We prove two-weight norm inequalities in ℝⁿ for the minimal operator
,
extending to higher dimensions results obtained by Cruz-Uribe, Neugebauer and Olesen [8] on the real line. As an application we extend to ℝⁿ weighted norm inequalities for the geometric maximal operator
,
proved by Yin and Muckenhoupt [27].
We also give norm inequalities for the centered minimal operator, study powers of doubling weights and give sufficient conditions for the geometric maximal operator to be equal to the closely...
