[ $L^p$ ] NORM INEQUALITIES FOR AREA FUNCTIONS WITH APPROACH REGIONS

In this paper we first introduce a space of homogeneous type X, and then consider a kind of generalized upper half-space $X{\times}(0,\;\infty)$. We are mainly considered with inequalities for the $L^p$ norms of area functions associated with approach regions in $X{\times}(0,\;\infty)$.
