Abstract
We establish a weighted Lp boundedness of a parametric Marcinkiewicz integral operator ℳΩ,hp if Ω is allowed to be in the block space Bq(0,-1/2)(Sn−1) for some q>1 and h satisfies a mild integrability condition. We apply this conclusion to obtain the weighted Lp boundedness for a class of the parametric Marcinkiewicz integral operators ℳΩ,h,λ∗,p and ℳΩ,h,sp related to the Littlewood-Paley gλ∗-function and the area integral S, respectively. It is known that the condition Ω∈Bq(0,−1/2)(Sn−1) is optimal for the L2 boundedness of ℳΩ,11.
