The regularity of the Hardy-Littlewood maximal function, in both discrete and continuous contexts, and for both centered and noncentered variants, has been subjected to intense study for the last two decades. But efforts so far have…

In this note, we give a new characterisation of Sobolev $W^{1,1}$ functions among $BV$ functions via Hardy-Littlewood maximal function. Exploiting some ideas coming from the proof of this result, we are also able to give a new…

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…

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…

A classical first-order Hardy-Sobolev inequality in Euclidean domains, involving weighted norms depending on powers of the distance function from their boundary, is known to hold for every, but one, value of the power. We show that, by…

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 consider the second best constant in the Hardy-Sobolev inequality on a Riemannian manifold. More precisely, we are interested with the existence of extremal functions for this inequality. This problem was tackled by Djadli-Druet [5] for…

In this note we describe some recent advances in the area of maximal function inequalities. We also study the behaviour of the centered Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator associated to certain families of doubling, radial decreasing…

We study the regularity of the bilinear maximal operator when applied to Sobolev functions, proving that it maps $W^{1,p}(\mathbb{R}) \times W^{1,q}(\mathbb{R}) \to W^{1,r}(\mathbb{R})$ with $1 <p,q < \infty$ and $r\geq 1$, boundedly and…

For $0<\alpha<1$ let $V(\alpha)$ denote the supremum of the numbers $v$ such that every $\alpha$-H\"older continuous function is of bounded variation on a set of Hausdorff dimension $v$. Kahane and Katznelson (2009) proved the estimate $1/2…

In this paper we prove that the Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator is bounded on Morrey spaces $\mathcal{M}_{1,\lambda}(\rn)$, $0 \le \la < n$ for radial, decreasing functions on $\rn$

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 show that the uncentered Hardy-Littlewood maximal operators associated with the Radon measure $\mu$ on $\mathbb{R}^d$ have the uniform lower $L^p$-bounds (independent of $\mu$) that are strictly greater than $1$, if $\mu$ satisfies a…

In this paper we investigate some questions related to the continuity of maximal operators in $W^{1,1}$ and $BV$ spaces, complementing some well-known boundedness results. Letting $\widetilde M$ be the one-dimensional uncentered…

Inspired by a question of Lie, we study boundedness in subspaces of $L^1(\mathbb{R})$ of oscillatory maximal functions. In particular, we construct functions in $L^1(\mathbb{R})$ which are never integrable under action of our class of…

We consider a type of Hardy-Sobolev inequality, whose weight function is singular on the whole domain boundary. We are concerned with the attainability of the best constant of such inequality. In dimension two, we link the inequality to a…

In this paper, we study the existence of extremal functions of the discrete Sobolev inequality and Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequality on lattice graphs. We introduce the discrete Concentration-Compactness principle, and prove the existence…

It is shown that the Hardy-Littlewood maximal function associated to the cube in $\mathbb R^n$ obeys dimensional free bounds in $L^p$ fir $p>1$. Earlier work only covered the range $p>\frac 32$.

In a recent short note the first author gave the first positive result on the higher order regularity of the discrete noncentered Hardy-Littlewood maximal function. In this article we conduct a thorough investigation of possible similar…

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:…
