The family of fractional Cauchy transforms, defined on the open unit disc in the complex plane, is of classical and modern interest. Membership of an analytic function in the family is determined by the requirement that the function can be expressed as an integral of a certain kernel against a complex Borel measure on the disc. Such an integral representation imposes a growth condition on the function and its derivatives. This exposes a connection between the families of Cauchy transforms and familiar spaces of analytic functions, such as the Bloch spaces and the Zygmund space. The notion of a composition operator has been a fruitful area of study. More generally, many authors have studied weighted composition operators, the differentiation operator, integral-type operators, and various products of such operators, acting from one normed linear space of analytic functions to another such space. A common theme of such works is to characterize the operator-theoretic notions of boundedness and compactness in terms of the inducing symbols of the operator. We extend these studies to a specific linear transformation which will be defined as the sum of finitely many integral operators. Our conclusions include a complete characterization of boundedness and compactness of the integral sum, acting from the fractional Cauchy spaces to the Bloch-type and Zygmund-type spaces.
