1. Introduction
Let
denote the unit disk in the complex plane
, with its boundary
representing the unit circle. Furthermore, let
be the collection of all functions that are analytic within
. For any point
a within
, we define
as the automorphism of
that shifts the origin to
a, given by
. For any positive real number
, the Bloch-type space
is the set of all functions
g in
that meets the following requirement:
When furnished with this norm
,
is a Banach space. We also define
as
. Specifically,
is equivalent to
, known as the classical Bloch space. For more information on the various operators that act on the Bloch space, the reader is directed to the literature referenced in [
1,
2,
3,
4,
5,
6].
Given a non-negative function
that is integrable over the interval
, denoted by
. The extension of this function to the unit disk
, defined by
for all
, is known as a radial weight. The set of doubling weights, denoted by
, includes all radial weights
that fulfill the specific criterion (as detailed in [
7]):
where
is a constant with a value of at least 1. Throughout this paper, the function
is specified as the integral
.
Let
and
. The weighted Bergman space
, which arises from a doubling weight
, is defined as the collection of all functions
that satisfy the following condition:
In this context,
represents the normalized area measure over
. If
takes the form
with
, we refer to
as
, which is recognized as the standard weighted Bergman space. Throughout this paper, we assume that
for all
. If this is not the case, then
is equivalent to
.
We will denote the set of all analytic functions that map the unit disk
onto itself as
. Suppose we have a function
that is a member of
, the composition operator
is specified as:
The main emphasis in the study of composition operators is to establish a connection between the operator-theoretic attributes of
and the function-theoretic properties of
. For a comprehensive study of the various characteristics of composition operators, one should refer to the existing literature [
8,
9] and the references cited therein.
For every , the n-th differentiation operator, indicated by , is characterized by , with the understanding that and that . In particular, when , we arrive at the standard derivative operator D, which is frequently unbounded across a variety of spaces consisting of analytic functions.
Given that
and
, we introduce the generalized weighted composition operator
. This operator is an extension of the traditional weighted composition operator and is also known as the weighted differentiation composition operator, defined as:
In the particular case where
, the operator
is identified as the conventional weighted composition operator, denoted by
. The notion of the operator
was introduced by Zhu, the first author of this manuscript, as noted in [
10]. For additional understanding and findings concerning the generalized weighted composition operator on analytic function spaces, one should refer to the literature cited in [
10,
11,
12,
13,
14,
15,
16].
Let
k be a non-negative integer,
, and let
U represent the sequence
such that each
is an element of
. In the work [
17] by Wang, Wang, and Guo, the operator
was introduced, which is defined by the sum:
The researchers in [
17] explored the boundedness and compactness characteristics of the operator
within certain analytic function spaces. For an in-depth examination of this subject, the reader is encouraged to consult [
17,
18,
19,
20]. Nevertheless, the investigation into the finite sum of generalized weighted composition operators of varying orders remains largely unresolved.
The objective of this article is to study the boundedness and compactness of the operator , which refers to the sum of the generalized weighted composition operators from weighted Bergman spaces with doubling weights to Bloch-type spaces. We demonstrate a rigidity characteristic of . Specifically, the boundedness and compactness of are equivalent to those of each , for . Furthermore, we provide a calculation for the essential norm of the operator .
It should be observed that the essential norm of a bounded linear operator
is measured by its distance to the set of compact operators
that map from
X to
Y. This is expressed as:
recognizing that
X and
Y are Banach spaces, and
denotes the norm associated with the operator.
Throughout this paper, the symbol C denotes a positive constant that is contingent upon the context and may vary from one line to the next. We define to indicate the existence of a constant C for which . The notation signifies that and simultaneously.
2. Boundedness of
In this section, we investigate the boundedness of the operator
. We need some notations and the following lemma, which can be found in [
21].
For every
, the associated Carleson square at
is defined by the set:
For a radial weight
, the integral over the Carleson square is given by
It is evident that
. For an in-depth understanding of the properties of doubling weights, the reader is directed to [
7,
22] and the associated literature.

According to the proof of Theorem 1, we easily obtain the following result.
Corollary 1. Let , , , , and U denote the sequence such that . Then, is bounded if, and only if, each is bounded for every .
3. Essential Norm and Compactness of
In this part of the work, we provide a calculation for the essential norm of . To accomplish this goal, we initially introduce a series of lemmas that will be employed later in the verification of the main results in this section.
Given that
and
, it is deduced from Theorem 7 in [
22], that there is an isomorphism
. Applying Lemma 2.1 in [
23], we obtain the following lemma.
Lemma 2. Suppose , , such that is bounded. Then, K is compact if, and only if, as whenever is bounded in and uniformly converges to 0 on any compact subset of as .
Lemma 3. Let , , , , U denote the sequence such that and with such that is bounded. Then, is compact.
Proof. Assume that

as
. Therefore, by the fact that
is a compact subset of
, we have
For
, since
converges to zero uniformly on compact subsets of
, we obtain that
as
. Using (
15), we have
This proves that
is compact. □
Next, we state and prove the main results in this section. For simplicity, set
and
where
is a sequence in
.
Theorem 2. Let , , , , and U denote the sequence such that . If is bounded, then Proof. When the norm of is strictly less than one, i.e., , it is straightforward to demonstrate that the operator is compact, as established by Lemma 3. In such a case, the asymptotic relations are trivially satisfied.
We now shift our focus to the case where the norm of
equals one, i.e.,
. Let
be a sequence of functions within
that converges uniformly to zero on all compact subsets as
i tends to infinity. Given any compact operator
, it follows from Lemma 2 that the limit of the norm of
in
as
i approaches infinity is zero; that is,
. Consequently,
Therefore,
Next, let

with
as
such that

3). Similarly, we obtain
which implies that
Therefore,
Now, we fix

Since
as
, from (
19), (
24) and (
26), we obtain
Thus, applying (
23),
Therefore, for all
,
Let
be a sequence in
with
as
such that
It is easy to check that

and converges to zero uniformly on compact subsets of
. Moreover,
So, by using Lemma 1 and (
29), we obtain
Since
as
, from (
19), (
24), (
28) and (
30) we obtain
which implies that
Therefore, (
27) and (
31) imply that
Finally, we prove that
For

For
, we obtain
where
Using the fact that
and Lemma 1, we obtain
After a calculation, we have
From (
38), we see that
Hence, by (
33)–(
36) and (
39), we have
Hence, by (
32) and (40), we have
We have thus proved the theorem. □
