Maximal operator on variable exponent spaces

Functional Analysis 2025-02-17 v1

Abstract

We explore the boundedness of the Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator MM on variable exponent spaces. Our findings demonstrate that the Muckenhoupt condition, in conjunction with Nekvinda's decay condition, implies the boundedness of MM even for unbounded exponents. This extends the results of Lerner, Cruz-Uribe and Fiorenza for bounded exponents. We also introduce a novel argument that allows approximate unbounded exponents by bounded ones while preserving the Muckenhoupt and Nekvinda conditions.
