Abstract

Consider the equation

where ƒ ∈ Lp(ℝ), p ∈ (1, ∞) and

By a solution of (*), we mean any function y absolutely continuous together with (ry′) and satisfying (*) almost everywhere on ℝ. In addition, we assume that (*) is correctly solvable in the space Lp(ℝ), i.e.

(1) for any function , there exists a unique solution y ∈ Lp(ℝ) of (*);

(2) there exists an absolute constant c1(p) > 0 such that the solution y ∈ Lp(ℝ) of (*) satisfies the inequality

We study the following problem on the strengthening estimate (**). Let a non-negative function be given. We have to find minimal additional restrictions for θ under which the following inequality holds:

Here, y is a solution of (*) from the class Lp(ℝ), and c2 (p) is an absolute positive constant.
