Abstract

In this paper, we establish the $L^p$ estimates for the maximal functions associated with the multilinear pseudo-differential operators. Our main result is Theorem 1.2. There are several major different ingredients and extra difficulties in our proof from those in Grafakos, Honzík and Seeger ^[15] and Honzík ^[22] for maximal functions generated by multipliers. First, in order to eliminate the variable $x$ in the symbols, we adapt a non-smooth modification of the smooth localization method developed by Muscalu in ^[26,30]. Then, by applying the inhomogeneous Littlewood-Paley dyadic decomposition and a discretization procedure, we can reduce the proof of Theorem 1.2 into proving the localized estimates for localized maximal functions generated by discrete paraproducts. The non-smooth cut-off functions in the localization procedure will be essential in establishing localized estimates. Finally, by proving a key localized square function estimate (Lemma 4.3) and applying the good-$\lambda$ inequality, we can derive the desired localized estimates.
