On relations between weak and restricted weak type inequalities for maximal operators on non-doubling metric measure spaces

Abstract

In this article we study a special class of non-doubling metric measure spaces for which there is a significant difference between the incidence of weak and restricted weak type $(p,p)$ inequalities for the centered and non-centered Hardy--Littlewood maximal operators, $M^c$ and $M$. As a corollary we extend the result obtained in [2].
