A STUDY ON CARLESON MEASURES WITH RESPECT TO GENERAL APPROACH REGIONS

In this paper we first introduce a space of homogeneous type X, and we consider a kind of generalized upper half-space X $\times$ (0, $\infty$). We are mainly concerned with some inequalities in terms of Carleson measures or in terms of certain maximal operators with respect to general approach regions in X $\times$ (0, $\infty$). The main tool of the proof is the Whitney decomposition.
