Weighted inequalities for discrete iterated Hardy operators

We characterize a three-weight inequality for an iterated discrete Hardy-type operator. In the case when the domain space is a weighted space $\ell^p$ with $p\in(0,1]$, we develop characterizations which enable us to reduce the problem to another one with $p=1$. This, in turn, makes it possible to establish an equivalence of the weighted discrete inequality to an appropriate inequality for iterated Hardy-type operators acting on measurable functions defined on $\mathbb{R}$, for all cases of involved positive exponents.
