We prove that if a function satisfies a suitable inequality of Poincar\\'e type, then the Hardy-Littlewood maximal function also obeys a meaningful estimate of similar form. As a by-product, we get a unified approach to proving that the maximal operator is bounded on Sobolev, Lipschitz and BMO spaces. As another application, we show that the distributional derivatives of the maximal function of $u \\in W^{1,1}(\\mathbb{R}^{n})$ coincide with some functions in $L^{1,\\infty}(\\mathbb{R}^{n})$ outside a closed set of measure zero. The same property holds for $u \\in {\\rm BV}(\\mathbb{R}^{n})$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-05-17T14:11:52.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "42B25", "46E35", "42B35" ], "keywords": [ "study generalized poincare inequalities", "hardy-littlewood maximal function", "function satisfies", "property holds", "similar form" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 19, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
