\mathcal {F}\) is sequentially compact in \(L^{p}(w)\) if the following three conditions are satisfied:
-
(i)
\(\mathcal {F}\) is bounded, i.e., \(\sup _{f\in \mathcal {F}}||f||_{L^{p}(w)}<\infty ;\)
-
(ii)
\(\mathcal {F}\) uniformly vanishes at infinity, i.e.,
$$\begin{aligned} \lim _{N\rightarrow \infty }\sup _{f\in \mathcal {F}}\int _{|x|>N}|f(x)|^{p}w(x)\mathrm{d}x=0; \end{aligned}$$ -
(iii)
\(\mathcal {F}\) is uniformly equicontinuous, i.e.,
$$\begin{aligned} \lim _{|h|\rightarrow 0}\sup _{f\in \mathcal {F}}\int _{\mathbb {R}^{n}}|f(\cdot +h)-f(\cdot )|^{p}w(x)\mathrm{d}x=0. \end{aligned}$$
Let \(\mathrm{CMO}_{\theta }(\rho )(\mathbb {R}^{n})\) denote the closure of \(C^{\infty }_{c}(\mathbb {R}^{n})\) in the \(\mathrm{BMO}_{\theta }(\rho )(\mathbb {R}^{n})\) topology.
Theorem 3.3
Let \(1<p<\infty\), \(\gamma _{1}\gamma _{2}>1+k_{0}\theta \eta\), \(w\in A^{\rho ,\theta }_{p}\) and \(b\in \mathrm{CMO}_{\theta }(\rho )(\mathbb {R}^{n})\). Then the commutator \([b,\ \Phi ^{L, *}_{\gamma _{1},\gamma _{2}}]\) defined by (2.7) is a compact operator from \(L^{p}(w)\) to itself.
Proof
Firstly, we will consider a smooth truncated function to prove this theorem. Let \(\varphi \in C^{\infty }([0,\infty ))\) satisfy
For any \(\gamma >0\), let
Define
and
For any \(b\in C^{\infty }_{c}(\mathbb {R}^{n})\) and \(\gamma ,\theta ,\eta >0\), by (3.2), (3.4) and (2.3) with \(N=\theta \eta\), one has
where
and
For \(L_{2}(x)\), since \(|x-y|\ge 2\gamma\), we have \(\varphi (\gamma ^{-1}|x-y|)=0\). Then we can get
where
For the terms \(J_{1}(x)\) and \(J_{3}(x)\), we have
and
It remains to estimate \(J_{2}(x)\).
By using (3.7), (3.5) and (3.6), the above fact leads to
Then Corollary 2.12 with \(p^{\prime }\le \eta <\infty\) gives
which implies that
On the other hand, if \(b\in \mathrm{CMO}_{\theta }(\rho )(\mathbb {R}^{n})\), then for any \(\varepsilon >0\), there exists \(b_{\varepsilon }\in C^{\infty }_{c}(\mathbb {R}^{n})\) such that \(\Vert b-b_{\varepsilon }\Vert _{\mathrm{BMO}_{\theta }(\rho )}<\varepsilon\). Then
Thus, to prove \([b,\ \Phi ^{L, *}_{\gamma _{1},\gamma _{2}}]\) is compact on \(L^{p}(w)\) for any \(b\in \mathrm{CMO}_{\theta }(\rho )\), it suffices to verify that \([b,\ \Phi ^{L,*}_{\gamma _{1},\gamma _{2}}]\) is compact on \(L^{p}(w)\) for any \(b\in C^{\infty }_{c}(\mathbb {R}^{n})\). By (3.8) and Lemma 3.1, it suffices to show that \([b,\ \Phi ^{L, *}_{\gamma _{1},\gamma _{2},\gamma }]\) is compact for any \(b\in C^{\infty }_{c}(\mathbb {R}^{n})\) when \(\gamma >0\) is sufficiently small. To this end, for arbitrary bounded set F in \(L^{p}(w)\), let
Then we need to verify that \(\mathcal {F}\) satisfies the conditions (i)–(iii) of Lemma 3.2 for \(b\in C^{\infty }_{c}(\mathbb {R}^{n})\).
