Abstract
We characterize the space BV (I) of functions of bounded variation on an arbitrary interval I ⊂ R, in terms of a uniform boundedness condition satisfied by the local uncentered maximal operator MR from BV (I) into the Sobolev space W1, 1 (I). By restriction, the corresponding characterization holds for W1, 1 (I). We also show that if U is open in Rd, d > 1, then boundedness from BV (U) into W1, 1 (U) fails for the local directional maximal operator MTv, the local strong maximal operator MTS, and the iterated local directional maximal operator MTd ○ ⋯ ○ MT1. Nevertheless, if U satisfies a cone condition, then MTS : BV (U) → L1 (U) boundedly, and the same happens with MTv, MTd ○ ⋯ ○ MT1, and MR. © 2007 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
