Question about a Corollary of Grafakos's "Modern Fourier Analysis"

106 Views Asked by At

The question is about the proof of Corollary 2.2.5 in Grafakos's book "Modern Fourier Analysis". And the statement can be writen as follows:

Let $\phi,\psi \in \mathcal{S}(\mathbb{R}^n)$ and the Fourier transform of $\psi$ is supported in some annulus, say $\{1/2\le |\xi|\le 2\}$. Then let $0<r<\infty$. We have for all tempered distribution $f\in \mathcal{S}^{'}(\mathbb{R}^n)$ and all $t>0$, we have

$$ |\phi_t * \Delta_j^{\psi}(f)(x)| \le C(n,r,\phi) M(|\Delta_j^{\psi}(f)|^r)^{1/r}(x)\tag{1} $$ where $M$ is the Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator and $\Delta_j^{\psi}(f)$ is the Littlewood-Paley operator associated to $\psi$ i.e. $\Delta_j^{\psi}(f)(x) = (\psi_{2^{-j}}*f)(x)$.

The proof is based on Lemma 2.2.3 which states that:

Let $0<r<\infty$. Then for all $t>0$ and all $C^1$ functions $u$ on $\mathbb{R}^n$ whose Fourier transform is supported in the ball $B(0,t)$, then we have $$ \sup_{z\in \mathbb{R}^n} \frac{|u(x-z)|}{(1+t|z|)^{n/r}} \le C(n,r) M(|u|^r)^{1/r}(x)\tag{2} $$

Then the idea is that we can bound the LHS of ${(1)}$ by $$ \int |\Delta_j^{\psi}(f)(x-z)|t^{-n}|\phi(z/t)|dz \le C(\phi,N)\int \frac{|\Delta_j^{\psi}(f)(x-z)|}{(1+t^{-1}|z|)^{n/r}}t^{-n}(1+t^{-1}|z|)^{n/r-N}dz $$

$$ \le C(\phi,N) \sup_{z}\frac{|\Delta_j^{\psi}(f)(x-z)|}{(1+t^{-1}|z|)^{n/r}} \int \frac{t^{-n}}{(1+t^{-1}|z|)^{N-n/r}}dz $$ then choose $N=n/r+n+1$ to make the integral convergent and by $(2)$ we get $$ |\phi_t*\Delta_j^{\psi}(f)(x)|\le C(n,r,\phi)\sup_{z}\frac{|\Delta_j^{\psi}(f)(x-z)|}{(1+t^{-1}|z|)^{n/r}}\le C(\phi,n,r)M(|\Delta_j^{\psi}(f)|^r)^{1/r}(x)\tag{3} $$

And my question is that, we know $\Delta_j^{\psi}(f)$ is $C^1$ and has Fourier transform supprted in $B(0,2^{j+1})$ then by $(2)$, we can get $$ \sup_{z}\frac{|\Delta_j^{\psi}(f)(x-z)|}{(1+2^{j+1}|z|)^{n/r}}\le C(n,r)M(|\Delta_j^{\psi}(f)|^r)^{1/r}(x) $$ but how can we pass $2^{j+1}$ to any positive $t^{-1}$ with the constant in $(3)$ still only depends on $n,r,\phi.$ In particular, what if $t^{-1}<2^{j+1}$.

Many thanks in advance.
