We give very short and transparent proofs of extrapolation theorems of Yano type in the framework of Lorentz spaces. The decomposition technique developed in Edmunds-Krbec (2000) enables us to obtain known and new results in a unified manner.
We prove an interpolation theorem for weak-type operators. This is closely related to interpolation between weak-type classes. Weak-type classes at the ends of interpolation scales play a similar role to that played by BMO with respect to the interpolation scale. We also clarify the roles of some of the parameters appearing in the definition of the weak-type classes. The interpolation theorem follows from a K-functional inequality for the operators, involving the Calderón operator. The inequality...
