Зокрема, наведено опис у термiнах \langle z, \zeta \rangle m, з якого безпосередньо випливають необхiднi та достатнi умови компактностi. Крiм того, охарактеризовано обмеженiсть цих операторiв. 1. Introduction. Let \BbbC N denote the Euclidean space of complex dimension N(N \geq 1). For z = (z1, . . . , zN ) and w = (w1, . . . , wN ) in \BbbC N , \langle z, w\rangle = \sum N j=1 zjwj and | z| = \sqrt{} \langle z, z\rangle . \BbbB is the open unit ball of \BbbC N with boundary \partial \BbbB . H(\BbbB ) and S(\BbbB ) represent the class of holomorphic functions and analytic self-maps on \BbbB , respectively. For \varphi ,\psi \in S(\BbbB ), the difference of composition operator associated to \varphi and \psi is defined by (C\varphi - C\psi )f = f \circ \varphi - f \circ \psi for all f \in H(\BbbB ). For 0 < \alpha <\infty , let H\infty \alpha be the weighted-type space of holomorphic functions f on \BbbB satisfying \| f\| \alpha = \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} z\in \BbbB (1 - | z| 2)\alpha | f(z)| <\infty . With the norm \| f\| H\infty \alpha = | f(0)| + \| f\| \alpha , the weighted-type space becomes a Banach space. For any point a \in \BbbB - \{ 0\} , the involutive automorphism \Phi a is defined by \Phi a(z) = a - Pa(z) - saQa(z) 1 - \langle z, a\rangle , z \in \BbbB , where sa = \sqrt{} 1 - | a| 2, and Pa(z) = \langle z, a\rangle | a| 2 a is the orthogonal projection from \BbbC N onto the one dimensional subspace [a] generated by a, Qa(z) = z - Pa(z). When a = 0,\Phi a(z) = - z. It is well-known that \Phi a interchanges the points 0 and a, that is, \Phi a(0) = a,\Phi a(a) = 0. For z, w \in \BbbB , the pseudohyperbolic distance between z and w is defined by \rho (z, w) = | \Phi w(z)| . For the simplicity, we write \rho (z) = \rho (\varphi (z), \psi (z)). Let X and Y be Banach spaces and T : X \rightarrow Y be a bounded linear operator. The essential norm of T is the distance form T to the sets of compact operators, that is, \| T\| e,X\rightarrow Y = \mathrm{i}\mathrm{n}\mathrm{f}\{ \| T - K\| X\rightarrow Y : K is compact from X to Y \} . Notice that \| T\| e = 0 if and only if the operator T is compact, so the * This research was supported by the Research Project of Humanities and Social Sciences of Tianjin Municipal Education Commission (Grant No. 2020SK102). c\bigcirc C. CHEN, 2021 ISSN 1027-3190. Укр. мат. журн., 2021, т. 73, № 8 1129 1130 C. CHEN estimate on \| T\| e will lead to a condition for the operator T to be compact. For the results in this topic, we refer the interested readers to the recent papers such as [1, 2, 9, 15, 17]. In 2009, Wulan et al. [18] (Theorem 2) obtained a new result about the compactness of compo- sition operator on the classical Bloch space in the unit disk in terms of the sequence \{ zn\} \infty n=1. After that, Ruhan Zhao [19] (Corollary 4.4) showed that \| C\varphi \| e,\scrB \alpha \rightarrow \scrB \beta \asymp \mathrm{l}\mathrm{i}\mathrm{m} \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p}n\rightarrow \infty n\alpha - 1\| C\varphi zn\| \beta for 0 < \alpha , \beta < \infty . So, C\varphi : \scrB \alpha \rightarrow \scrB \beta is compact if and only if \mathrm{l}\mathrm{i}\mathrm{m} \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p}n\rightarrow \infty n\alpha - 1\| C\varphi zn\| \beta = 0. Subsequently to this, strong interest has arisen to describe some properties of composition operator on Bloch-type spaces. For the results in the unit disk, one can refer to [4, 10, 13, 14, 18]. Then some mathematicians have contributed to development of this new characterizations in the unit ball and polydisk for some operators (see, e.g., [3, 5 – 8] and their references therein). In papers [11, 12, 16], on the unit disk, such new descriptions for differences of classical linear operators was obtained. But as far as we all known, there has no such characterizations for differences of any classical linear operators in the unit ball, so these problems are in desired need of response. In this paper, we pay our attention to start with the investigations for the differences of composition operators acting form \alpha -weighted-type space to \beta -weighted-type space. This paper is organized as follows. The boundedness of C\varphi - C\psi : H\infty \alpha \rightarrow H\infty \beta is exhibited in Section 2 and then its essential norm is estimated in Section 3. In summary, this paper has systematic exposition of equivalent conditions for the differences of composition operators from H\infty \alpha to H\infty \beta . Throughout this paper, we will use the symbol C to denote a finite positive number, and it may differ from one occurrence to the other. For two positive quantities A and B, the notations A \preceq B, A \succeq B and A \asymp B mean that A \leq CB, A \geq CB and A/C \leq B \leq CA for some positive numbers C, respectively. Besides, \BbbN denotes the set of all positive integers. 