Non-tangential Maximal Functions
The non-tangential maximal function takes a function defined on the upper-half plane and produces a function defined on via the expression
Observe that for a fixed, the set is a cone in with vertex at and axis perpendicular to the boundary of . Thus, the non-tangential maximal operator simply takes the supremum of the function over a cone with vertex at the boundary of .

Famous quotes containing the word functions:
“The mind is a finer body, and resumes its functions of feeding, digesting, absorbing, excluding, and generating, in a new and ethereal element. Here, in the brain, is all the process of alimentation repeated, in the acquiring, comparing, digesting, and assimilating of experience. Here again is the mystery of generation repeated.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
