Abstract. The purpose of this article is to establish the molecular decompo- sition of the homogeneous Besov-Morrey spaces associated with the Hermite 2 n operator H = −∆ + |x| on the Euclidean space R . Particularly, we obtain some estimates for the operator H on the Hermite-Besov-Morrey spaces and the regularity results to the fractional Hermite equations (−∆ + |x|2)su = f, and (−∆ + |x|2 + I)su = f. Our results generalize some results by Anh and Thinh [1].
1. Introduction In this article, we study the Besov-Morrey spaces associated with the Hermite operator H = −∆ + |x|2 on Rn, n ≥ 1. It is known that the classical theory of the Besov and Triebel-Lizorkin spaces plays a crucial role not only in the theory of function spaces, but also in the theory of partial differential equations and harmonic analysis, see e.g. [7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15], and the references therein. Recently, the theory of the Besov and Triebel-Lizorkin spaces associated with the operators has been developed by many authors when one observed that the classical Besov and Triebel-Lizorkin spaces are not always the most suitable to investigate a number of operators, see [1, 2, 3, 4, 18, 10, 11, 19], and their references. For example, Petrusev and Xu [13] studied the characterization of the inhomogeneous Besov and Triebel-Lizorkin spaces in terms of Littlewood-Paley decomposition in the context of Hermite expansions that the frame elements have almost exponential localization. Note that these frame elements can be viewed as an analogue of the ϕ-transform of Frazier and Jawerth [7]. Another approach introduced by Anh and Thinh [1] is of defining the Besov and Triebel-Lizorkin spaces in terms of the heat kernels via square functions. Their approach adapted to the study of the theory of both homogeneous and inhomogeneous Besov and Triebel-Lizorkin spaces. This allows them to extend the range of indices 1 ≤ p, q ≤ ∞ of the homogeneous Besov

α,H α,H space BMp,q (resp. Triebel-Lizorkin spaces FMp,q ) to 0 < p, q ≤ ∞, compare to the results in [8]. One of the most interesting studies of the theory of Besov spaces is the Besov- Morrey spaces, introduced first by Kozono and Yamazaki [9] to investigate time- local solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations with the initial data in the spaces of this type. As a matter of fact, the Besov-Morrey spaces share several features of Besov and Morrey spaces. They represent the local oscillations and singularities of functions more precisely than the classical Besov spaces. Thus, they behav better in many aspects, particularly under the action of singular integrals and pseudo- differential operators. In addition, Mazzucato [11, 12] established the wavelet de- compositions to characterize the homogeneous and inhomogeneous Besov-Morrey spaces. For more results on the Besov-Morrey spaces, we refer the reader to [9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15, 17, 19] and the references therein. Inspired by the above results, we would like to generalize the theory of the α,H homogeneous Besov spaces associated with the Hermite operator BMp,q to the one of the homogeneous Besov-Morrey spaces associated with the Hermite operator α,H α,H BMp,q,r in this paper. To study BMp,q,r, we use the results in [1], specifically, the estimates on the heat kernels via the square functions. Beside, we also establish the α,H molecular decompositions for BMp,q,r. As applications, we obtain the regularity of solutions to the fractional Hermite equations:
s H u = f, and s (H + I) u = f. We organize this paper as follows: Section 2 contains some preliminary results and definitions of functional spaces. Section 3 is devoted to the study of the molec- ular decomposition for the Hermite-Besov-Morrey space. Finally, we investigate the regularity of solutions on Hermite-Besov-Morrey spaces to the fractional Hermite equations in Section 4. Throughout this paper, we always use C and c to denote positive constants that are independent of the main parameters involved but whose values may differ from line to line. We write A . B if there is a universal constant C such that A ≤ CB; and A ∼ B if A . B and B . A. We use the following notation: N = {0, 1, 2,... }, − − N+ = {1, 2, 3,... }, Z = {−1, −2,... }, Z0 = {0, −1, −2,... } a ∧ b = min{a, b}, a ∨ b = max{a, b}, and int[a] is the integer part of a.
2. Preliminaries 2.1. Dyadic cube. The set of all dyadic cubes D in Rn is defined by n Y k k D = [mj2 , (mj + 1)2 ): m1, m2, . . . , mn, k ∈ Z . j=1
Qn h k k For a dyadic cube Q := j=1 mj2 , (mj + 1)2 , for some m1, m2, . . . , mn, k ∈ Z we denote by `(Q) and xQ the length and the center of the dyadic cube Q. In this k kn case, `(Q) = 2 and xQ = (mj + 1/2)2 j=1. Moreover, for every ν ∈ Z, we set ν Dν = {Q ∈ D : `(Q) = 2 }. EJDE-2018/187 BESOV-MORREY SPACES 3
2.2. Morrey space. Let us first recall the definition of the Morrey spaces.
r Definition 2.1. For every 0 < p ≤ r < ∞, the Morrey space Mp is defined by
r p n n( 1 − 1 ) M ≡ f ∈ L ( ): kfk r = sup sup R r p kfk p < ∞ . p loc R Mp L (B(x0,R)) n x0∈R R>0 Next, we point out some known results about the Morrey norms. Proposition 2.2. Let 0 < p ≤ r < ∞. Then
1 − 1 kfk r ∼ sup |Q| r p kfk p , (2.1) Mp L (Q) Q∈D θ θ kf kMr = kfk rθ , ∀θ > 0, (2.2) p Mpθ Z b 1/q Z b 1/q q dt q dt |F (·, t)| r ≤ kF (·, t)k r , for 0 < q ≤ p. (2.3) M Mp a t p a t Proof. Note that (2.1) and (2.2) follow from the definition of the Morrey spaces. While, (2.3) can be obtained by using Minkowski integral inequality, see also [8, (2.20)].
For θ > 0, we denote by Mθ the Hardy-Littlewood maximal function Z 1/θ 1 θ n Mθf(x) = sup |f(y)| dy , x ∈ R , x∈B |B| B where the supremum is taken over all balls B ⊂ Rn containing x. Then, we have a version of the Fefferman-Stein vector-valued maximal inequality for the Morrey spaces, see [16, Proposition 2.1]. Proposition 2.3. Let 0 < q ≤ ∞, 0 < p ≤ r < ∞, and 0 < θ < min{p, q}. Then
1/q 1/q X q X q |Mθfk| r |fk| r . Mp . Mp k∈Z k∈Z Remark 2.4. As a consequence of Proposition 2.3, the Hardy-Littlewood maximal r operator Mθ is bounded on Mp. Next, we put 1−p/r 1/p 1 X 1−p/r p Av = sup |Q| |sQ| . J∈D,`(J) 2v |J| > Q∈Dv ,Q⊂J
We borrow a result of Wang [19, p.779] involving the characterization of Av in the Morrey norms.

