Let $\mathcal{L}$ be the space of complex-valued functions $f$ on the set of vertices $T$ of an rooted infinite tree rooted at $o$ such that the difference of the values of $f$ at neighboring vertices remains bounded throughout the tree, and let $\mathcal{L}_{\textbf{w}}$ be the set of functions $f\in \mathcal{L}$ such that $|f(v)-f(v^-)|=O(|v|^{-1})$, where $|v|$ is the distance between $o$ and $v$ and $v^-$ is the neighbor of $v$ closest to $o$. In this article, we characterize the bounded and the compact multiplication operators between $\mathcal{L}$ and $\mathcal{L}_{\textbf{w}}$, and provide operator norm and essential norm estimates. Furthermore, we characterize the bounded and compact multiplication operators between $\mathcal{L}_{\textbf{w}}$ and the space $L^\infty$ of bounded functions on $T$ and determine their operator norm and their essential norm. We establish that there are no isometries among the multiplication operators between these spaces.

We study the multiplication operators on the weighted Lipschitz space $\mathcal{L}_{\textbf{w}}$ consisting of the complex-valued functions $f$ on the set of vertices of an infinite tree $T$ rooted at $o$ such that $\sup_{v\neq o}|v||f(v)-f(v^-)|<\infty$, where $|v|$ denotes the distance between $o$ and $v$ and $v^-$ is the neighbor of $v$ closest to $o$. For the multiplication operator, we characterize boundedness, compactness, provide estimates on the operator norm and the essential norm, and determine the spectrum. We prove that there are no isometric multiplication operators or isometric zero divisors on $\mathcal{L}_{\textbf{w}}$., Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:2207.12212

We introduce a class of iterated logarithmic Lipschitz spaces $\mathcal{L}^{(k)}$, $k\in\mathbb{N}$, on an infinite tree which arise naturally in the context of operator theory. We characterize boundedness and compactness of the multiplication operators on $\mathcal{L}^{(k)}$ and provide estimates on their operator norm and their essential norm. In addition, we determine the spectrum, characterize the multiplication operators that are bounded below, and prove that on such spaces there are no nontrivial isometric multiplication operators and no isometric zero divisors.
