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:
“Let us stop being afraid. Of our own thoughts, our own minds. Of madness, our own or others’. Stop being afraid of the mind itself, its astonishing functions and fandangos, its complications and simplifications, the wonderful operation of its machinery—more wonderful because it is not machinery at all or predictable.”
—Kate Millett (b. 1934)
“A theory if you hold it hard enough
And long enough gets rated as a creed....”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
