For f,g∈S(Rn),n≥3, consider the bilinear cone multiplier operator defined by TRλ(f,g)(x):=∫R2nmλ(Rξnξ′,Rηnη′)f^(ξ)g^(η)e2πιx⋅(ξ+η) dξdη, where λ>0,R>0 and mλ(Rξnξ′,Rηnη′)=(1−R2ξn2∣ξ′∣2−R2ηn2∣η′∣2)+λφ(ξn)φ(ηn), (ξ′,ξn),(η′,ηn)∈Rn−1×R and φ∈Cc∞([21,2]). We investigate the problem of pointwise almost everywhere convergence of TRλ(f,g)(x) as R→∞ for (f,g)∈Lp1×Lp2 for a wide range of exponents p1,p2 satisfying the Hölder relation p11+p21=p1. This assertion is proved by establishing suitable weighted L2×L2→L1–estimates of the maximal bilinear cone multiplier operator T∗λ(f,g)(x):=R>0sup∣TRλ(f,g)(x)∣.
