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:
“If photography is allowed to stand in for art in some of its functions it will soon supplant or corrupt it completely thanks to the natural support it will find in the stupidity of the multitude. It must return to its real task, which is to be the servant of the sciences and the arts, but the very humble servant, like printing and shorthand which have neither created nor supplanted literature.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