X −1/r k |Q| |s |χ k r < ∞. Q Q Mp Q∈Dν Then X −1/r k |Q| |s |χ k r ∼ A . Q Q Mp ν Q∈Dv 4 N. A. DAO, N. N. TRONG, L. X. TRUONG EJDE-2018/187
2.3. Kernel estimates on Hermite operators. For any k ≥ 0 and for t > 0, we √ √ k −t denote the kernel associated with (t H) e H by pt,k(x, y). We recall here the results of [1, Lemma 2.1 and Propisition 2.2].
Proposition 2.6. For k ∈ N, there exist C > 0 and δ > 0 so that tk n (1) |pt,k(x, y)| ≤ C (t+|x−y|)n+k , for x, y ∈ R . (2) for any |h| < t, we have |h|δ tk |p (x + h, y) − p (x, y)| ≤ C , for x, y ∈ n. t,k t,k t (t + |x − y|)n+k R n Proposition 2.7. For every y ∈ R , we have pt,k(·, y) ∈ S. 2.4. Calder´onreproducing formulas. In this part we recall Calder´on’sformula from [1], that is useful for studying the homogeneous Besov-Morrey spaces.

3. Besov-Morrey Spaces associated with the Hermite operators It is convenient for us to introduce first the homogeneous Besov-Morrey spaces corresponding to the Hermite operator H. Definition 3.1. Let α ∈ R, 0 < p, q ≤ ∞, p ≤ r ≤ ∞, and for every positive 1 integer m > n + max{α, 0} + int[n( − 1)] + 1, with θ0 = min{1, p, q}. Then, we θ0 α,H,m define the homogeneous Hermite-Besov-Morrey space BMp,q,r as follows n Z ∞ √ √ q dt1/q α,H,m 0 −α m −t H BM := f ∈ S : kfk α,H,m = t k(t ) e fkMr p,q,r BMp,q,r H p 0 t o < ∞ .
α,H,m α,H,m Remark 3.2. If r = p, then the space BMp,q,r is exactly the space BMp,q in [1].
α,H,m We will show that BMp,q,r is independent of the choice of m when m is large enough. Precisely, we have the following result.
Theorem 3.3. Let α ∈ R, 0 < p, q ≤ ∞, and p ≤ r ≤ ∞. Let m1, m2 be the positive integers such that 1 m1, m2 > n + max{α, 0} + int[n( − 1)] + 1, θ0 α,H,m1 α,H,m2 with θ0 = min{1, p, q}. Then, the spaces BMp,q,r and BMp,q,r coincide with equivalent norms.
α,H As a consequence of Theorem 3.3, we can define the Besov space BMp,q,r as any space BMα,H,m, for any positive integer m > n + max{α, 0} + int[n( 1 − 1)] + 1. p,q,r θ0 We now recall the definition of the molecules associated with the Hermite oper- ator in [1]. EJDE-2018/187 BESOV-MORREY SPACES 5
Definition 3.4. Let 0 < r ≤ ∞, α ∈ R, and N,M ∈ N+. A function u is said√ to M be an (H, M, N, α, r) molecule if there exist√ a function b from the domain ( H) and a dyadic cube Q ∈ D so that (i) u = ( H)M b, and (ii) √ |x − x |−n−N |( )kb(x)| ≤ `(Q)M−k|Q|α/n−1/r 1 + Q , for k = 0,..., 2M. H `(Q)
Briefly, we denote u = mQ, for every dyadic cube Q ∈ D. Next, we have some elementary estimates.
n Lemma 3.5. Let N ∈ N+ and a > t > 0. For any x, z ∈ R , Z −n−N −n−N −n−N |x − y| |z − y| n |x − z| 1 + 1 + dy . t 1 + . n t a t R For a proof of the above lemma, we refer to [1, Lemma 3.6]. Next, we have a α,H,m result of the molecular decomposition for BMp,q,r .
Theorem 3.6. Let α ∈ R, 0 < p, q ≤ ∞, p ≤ r ≤ ∞, and θ0 = min{1, p, q}. 1 (i) For every M,N ∈ + and m > n + max{α, 0} + int[n( − 1)] + 1, if f ∈ N θ0 α,H,m BMp,q,r , then there exist a sequence of (H, M, N, α, r) molecules {mQ}Q∈Dv ,v∈Z and a sequence of coefficients {sQ}Q∈Dv ,v∈Z so that X X 0 f = sQmQ, in S . v∈Z Q∈Dv Moreover, 1/q X q A kfk α,H,m .

