Maximal Function Characterizations of Hardy Spaces on ${\mathbb{R}}^{n}$ with Pointwise Variable Anisotropy

Abstract

In 2011, Dekel et al. developed highly geometric Hardy spaces $H^p(\Theta)$, for the full range $0<p\leq 1$, which are constructed by continuous multi-level ellipsoid covers $\Theta$ of $\mathbb{R}^n$ with high anisotropy in the sense that the ellipsoids can change shape rapidly from point to point and from level to level. In this article, if the cover $\Theta$ is pointwise continuous, then the authors further obtain some real-variable characterizations of $H^p(\Theta)$ in terms of the radial, the non-tangential and the tangential maximal functions, which generalize the known results on the anisotropic Hardy spaces of Bownik.
