The above operator was introduced by E.M. Stein in [7] as an extension of the notion of Marcinkiewicz function from one dimension to higher dimensions. By using the L boundedness of the 1-dimensional Marcinkiewicz function, Stein showed that μΩ is bounded on L(R) for 1 < p < ∞ whenever Ω is odd. For a general kernel function Ω, the L boundedness of μΩ has been established under various conditions on Ω. For example, Stein proved that μΩ is bounded on L(R) for 1 < p ≤ 2 if Ω ∈ Lip(Sn−1). Benedek, Calderon and Panzone proved in [2] that the L boundedness of μΩ holds for 1 < p < ∞ under the condition that Ω ∈ C1(Sn−1). In 1972 T. Walsh showed that the L boundedness of μΩ can still hold even if Ω is quite rough. Theorem 1 (Walsh [11]). Suppose that p ∈ (1,∞), r = min{p, p′}, and Ω ∈ L(log L)(log log L)2(1−2/r )(Sn−1). Then μΩ is bounded on L(R). When p = 2, the condition in Theorem 1 is simply Ω ∈ L(log L)1/2(Sn−1), which was shown by Walsh to be optimal in the sense that the exponent 1/2 in L(log L) cannot be replaced by any smaller numbers. On the other hand, Walsh did not consider his condition to be in any sense optimal when p = 2. Indeed, by comparing with the result of Calderon and Zygmund on singular integrals, one is naturally led to the question whether the condition Ω ∈ L(log L)1/2(Sn−1) is also sufficient for the L boundedness of μΩ even when p = 2. This problem, which was formally proposed by Y. Ding in [4], is resolved by our next theorem.