2. Boundedness of \bfitC \bfitvarphi - \bfitC \bfitpsi : \bfitH \infty \bfitalpha \rightarrow \bfitH \infty \bfitbeta . In this section, we give the characterization for the boundedness of the operator C\varphi - C\psi : H\infty \alpha \rightarrow H\infty \beta . For any a \in \BbbB , we define the following families test functions: fa(z) = (1 - | a| 2)\alpha (1 - \langle z, a\rangle )2\alpha and g\varphi (a)(z) = (1 - | \varphi (a)| 2)\alpha (1 - \langle z, \varphi (a)\rangle )2\alpha \langle \Phi \varphi (a)(z),\Phi \varphi (a)(\psi (a))\rangle | \Phi \varphi (a)(\psi (a))| , g\psi (a)(z) = (1 - | \psi (a)| 2)\alpha (1 - \langle z, \psi (a)\rangle )2\alpha \langle \Phi \psi (a)(z),\Phi \psi (a)(\varphi (a))\rangle | \Phi \psi (a)(\varphi (a))| . It is easy to prove that \| g\varphi (a)\| H\infty \alpha \asymp \| g\psi (a)\| H\infty \alpha \preceq \| fa\| H\infty \alpha = 1. For the sake of convenience, we use the notation as below \scrT \beta \alpha \varphi (z) = (1 - | z| 2)\beta (1 - | \varphi (z)| 2)\alpha . The main result in this section is the following theorem.

Then the following statements are equivalent: (i) C\varphi - C\psi : H\infty \alpha \rightarrow H\infty \beta is bounded, (ii1) \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} z\in \BbbB \scrT \beta \alpha \varphi (z)\rho (z) + \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} z\in \BbbB \bigm| \bigm| \bigm| \scrT \beta \alpha \varphi (z) - \scrT \beta \alpha \psi (z) \bigm| \bigm| \bigm| <\infty , (ii2) \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} z\in \BbbB \scrT \beta \alpha \psi (z)\rho (z) + \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} z\in \BbbB \bigm| \bigm| \bigm| \scrT \beta \alpha \varphi (z) - \scrT \beta \alpha \psi (z) \bigm| \bigm| \bigm| <\infty , (iii) \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} a\in \BbbB \| (C\varphi - C\psi )fa\| H\infty \beta + \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} a\in \BbbB \mathrm{m}\mathrm{a}\mathrm{x} \Bigl\{ \| (C\varphi - C\psi )g\varphi (a)\| H\infty \beta , (C\varphi - C\psi )g\psi (a)\| H\infty \beta \Bigr\} <\infty , (iv) \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} m\in \BbbN \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} \zeta \in \partial \BbbB m\alpha \| (C\varphi - C\psi )\langle \cdot , \zeta \rangle m\| H\infty \beta <\infty . In order to prove this result, we need some lemmas. For the first one, it was originally proved in [19, 20]. Lemma 2.1. Let 0 < \alpha < \infty , m \in \BbbN and 0 \leq x \leq 1. Set rm = \Bigl( m - 1 m - 1 + 2\alpha \Bigr) 1/2 for m \geq 2 and rm = 0 for m = 1. Then Hm,\alpha (x) = xm - 1(1 - x2)\alpha has the following properties: (i) \mathrm{m}\mathrm{a}\mathrm{x} 0\leq x\leq 1 Hm,\alpha (x) = Hm,\alpha (rm) = \left\{ 1, m = 1,\biggl( m - 1 m - 1 + 2\alpha \biggr) (m - 1)/2\biggl( 2\alpha m - 1 + 2\alpha \biggr) \alpha , m \geq 2, and \mathrm{l}\mathrm{i}\mathrm{m}m\rightarrow \infty m\alpha \mathrm{m}\mathrm{a}\mathrm{x}0\leq x\leq 1Hm,\alpha (x) = \biggl( 2\alpha e \biggr) \alpha , (ii) for m \geq 1, Hm,\alpha is increasing on [0, rm] and decreasing on [rm, 1], (iii) for m \geq 1, Hm,\alpha is decreasing on [rm, rm+1], and \mathrm{m}\mathrm{i}\mathrm{n} x\in [rm,rm+1] Hm,\alpha (x) = Hm,\alpha (rm+1) = \biggl( m m+ 2\alpha \biggr) (m - 1)/2\biggl( 2\alpha m+ 2\alpha \biggr) \alpha . Consequently, \mathrm{l}\mathrm{i}\mathrm{m} m\rightarrow \infty m\alpha \mathrm{m}\mathrm{i}\mathrm{n} x\in [rm,rm+1] Hm,\alpha (x) = \biggl( 2\alpha e \biggr) \alpha . Lemma 2.2. Let 0 < \alpha <\infty ,m \in \BbbN . Then, for each \zeta \in \partial \BbbB , we have \mathrm{l}\mathrm{i}\mathrm{m} m\rightarrow \infty m\alpha \| \langle \cdot , \zeta \rangle m\| H\infty \alpha = \biggl( 2\alpha e \biggr) \alpha . (2.1) Proof. For any \zeta \in \partial \BbbB , \| \langle \cdot , \zeta \rangle m\| H\infty \alpha = \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} z\in \BbbB (1 - | z| 2)\alpha | \langle z, \zeta \rangle m| \leq \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} z\in \BbbB (1 - | z| 2)\alpha | z| m = \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} 0\leq r\leq 1 (1 - r2)\alpha rm, and, on the other hand, \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} z\in \BbbB (1 - | z| 2)\alpha | \langle z, \zeta \rangle | m \geq \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} 0\leq r\leq 1 (1 - | r\zeta | 2)\alpha | \langle r\zeta , \zeta \rangle | m = \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} 0\leq r\leq 1 (1 - r2)\alpha rm. Thus, m\alpha \| \langle \cdot , \zeta \rangle m\| H\infty \alpha = m\alpha \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} 0\leq r\leq 1 (1 - r2)\alpha rm = = \biggl( m m+ 1 \biggr) \alpha (m+ 1)\alpha \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} 0\leq r\leq 1 (1 - r2)\alpha rm.

