Homework problems for math 525, due on 01/31/07. The problems involve understanding and applying concepts related to measurable functions, lebesgue integrals, and hardy-littlewood maximal functions. Students are expected to solve problems from texts by royden and folland, including demonstrating the existence of certain constants and proving relationships between measures and integrals.

Problems from Folland:
Chapter 3, Section 4: problems 25 and 26.
Problem 1. Show that there exists a constant C > 0 such that for every f ∈ L^1 loc(Rn)
m ({x ∈ Rn^ : M f (x) > α}) ≤
α
{x: |f (x)|≥ α 2 }
|f (y)| dy.
Recall that for x ∈ Rn
M f (x) = sup r> 0
m(B(x, r))
B(x,r)
|f (y)| d(y).
Problem 2. Let p ≥ 1, and let f : Rn^ → [0, ∞) be measurable. Let
At = {x ∈ Rn^ : f (x) > t}.
Show that ∫
A 0 ×(0,∞)
tp−^1 χAt (x) dx dt =
0
tp−^1 m(At) dt =
p
A 0
f p(x) dx
Problem 3. For p > 1, define
Lp(Rn) =
f : Rn^ → R :
Rn
|f (y)|p^ dy < ∞
Show that there exists a constant C(p) > 1 depending on p such that
(∫
Rn
[M f (x)]p^ dx
) (^1) p ≤ C(p)
Rn
|f |(x)p^ dx
) (^1) p ,
for all f ∈ Lp(Rn). (Hint: Use problems 1 and 2.)
Problem 4. Let Ln^ denote Lebesgue measure on Rn^ and let μ be a Borel regular measure on Rn. Assume that for all x ∈ Rn
lim sup r→ 0
μ(B(x, r)) ωnrn^
where ωn denotes the Lebesgue measure of the ball of center 0 and radius 1 in Rn. Prove that for any Borel subset A ⊂ Rn μ(A) ≥ Ln(A).
∗Problem. A positive Radon measure μ on Rn^ is said to be a doubling measure if there exist C 0 > 1 such that
μ(B(x, 2 r)) ≤ C 0 μ(B(x, r)), ∀x ∈ Rn^ and ∀r > 0.
For f ∈ L^1 loc(μ) define the Hardy-Littlewood maximal function M f by
M f (x) = sup r> 0
μ(B(x, r))
B(x,r)
|f (y)| dμ(y).
Let μ be a doubling measure on Rn. Show that there exists a constant C > 0 such that for all f ∈ L^1 (μ) and all α > 0,
μ ({x ∈ Rn^ : M f (x) > α}) ≤
α
Rn
|f (y)| dμ(y).
