1 Publicacions Matemàtiques, Vol 42 (998), A STABILITY RESULT ON MUCKENHOUPT S WEIGHTS Juha Kinnunen Abstract We prove that Muckenhoupt s A -weights satisfy a reverse Hölder inequality with an explicit and asymptotically sharp estimate for the exponent. As a by-product we get a new characterization of A -weights.. Introduction and statement of results Muckenhoupt s weights are important tools in harmonic analysis, partial differential equations and quasiconformal mappings. The selfimproving property of Muckenhoupt s weights is probably one of the most useful results in the field. The surprising fact that the weights are more regular than they seem to be a priori was observed already by Muckenhoupt [6]. The same phenomenon was studied by Gehring in [6] where he introduced the concept of reverse Hölder inequalites and proved that they improve themselves. Later Coifman and Fefferman [3] showed that Muckenhoupt s weights are exactly those weights which satisfy a reverse Hölder inequality. Since then reverse Hölder inequalities have had a vast number of applications in modern analysis. An excellent source for all the mentioned results and other properties of Muckenhoupt s weights is the monograph [7]. We are interested in a stability question related to Muckenhoupt s A -class and reverse Hölder inequalities. Suppose that w : R n [0, ] is a locally integrable function satisfying Muckenhoupt s A -condition, (.) w(x) dx c w ess inf B w(x), B Keywords.

2 54 J. Kinnunen for all balls B R n with the constant c w independent of the ball B. Here B is the volume of B. Ifwbelongs to Muckenhoupt s class A,we denote w A ; the smallest constant c w for which (.) holds is called the A -constant of w. Condition (.) can be expressed in terms of the Hardy-Littlewood maximal function, defined by Mw(x) = sup B w(y) dy, where the supremum is over all balls B R n containing the point x. It is easy to see [7, p. 389] that (.) is equivalent to the requirement that Mw(x) c w w(x) almost everywhere with exactly the same c w as in (.). It is clear that (.) imposes a serious restriction on the function. If the A -constant is one, then 0 ( w(y) ess inf w(x)) dy ess inf w(x) ess inf w(x) =0 and hence w is constant. We are interested in the regularity of A -weights as the constant tends to one. It is well-known that A -weights satisfy the reverse Hölder inequality (.2) ( ) /p w(x) p dx c w(x) dx, for some p> and c independent of the ball B. Using (.2) and (.) we see that w p A and w is locally integrable to power p. The question is: how large can p be? If the A -constant is one, then the weight is essentially bounded and it seems reasonable to expect that the degree of the local integrablity increases as the A -constant tends to one. Questions related to the stability of reverse Hölder inequalities have obtained considerable attention in the last two decades, see [], [2], [9], [], [2], [3], [4], [5], [7], [8], [9], [20] and [2]. Our contribution is twofold. First, we present a new and a simple method which gives an explicit and asymptotically optimal bound for p. Second, our proof leads to a new characterization of A -weights (Corollary 2.) which may be of independent interest. Now we are ready to present our main result.
3 A stability result on Muckenhoupt s weights Theorem. If w A with the constant c w, then there is a constant ν depending only on the dimension such that w satisfies the reverse Hölder inequality (.2) whenever (.4) p<+ ν c w. In the one-dimensional case we may take ν = in (.4), see [2] and [], but our proof generally yields a small ν. Our method also allows us to replace balls in the A -condition by cubes. Observe that the bound (.4) for the local integrability of the weight is arbitrarily large provided c w is close enough to one. We remark that using factorization results of [0] and [4], our method gives similar estimates for Muckenhoupt s A p -weights as well. In the one-dimensional case this has been studied by Neugebauer [7]. 2. Characterization of A -weights We begin by showing that every A -weight can be approximated by smooth A -weights. 2.. Lemma. Suppose that w A with the constant c w and let ϕ C 0 (R n ), ϕ 0 with R n ϕdx =. Then w ϕ A with the constant c w. Proof: A direct calculation gives w ϕ(y) dy = w(y z)ϕ(z) dz dy B(x, r) B(x,r) B(x, r) B(x,r) R n = ϕ(z) w(y) dy dz R B(x z,r) n B(x z,r) (2.2) c w ϕ(z) ess inf w(y) dz R n y B(x z,r) = c w ϕ(z) ess inf w(y z) dz R n y B(x,r) c w ess inf w(y z)ϕ(z) dz y B(x,r) R n = c w ess inf w ϕ(y). y B(x,r) This completes the proof. We record a well-known covering theorem.
