New proofs of two-weight norm inequalities for the maximal operator.
We give a new proof using the classic Calderón-Zygmund decomposition that the Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator is bounded on the variable Lebesgue space whenever the exponent function satisfies log-Hölder continuity conditions. We include the case where assumes the value infinity. The same proof also shows that the fractional maximal operator , , maps into , where .