From the definition \(K^{L,\gamma _{1}}_{\gamma _{2},t,\gamma }\), we can see that \(|K^{L,\gamma _{1}}_{\gamma _{2},t,\gamma }(x,y)|\le |K^{L,\gamma _{1}}_{\gamma _{2},t}(x,y)|\). Then
and
According to Theorem 2.13 and Proposition 2.14, \(\Phi ^{L,*}_{\gamma _{1},\gamma _{2},\gamma }\) and \([b,\ \Phi ^{L, *}_{\gamma _{1},\gamma _{2},\gamma }]\) are bounded from \(L^{p}(w)\) to \(L^{p}(w)\). We have
which yields the fact that the set \(\mathcal {F}\) is bounded.
To verify the condition (ii) of Lemma 3.2, we also need the following pointwise estimate for the kernel function, which can be found in [53, Theorem 3].
Suppose that \(b\in \mathcal {C}_{c}^{\infty }(\mathbb {R}^{n})\) and \(\text { supp } b \subset B(0,R)\), where B(0, R) is a ball of radius R and centered at origin in \(\mathbb {R}^{n}\). For \(\nu >2\), set \(B^{c}=\{x\in \mathbb {R}^{d}:\,|x|>\nu R\}\). Then we have
It can be deduced from Lemma 2.6 and the scaling technique directly that for any \(x, y\in \mathbb {R}^{n}\) and \(c\in (0,1]\),
where the constants \(k_{0}\) and C are as same as in Lemma 2.6.
Since \(|x|>\nu R\) implies \(|x-y|>(1-1/\nu )|x|\) with \(\nu >2\), applying (3.10) and Hölder’s inequality, we have
Thus, by using (3.11), it follows that
Taking \(Q=B(0,2^{j+1}\nu R)\) and \(E=B(0,R)\), we use (iv) in Lemma 2.10 to obtain
From the above estimation, we have
We can see that the series
is convergent. If \(R>\rho (0)\), since \(R>\rho (0)\) implies \(1/(1+(2^{j}\nu R)/\rho )<1/(1+2^{j}\nu )\le 1/2^{j}\nu\), it holds for \(N>2\theta (k_{0}+1)\),
On the other hand, for the case \(R\le \rho (0)\), since R and \(\rho\) are finite, there exists a finite integer \(N_{0}\ge [\log _{2}(\rho (0)/R)]+1\) such that \(2^{N_{0}}R>\rho (0)\). Therefore, similar to the case \(R>\rho (0)\), we can get
By the above arguments, we obtain
which implies that for any \(p>1\) and \(N>2\theta (k_{0}+1)\),
holds whenever \(f\in \mathcal {F}\).
It remains to show that the set \(\mathcal {F}\) is uniformly equicontinuous. It suffices to verify that for any \(\epsilon >0\), if |h| is sufficiently small and only depends on \(\epsilon\), then
holds whenever \(f\in \mathcal {F}\).
