Generalized Hardy-Cesàro operators between weighted spaces
We characterize those non-negative, measurable functions $ψ$ on $[0,1]$ and positive, continuous functions $ω_1$ and $ω_2$ on $\mathbb R^+$ for which the generalized Hardy-Cesàro operator $$(U_ψf)(x)=\int_0^1 f(tx)ψ(t)\,dt$$ defines a bounded operator $U_ψ:L^1(ω_1)\to L^1(ω_2)$. Furthermore, we extend $U_ψ$ to a bounded operator on $M(ω_1)$ with range in $L^1(ω_2)\oplus\mathbb Cδ_0$. Finally, we show that the zero operator is the only weakly compact generalized Hardy-Cesàro operator from $L^1(ω_1)$ to $L^1(ω_2)$.
