Abstract

This paper extends the self-improvement result of Keith and Zhong in [16] to the two-measure case. Our main result shows that a two-measure (p,p)(p,p)-Poincar\'e inequality for 1<p<1<p<\infty improves to a (p,pε)(p,p-\varepsilon)-Poincar\'e inequality for some ε>0\varepsilon>0 under a balance condition on the measures. The corresponding result for a maximal Poincar\'e inequality is also considered. In this case the left-hand side in the Poincar\'e inequality is replaced with an integral of a sharp maximal function and the results hold without a balance condition. Moreover, validity of maximal Poincar\'e inequalities is used to characterize the self-improvement of two-measure Poincar\'e inequalities. Examples are constructed to illustrate the role of the assumptions. Harmonic analysis and PDE techniques are used extensively in the arguments.
