264 Y. Achdou The spaces H s (R) are Hilbert spaces, with the inner product and norm: ∫ √ (w 1 ,w 2 ) H s (R) = (1 + ξ 2 ) s ŵ 1 (ξ)ŵ 2 (ξ)dξ, ‖w‖ H s (R) = (w, w) H s (R). R We refer to [Ada75] for the properties of the spaces H s (R). If s is a nonnegative integer, we define the semi-norm ( s∑ ∥ |v| Hs (R) = d l v ∥∥∥ 2 ∥dy l l=1 If s>0 is not an integer, we define |v| Hs (R) by m ∥ |v| 2 H s (R) = ∑ d l v ∥∥∥ 2 ∥dy l l=1 where m is the integer part of s.

LetV 1 be the weighted Sobolev space { V 1 = v ∈ L 2 (R + ), x ∂v } ∂x ∈ L2 (R + ) , (19) which is a Hilbert space with the norm ( ∥ ∥∥∥ ‖v‖ V 1 = ‖v‖ 2 L 2 (R + +) x ∂v ∂x∥ 2 L 2 (R +) ) 1 2 . (20) It is proved in [AP05a] that D(R + ) is a dense subspace of V 1 , and that the following Poincaré inequality is true: for all v ∈ V 1 , ‖v‖ L2 (R +) ≤ 2 ∥ x dv ∥ . (21) dx ∥ L2 (R +) Thus the semi-norm |·| V 1: |v| V 1 = ‖x dv dx ‖ L 2 (R +) is a norm equivalent to ‖·‖ V 1. For a function v defined on R + , call ṽ the function defined on R by ( y ) ṽ(y) =v(exp(y)) exp . (22) 2 By using the change of variable y =log(x), it can be seen that the mapping v ↦→ ṽ is a topological isomorphism from L 2 (R + )ontoL 2 (R), and from V 1 onto H 1 (R). This leads to defining the space V s ,fors ∈ R, by:

Using the interpolation theorem given, e.g., in [Ada75, Theorem 7.17], one can prove that if 0 0, we introduce the semi-norm |v| V s = |ṽ| Hs (R). Proposition 1.

Let ψ be a measurable, non-negative and essentially bounded function defined on R, andα be a real number, 0 ≤ α 0in afixedneighborhoodofz = 0. This assumption is a little restrictive, since, for example, a logarithmic singularity of k will be ruled out. Most of the results below hold without the last assumption on ψ. Proposition 2. Assume that z ↦→ ψ(z)max ( e 2z , 1 ) is a bounded function. If α =0assume, furthermore, that ∫ −1 ψ(z) −∞ |z| dz < +∞. Then, for each s ∈ R, (i) if α> 1 2 , then the operator B is continuous from V s to V s−2α , (ii) if α< 1 2 , then the operator B is continuous from V s to V s−1 , (iii) if α = 1 2 , then the operator B is continuous from V s to V s−1−ε , for any ε>0. Remark 2. As a consequence of Proposition 2, if 1 2
