Weighted inequalities through factorization.
In [4] P. Jones solved the question posed by B. Muckenhoupt in [7] concerning the factorization of Ap weights. We recall that a non-negative measurable function w on Rn is in the class Ap, 1 < p < ∞ if and only if the Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator is bounded on Lp(Rn, w). In what follows, Lp(X, w) denotes the class of all measurable functions f defined on X for which ||fw1/p||Lp(X) < ∞, where X is a measure space and w is a non-negative measurable function on X.It has recently...
