We show that a function $ f $ of bounded variation satisfies $$ \Var Mf \leq C \Var f $$ where $ Mf $ is the centered Hardy-Littlewood maximal function of $ f $. Consequently, the operator $ f \mapsto (Mf)' $ is bounded from $ W^{1,1}(R) $…

Let $M$ denote the centered Hardy--Littlewood operator on $\mathbb{R}$. We prove that \[ {\rm Var} (Mf)\le {\rm Var} (f) - \frac12\big| |f(\infty)|-|f(-\infty)|\big| \] for piecewise constant functions $f$ with nonzero and zero values…

We study regularity of the centered Hardy--Littlewood maximal function $M f$ of a function $f$ of bounded variation in $\mathbb R^d$, $d\in \mathbb N$. In particular, we show that at $|D^c f|$-a.e. point $x$ where $f$ has a non-concave…

In this paper we present a proof of sharp boundedness of the discrete 1-dimensional Hardy-Littlewood nontangential maximal operator, when the parameter is in the range $[\frac{1}{3},+\infty)$. This generalizes a theorem by Bober, Carneiro,…

For $1<p<\infty$ and $M$ the centered Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator on $\mathbb{R}$, we consider whether there is some $\varepsilon=\varepsilon(p)>0$ such that $\|Mf\|_p\ge (1+\varepsilon)||f||_p$. We prove this for $1<p<2$. For $2\le…