In what follows, fix \(\gamma \in (0,1)\) and \(|h|<\gamma /4\). Then
where
For II(x), it holds
Then Corollary 2.12, together with \(p^{\prime }\le \eta <\infty\), gives
We write \(I(x)\le I_{1}(x)+I_{2}(x)\), where
and
For \(I_{1}(x)\), if \(|h|\le t^{1/\gamma _{2}}\), then by (2.3) and (2.4), we have
Therefore, we have
where
If \(t^{1/\gamma _{2}}\ge 1\), then \((t^{1/\gamma _{2}})^{-\delta }\le 1\). For \(I_{1,1}(x)\), choosing \(N=\theta \eta\), we have
For \(I_{1,2}(x)\), we get
If \(t^{1/\gamma _{2}}<1\), then \((t^{1/\gamma _{2}})^{-\delta }<t^{-1/\gamma _{2}}\). For \(I_{1,3}(x)\), choosing \(N=\theta \eta\), if \(|h|\le t^{1/\gamma _{2}}\), \(|x-y|<t^{1/\gamma _{2}}\) and \(b\in C^{\infty }_{c}(\mathbb {R}^{n})\), then
Then, it follows that
For \(I_{1,4}(x)\), since \(b\in C^{\infty }_{c}(\mathbb {R}^{n})\), if \(|x-y|\sim 2^{k}t^{1/\gamma _{2}}\), \(k=1,2,\ldots\), and \(|h|\le t^{1/\gamma _{2}}\), then
It follows that
The estimates for \(I_{1,i}(x), i=1,2,3,4\), indicate that
Next we estimate \(I_{2}(x)\). If \(|x-y|<\gamma /2\) and \(|h|<\gamma /4\), then \(|x+h-y|<3\gamma /4\). Hence
This implies \(K^{L,\gamma _{1}}_{\gamma _{2},t,\gamma }(x+h,y)=0=K^{L,\gamma _{1}}_{\gamma _{2},t,\gamma }(x,y)\). Write \(I_{2}(x)\le I_{2,1}(x)+I_{2,2}(x)\), where
and
For \(I_{2,1}(x)\), since \(|x-y|\ge \gamma /2>2|h|\), we have \(|x+h-y|\sim |x-y|\). Since \(t^{1/\gamma _{2}}<|h|<\rho (x)\), it implies that \(\rho (x+h)\sim \rho (x)\), \(|h|/\rho (x)<1\) and \((|h|/t^{1/\gamma _{2}})>1\). For \(\gamma _{1}\gamma _{2}>1\), \(|h|/t^{1/\gamma _{2}}<(|h|/t^{1/\gamma _{2}})^{\gamma _{1}\gamma _{2}}\). Then
By \(\gamma _{1}\gamma _{2}-1-\theta \eta >0\), we can get \(I_{2,1}(x)\le C|h|M_{V,\eta }(f)(x).\)
Finally, it remains to consider \(I_{2,2}(x)\). Since \(b\in C^{\infty }_{c}(\mathbb {R}^{n})\), \(|x-y|\ge 2|h|\), \(|h|/t^{1/\gamma _{2}}>1\) and \(|b(x+h)-b(y)|\le C|x-y|\). In addition, if \(|x-y|<2^{l}\rho (x)\), \(l=1,2,\ldots\), by Lemma 2.6, we have \(\rho (y)\le C 2^{k_{0}l/(k_{0}+1)}\rho (x).\) It follows that
Choosing \(N=\gamma _{1}\gamma _{2}-1\) and applying (2.3) again, we obtain
The estimates (3.23) and (3.22) indicate that
Therefore, by (3.21) and (3.24), we have
By Corollary 2.12, for any \(p^{\prime }\le \eta <\infty\), it holds
Combining (3.13) with (3.14) and (3.25) gives that
Hence, we obtain the desired result (3.12). This finishes the proof of Theorem 3.3. \(\square\)

By Theorem 3.3, it suffices to show that \(p^{L,\alpha }_{t,\sigma }(x,y)\) satisfying the conditions (2.3) and (2.4) for \(\gamma _{2}=1\) and \(\gamma _{1}=2\alpha\).
We first prove that \(p^{L,\alpha }_{t,\sigma }(x,y)\) satisfies the condition (2.3). By (1.3) and (i) of Lemma 2.2 we can get

$$\begin{aligned} \left| p^{L,\alpha }_{t,\sigma }(x,y)\right|&\le C_{N}\int ^{\infty }_{0}e^{-r}\frac{t^{2\alpha }/(4r)}{|x-y|^{n+2\alpha }} (t^{2\alpha }/(4r))^{-N/\alpha }(\rho (x))^{N}(\rho (y))^{N}\frac{\mathrm{d}r}{r^{1-\sigma }}\\&\le C_{N}\frac{(t^{2\alpha })^{1-N/\alpha }}{|x-y|^{n+2\alpha }}(\rho (x))^{N}(\rho (y))^{N}\int ^{\infty }_{0}e^{-r}r^{-1+N/\alpha +\sigma -1}\mathrm{d}r\\&\le C_{N}\frac{t^{2\alpha }}{|x-y|^{n+2\alpha }}\left( \frac{t}{\rho (x)}\right) ^{-N}\left( \frac{t}{\rho (y)}\right) ^{-N}. \end{aligned}$$Case 1: \(t\le |x-y|\).