4 56 J. Kinnunen 2.3. Besicovitch s covering Theorem. Suppose that E is a bounded subset of R n and that B is a collection of balls such that each point of E is a center of some ball in B. Then there exists an integer N 2 (depending only on the dimension) and subcollections B,...,B N Bof at most countably many balls such that the balls B i,j, j =,2,..., in each family B i, i =,2,...,N, are pairwise disjoint and E N i= j= B i,j. For the proof of Besicovitch s covering Theorem we refer to [5, Theorem.]. Some estimates for the constant N are obtained in [8]. Now we show that A -weights satisfy a reverse Chebyshev inequality. This observation is a crucial ingredient in the proof of Theorem.3. For short we denote throughout the paper. E λ = {x R n : w(x) >λ}, λ > 0, 2.4. Lemma. Let B R n be a ball and suppose that w : R n [0, ] is an A -weight with the constant c w. Then there is a constant η, depending only on the dimension, so that (2.5) w(x) dx ( c w + η(c w ) ) λ E λ B, E λ B whenever ess inf w(x) λ<. Proof: Fix a ball B R n. Suppose first that w is a continuous A -weight with the constant c w and that λ inf w(x). Then E λ is open and for every x E λ we take the ball B(x, r x ) where r x is the distance from x to the boundary of E λ. Let B = {B(x, r x ):x E λ B}. The radii of the balls in B are bounded, because B \ E λ. By Besicovitch s covering Theorem, there are families B i = {B i,j : j =,2,...}, i=,2,...,n, of countably many balls, chosen from B, such that E λ B = N i= j= B i,j B and the balls in every B i, i =,2,...,N, are pairwise disjoint. denote the union of the pairwise disjoint balls by Eλ i = B i,j, i =,2,...,N. j= We
5 A stability result on Muckenhoupt s weights 57 The balls B i,j touch the boundary of E λ and, since w is continuous, using the A -condition we get (2.6) w(x) dx c inf w(x) cλ, B i,j B i,j i,j i =,2,...,N, j =,2,... The balls B i,j are not, in general, contained in B, but there is a constant γ>0, depending only on the dimension, so that B i,j \ B γ B i,j B, i =,2,...,N, j =,2,... To see this, let B i,j be the ball B(x, r x ) E λ with x E λ B. Then by geometry, there is a ball B(y, r x /2) B(x, r x ) B. This gives us the estimate B(x, r x ) \ B B(x, r x ) =2 n B(y, r x /2) 2 n B(x, r x ) B. Hence we may take γ =2 n. By observing that w(x) >λfor every x B i,j and recalling (2.6) we see that B i,j B w(x) dx c w λ B i,j B + c w λ B i,j \ B w(x) dx B i,j\b c w λ B i,j B +(c w )λ B i,j \ B ( c w + γ(c w ) ) λ B i,j B, i =,2,...,N, j=,2,... Since the balls in each B i, i =,2,...,N, are pairwise disjoint, we arrive at (2.7) E i λ B w(x) dx = j= B i,j B w(x) dx ( c w + γ(c w ) ) λ E i λ B, i =,2,...,N. Let µ be a measure. Then we use the elementary inequality N N (2.8) µ(e λ B) = µ(eλ i B) µ(fλ k B), i= k=2
6 58 J. Kinnunen where F k λ = {l,...,l k } {,...,N} ( E l λ E l k λ ), k =2,3,...,N. A simple computation using (2.8), (2.7) and the fact that w(x) >λin Fλ k B, k =2,...,N, gives E λ B w(x) dx = N i= E i λ B w(x) dx N k=2 F k λ B w(x) dx (2.9) ( c w + γ(c w ) ) N N λ Eλ i B λ Fλ k B i= k=2 = ( c w + γ(c w ) ) N λ E λ B +λ( + γ)(c w ) Fλ k B k=2 ( c w +γ(c w ) ) λ E λ B +(N )( + γ)(c w )λ E λ B = ( c w + η(c w ) ) λ E λ B, where η = Nγ +N and λ inf w(x). The general case follows from a standard approximation argument using Lemma 2.. Suppose that w A with the constant c w. Let ϕ C0 (R n ), ϕ 0 with ϕdx =. We define w R n ε = w ϕ ε, where ϕ ε (x) =ε n ϕ(x/ε) and ε>0. Lemma 2. shows that w ε is a continuous A -weight with the constant c w for every ε>0. Using (2.9) we see that w ε (x) dx ( c w + η(c w ) ) λ {w ε >λ} B, {w ε>λ} B Letting ε 0 we obtain (2.5). This completes the proof. inf w ε(x) λ< Remark. () Observe that the constant on the right side of (2.5) tends to one as c w tends to one. On the other hand, it blows up as c w increases. (2) We also remark that inequalities of type (2.5) appear already in the proof of Theorem 4 in [3]. However, their approach does not seem to give the correct behaviour as c w tends to one. We observe that (2.5) gives a characterization of A -weights.
