1 Preliminaries and theorems
As the development of singular integral operators and their commutators, multilinear singular integral operators have been well studied (see [1–5]). In this paper, we study some vector-valued multilinear integral operators as follows.
Suppose that are positive integers (), and are functions on (). Let be defined on . Set
and
for every bounded and compactly supported function f, where
Let H be the Banach space such that, for each fixed , and may be viewed as a mapping from to H. For , the vector-valued multilinear operator related to is defined by

Suppose that is bounded on for and weak -bounded.
Note that when , is just a vector-valued multilinear commutator of T and A (see [6]). While when , is a non-trivial generalization of the commutator. It is well known that multilinear operators are of great interest in harmonic analysis and have been studied by many authors (see [1–5]). In [7], Hu and Yang proved a variant sharp estimate for the multilinear singular integral operators. In [6], Pérez and Trujillo-Gonzalez proved a sharp estimate for some multilinear commutator. The main purpose of this paper is to prove a sharp inequality for the vector-valued multilinear integral operators. As applications, we obtain the weighted () norm inequalities and an -type estimate for the vector-valued multilinear operators.
First, let us introduce some notations. Throughout this paper, Q will denote a cube of with sides parallel to the axes. For any locally integrable function f, the sharp function of f is defined by

We say that f belongs to if belongs to and . For , we denote by
Let M be the Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator, that is, . For , we denote by the operator M iterated k times, i.e., and for .
Let Φ be a Young function and be the complementary associated to Φ, we denote the Φ-average by, for a function f,
and the maximal function associated to Φ by
The Young functions to be used in this paper are and , the corresponding Φ-average and maximal functions are denoted by , and , . We have the following inequality, for any and (see [6])
For , we denote that

It has been known that (see [6])
It is obvious that coincides with the space if , and if . We denote the Muckenhoupt weights by for (see [8]).
Now we state our main results as follows.