(i)
By the subordinative formula (2.5), letting \(s/t^{1/\alpha }=u\), we can get

$$\begin{aligned}&\left| \mathcal {I}^{L}_{1}(x+h,y)-\mathcal {I}^{L}_{1}(x,y)\right| \\&\quad \le \int ^{\infty }_{0}\eta ^{\alpha }_{1}(u)u^{\alpha \beta /2} \left| \left\{ \int ^{\infty }_{0}\left( K^{L}_{w}(x+h,y)-K^{L}_{w}(x,y)\right) w^{\alpha \beta /2}\frac{dw}{w}\right\} \right| du\\&\quad \le \frac{C|h|^{\delta ^{\prime }}}{|x-y|^{n-\alpha \beta +\delta ^{\prime }}}\left( 1+\frac{|x-y|}{\rho (x)}\right) ^{-N}. \end{aligned}$$ -

By [45, Lemma 3.7], we have
$$\begin{aligned} \left| \mathcal {I}^{L}_{2}(x,y)\right|&\le C\int ^{\infty }_{0}\frac{e^{-r}}{\Gamma (\sigma )r^{1-\sigma }}\left\{ \int ^{\infty }_{0} \left| K^{L}_{u}(x,y)\right| (4ur)^{\beta /4}\frac{r^{1/2}}{(4ur)^{1/2}u^{1/2}}du\right\} \mathrm{d}r\\&\le C\int ^{\infty }_{0}\frac{e^{-r}}{\Gamma (\sigma )r^{1-\sigma -\beta /4}}\left\{ \int ^{\infty }_{0}\left| K^{L}_{u}(x,y)\right| u^{\beta /4}\frac{du}{u}\right\} \mathrm{d}r\\&\le \frac{C_{N}}{|x-y|^{n-\beta /2}}\left( 1+\frac{|x-y|}{\rho (x)}\right) ^{-N}\int ^{\infty }_{0}\frac{e^{-r}}{\Gamma (\sigma )}r^{\beta /4+\sigma -1}\mathrm{d}r\\&\le \frac{C_{N}}{|x-y|^{n-\beta /2}}\left( 1+\frac{|x-y|}{\rho (x)}\right) ^{-N}. \end{aligned}$$Similar to (i), we have
$$\begin{aligned}&\left| \mathcal {I}^{L}_{2}(x+h,y)-\mathcal {I}^{L}_{2}(x,y)\right| \\&\quad \le \left| \int ^{\infty }_{0}\frac{e^{-r}}{\Gamma (\sigma )r^{1-\sigma -\beta /4}}\left\{ \int ^{\infty }_{0}\left( K^{L}_{u}(x+h,y)-K^{L}_{u}(x,y)\right) u^{\beta /4}\frac{du}{u} \right\} \mathrm{d}r\right| \\&\quad \le \frac{C_{N}|h|^{\delta ^{\prime }}}{|x-y|^{n-\beta /2+\delta ^{\prime }}}\left( 1+\frac{|x-y|}{\rho (x)}\right) ^{-N}\int ^{\infty }_{0}\frac{e^{-r}}{\Gamma (\sigma )}r^{\beta /4+\sigma -1}\mathrm{d}r\\&\quad \le \frac{C_{N}|h|^{\delta ^{\prime }}}{|x-y|^{n-\beta /2+\delta ^{\prime }}}\left( 1+\frac{|x-y|}{\rho (x)}\right) ^{-N}. \end{aligned}$$This completes the proof. \(\square\)
Lemma 4.2
For \(0<\beta <n\).
-
(i)
Let \(0<\alpha <1\), \(0<\alpha \beta <n\), \(1<p<n/(\alpha \beta )\) and \(1/q=1/p-\alpha \beta /n\). The operator \(\widetilde{\mathcal {I}}^{L}_{1}\) is bounded from \(L^{p}(\mathbb {R}^{n})\) into \(L^{q}(\mathbb {R}^{n})\).
