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:
“Young children scare easily—a tough tone, a sharp reprimand, an exasperated glance, a peeved scowl will do it. Little signs of rejection—you don’t have to hit young children to hurt them—cut very deeply.”
—James L. Hymes, Jr. (20th century)
“If the children and youth of a nation are afforded opportunity to develop their capacities to the fullest, if they are given the knowledge to understand the world and the wisdom to change it, then the prospects for the future are bright. In contrast, a society which neglects its children, however well it may function in other respects, risks eventual disorganization and demise.”
—Urie Bronfenbrenner (b. 1917)
