On a general concept of a Hausdorff-type operator

A unified approach to the concept of a Hausdorff operator is proposed in such a way that a number of classical and new operators feet into the given definition. Conditions are given for the boundedness of the operators under consideration in $L^p$ and in the atomic Hardy space $H^1$, and their regularity property is investigated. Examples are considered. The author hopes that this approach will allow one to unify the study of a lot of extensions and analogs of the classical Hausdorff operator.
