Abstract: | Let w be a Muckenhoupt weight and be the weighted Hardy spaces. We use the atomic decomposition of and their molecular characters to show that the Bochner-Riesz means are bounded on for 0<p?1 and δ>max{n/p−(n+1)/2,n/p]rw−1(rw−1)−(n+1)/2}, where rw is the critical index of w for the reverse Hölder condition. We also prove the boundedness of the maximal Bochner-Riesz means for 0<p?1 and δ>n/p−(n+1)/2. |
