AbstractAfter the celebrated work of L. Hörmander on the one-parameter pseudo-differential operators, the applications of pseudo-differential operators have played an important role in partial differential equations, geometric analysis, harmonic analysis, theory of several complex variables and other branches of modern analysis. For instance, they are used to construct parametrices and establish the regularity of solutions to PDEs such as the {\overline{\partial}} problem. The study of Fourier multipliers, pseudo-differential operators and Fourier integral operators has stimulated further such applications. It is well known that the one-parameter pseudo-differential operators are {L^{p}({\mathbb{R}^{n}})} bounded for {1<p<\infty}, but only bounded on local Hardy spaces {h^{p}({\mathbb{R}^{n}})} introduced by Goldberg in [D. Goldberg,
A local version of real Hardy spaces,
Duke Math. J. 46 1979, 1, 27–42] for {0<p\leq 1}.
Though much work has been done on the {L^{p}(\mathbb{R}^{n_{1}}\times\mathbb{R}^{n_{2}})} boundedness for {1<p<\infty} and Hardy {H^{p}(\mathbb{R}^{n_{1}}\times\mathbb{R}^{n_{2}})} boundedness for {0<p\leq 1} for multi-parameter Fourier multipliers and singular integral operators, not much has been done yet for the boundedness of multi-parameter pseudo-differential operators in the range of {0<p\leq 1}. The main purpose of this paper is to establish the boundedness of multi-parameter pseudo-differential operators
on multi-parameter local Hardy spaces {h^{p}(\mathbb{R}^{n_{1}}\times\mathbb{R}^{n_{2}})} for {0<p\leq 1} recently introduced by Ding, Lu and Zhu in [W. Ding, G. Lu and Y. Zhu,
