1 Introduction

and

For 0＜p＜∞and the normal weight function u，the Bergman-type space Apuon D is defined by

For this space and some operators，see，e.g.，［2］and［3］.

For 0＜β＜∞，the weighted Bloch space Bβconsists of all f∈H（D）such that

It is a Banach space under the norm

Similar to the weighted Bloch space，the weighted Zygmund spaceis defined by

The norm on this space is

and under this norm it is a Banach space.There are a lot of papers to study weighted Bloch spaces，weighted Zygmund spaces and operators between weighted Bloch spaces or weighted Zygmund spaces and some other analytic function spaces.We refer the readers to see，e.g.，［4-8］and the references therein.

Let φ be an analytic self-map of D and g∈H（D）.The Volterra composition operator Jφ，gon H（D）is

In the beginning，people studied this operator for the case φ（z）=z（see［1，9-12］）.For this case，it is called the integral operator or the Volterra operator.People pay a lot of attention to this operator on analytic function spaces，due to it's relation with other branches of complex analysis such as，Bekoll´e-Bonami weights，univalent functions，Littlewood-Paley type formula，conformal invariance spaces and Carleson measures（see［1，9，10，13-15］）. Recently，Li characterized the bounded and compact Volterra composition operators between weighted Bergman spaces and Bloch type spaces in［16］.Wolf characterized the bounded and compact Volterra composition operators between weighted Bergman spaces and weighted Bloch type spaces in［17］.The present author studied the bounded and compact Volterra composition operators from Bergman-type spaces to Bloch-type spaces and obtained an asymptotic expression of the essential norm in［2］.

Let n be a nonnegative integer，φ an analytic self-map of D and g∈H（D）.We define a generalized Volterra composition operatoron H（D）by

where f（0）=f.It is easy to see that this operator is a generalization of the Volterra composition operator.A natural problem is how to provide a function theoretic characterization of φ and g when they induce the bounded and compact operator between analytic function spaces in the unit disk.In this paper，we consider this problem for operatorfrom Bergman-type spaces to weighted Zygmund spaces and weighted Bloch spaces.We obtain the following Theorems 3.1，3.3.

Throughout this paper，constants are denoted by C，they are positive and may differ from one occurrence to the other.The notation ab means that there is a positive constant C such that a/C≤b≤Ca.

2 Prerequisites

First，we have the following lemma.Since the proof is standard，it is omitted（see Proposition 3.11 in［13］）.

Lemma 2.1Suppose that φ is an analytic self-map of D，g∈H（D），Y=Bβor， and the operator→Y is bounded，then the operator→Y is compact if and only if for bounded sequence｛fj｝insuch that fj→0 uniformly on every compact subset of D as j→∞，it follows that

For the cases of j=0 and j=1，the next lemma was proved in［4］.For the general positive integer j，it can be proved similarly，and it is omitted here.

Lemma 2.2For j∈N+，there is a positive constant C independent of f∈such that for every z∈D the following inequality holds

The next Lemma 2.3 can be found in［4］.

Lemma 2.3Suppose that w∈D，then for t≥0 the function

Using the function fw，t，we have

Lemma 2.4Suppose that w∈D，then for each fixed j∈｛1，2，···，n｝there exist constants c1，c2，···，cnsuch that the function

satisfying

for each k∈｛1，2，···，n｝｛j｝，where C is a constant related to j.

ProofFor a fixed w∈D and arbitrary constants d1，d2，···，dn，define the function

To finish the proof，we only need to show that there exist constants d1，d2，···，dnsuch that f satisfying assertion（2.1）.By calculating f（k）for each k∈｛1，···，n｝，we obtain the following linear system

If we can show that the determinant of this linear system is different from zero，the problem will be solved.Applying Lemma 2.3 in［18］with a=n+1/p＞0，we see that it is different from zero.Let ci=di/（n-2+i+），and then proof is end.

The following lemma is also a folklore.

Lemma 2.5H∞⊆In particular，every polynomial function belongs to

3 Main Results

We first give the conditions forto be a bounded operator.

Theorem 3.1Suppose that φ is an analytic self-map of D and g∈H（D），then the operatoris bounded if and only if the following conditions are satisfied

ProofFirst suppose that the operatoris bounded.Take the function f（z）=zn/n！.Then from Lemma 2.5 it follows that f∈Since the operatoris bounded，we have

that is

Considering f（z）=zn+1/（n+1）！，by the boundedness of the operatorwe have

From（3.1），（3.2）and the fact|φ（z）|＜1 on D，it follows that

For w∈D，taking the function f in Lemma 2.4，we know that there exist constants c1，c2，···，cn+1such that

satisfying

and f（k）（φ（w））=0 for each k∈｛1，2，···，n｝.Then by the boundedness of the operator，we get

i.e.，we have

So for δ∈（0，1），

and by（3.3），

where the first constant

From（3.4）and（3.5），assertion（i）follows.

Once again choose the function f in Lemma 2.4 which satisfies

and f（k）（φ（w））=0 for each k∈｛1，2，···，n-1，n+1｝.Then by the similar method，we can prove that assertion（ii）is true，and the proof is omitted here.

Conversely，suppose that assertions（i）and（ii）hold.For f∈by Lemma 2.2 we have

From assertions（i），（ii）and（3.6），it follows thatis bounded.From the above inequalities，we also obtain the asymptotic expression

The following result can be similarly proved.

Theorem 3.2Suppose that φ is an analytic self-map of D and g∈H（D），then the operatoris bounded if and only if

We begin to estimate the essential norm of the generalized Voterra composition operators.Let us recall the definition of the essential norm of the bounded linear operators. Suppose that X and Y are Banach spaces and T：X→Y is a bounded linear operator，then the essential norm of the operator T：X→Y is defined by

where K denotes the set of all compact linear operators from X to Y.By the definition，it is clear that the bounded linear operator T：X→Y is compact if and only if

Theorem 3.3Suppose that φ is an analytic self-map of D，g∈H（D）andis bounded，then

where the sequence｛zj｝satisfies|φ（zj）|→1-as j→∞.

ProofSuppose that｛zj｝is a sequence in D such that|φ（zj）|→1-as j→∞. For each φ（zj），taking fjthe function in the proof of Theorem 3.1，we have seen that maxj∈N‖fj‖≤C，and it is obvious that fj→0 uniformly on compacta of D as j→∞. Hence for every compact operator K：→，we have‖Kfj‖→0 as j→∞.Thus it follows that

By taking the infimum in（3.7）over the set of all compact operators K：，we obtain

Using the similar method，we also have

Combing these inequalities，we have got

Now suppose that｛rj｝is a positive sequence which increasingly converges to 1.For every rj，we define the operator by

Similar to the proof of Theorem 3.3，we can also prove the next result.

where the sequence｛zj｝satisfies|φ（zj）|→1-as j→∞.

So we have