-
(ii)
Let \(0<\sigma <1\) and \(0<\beta /2<n\), \(1<p<2n/\beta\) and \(1/q=1/p-\beta /(2n)\). The operator \(\widetilde{\mathcal {I}}^{L}_{2}\) is bounded from \(L^{p}(\mathbb {R}^{n})\) into \(L^{q}(\mathbb {R}^{n})\).
Proof
-
(i)
For \(0<\alpha <1\) and \(0<\alpha \beta <n\), by Proposition 4.1, it is easy to see that
$$\begin{aligned} \left| \widetilde{\mathcal {I}}^{L}_{1}(f)(x)\right| \le C\int _{\mathbb {R}^{n}}\frac{|f(y)|}{|x-y|^{n-\alpha \beta }}\left( 1+\frac{|x-y|}{\rho (x)}\right) ^{-N}\mathrm{d}y\le C|I_{\alpha \beta }(|f|)(x)|, \end{aligned}$$where \(I_{\alpha \beta }\) denotes the classical fractional integral. For \(1<p<n/(\alpha \beta )\) and \(1/q=1/p-\alpha \beta /n\), by the \((L^{p}, L^{q})\)-boundedness of \(I_{\alpha \beta }\), we have
$$\begin{aligned} \Vert \widetilde{\mathcal {I}}^{L}_{1}(f)\Vert _{q}\le C\Vert I_{\alpha \beta }(|f|)\Vert _{q}\le C\Vert f\Vert _{p}, \end{aligned}$$see [43, Chapter 5].
-
(ii)
Similar to \(\widetilde{\mathcal {I}}^{L}_{1}\), \(\widetilde{\mathcal {I}}^{L}_{2}\) is also bounded from \(L^{p}(\mathbb {R}^{n})\) into \(L^{q}(\mathbb {R}^{n})\), we omit the details. \(\square\)
Theorem 4.3
Let \(0<\beta <n\) and \(w\in A^{\rho }_{p,q}\).
-
(i)
If \(0<\alpha <1\), \(0<\alpha \beta <n\), \(1<p<n/(\alpha \beta )\) and \(1/q=1/p-\alpha \beta /n\), then
$$\begin{aligned} \left( \int _{\mathbb {R}^{n}}|\widetilde{\mathcal {I}}^{L}_{1}(f)(x)|^{q}w(x)^{q}\mathrm{d}x\right) ^{1/q}\le C\left( \int _{\mathbb {R}^{n}}|f(x)|^{p}w(x)^{p}\mathrm{d}x\right) ^{1/p}. \end{aligned}$$ -
(ii)
If \(0<\sigma <1\) and \(0<\beta /2<n\), \(1<p<2n/\beta\) and \(1/q=1/p-\beta /(2n)\), then

Proof
-
(i)
Following the procedure of [45, Theorem 3.8], since \(\widetilde{\mathcal {I}}^{L}_{1}\) is of weak type \((1,n/(n-\alpha \beta ))\), we can get
$$\begin{aligned} \int _{\mathbb {R}^{n}}|\widetilde{\mathcal {I}}^{L}_{1}(f)(x)|^{q}w(x)\mathrm{d}x\le \int _{\mathbb {R}^{n}}|M_{\alpha \beta ,V,\eta }(f)(x)|^{q}w(x)\mathrm{d}x. \end{aligned}$$By \(\Vert M_{\alpha \beta ,V,\eta }(f)\Vert _{L^{q}(w^{q})}\le \Vert f\Vert _{L^{q}(w^{q})}\), we can see that (i) of Theorem 4.3 holds.

