Necessary and sufficient conditions on a weight function v guaranteeing the boundedness/compactness of integral operators with positive kernels defined on cones of homogeneous groups from L p to L q v are established, where 1 < p, q < ∞ or 0 < q ≤ 1 < p < ∞. Behavior of singular numbers for these operators is also studied.
