Abstract

We prove that the following endpoint Kato–Ponce inequality holds:\[{\lVert D^s (fg) \rVert}_{L^{\frac{q}{q+1}} (\mathbb{R}^n)}\lesssim{\lVert D^s f \rVert}_{L^1 (\mathbb{R}^n)}{\lVert g \rVert}_{L^q (\mathbb{R}^n)} \\+{\lVert f \rVert}_{L^1 (\mathbb{R}^n)}{\lVert D^s g \rVert}_{L^q (\mathbb{R}^n)}\; \textrm{,}\]for all $1 \leq q \leq \infty$, provided $s \gt n/q$ or $s \in 2 \mathbb{N}$. Endpoint estimates for several variants of Kato–Ponce inequality in mixed norm Lebesgue spaces are also presented. Our results complement and improve some existing results.
