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:
“It’s fairly obvious that American education is a cultural flop. Americans are not a well-educated people culturally, and their vocational education often has to be learned all over again after they leave school and college. On the other hand, they have open quick minds and if their education has little sharp positive value, it has not the stultifying effects of a more rigid training.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
“The mother’s and father’s attitudes toward the child correspond to the child’s own needs.... Mother has the function of making him secure in life, father has the function of teaching him, guiding him to cope with those problems with which the particular society the child has been born into confronts him.”
—Erich Fromm (1900–1980)
