Let $M_S$ denote the strong maximal operator. Let $M_x$ and $M_y$ denote the one-dimensional Hardy-Littlewood maximal operators in the horizontal and vertical directions in ℝ². A function h supported on the unit square Q = [0,1]×[0,1] is exhibited such that ${\int }_Q{M}_y{M}_{x}h<\infty$ but ${\int }_Q{M}_x{M}_{y}h=\infty$. It is shown that if f is a function supported on Q such that ${\int }_Q{M}_y{M}_{x}f<\infty$ but ${\int }_Q{M}_x{M}_{y}f=\infty$, then there exists a set A of finite measure in ℝ² such that ${\int }_A{M}_{S}f=\infty$.

We establish the Lp boundedness of singular integrals with kernels which belong to block spaces and are supported by subvarities.

We prove analogue statements of the spherical maximal theorem of E. M. Stein, for the lattice points Zn. We decompose the discrete spherical measures as an integral of Gaussian kernels st,ε(x) = e2πi|x|2(t + iε). By using Minkowski's integral inequality it is enough to prove Lp-bounds for the corresponding convolution operators. The proof is then based on L2-estimates by analysing the Fourier transforms ^st,ε(ξ), which can be handled by making use of the circle method for exponential sums. As a...

Characterizations are obtained for those pairs of weight functions u and v for which the operators $Tf\left(x\right)={ʃ}_{a\left(x\right)}^{b\left(x\right)}f\left(t\right)dt$ with a and b certain non-negative functions are bounded from $L_u^p(0,\infty )$ to $L_v^q(0,\infty )$, 0 < p,q < ∞, p≥ 1. Sufficient conditions are given for T to be bounded on the cones of monotone functions. The results are applied to give a weighted inequality comparing differences and derivatives as well as a weight characterization for the Steklov operator.

We prove that the elliptic maximal function maps the Sobolev space W4,eta(R2) into L4(R2) for all eta &gt; 1/6. The main ingredients of the proof are an analysis of the intersectiQn properties of elliptic annuli and a combinatorial method of Kolasa and Wolff.

We prove the $L^p$ boundedness of the Marcinkiewicz integral operators ${\mu }_{\Omega }$ on ${ℝ}^{n₁}\times \cdots \times {ℝ}^{n_k}$ under the condition that $\Omega \in L{\left(logL\right)}^{k/2}{(}^{n₁-1}\times \cdots {\times }^{n_k-1})$. The exponent k/2 is the best possible. This answers an open question posed by Y. Ding.

In this paper we deal with several characterizations of the Hardy-Sobolev spaces in the unit ball of Cn, that is, spaces of holomorphic functions in the ball whose derivatives up to a certain order belong to the classical Hardy spaces. Some of our characterizations are in terms of maximal functions, area functions or Littlewood-Paley functions involving only complex-tangential derivatives. A special case of our results is a characterization of Hp itself involving only complex-tangential derivatives....

Let ω be a Békollé-Bonami weight. We give a complete characterization of the positive measures μ such that ${\int }_{}|M_{\omega }{f\left(z\right)|}^{q}d\mu \left(z\right)\le C({\int }_{}{\left|f\left(z\right)\right|}^p{\omega \left(z\right)dV\left(z\right))}^{q/p}$ and $\mu \left(z\in :Mf\left(z\right)>\lambda \right)\le C/\left({\lambda }^q\right)({\int }_{}|f\left(z\right){{|}^p\omega \left(z\right)dV\left(z\right))}^{q/p}$, where $M_{\omega }$ is the weighted Hardy-Littlewood maximal function on the upper half-plane and 1 ≤ p,q <; ∞.

We define Beurling-Orlicz spaces, weak Beurling-Orlicz spaces, Herz-Orlicz spaces, weak Herz-Orlicz spaces, central Morrey-Orlicz spaces and weak central Morrey-Orlicz spaces. Moreover, the strong-type and weak-type estimates of the Hardy-Littlewood maximal function on these spaces are investigated.

The famous result of Muckenhoupt on the connection between weights w in Ap-classes and the boundedness of the maximal operator in Lp(w) is extended to the case p = ∞ by the introduction of the geometrical maximal operator. Estimates of the norm of the maximal operators are given in terms of the Ap-constants. The equality of two differently defined A∞-constants is proved. Thereby an answer is given to a question posed by R. Johnson. For non-increasing functions on the positive real line a parallel...
