Some new iterated Hardy-type inequalities: the case theta=1

Abstract

In this paper we characterize the validity of the Hardy-type inequality &#8741 &#8741 &#8747 _s&#8734) h(z)dz &#8741 p,u,(0,t) &#8741 q,w,(=,&#8734≤ c&#8741h&#8741 1,v(0,&#8734) where 0 < p < ∞,0< q ≤ +∞, u, w and v are weight functions on (0,∞). It is pointed out that this characterization can be used to obtain new characterizations for the boundedness between weighted Lebesgue spaces for Hardy-type operators restricted to the cone of monotone functions and for the generalized Stieltjes operator.
