Variational inequalities for generalized spherical means

Abstract

In this paper, we establish the $L^{p}(\mathbb{R}^{d})$-boundedness of the variation operator and the $\delta$-jump operator for generalized spherical means, and we also show the necessary conditions for the $L^{p}(\mathbb{R}^{d})$-boundedness of these operators. These results are almost optimal when $d=2$.
