In 1955, Calder´

integrals TΩwith variable kernel. They found that these operators connect closely with the

problem about the second-order linear elliptic equations with variable coefficients. In 2002,
Tang and Yang 2gave Lpboundedness of the singular integrals with variable kernels

integral operator µΩwith convolution kernel, that is Ωx, zΩz, was first defined and
studied by Stein 3in 1958. See also 4–6for some further works on µΩwith convolution
kernel. Recently, Xue and Yabuta 7studied the L2boundedness of the operator µΦ

Our main results are as follows.

Furthermore, our result can be extended to the Littlewood-Paley type operators µΦ
Ω,α,S
and µ∗,Φ
Ω,α,λ with variable kernels and index α≥0, which relate to the Lusin area integral and
the Littlewood-Paley g∗
λfunction, respectively. Let FΦ

operators µΦ

have the following conclusion.
Theorem 1.4. Under the assumption of Theorem 1.2,thenTheorem 1.2 still holds for µΦ
Ω,α,S and
µ∗,Φ
Ω,α,λ.
By Theorems 1.2 and 1.3 and applying the interpolation theorem of sublinear operator,
we obtain the Lp
α−Lpboundedness of µΦ
Ω,α.

Remark 1.6. It is obvious that the conclusions of Theorem 1.2 are the substantial improve-
ments and extensions of Stein’s results in 3about the Marcinkiewicz integral µΩwith
convolution kernel, and of Ding’s results in 8about the Marcinkiewicz integral µΩwith
variable kernels.
Remark 1.7. Recently, the authors in 9proved the boundedness of hypersingular
Marcinkiewicz integral with variable kernels on homogeneous Sobolev space Lp
αRnfor
1<p≤2and0<α<1 without any smoothness on Ω.SoCorollary 1.5 extended the results
in 9,Theorem5.
Throughout this paper, the letter Calways remains to denote a positive constant not
necessarily the same at each occurrence.
2. The Bounedness on Sobolev Spaces
Before giving the definition of the Sobolev space, let us first recall the Triebel-Lizorkin space.
Fix a radial function ϕx∈C∞satisfying suppϕ⊆{x:1/2<|x|≤2}and 0 ≤
ϕx≤1, and ϕx>c>0if3/5≤|x|≤5/3. Let ϕjxϕ2jx.Definethefunctionψjxby