For the proof, see the original source [6]. Lemma 2.3. Let f \in H\infty \alpha . Then | (1 - | z| 2)\alpha f(z) - (1 - | w| 2)\alpha f(w)| \leq C\| f\| H\infty \alpha \rho (z, w) for all z, w \in \BbbB . Lemma 2.4. Let 0 < \alpha , \beta <\infty , \varphi , \psi \in S(\BbbB ). Then the following inequalities hold: (i) \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} z\in \BbbB \scrT \beta \alpha \varphi (z)\rho (z) \leq \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} a\in \BbbB \| (C\varphi - C\psi )fa\| H\infty \beta + \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} a\in \BbbB \| (C\varphi - C\psi )g\varphi (a)\| H\infty \beta , (ii) \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} z\in \BbbB \scrT \beta \alpha \psi (z)\rho (z) \leq \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} a\in \BbbB \| (C\varphi - C\psi )fa\| H\infty \beta + \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} a\in \BbbB \| (C\varphi - C\psi )g\psi (a)\| H\infty \beta , (iii) \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} z\in \BbbB \bigm| \bigm| \bigm| \scrT \beta \alpha \varphi (z) - \scrT \beta \alpha \psi (z) \bigm| \bigm| \bigm| \leq \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} a\in \BbbB \| (C\varphi - C\psi )fa\| H\infty \beta + \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} a\in \BbbB \| (C\varphi - C\psi )g\psi (a)\| H\infty \beta . Proof. For any a \in \BbbB , we have \| (C\varphi - C\psi )f\varphi (a)\| H\infty \beta = \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} z\in \BbbB (1 - | z| 2)\beta | f\varphi (a)(\varphi (z)) - f\varphi (a)(\psi (z))| \geq \geq (1 - | a| 2)\beta | f\varphi (a)(\varphi (a)) - f\varphi (a)(\psi (a))| \geq \geq \scrT \beta \alpha \varphi (a) - (1 - | \varphi (a)| 2)\alpha (1 - | \psi (a)| 2)\alpha | 1 - \langle \psi (a), \varphi (a)\rangle | 2\alpha \scrT \beta \alpha \psi (a) and \| (C\varphi - C\psi )g\varphi (a)\| H\infty \beta \geq (1 - | a| 2)\beta | g\varphi (a)(\varphi (a)) - g\varphi (a)(\psi (a))| = = (1 - | a| 2)\beta (1 - | \varphi (a)| 2)\alpha | 1 - \langle \psi (a), \varphi (a)\rangle | 2\alpha \rho (a) = = (1 - | \varphi (a)| 2)\alpha (1 - | \psi (a)| 2)\alpha | 1 - \langle \psi (a), \varphi (a)\rangle | 2\alpha \scrT \beta \alpha \psi (a)\rho (a). Thus, \scrT \beta \alpha \varphi (a)\rho (a) \leq \| (C\varphi - C\psi )f\varphi (a)\| H\infty \beta \rho (a) + \| (C\varphi - C\psi )g\varphi (a)\| H\infty \beta \leq \leq \| (C\varphi - C\psi )f\varphi (a)\| H\infty \beta + \| (C\varphi - C\psi )g\varphi (a)\| H\infty \beta , (2.2) where the last inequality follows from \rho (a) \leq 1. Analogously, we deduce that \scrT \beta \alpha \psi (a)\rho (a) \leq \| (C\varphi - C\psi )f\psi (a)\| H\infty \beta + \| (C\varphi - C\psi )g\psi (a)\| H\infty \beta . (2.3) Taking the supremum about a \in \BbbB in (2.2) and (2.3), we obtain (i) \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} a\in \BbbB \scrT \beta \alpha \varphi (a)\rho (a) \leq \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} a\in \BbbB \Bigl( \| (C\varphi - C\psi )f\varphi (a)\| H\infty \beta + \| (C\varphi - C\psi )g\varphi (a)\| H\infty \beta \Bigr) \leq \leq \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} a\in \BbbB \| (C\varphi - C\psi )fa\| H\infty \beta + \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} a\in \BbbB \| (C\varphi - C\psi )g\varphi (a)\| H\infty \beta ISSN 1027-3190.

