Let the kernel \(\varphi(x,y)\) satisfy the assumptions: \(\varphi(x,y)>0\) if \(x>y\); \(\varphi(x,y)\) is nondecreasing in \(x\) and in \(y\); \(\varphi(x,y)\approx\varphi(x,z)+\varphi(z,y)\) if \(y<z<x\). The authors consider the operator \[ T_ rf(x)=\int^ x_ 0[\varphi(x,y)]^ rf(y)dy,\quad x>0, \] and its adjoint \(T^*_ r\). Their main result is the following: Let \(1<p\leq q<\infty\) and let \(u\) and \(v\) be nonnegative, measurable functions on \((0,\infty)\) with \(0<u\),\(v<\infty\) a.e. Then \[ \| uTf\|_ q\leq C\| vf\|_ p \] for all \(f\geq 0\) if and only if \[ I^*[(v^{-1}I^*u^ q)^{p'}]\leq C(I^*u^ q)^{p'/q'}<\infty \] and \[ I^*[(v^{-1}T^ x_ qu^ q)^{p'}]\leq C(T^*_ qu^ q)^{p'/q'}<\infty \] a.e. on \((0,\infty)\), where \(I=T_ 0\). The proof is easy in the sense that it uses no other means except Hölder and Minkowski inequalities. A comparison with some results of V. D. Stepanov and T. Martin-Rayes and E. Sawyer is given. We note that the recent papers by V. D. Stepaov [Izv. Akad. Nauk SSSR, Ser. Mat. 54, No. 3, 645-656 (1990; Zbl 0705.26015); Sib. Mat. Zh. 31, No. 3(181), 186-197 (1990; Zbl 0727.42007)] are also relevant.
