Abstract

Let M,NM,N be real-valued martingales such that NN is differentially subordinate to MM. The paper contains the proofs of the following weak-type inequalities: (i) If M0M\geq0 and 0<p10<p\leq1, then Np,2Mp\Vert N\Vert_{p,\infty}\leq2\Vert M\Vert_p and the constant is the best possible. (ii) If M0M\geq0 and p2p\geq2, then Np,p2(p1)1/pMp\Vert N\Vert_{p,\infty}\leq\frac{p}{2}(p-1)^{-1/p}\Vert M\Vert_p and the constant is the best possible. (iii) If 1p21\leq p\leq2 and MM and NN are orthogonal, then Np,KpMp,\Vert N\Vert_{p,\infty}\leq K_p\Vert M\Vert_p, where Kpp=1Γ(p+1)(π2)p11+1/32+1/52+1/72+...11/3p+1+1/5p+11/7p+1+....K_p^p=\frac{1}{\Gamma(p+1)}\cdot\biggl(\frac{\pi}{2}\biggr)^{p-1}\cdot\frac{1+1/3^2+1/5^2+1/7^2+...}{1-1/3^{p+1}+1/5^ {p+1}-1/7^{p+1}+...}. The constant is the best possible. We also provide related estimates for harmonic functions on Euclidean domains.
