Let L −∂2/∂x2 2α 1/x∂/∂x x2∂2/∂t2; x, t ∈ 0, ∞ × R, where α ≥ 0 Then L can
generate a hypergroup which is called Laguerre hypergroup, and we denote this hypergroup byK.
In this paper, we will consider the Littlewood-Paley g-functions onK and then we use it to prove
the H ¨olmander multipliers onK.

Δ−Ψλ, m Ψλ, m − Ψλ, m − 1,
ΔΨλ, m Ψλ, m 1 − Ψλ, m. 3.1
Then we define the following differential operators:

then T is bounded on L p α K, where 1 < p < ∞.
Proof We just prove the theorem for 2 < p < ∞, for 1 < p < 2; we can get the result by the