Proof
-
(i)
Following the procedure of [45, Theorem 4.4], since \(\widetilde{\mathcal {I}}^{L}_{1}\) is of weak type \((1,n/(n-\alpha \beta ))\), then we can get
$$\begin{aligned} M^{\sharp }_{\delta ,\eta }([b,\ \widetilde{\mathcal {I}}^{L}_{1}])(f)(x)\le C\Vert b\Vert _{\mathrm{BMO}_{\theta }(\rho )}\Big (M^{\Delta }_{\epsilon ,\eta }(\widetilde{\mathcal {I}}^{L}_{1}(f))(x)+M_{L\log L,\alpha \beta ,V,\eta }(f)(x)\Big ). \end{aligned}$$It follows from the inequalities
$$\begin{aligned} C_{1}M_{\alpha \beta ,V,\eta }M_{V,\eta +1}(f)(x)\le M_{L\log L,\alpha \beta ,V,\eta }(f)(x)\le C_{2}M_{\alpha \beta ,V,\eta /2}(f)(x) \end{aligned}$$that

Theorem 4.5
Let \(0<\beta <n\), \(b\in \mathrm{CMO}_{\theta }(\rho )(\mathbb {R}^{n})\) and \(w\in A^{\rho }_{p,q}\).
-
(i)
For \(\alpha \in (0,1)\), \(0<\alpha \beta <n\), \(1<p<n/(\alpha \beta )\) and \(1/q=1/p-\alpha \beta /n\), the commutator \([b,\ \widetilde{\mathcal {I}}^{L}_{1}]\) is a compact operator from \(L^{p}(w^{p})\) to \(L^{q}(w^{q})\).
-
(ii)
For \(\sigma \in (0,1)\), \(0<\beta /2<n\), \(1<p<2n/\beta\) and \(1/q=1/p-\beta /(2n)\), the commutator \([b,\ \widetilde{\mathcal {I}}^{L}_{2}]\) is a compact operator from \(L^{p}(w^{p})\) to \(L^{q}(w^{q})\).
Proof
We only prove (i). The statement (ii) can be dealt with similarly and we omit the details. Similar to the procedure of Theorem 3.3, we choose the smooth truncated function \(\varphi \in C^{\infty }([0,\infty ))\) satisfying (3.1). For any \(\gamma >0\), let
Define
and
Combining (4.5), (4.7) and (4.1) with \(N=\theta (\eta +1-\alpha \beta /n)\), we show that for any \(b\in C^{\infty }_{c}(\mathbb {R}^{n})\) and \(\gamma ,\theta ,\eta >0\),
Then Lemma 2.11 with \(\eta \ge (1-\alpha \beta /n)p^{\prime }/q\) gives
which implies that
If \(b\in \mathrm{CMO}_{\theta }(\rho )(\mathbb {R}^{n})\) and \(w\in A^{\rho }_{p,q}\), there exists \(b_{\epsilon }\in C^{\infty }_{c}(\mathbb {R}^{n})\) such that \(\Vert b-b_{\epsilon }\Vert _{\mathrm{BMO}_{\theta }(\rho )}<\epsilon\) for any \(\epsilon >0\). Hence, by Theorem 4.4, we have
Thus, to prove \([b,\ \widetilde{\mathcal {I}}^{L}_{1}]\) is compact from \(L^{p}(w^{p})\) to \(L^{q}(w^{q})\) for any \(b\in \mathrm{CMO}_{\theta }(\rho )\), it suffices to show that \([b,\ \widetilde{\mathcal {I}}^{L}_{1,\gamma }]\) is compact from \(L^{p}(w^{p})\) to \(L^{q}(w^{q})\) for any \(b\in C^{\infty }_{c}(\mathbb {R}^{n})\) and sufficiently small \(\gamma >0\). For arbitrary bounded set G in \(L^{q}(w^{q})\), let \(\mathcal {G}=\{[b,\ \widetilde{\mathcal {I}}^{L}_{1,\gamma }](f):\ f\in G\}.\) Then, we only need to verify that \(\mathcal {G}\) satisfies the conditions (i)–(iii) of Lemma 3.2 for \(b\in C^{\infty }_{c}(\mathbb {R}^{n})\).
