Maximal Function - The Sharp Maximal Function

The Sharp Maximal Function

For a locally integrable function on, the sharp maximal function is defined as

for each, where the supremum is taken over all balls .

The sharp function can be used to obtain a point-wise inequality regarding singular integrals. Suppose we have an operator which is bounded on, so we have

for all smooth and compactly supported . Suppose also that we can realise as convolution against a kernel in the sense that, whenever and are smooth and have disjoint support

Finally we assume a size and smoothness condition on the kernel :

when . Then for a fixed, we have

for all .

Famous quotes containing the words sharp and/or function:

    I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken,
    I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children,
    And it’s a hard, it’s a hard, it’s a hard, it’s a hard,
    It’s a hard rain’s a-gonna fall.
    Bob Dylan [Robert Allen Zimmerman] (b. 1941)

    No one, however powerful and successful, can function as an adult if his parents are not satisfied with him.
    Frank Pittman (20th century)
