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.

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…

Let $A_tf(x)=\int f(x+ty)d\sigma(y)$ denote the spherical means in $\Bbb R^d$ ($d\sigma$ is surface measure on $S^{d-1}$, normalized to $1$). We prove sharp estimates for the maximal function $M_E f(x)=\sup_{t\in E}|A_tf(x)|$ where $E$ is a…

We obtain sharp bounds for the modulus of continuity of the uncentered maximal function in terms of the modulus of continuity of the given function, via integral formulas. Some of the results deduced from these formulas are the following:…

For all $p>1$ and all centrally symmetric convex bodies $K\subset \mathbb{R}^d$ define $Mf$ as the centered maximal function associated to $K$. We show that when $d=1$ or $d=2$, we have $||Mf||_p\ge (1+\epsilon(p,K))||f||_p$. For $d\ge 3$,…