On the other hand, by Lemma 2.3 we note that \| (C\varphi - C\psi )f\varphi (a)\| H\infty \beta \geq \geq (1 - | a| 2)\beta | f\varphi (a)(\varphi (a)) - f\varphi (a)(\psi (a))| = = (1 - | a| 2)\beta \bigm| \bigm| \bigm| 1 (1 - | \varphi (a)| 2)\alpha - (1 - | \varphi (a)| 2)\alpha (1 - \langle \psi (a), \varphi (a)\rangle )2\alpha \bigm| \bigm| \bigm| \geq \geq \bigm| \bigm| \bigm| \scrT \beta \alpha \varphi (a) - \scrT \beta \alpha \psi (a) \bigm| \bigm| \bigm| - \bigm| \bigm| \bigm| \scrT \beta \alpha \psi (a) - (1 - | a| 2)\beta (1 - | \varphi (a)| 2)\alpha (1 - \langle \psi (a), \varphi (a)\rangle )2\alpha \bigm| \bigm| \bigm| = = \bigm| \bigm| \bigm| \scrT \beta \alpha \varphi (a) - \scrT \beta \alpha \psi (a) \bigm| \bigm| \bigm| - - \scrT \beta \alpha \psi (a) \bigm| \bigm| \bigm| (1 - | \varphi (a)| 2)\alpha f\varphi (a)(\varphi (a)) - (1 - | \psi (a)| 2)\alpha f\varphi (a)(\psi (a)) \bigm| \bigm| \bigm| \succeq \succeq \bigm| \bigm| \bigm| \scrT \beta \alpha \varphi (a) - \scrT \beta \alpha \psi (a) \bigm| \bigm| \bigm| - \scrT \beta \alpha \psi (a)\rho (a). (2.4) So together with (ii), we arrive at (i) \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} a\in \BbbB \bigm| \bigm| \bigm| \scrT \beta \alpha \varphi (a) - \scrT \beta \alpha \psi (a) \bigm| \bigm| \bigm| \preceq \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} a\in \BbbB \Bigl( \| (C\varphi - C\psi )f\varphi (a)\| H\infty \beta + \scrT \beta \alpha \psi (a)\rho (a) \Bigr) \preceq \preceq \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} a\in \BbbB \| (C\varphi - C\psi )fa\| H\infty \beta + \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} a\in \BbbB \| (C\varphi - C\psi )g\psi (a)\| H\infty \beta . Lemma 2.4 is proved. Lemma 2.5. Let 0 < \alpha , \beta <\infty , \varphi , \psi \in S(\BbbB ). Then the following inequalities hold: (i) \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} a\in \BbbB \| (C\varphi - C\psi )fa\| H\infty \beta \preceq \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} m\in \BbbN \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} \zeta \in \partial \BbbB m\alpha \| (C\varphi - C\psi )\langle \cdot , \zeta \rangle m\| H\infty \beta , (ii) \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} a\in \BbbB \mathrm{m}\mathrm{a}\mathrm{x}\{ \| (C\varphi - C\psi )g\varphi (a)\| H\infty \beta , (C\varphi - C\psi )g\psi (a)\| H\infty \beta \} \preceq \preceq \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} m\in \BbbN \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} \zeta \in \partial \BbbB m\alpha \| (C\varphi - C\psi )\langle \cdot , \zeta \rangle m\| H\infty \beta . Proof. For \alpha > 0, recall that 1 (1 - \langle z, a\rangle )2\alpha = \infty \sum k=0 \Gamma (k + 2\alpha ) k!\Gamma (2\alpha ) \langle z, a\rangle k, then we express fa into Maclaurin expansion as follows: fa(z) = (1 - | a| 2)\alpha \infty \sum k=0 \Gamma (k + 2\alpha ) k!\Gamma (2\alpha ) \langle z, a\rangle k. If a = 0, fa(z) \equiv 1, (i) holds obvious. If a \not = 0, then \| (C\varphi - C\psi )fa\| H\infty \beta \leq ISSN 1027-3190. Укр. мат. журн., 2021, т. 73, № 8 1134 C.

