Fredholmness of singular integral operators with piecewise continuous coefficients on weighted Banach function spaces
Abstract
Description
We prove necessary conditions for Fredholmness of singular integral operators with piecewise continuous coefficients on weighted Banach function spaces. These conditions are formulated in terms of indices of submultiplicative functions associated with local properties of the space, of the curve, and of the weight. As an example, we consider weighted Nakano spaces $L^{p(\cdot)}_w$ (weighted Lebesgue spaces with variable exponent). Moreover, our necessary conditions become also sufficient for weighted Nakano spaces over nice curves whenever $w$ is a Khvedelidze weight, and the variable exponent $p(t)$ satisfies the estimate $|p(τ)-p(t)|\le A/(-\log|τ-t|)$.
