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:
“Everything I ever learned as a small boy came from my father. And I never found anything he ever told me to be wrong or worthless. The simple lessons he taught me are as sharp and clear in my mind, as if I had heard them only yesterday.”
—Philip Dunne (1908–1992)
“Morality and its victim, the mother—what a terrible picture! Is there indeed anything more terrible, more criminal, than our glorified sacred function of motherhood?”
—Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