(2.6) By Stirling’s formula, \Gamma (k + \alpha ) k!\Gamma (\alpha ) \asymp k\alpha - 1 as k \rightarrow \infty . It follows that \Gamma (k + 2\alpha ) k!\Gamma (2\alpha ) k - \alpha \asymp k\alpha - 1 as k \rightarrow \infty . Hence, \infty \sum k=0 \Gamma (k + 2\alpha ) k!\Gamma (2\alpha ) | a| kk - \alpha \asymp \infty \sum k=0 k\alpha - 1| a| k \asymp \infty \sum k=0 \Gamma (k + \alpha ) k!\Gamma (\alpha ) | a| k \asymp 1 (1 - | a| )\alpha , (2.7) which combine with (2.6), we conclude (i). Next, we prove the inequality (ii). When \varphi (a) = 0, g\varphi (a)(z) = \langle z, \psi (a)\rangle | \psi (a)| , then \| (C\varphi - C\psi )g\varphi (a)\| H\infty \beta = \bigm\| \bigm\| \bigm\| \bigm\| (C\varphi - C\psi ) \biggl\langle \cdot , \psi (a) | \psi (a)| \biggr\rangle \bigm\| \bigm\| \bigm\| \bigm\| H\infty \beta \leq \leq \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} \zeta \in \partial \BbbB \| (C\varphi - C\psi )\langle \cdot , \zeta \rangle \| H\infty \beta \leq \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} m\in \BbbN \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} \zeta \in \partial \BbbB m\alpha \| (C\varphi - C\psi )\langle \cdot , \zeta \rangle m\| H\infty \beta . For \varphi (a) \not = 0, g\varphi (a)(z) = (1 - | \varphi (a)| 2)\alpha (1 - \langle z, \varphi (a)\rangle )2\alpha \langle \Phi \varphi (a)(z) - \Phi \varphi (a)(\psi (a)) + \Phi \varphi (a)(\psi (a)),\Phi \varphi (a)(\psi (a))\rangle | \Phi \varphi (a)(\psi (a))| = = f\varphi (a)(z)\rho (a) + f\varphi (a)(z) \langle \Phi \varphi (a)(z) - \Phi \varphi (a)(\psi (a)),\Phi \varphi (a)(\psi (a))\rangle | \Phi \varphi (a)(\psi (a))| , thus, for any a \in \BbbB , we have \| (C\varphi - C\psi )g\varphi (a)\| H\infty \beta \leq \| (C\varphi - C\psi )f\varphi (a)\| H\infty \beta + 2\| (C\varphi - C\psi )f\varphi (a)\| H\infty \beta \preceq \preceq \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} m\in \BbbN \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} \zeta \in \partial \BbbB m\alpha \| (C\varphi - C\psi )\langle \cdot , \zeta \rangle m\| H\infty \beta . (2.8) Here we used the fact that \bigm| \bigm| \bigm| \bigm| \langle \Phi \varphi (a)(z) - \Phi \varphi (a)(\psi (a)),\Phi \varphi (a)(\psi (a))\rangle | \Phi \varphi (a)(\psi (a))| \bigm| \bigm| \bigm| \bigm| \leq 2. Similarly, the inequality \| (C\varphi - C\psi )g\psi (a)\| H\infty \beta \preceq \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} m\in \BbbN \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} \zeta \in \partial \BbbB m\alpha \| (C\varphi - C\psi )\langle \cdot , \zeta \rangle m\| H\infty \beta (2.9) ISSN 1027-3190. Укр. мат. журн., 2021, т. 73, № 8 NEW CHARACTERIZATIONS FOR DIFFERENCES OF COMPOSITION OPERATORS . . . 1135 can easily be obtained by the methods used in the proof of (2.8). Taking the supremum about a \in \BbbB in (2.8) and (2.9), (ii) comes ture. Lemma 2.5 is proved. Proof of Theorem 2.1. The implications (iv) \Rightarrow (iii) \Rightarrow (ii1) or (ii2) follow from Lemmas 2.4 and 2.5. We next prove (i)\Rightarrow (iv) and (ii)\Rightarrow (i). (i) \Rightarrow (iv). Suppose that C\varphi - C\psi : H\infty \alpha \rightarrow H\infty \beta is bounded. For any m \in \BbbN and \zeta \in \in \partial \BbbB , consider the function hm,\zeta (z) = \langle z, \zeta \rangle m \| \langle \cdot , \zeta \rangle m\| H\infty \alpha , then it is easy to see that hm,\zeta \in H\infty \alpha with \| hm,\zeta \| H\infty \alpha = 1. Note that from Lemma 2.2, there is a constant C > 0 independent of m and \zeta such that \| \langle \cdot , \zeta \rangle m\| H\infty \alpha \leq Cm - \alpha . Combining with the boundedness of C\varphi - C\psi : H\infty \alpha \rightarrow H\infty \beta , it follows that \infty > \| C\varphi - C\psi \| H\infty \alpha \rightarrow H\infty \beta \geq \| (C\varphi - C\psi )hm,\zeta \| H\infty \beta = \| (C\varphi - C\psi )(\langle \cdot , \zeta \rangle m)\| H\infty \beta \| \langle \cdot , \zeta \rangle m\| H\infty \alpha \succeq \succeq m\alpha \| (C\varphi - C\psi )(\langle \cdot , \zeta \rangle m)\| H\infty \beta , for any m \in \BbbN and \zeta \in \partial \BbbB . Which shows the statement (i) \Rightarrow (iv). (ii1) \Rightarrow (i). For any f \in H\infty \alpha , we employ Lemma 2.3 to show that \| (C\varphi - C\psi )f\| H\infty \beta = \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} z\in \BbbB (1 - | z| 2)\beta | f(\varphi (z)) - f(\psi (z))| \leq \leq \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} z\in \BbbB (1 - | z| 2)\beta (1 - | \varphi (z)| 2)\alpha \bigm| \bigm| (1 - | \varphi (z)| 2)\alpha f(\varphi (z)) - (1 - | \psi (z)| 2)\alpha f(\psi (z)) \bigm| \bigm| + + \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} z\in \BbbB \bigm| \bigm| \bigm| \bigm| (1 - | z| 2)\beta (1 - | \psi (z)| 2)\alpha f(\psi (z)) (1 - | \varphi (z)| 2)\alpha - (1 - | z| 2)\beta f(\psi (z)) \bigm| \bigm| \bigm| \bigm| \preceq \preceq \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} z\in \BbbB \scrT \beta \alpha \varphi (z)\rho (z) + \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} z\in \BbbB (1 - | \psi (z)| 2)\alpha | f(\psi (z))| \bigm| \bigm| \bigm| \scrT \beta \alpha \varphi (z) - \scrT \beta \alpha \psi (z) \bigm| \bigm| \bigm| \preceq \preceq \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} z\in \BbbB \scrT \beta \alpha \varphi (z)\rho (z) + \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} z\in \BbbB \bigm| \bigm| \bigm| \scrT \beta \alpha \varphi (z) - \scrT \beta \alpha \psi (z) \bigm| \bigm| \bigm| <\infty . (2.10) Thus, C\varphi - C\psi : H\infty \alpha \rightarrow H\infty \beta is bounded. Therefore, (i), (ii1), (iii), (iv) are equivalent. The equivalence of statements (i), (ii2), (iii), (iv) can be proved in a similar manner. Theorem 2.1 is proved. 3. Essential norm of \bfitC \bfitvarphi - \bfitC \bfitpsi : \bfitH \infty \bfitalpha \rightarrow \bfitH \infty \bfitbeta . In this section, we turn our attention to the estimations for essential norm of C\varphi - C\psi : H\infty \alpha \rightarrow H\infty \beta . The proof of the main assertion relies on the following two lemmas. Lemma 3.1. Let 0 < \alpha , \beta <\infty , \varphi , \psi \in S(\BbbB ). Then the following inequalities hold: (i) \mathrm{l}\mathrm{i}\mathrm{m} \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} | \varphi (z)| \rightarrow 1 \scrT \beta \alpha \varphi (z)\rho (z) \preceq \mathrm{l}\mathrm{i}\mathrm{m} \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} | a| \rightarrow 1 \| (C\varphi - C\psi )fa\| H\infty \beta + \mathrm{l}\mathrm{i}\mathrm{m} \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} | \varphi (a)| \rightarrow 1 \| (C\varphi - C\psi )g\varphi (a)\| H\infty \beta , (ii) \mathrm{l}\mathrm{i}\mathrm{m} \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} | \psi (z)| \rightarrow 1 \scrT \beta \alpha \psi (z)\rho (z) \preceq \mathrm{l}\mathrm{i}\mathrm{m} \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} | a| \rightarrow 1 \| (C\varphi - C\psi )fa\| H\infty \beta + \mathrm{l}\mathrm{i}\mathrm{m} \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} | \psi (a)| \rightarrow 1 \| (C\varphi - C\psi )g\psi (a)\| H\infty \beta , ISSN 1027-3190. Укр. мат. журн., 2021, т. 73, № 8 1136 C. CHEN (iii) \mathrm{l}\mathrm{i}\mathrm{m} \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} min\{ | \varphi (z)| ,| \psi (z)| \} \rightarrow 1 \bigm| \bigm| \bigm| \scrT \beta \alpha \varphi (z) - \scrT \beta \alpha \psi (z) \bigm| \bigm| \bigm| \preceq \preceq \mathrm{l}\mathrm{i}\mathrm{m} \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} | a| \rightarrow 1 \| (C\varphi - C\psi )fa\| H\infty \beta + \mathrm{l}\mathrm{i}\mathrm{m} \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} | \psi (a)| \rightarrow 1 \| (C\varphi - C\psi )g\psi (a)\| H\infty \beta . Proof. From the inequalities (2.2) – (2.4) the assertion follows easily. Lemma 3.2. Let 0 < \alpha , \beta < \infty , \varphi , \psi \in S(\BbbB ), C\varphi - C\psi : H\infty \alpha \rightarrow H\infty \beta is bounded. Then the following inequalities hold: (i) \mathrm{l}\mathrm{i}\mathrm{m} \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} | a| \rightarrow 1 \| (C\varphi - C\psi )fa\| H\infty \beta \preceq \mathrm{l}\mathrm{i}\mathrm{m} \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} m\rightarrow \infty \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} \zeta \in \partial \BbbB m\alpha \| (C\varphi - C\psi )\langle \cdot , \zeta \rangle m\| H\infty \beta , (ii) \mathrm{m}\mathrm{a}\mathrm{x}\{ \mathrm{l}\mathrm{i}\mathrm{m} \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} | \varphi (a)| \rightarrow 1 \| (C\varphi - C\psi )g\varphi (a)\| H\infty \beta , \mathrm{l}\mathrm{i}\mathrm{m} \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} | \psi (a)| \rightarrow 1 \| (C\varphi - C\psi )g\psi (a)\| H\infty \beta \} \preceq \preceq \mathrm{l}\mathrm{i}\mathrm{m} \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} m\rightarrow \infty \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} \zeta \in \partial \BbbB m\alpha \| (C\varphi - C\psi )\langle \cdot , \zeta \rangle m\| H\infty \beta . Proof. For any a \in \BbbB and each positive integer N, employing (2.5) we obtain \| (C\varphi - C\psi )fa\| H\infty \beta \leq (1 - | a| 2)\alpha \infty \sum k=0 \Gamma (k + 2\alpha ) k!\Gamma (2\alpha ) | a| k \bigm\| \bigm\| \bigm\| \bigm\| \bigm\| (C\varphi - C\psi ) \biggl\langle \cdot , a | a| \biggr\rangle k\bigm\| \bigm\| \bigm\| \bigm\| \bigm\| H\infty \beta \leq \leq (1 - | a| 2)\alpha N\sum k=0 \Gamma (k + 2\alpha ) k!\Gamma (2\alpha ) | a| k \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} \zeta \in \partial \BbbB \| (C\varphi - C\psi )\langle \cdot , \zeta \rangle k\| H\infty \beta + + (1 - | a| 2)\alpha \infty \sum k=N+1 \Gamma (k + 2\alpha ) k!\Gamma (2\alpha ) | a| kk - \alpha \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} m\geq N+1 \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} \zeta \in \partial \BbbB m\alpha \| (C\varphi - C\psi )\langle \cdot , \zeta \rangle m\| H\infty \beta \triangleq \triangleq J1 + J2. For k \in \{ 0, 1, . . . , N\} , since \langle z, \zeta \rangle k \in H\infty \alpha , for all \zeta \in \partial \BbbB and C\varphi - C\psi : H\infty \alpha \rightarrow H\infty \beta is bounded, then \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} \zeta \in \partial \BbbB \| (C\varphi - C\psi )\langle \cdot , \zeta \rangle k\| H\infty \beta <\infty . Hence, \mathrm{l}\mathrm{i}\mathrm{m} \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} | a| \rightarrow 1 J1 = 0. On the other hand, noting (2.7) we have J2 \preceq \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} m\geq N+1 \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} \zeta \in \partial \BbbB m\alpha \| (C\varphi - C\psi )\langle \cdot , \zeta \rangle m\| H\infty \beta , which leads to \mathrm{l}\mathrm{i}\mathrm{m} \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} | a| \rightarrow 1 J2 \preceq \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} m\geq N+1 \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} \zeta \in \partial \BbbB m\alpha \| (C\varphi - C\psi )\langle \cdot , \zeta \rangle m\| H\infty \beta . Thus, (i) holds. Next based on the result in (2.8), it follows that ISSN 1027-3190.

