Maximal Functions in Ergodic Theory
Let be a probability space, and a measure-preserving endomorphism of . The maximal function of a function is
The maximal function of f verifies a weak bound analogous to the Hardy–Littlewood maximal inequality:
that is a restatement of the maximal ergodic theorem.

Famous quotes containing the words functions and/or theory:
“Mark the babe
Not long accustomed to this breathing world;
One that hath barely learned to shape a smile,
Though yet irrational of soul, to grasp
With tiny finger—to let fall a tear;
And, as the heavy cloud of sleep dissolves,
To stretch his limbs, bemocking, as might seem,
The outward functions of intelligent man.”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
“The theory [before the twentieth century] ... was that all the jobs in the world belonged by right to men, and that only men were by nature entitled to wages. If a woman earned money, outside domestic service, it was because some misfortune had deprived her of masculine protection.”
—Rheta Childe Dorr (1866–1948)