7 A stability result on Muckenhoupt s weights Corollary. Suppose that w : R n [0, ] is a measurable function. Then w A if and only if there is a constant c, independent of the ball B, so that (2.2) w(x) dx cλ E λ B, ess inf w(x) λ<, E λ B for every ball B R n. Proof: Lemma 2.4 shows that every A -weight satisfies (2.2). To see the reverse implication suppose that (2.2) holds and let B be a ball in R n. Then w(x) dx = w(x) dx + w(x) dx B B\E λ E λ B λ B \ E λ + cλ B E λ cλ B, ess inf w(x) λ<. By inserting λ = ess inf w(x) weget w(x)dx c ess inf B w(x), B where the constant is independent of the ball and hence w A Remark. In the one-dimensional case we may take the constant in (2.2) equal to the A -constant of w, see []. Lemma 2.4 shows that w satisfies the assumptions of the following sharp version Muckenhoupt s Lemma 4 in [6]. See also Lemma 2 in [2]. The proof of the following lemma can be found in [], but we present it here for the sake of completeness Lemma. Suppose that w : R n [0, ] is a measurable function and let B R n be a ball. If there are 0 and c>such that (2.5) w(x) dx cλ E λ B, λ<, E λ B then for every p, <p<c/(c ), we have (2.6) w(x) p c dx c p (c ) p E B.
8 60 J. Kinnunen Proof: Let β>and denote w β = min(w, β). Then w(x) dx cλ {w β >λ} B, λ<. {w β >λ} B We multiply both sides by λ p 2 and integrate from to. This implies λ p 2 w(x) dx dλ c λ p {w β >λ} B dλ. {w β >λ} B Then we use the equality (2.7) w(x) p dµ = p λ p µ(e λ B) dλ + p µ(e B), where 0 <p<, with µ replaced by wdµ and p replaced by p, to get w β (x) p dx w β (x) p w(x) dx E B =(p ) λ p 2 w(x) dx dλ + p w(x) dx c(p ) {w β >λ} B λ p {w β >λ} B dλ + c p E B. Next we estimate the first integral on the right side using (2.7) and find λ p {w β >λ} dλ = ( ) w β (x) p dx p E B. p Hence we obtain w β (x) p dx c p w β (x) p dx + c p p p E B. Choosing p> such that c (p )/p < and using the fact that all terms in the previous inequality are finite, we conclude w β (x) p c dx c p (c ) p E B. Finally, as β, the monotone convergence theorem gives (2.6). This proves the lemma Remark. Both the bound for p and the constant in (2.6) are the best possible as is easily seen by taking B to be the unit ball and w : R n [0, ], w(x) = x n(/c ).
9 A stability result on Muckenhoupt s weights 6 3. Proof of Theorem.3 Let B be a ball in R n and suppose that w A with the constant c w. Using (2.5) we see that w(x) dx ( c w + η(c w ) ) λ E λ B, ess inf w(x) λ<, E λ B where η is the constant given by Lemma 2.4. This shows that w fulfills the assumptions of Lemma 2.4 and from (2.6) we conclude that w(x) p dx = B w(x) p dx + B\E w(x) p dx B E p B \ E + c p B E c p B, whenever ess inf w(x) < and p<+ (η+ )(c w ). In particular, we get ( ) /p w(x) p dx c w(x) dx. The constant c does not depend on B and hence we may repeat the same reasoning in every ball B and we see that w satisfies the reverse Hölder inequality for every p> such that (.4) holds if we take ν =(η+). This completes the proof of Theorem.3. Acknowledgements. I would like to thank Michael Korey for making valuable comments on early versions of this paper. References. B.
