1. Introduction
Throughout this work, we assume that () is the n-dimensional Euclidean space and for . In addition, we assume that is the unit sphere in , which is equipped with the normalized Lebesgue surface measure .

For a suitable function

given by

If

was introduced by Stein in [
1] in which Stein established the
boundedness of

. This result was discussed and improved by many mathematicians. For example, the authors of [
2] proved that, if
, then the
boundedness of

3] that

is optimal in the sense that the operator
may lose the
boundedness when

for some
. Walsh in [
4] obtained that

if
. Furthermore, he established the optimality of the condition
in the sense that the exponent
in
cannot be replaced by any smaller number.
Hörmander in [
5] started studying the parametric Marcinkiewicz integral operator
. In fact, he proved the
boundedness of

. Subsequently, the investigation of the
boundedness of the parametric Marcinkiewicz integrals under very various conditions on
,

Although some open problems related to the boundedness of the operators
remain open, the investigation to determine the boundedness of the generalized parametric Marcinkiewicz integrals has been started. Historically, the operator
was introduced by Chen, Fan and Ying in [
15]; they showed that, if
,

, then
holds for all

16] improved this result. As a matter of fact, he found that the last result is still true for all
under the conditions that

Let us recall the definition of the Triebel–Lizorkin spaces. For

It is worth mentioning that, when , the class is empty. Some model examples for the class are with and with .
Here, and henceforth, we let denote the conjugate index of p defined by .
Our main results are formulated as follows:
Theorem 1. Let for some satisfy the condition (1), and for some . Suppose that for some . Then, for any , there exists a positive constant (independent of Ω,
ϕ, h, r, s, and q) such thatfor ; andfor . Theorem 2. Assume that ϕ and Ω
are given as in Theorem 1. Suppose that for some . Then, there is a constant such thatfor with and ; andfor with and . By the conclusions in Theorems 1 and 2 and the extrapolation arguments used in [
18,
22,
23], we get the following results.
Theorem 3. Assume that for some and Ω

Let satisfy the condition (1), for some and for some . If for some , thenfor with and ; and for with and . If , thenfor with and ; and for with and . We point out that our results generalize what Al-Qassem found in [
18]; and also extend and improve ([
24] Theorems 1 and 2). Precisely, the results in [
18] are acheived when we take

, we directly obtain the results in [
24].
2. Preparation
In this section, we establish some lemmas used in the proof of our results. Let us start this section by introducing some notations. Let
. For a suitable mapping
,
and a measurable function

and the corresponding maximal operators
and
on
are defined by
and
where
is defined in the same way as
, but with replacing
by
and
h by
. We write
and
for the total variation of
We shall need the following lemma which can be derived by applying the same arguments (with only minor modifications) used in the proof of ([
24], Lemma 4).
Lemma 1. Let , for some and for some . Suppose that for some . Then, there exist constants C and a with such that, for all ,where the constant C is independent of ζ, k and ϕ. By using ([
9], Lemma 2.4) and following the same approaches employed in ([
8], Lemmas 2.4 and 2.5), we immediately get the following lemma.
Lemma 2. Let , for some , for some , and for some . Then, there is a constant such thatfor all with ; andfor all with . By applying the same procedures (with only minor modifications) as those in [
18], we obtain the following:
Lemma 3. Let , for some and for some . Let for some and be a real number. Then, there is a positive constant such that the inequalitiesandhold for arbitrary functions on . Proof. Let us first prove the inequality (12). On one hand, if
, then Hölder’s inequality and (9) lead us to
Hence, (12) is true for the case
. On the other hand, if
, then, by duality, there exists a non-negative function
with
such that
By Hölder’s inequality, we obtain
Thus, by a change of variable, Hölder’s inequality and (9), we reach that
where
. Therefore, (12) is satisfied.
Now, consider the case
which gives
. Again, by the duality, there exist functions
defined on
with
such that
As
, we conclude that there is a function
such that
Hence, by Hölder’s inequality and (16), we obtain that
for all
. Therefore, the proof of Lemma 3 is complete. □
In the same manner, we obtain the following:
Lemma 4. Let for some ; and let Ω, θ, ϕ, and r be given as in Lemma 3. Then, a positive constant exists such that
(ii) If , we havewhere are arbitrary functions on . Proof. Let us first consider the case
with
. As above, by the duality, there are functions
defined on
with
such that
where
As
, then, by Hölder’s inequality, we have that
Again, since
, we deduce that there is a function
such that
Hence, by a simple change of variables, Hölder’s inequality, ([
9], Lemma 2.5) and (21), we get that
Therefore, by (20) and the last inequality, we reach (18) for any
with
. Now, we consider the case
with
. Thanks to (11), we get that
for all
and
. This implies
Here, we follow the same above procedure; by Hölder’s inequality, we get
By duality, there is a function
with
such that
where
. Thus, when we define the linear operator
H on any function
by
, then, by interpolation (23) and (24), we directly obtain that
for all
and
. This ends the proof of Lemma 4. □