Firstly, we prove that \(\mathcal {I}^{L}_{1,\gamma }(\cdot ,\cdot )\) satisfies (4.1)–(4.2). For any \(x,y\in \mathbb {R}^{n}\),
For any \(|h|<|x-y|/2\), it suffices to verify that
We consider the following four cases:
Case 1. In this case, \(\mathcal {I}^{L}_{1,\gamma }(x+h,y)=\mathcal {I}^{L}_{1}(x+h,y)\) and \(\mathcal {I}^{L}_{1,\gamma }(x,y)=\mathcal {I}^{L}_{1}(x,y)\). This together with (4.1) yields (4.10).
Case 2. Since \(|h|<|x-y|/2\) imlpies \(\mathcal {I}^{L}_{1,\gamma }(x,y)=\mathcal {I}^{L}_{1}(x,y)\), \(|x+h-y|\ge |x-y|-|h|\ge |x-y|/2\), applying \(\gamma \ge |x-y|/4\) and (4.2), we infer that
which proves (4.11).
Case 3 and Case 4 can be deal with similar to Case 2.
From the definition of \(\mathcal {I}^{L}_{1,\gamma }\), we can see that \(|\mathcal {I}^{L}_{1,\gamma }(x,y)|\le |\mathcal {I}^{L}_{1}(x,y)|\). Then
and
Hence, the weighted \(L^{p}\) boundedness of \(\widetilde{\mathcal {I}}^{L}_{1,\gamma }\) and \([b,\ \widetilde{\mathcal {I}}^{L}_{1,\gamma }]\) also holds. Thus, we have
which yields the fact that the set \(\mathcal {G}\) is bounded.
Assume \(b\in C^{\infty }_{c}(\mathbb {R}^{n})\) and supp\((b)\subset B(0,R)\), where B(0, R) is the ball of radius R and centered at origin in \(\mathbb {R}^{n}\). Using (4.1), for \(|x|>A>2R\) we have
By Lemma 2.6, there exist \(k_{0}\le 1\) and \(C_{0}>0\) such that \(\rho (x)\le C_{0}\rho (0)(1+|x|/\rho (0))^{k_{0}/(k_{0}+1)}.\) Hence we can obtain
which leads to
Taking \(Q=B(0, 2^{j+1}A)\), \(E=B(0,R)\), since \(w\in A^{\rho }_{p,q}\), then \(w^{q}\in A^{\rho ,\theta }_{1+q/p^{\prime }}\). Let \(r=1+q/p^{\prime }\). By Lemma 2.10, we can get
Take \(N>\max \{(k_{0}+1)2\theta r/q,(k_{0}+1)((n+2\theta )r/q+\alpha \beta -n)\}\). Then
Therefore, we obtain
holds uniformly for \(f\in \mathcal {G}\).
It remains to show that the set \(\mathcal {G}\) is uniformly equicontinuous. It suffices to verify that for any \(\epsilon >0\), if |h| is sufficiently small and only depends on \(\epsilon\), then
holds uniformly for \(f\in \mathcal {G}\).
In what follows, we fix \(\gamma \in (0,1/4)\) and \(|h|<\gamma /4\). Then \([b,\ \widetilde{\mathcal {I}}^{L}_{1,\gamma }](f)(x+h)-[b,\ \widetilde{\mathcal {I}}^{L}_{1,\gamma }](f)(x)=:\widetilde{I}(x)+\widetilde{II}(x)\), where
For \(\widetilde{II}(x)\), it holds
Then, by the \(L^{p}(w^{p})\)-boundedness of \(\widetilde{\mathcal {I}}^{L}_{1}\), we have
When \(|x-y|<\gamma /2\) and \(|h|<\gamma /4\), then \(|x+h-y|<3\gamma /4\). Hence
This implies
Since \(|x-y|\ge \gamma /2\) and \(|h|<\gamma /4\) implies \(|h|<|x-y|/2\). Thus, combining (4.11) together with \(N=\theta (\eta +1-\alpha \beta /n)\), we have
By Lemma 2.11 for any \(\eta \ge (1-\alpha \beta /n)p^{\prime }/q\), it holds
Using (4.14) and (4.15), we get
Hence, we obtain the desired result (4.13). This completes the proof of (i). \(\square\)
