| Summary: | Abstract In the present paper, we shall give necessary and sufficient conditions for the strong and weak boundedness of the Riesz potential operator I α $I_{\alpha}$ on Orlicz spaces. Cianchi (J. Lond. Math. Soc. 60(1):247-286, 2011) found necessary and sufficient conditions on general Young functions Φ and Ψ ensuring that this operator is of weak or strong type from L Φ $L^{\Phi}$ into L Ψ $L^{\Psi}$ . Our characterizations for the boundedness of the above-mentioned operator are different from the ones in (Cianchi in J. Lond. Math. Soc. 60(1):247-286, 2011). As an application of these results, we consider the boundedness of the commutators of Riesz potential operator [ b , I α ] $[b,I_{\alpha }]$ on Orlicz spaces when b belongs to the BMO and Lipschitz spaces, respectively.
