Let

m and
denote the unit sphere in
equipped with the normalized Lebesgue surface measure
. Let
h be a measurable function on
and ℧ be a function of homogeneous degree zero on
enjoying the properties that

on the symmetric space

is the classical Marcinkiewicz integral operator which was introduced by Stein in [
1] in which he proved the
boundedness of

whenever
with
. Subsequently, the boundedness of
was investigated by many researchers. For instance, it was shown in [
2] that if ℧ lies in the space
, then
is bounded on
for all
. This result was improved by Walsh in [
3]. In fact, he confirmed the
boundedness of
provided that
. Moreover, he established that the condition
is optimal in the sense that there is an
for all
such that
is not bounded on
. Later on, the authors of [
4] established the
boundedness of
for all
under the assumption ℧ belongs to the block space
with
. Furthermore, they found that the condition ℧ in
is optimal in the sense that
will not be bounded on
if
for any
.
On the other side, the parametric Marcinkiewicz operator was firstly studied by Hörmander in [
5]. Actually, he emphasized the
boundedness of
for any
if
,
and
with
. Thereafter, the discussion of the
boundedness of
under diverse conditions on ℧,
and
h has received much attention from many mathematicians. For a sampling of the past studies of these operators, see [

14] and the references therein.
Recently, the study of generalized parametric Marcinkiewicz integrals
has begun. Historically, the operator
was introduced in [
15] in which the authors proved that if
,
for some
,
, and
, then for all
,
However, this result was improved by Le in [
16]. In fact, he confirmed that Equation (
3) holds under the same above assumptions but with replacing
by a weaker assumption
, where
(
) is the class of all functions
which are measurable and satisfying
Very recently, Al-Qassem improved and extended the above results in [
17]. As a matter of fact, he showed that if

, then
is bounded on
for all
with
and also for all
with
. Moreover, under the same assumptions on ℧ and
, but replacing the condition
by a very weaker condition
with
, he proved the
boundedness of
for all
. For the significance and recent advances on the study of such operators, readers may consult [
17,

21] among others.
Let us recall some classes we shall use in this work. For

It is known that for any and .
Let us recall the definition of the Triebel–Lizorkin spaces. For

In this work, we let I be the class of all nonnegative functions that satisfy the following conditions:

- (2)

- (3)

Additionally, we let D be the set of all nonnegative functions that satisfy the following conditions:
- (1)

- (3)

We point out that the classes

It is worth mentioning that whenever

was proved in [
14] only for the case
. In view of the result in [
14] and of the result in [
17], a natural question arises. Does the boundedness of
hold under the same conditions assumed in [
14] but with replacing the condition
by a weaker condition
?
The motivation of this work is to answer the above question in the affirmative. Precisely, we will improve and extend the results in [
1,
2,
3,
4,
5,
7,
14] which are just special cases of our results. Furthermore, we will generalize what were established in [
15,
16,
17]. To achieve this, we need to prove the following theorems.
Theorem 1. Let ℧ satisfy the condition Equation (2) and belong to for some . Suppose that h belongs to for some and ψ lies inIorD. Then for any , there is a constant (independent of ℧, ψ, h, κ, β, and q) such that Theorem 2. Let ψ and ℧ be given as in the above Theorem, and for some . Then there exists a constant satisfiesfor if and , andfor if and . Here and in what follows, the letter C refers to a positive constant whose value may vary at each appearance, but independent of the fundamental variables.
This paper is organised as follows: In
Section 2, some auxiliary lemmas are proved. In
Section 3, the proofs of Theorems 1 and 2 are presented. Finally, some consequences of Theorems 1 and 2 are given is

2. Preliminary Lemmas
In this section, some auxiliary lemmas will be given. Let us begin by introducing some necessary notations. Let

and its corresponding maximal integrals
and
on
by
and
Here, we define in the same way as , but with replacing by .
The following two lemmas will play a substantial role in the proof of our main results. They can be obtained by following similar procedures (with only minor changes) used in [
14], Lemmas 2.7–2.8].
Lemma 1. Let , and for some . Assume that ψ belongs toD or I. Then there are constants C and ε with such that for all ,where is the total variation of . Lemma 2. Let ν, ψ and h be given as in Lemma 1. Assume that for some . Then there exists a constant such thatfor all with , andfor all with . By employing analogous arguments that utilized in [
17], we obtain the following:
Lemma 3. Let and for some . Let and ψ be given as in Lemma 1. Then a positive constant exists such that for arbitrary functions on , we havefor all , andfor all . Proof. Let us start with the inequality Equation (
13). Consider the case
. By using Hölder’s inequality and then Equation (
10), we obtain
Thus, when we take the
root to the both sides, Equation (
13) is satisfied for the case
. Now consider the case
. By duality, there is a non-negative function
with
such that
It is clear that Hölder’s inequality leads to
Hence, by a simple change of variables and applying Hölder’s inequality on Equation (
16), we deduce
where
. Consequently, Equation (
13) holds for all
. Finally, we consider the case
. This gives that
and, hence, by the duality, there are functions
defined on
such that
and
For simplicity, let
be given by
Again, by the duality we deduce that there exists a function
which belongs to the space
with norm 1 and satisfies
Hence, Hölder’s inequality together with Equation (
17) give
hold for all
. Consequently, the proof of this lemma is complete. □
In the same manner, we obtain the following:
Lemma 4. Let ℧, ψ, ν, and κ be given as in Lemma 3. Assume that for some . Then there exists a constant such that
where is a set of functions on . Proof. Firstly, we consider the case
with
. By following the same above arguments, we obtain by the duality that there are functions
defined on
with
and satisfy
where
Since
, then Hölder’s inequality gives
Again, since
, we obtain that there exists a function
belonging to
such that
Thus, by Hölder’s inequality, a simple change of variables plus the inequalities Equations (
11) and (
22), we conclude
Therefore, by Equations (
21) and (
23), we attain Equation (
19) for any
with
.
Now, let us consider the case
with
. By Equation (
12), we have
for all
with
. This gives that
Again, by duality, there exists
such that
and
where
. By using the following linear operator
which is defined on any function
by
, we can interpolate Equations (
25) and (
26) to obtain
for all
with
. The proof of Lemma 4 is complete. □
