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)
“If my theory of relativity is proven correct, Germany will claim me as a German and France will declare that I am a citizen of the world. Should my theory prove untrue, France will say that I am a German and Germany will declare that I am a Jew.”
—Albert Einstein (1879–1955)
