Endpoint Sobolev and BV Continuity for maximal operators, II (1710.03546v1)

Abstract: In this paper we study some questions about the continuity of classical and fractional maximal operators in the Sobolev space $W^{1,1}$, in both continuous and discrete setting, giving a positive answer to two questions posed recently, one of them regarding the continuity of the map $f \mapsto \big(\widetilde M_{\beta}f\big)'$ from $W^{1,1}(\mathbb{R})$ to $L^q(\mathbb{R})$, for $q=\frac{1}{1-\beta}$. Here $\widetilde M_{\beta}$ denotes the non-centered fractional maximal operator on $\mathbb{R}$ with $\beta\in(0,1)$. The second one regarding the continuity of the discrete centered maximal operator in the space of functions of bounded variation BV$(\mathbb{Z})$, complementing some recent boundedness results.
