  "abstract": "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 $Mf$ is a maximal function operator defined over the family of shifts and dilates of a centrally symmetric convex body. The inequality fails in general for the centered maximal function operator, but nevertheless we give an affirmative answer to the question for the uncentered maximal function operator and the almost centered maximal function operator. In addition, we also present the Bellman function approach of Melas, Nikolidakis and Stavropoulos to maximal function operators defined over various types of families of sets, and in case of parallelepipeds we will show that $A(n,p)=\\left(\\frac{p}{p-1}\\right)^{1/p}$.",