BMp,q,r v∈Z (ii) Conversely, if X X 0 f = sQmQ, in S , v∈Z Q∈Dv where {mQ}Q∈Dv ,v∈Z is a sequence of (H, M, N, α, r) molecules and {sQ}Q∈Dv ,v∈Z 1/q is a sequence of coefficients satisfying P Aq < ∞, then f ∈ BMα,H,m, and v∈Z v p,q,r 1/q X q kfk α,H,m A , (3.2) BMp,q,r . v v∈Z n n provided that N,M ∈ + such that < θ0, M > max{ − α, m}, with m > N n+N θ0 max{α, 0} + N + n.
α,H,m Proof of part (i). For every f ∈ BMp,q,r , it follows from Proposition 2.8 that Z ∞ √ √ √ √ M+N −t m −t dt 0 f = cm,M,N (t H) e H(t H) e Hf , in S , 0 t 1 with cm,M,N = − 2m+M+N−1(m+M+N−1)! . Thus, Z 2v+1 √ √ √ √ X M+N −t m −t dt f = cm,M,N (t H) e H(t H) e Hf 2v t v∈Z Z 2v+1 √ √ √ √ X X M+N −t m −t dt = cm,M,N (t H) e H[(t H) e Hf.χQ] . 2v t v∈Z Q∈Dv 6 N. A. DAO, N. N. TRONG, L. X. TRUONG EJDE-2018/187
For any v ∈ Z and Q ∈ Dv, we set √ √ −v(α−n/r) m −t sQ = 2 sup |(t H) e Hf(y)|, (3.3) (y,t)∈Q×[2v ,2v+1)
M/2 and mQ = H bQ, with

X X 0 f = sQmQ, in S . v∈Z Q∈Dv
Thus, it remains to show that mQ is an (H, M, N, α, r) molecule. Indeed, for k = 0,..., 2M, and for any x ∈ Rn, from Proposition 2.6 we have
Z 2v+1 √ √ √ √ k/2 1 M−k N+k −t m −t dt |H bQ(x)| = t (t H) e H[(t H) e Hf.χQ] sQ 2v t Z 2v+1 Z √ √ 1 M−k m −t dt ≤ t |pt,N+k(x, y)| (t H) e Hf(y) dy s v t Q 2 Q (3.4) √ √ 1 m −t . sup (t H) e Hf(z) sQ (z,t)∈Q×[2v ,2v+1) Z 2v+1 Z N M−k t dt × t n+N dy . 2v Q (t + |x − y|) t On the other hand, it is not difficult to verify that

We observe that w(x, t) ≡ Hm/2e−t Hf(x) is a solution of the equation 2 −(∆x,t + |x| )w = 0, with ∆x,tw = wtt + ∆w. So, w is a subharmonic function. Thanks to [5, Lemma 5.2], for every θ ∈ (0, ∞) we obtain
√ Z √ 1/θ m/2 −t 1 m/2 −t θ sup |H e Hf(y)| . |H e Hf(y)| dydt , 3 (y,t)∈Qe |Qe| 2 Qe where Qe = Q × [2v, 2v+1) is a cube in Rn+1. EJDE-2018/187 BESOV-MORREY SPACES 7
Note that |Qe| ∼ 2v|Q| and t ∼ 2v, for any (y, t) ∈ Qe. Hence, it follows from the last inequality that 9 v+1 √ √ Z 8 2 Z √ √ 1/θ m −t 1 m −t θ dt sup |(t H) e Hf(y)| . |(t H) e Hf(y)| dy |Q| 3 v 3 t (y,t)∈Qe 4 2 2 Q 9 v+1 Z 8 2 √ √ 1/θ m −t θ dt .
