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…

In this paper we prove a discrete version of Tanaka's Theorem \cite{Ta} for the Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator in dimension $n=1$, both in the non-centered and centered cases. For the discrete non-centered maximal operator $\widetilde{M}…

Let $\mathcal M$ be the uncentered Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator or the dyadic maximal operator and $d\geq1$. We prove that for a set $E\subset\mathbb R^d$ of finite perimeter the bound $\operatorname{var}\mathcal M1_E\leq…

We prove the continuity of the map $f \mapsto (Mf)'$ from $W^{1,1}(\mathbb{R})$ to $L^1(\mathbb{R})$, where $M$ is the centered Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator. This solves a question posed by Carneiro, Madrid and Pierce.

We prove sharp local and global variation bounds for the centred Hardy--Littlewood maximal functions of indicator functions in one dimension. We characterise maximisers, treat both the continuous and discrete settings and extend our results…

We prove that if $f:I\subset \Bbb R\to \Bbb R$ is of bounded variation, then the noncentered maximal function $Mf$ is absolutely continuous, and its derivative satisfies the sharp inequality $\|DMf\|_1\le |Df|(I)$. This allows us obtain,…

We introduce and study the median maximal function \mathcal{M} f, defined in the same manner as the classical Hardy-Littlewood maximal function, only replacing integral averages of f by medians throughout the definition. This change has a…

We study the Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator in the Musielak-Orlicz-Sobolev space $W^{1,\varphi}(\mathbb{R}^n)$. Under some natural assumptions on $\varphi$ we show that the maximal function is bounded and continuous in…

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,…

We study the problem concerning the variation of the Hardy-Littlewood maximal function in higher dimensions. As the main result, we prove that the variation of the non-centered Hardy-Littlewood maximal function of a radial function is…

We establish that the map $f\mapsto |\nabla \mathcal{M}_{\alpha}f|$ is continuous from $W^{1,1}(\mathbb{R}^d)$ to $L^{q}(\mathbb{R}^d)$, where $\alpha\in (0,d)$, $q=\frac{d}{d-\alpha}$ and $\mathcal{M}_{\alpha}$ denotes either the centered…

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…

Let $0<\alpha<d$ and $1\leq p<d/\alpha$. We present a proof that for all $f\in W^{1,p}(\mathbb{R}^d)$ both the centered and the uncentered Hardy-Littlewood fractional maximal operator $\mathcal M_\alpha f$ are weakly differentiable and $…

We study the Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator defined via an unconditional norm, acting on block decreasing functions. We show that the uncentered maximal operator maps block decreasing functions of special bounded variation to functions…
