Sharp results in the integral-form John–Nirenberg inequality

Abstract

Abstract. We consider the strong form of the John-Nirenberg inequality for the L 2 -based BMO. We construct explicit Bellman functions for the inequality in the continuous and dyadic settings and obtain the sharp constant, as well as the precise bound on the inequality's range of validity, both previously unknown. The results for the two cases are substantially different. The paper not only gives another instance in the short list of such explicit calculations, but also presents the Bellman function method as a sequence of clear steps, adaptable to a wide variety of applications.

Sharp weighted logarithmic bound for maximal operators

“…This approach, called the Bellman function technique, has gathered a lot of interest in the recent literature: see, e.g., [4,[6][7][8][9]11], and the references therein. It is nice that here the Bellman function method not only establishes a logarithmic bound, but it also yields the optimal constant involved.…”

“…The fact t 2 (s) = f /g − F together with (13) imply that the force function F satisfies the following differential equation…”

Sharp Weak Type Inequality for Fractional Integral Operators Associated with d-Dimensional Walsh–Fourier Series

“…Since the seminal papers, the technique has been used in numerous settings: see e.g. [4,15,16,18,19] and references therein.…”