Thus, we conclude (ii). Lemma 3.2 is proved. The following characterization about the essential norm of C\varphi - C\psi : H\infty \alpha \rightarrow H\infty \beta appears to be useful for our purposes. For a proof, see Theorem 2 in [17]. Lemma 3.3. Let 0 < \alpha , \beta < \infty , \varphi , \psi \in S(\BbbB ) such that \mathrm{m}\mathrm{a}\mathrm{x}\{ \| \varphi 1\| \infty , \| \varphi 2\| \infty \} = 1. If C\varphi , C\psi : H\infty \alpha \rightarrow H\infty \beta are bounded operators, then the essential norm \| C\varphi - C\psi \| e,H\infty \alpha \rightarrow H\infty \beta is equivalent to the maximum of the following expressions: (i) \mathrm{l}\mathrm{i}\mathrm{m} \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} | \varphi (z)| \rightarrow 1 \scrT \beta \alpha \varphi (z)\rho (z), (ii) \mathrm{l}\mathrm{i}\mathrm{m} \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} | \psi (z)| \rightarrow 1 \scrT \beta \alpha \psi (z)\rho (z), (iii) \mathrm{l}\mathrm{i}\mathrm{m} \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} min\{ | \varphi (z)| ,| \psi (z)| \} \rightarrow 1 \bigm| \bigm| \bigm| \scrT \beta \alpha \varphi (z) - \scrT \beta \alpha \psi (z) \bigm| \bigm| \bigm| . Theorem 3.1. Let 0 < \alpha , \beta < \infty , \varphi , \psi \in S(\BbbB ). If the operators C\varphi , C\psi : H\infty \alpha \rightarrow H\infty \beta are bounded, then the following equivalences hold: \| C\varphi - C\psi \| e,H\infty \alpha \rightarrow H\infty \beta \approx \approx \mathrm{l}\mathrm{i}\mathrm{m} \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} | \varphi (z)| \rightarrow 1 \scrT \beta \alpha \varphi (z)\rho (z) + \mathrm{l}\mathrm{i}\mathrm{m} \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} | \psi (z)| \rightarrow 1 \scrT \beta \alpha \psi (z)\rho (z) + \mathrm{l}\mathrm{i}\mathrm{m} \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} min\{ | \varphi (z)| ,| \psi (z)| \} \rightarrow 1 \bigm| \bigm| \bigm| \scrT \beta \alpha \varphi (z) - \scrT \beta \alpha \psi (z) \bigm| \bigm| \bigm| \approx \approx \mathrm{l}\mathrm{i}\mathrm{m} \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} | a| \rightarrow 1 \| (C\varphi - C\psi )fa\| H\infty \beta + + \mathrm{m}\mathrm{a}\mathrm{x}\{ \mathrm{l}\mathrm{i}\mathrm{m} \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} | \varphi (a)| \rightarrow 1 \| (C\varphi - C\psi )g\varphi (a)\| H\infty \beta , \mathrm{l}\mathrm{i}\mathrm{m} \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} | \psi (a)| \rightarrow 1 \| (C\varphi - C\psi )g\psi (a)\| H\infty \beta \} \approx \approx \mathrm{l}\mathrm{i}\mathrm{m} \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} m\rightarrow \infty \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} \zeta \in \partial \BbbB m\alpha \| (C\varphi - C\psi )\langle \cdot , \zeta \rangle m\| H\infty \beta . Proof. The boundedness of C\varphi - C\psi : H\infty \alpha \rightarrow H\infty \beta comes easily from the boundedness of the operators C\varphi and C\psi from H\infty \alpha to H\infty \beta . Thus, using the results in Lemmas 3.1 – 3.3, it suffices to prove that \| C\varphi - C\psi \| e,H\infty \alpha \rightarrow H\infty \beta \succeq \mathrm{l}\mathrm{i}\mathrm{m} \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} m\rightarrow \infty \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} \zeta \in \partial \BbbB m\alpha \| (C\varphi - C\psi )\langle \cdot , \zeta \rangle m\| H\infty \beta .

CHEN Choose fm,\zeta (z) = \langle z, \zeta \rangle m \| \langle \cdot , \zeta \rangle m\| H\infty \alpha , then \| fm,\zeta \| H\infty \alpha = 1 and fm,\zeta \rightarrow 0,m\rightarrow \infty weakly in H\infty \alpha . Thus, for any compact operator K : H\infty \alpha \rightarrow H\infty \beta , we have \mathrm{l}\mathrm{i}\mathrm{m}m\rightarrow \infty \| fm,\zeta \| H\infty \beta = 0. Hence, \| C\varphi - C\psi - K\| \geq \mathrm{l}\mathrm{i}\mathrm{m} \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} m\rightarrow \infty \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} \zeta \in \partial \BbbB \| (C\varphi - C\psi - K)fm,\zeta \| H\infty \beta \geq \geq \mathrm{l}\mathrm{i}\mathrm{m} \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} m\rightarrow \infty \mathrm{s}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{p} \zeta \in \partial \BbbB \| (C\varphi - C\psi )fm,\zeta \| H\infty \beta .

Chen, Cui Chen, C. holomorphic functions In this paper, we present some asymptotically equivalent expressions to the essential norm of differences of composition operators acting on weighted-type spaces of holomorphic functions in the unit ball of $\mathbb{C}^N$. Especially, the descriptions in terms of $\langle z, \zeta\rangle^m$ are described. From which the sufficient and necessary conditions of compactness follows immediately. Also, we characterize the boundedness of these operators. Запропоновано асимптотично еквівалентні вирази для суттєвої норми різниць операторів композиції, які діють у вагових просторах голоморфних функцій в одиничній кулі з $\mathbb{C}^N.$&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Зокрема, наведено опис у термінах $\langle z, \zeta\rangle^m,$ з якого безпосередньо випливають необхідні та достатні умови компактності.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Крім того, охарактеризовано обмеженість цих операторів.
