In this paper, we study the necessary and sufficient conditions for the quantitative weighted bounds of the Calderón type commutator for the Littlewood–Paley operator. Let \(g_{\Omega ,1;b}\) be the Calderón type commutator for the Littlewood–Paley operator where \(\Omega \) is homogeneous of degree zero and satisfies the cancellation condition on the unit sphere, and \(b\in Lip(\mathbb {R}^n)\) . More precisely, for the sufficiency, we use a new operator \(\widetilde{G}_{\Omega ,m;b}^j\) . Through the Calderón–Zygmund decomposition and the grand maximal operator \(\mathcal {M}_{\widetilde{G}_{\Omega ,m;b}^j}\) of weak type (1,1), we establish a sparse domination of \(\widetilde{G}_{\Omega ,m;b}^j\) . And then applying the interpolation theorem with change of measures and the relationship between the operators \(g_{\Omega ,1;b}\) and \(\widetilde{G}_{\Omega ,m;b}^j\) , we get the weighted bounds of the Calderón type commutators for the Littlewood–Paley operator \(g_{\Omega ,1;b}\) . In addition, for the necessity, through the local mean oscillation, we obtain Lip-type characterizations of \(Lip(\mathbb {R}^n)\) via the weighted bounds of the Calderón type commutators for the Littlewood–Paley operator.
