We characterize the pairs of weights on ℝ for which the operators $M_{h,k}^{+}f\left(x\right)=su{p}_{c>x}h(x,c){ʃ}_x^{c}f\left(s\right)k(x,s,c)ds$ are of weak type (p,q), or of restricted weak type (p,q), 1 ≤ p < q < ∞, between the Lebesgue spaces with the coresponding weights. The functions h and k are positive, h is defined on $(x,c):x<c$, while k is defined on $(x,s,c):x<s<c$. If $h(x,c)={(c-x)}^{-\beta }$, $k(x,s,c)={(c-s)}^{\alpha -1}$, 0 ≤ β ≤ α ≤ 1, we obtain the operator $M_{\alpha ,\beta }^{+}f=su{p}_{c>x}1/{(c-x)}^{\beta }{ʃ}_x^{c}f\left(s\right)/{(c-s)}^{1-\alpha }ds$. For this operator, under the assumption 1/p - 1/q = α - β, we extend the weak type characterization to the case p = q and prove that in the case of equal weights and...

Let f be a measurable function defined on ℝ. For each n ∈ ℤ we consider the average $Aₙf\left(x\right)=2^{-n}{\int }_x^{x+2ⁿ}f$. The square function is defined as $Sf\left(x\right)=({\sum }_{n=-\infty }^{\infty }|Aₙf\left(x\right)-A_{n-1}f\left(x\right){\left|²\right)}^{1/2}$. The local version of this operator, namely the operator $S₁f\left(x\right)=({\sum }_{n=-\infty }^0|Aₙf\left(x\right)-A_{n-1}f\left(x\right){\left|²\right)}^{1/2}$, is of interest in ergodic theory and it has been extensively studied. In particular it has been proved [3] that it is of weak type (1,1), maps $L^p$ into itself (p > 1) and $L^{\infty }$ into BMO. We prove that the operator S not only maps $L^{\infty }$ into BMO but it also maps BMO into BMO. We also prove that the $L^p$ boundedness still holds...

In this paper we study the relationship between one-sided reverse Hölder classes $R{H}_r^{+}$ and the $A_p^{+}$ classes. We find the best possible range of $R{H}_r^{+}$ to which an $A_1^{+}$ weight belongs, in terms of the $A_1^{+}$ constant. Conversely, we also find the best range of $A_p^{+}$ to which a $R{H}_{\infty }^{+}$ weight belongs, in terms of the $R{H}_{\infty }^{+}$ constant. Similar problems for $A_p^{+}$, $1<p<\infty$ and $R{H}_r^{+}$, $1<r<\infty$ are solved using factorization.
