Sharp maximal function estimates for linear and multilinear pseudo-differential operators

Abstract

In this paper, we study pointwise estimates for linear and multilinear pseudo-differential operators with exotic symbols in terms of the Fefferman-Stein sharp maximal function and Hardy-Littlewood type maximal function. Especially in the multilinear case, we use a multi-sublinear variant of the classical Hardy-Littlewood maximal function introduced by Lerner, Ombrosi, Pérez, Torres, and Trujillo-González, which provides more elaborate and natural weighted estimates in the multilinear setting.
