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 $1<p<\infty$. We prove that there exists an $\varepsilon_p>0$ such that for each $f\in L^p(\mathbb{R})$, the centered Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator $M$ on $\mathbb{R}$ satisfies the lower bound $\|Mf\|_{L^p(\mathbb{R})}\ge…

We give a survey, known and new results on the beingness of fixed points of the maximal operator in the more general settings of metric measure space. In particular, we prove that the fixed points of the uncentered one must be the constant…

In this paper we address the following question: given $ p\in (1,\infty)$, $n \geq 1$, does there exists a constant $A(p,n)>1$ such that $\| M f\|_{L^{p}}\geq A(n,p) \| f\|_{L^{p}}$ for any nonnegative $f \in L^{p}(\mathbb{R}^{n})$, where…

The best constant in the usual Lp norm inequality for the centered Hardy-Littlewood maximal function on R1 is obtained for the class of all ``peak-shaped'' functions. A positive function on the line is called ``peak-shaped'' if it is…

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…

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 $…

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…

For a real-valued function $f$ on a metric measure space $(X,d,\mu)$ the Hardy-Littlewood maximal-function of $f$ is given by the following `supremum-norm':…

We prove that the Hardy--Littlewood maximal operator $M$ is bounded on the variable Lebesgue space $L^{p(\cdot)}(X,d,\mu)$, with $1<p_-\le p_+<\infty$, over an unbounded space of homogeneous type $(X,d,\mu)$ with a Borel-semiregular measure…

To every convex body $K \subseteq \mathbb{R}^d$, one may associate a minimal matrix convex set $\mathcal{W}^{\textrm{min}}(K)$, and a maximal matrix convex set $\mathcal{W}^{\textrm{max}}(K)$, which have $K$ as their ground level. The main…

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:…

We precisely evaluate the operator norm of the uncentered Hardy-Littlewood maximal function on $L^p(\Bbb R^1)$. We also compute the operator norm of the uncentered Hardy-Littlewood maximal function over rectangles on $L^p(\Bbb R^n)$, and we…
