On the axiomatic approach to Harnack's inequality in doubling quasi-metric spaces (Q1945862)

In this paper the authors prove that critical density and the doubling property imply Harnack estimates. In literature it is known that critical density and the double-ball property imply Harnack estimates. The concepts of doubling property and double-ball property are unrelated. The authors, by using a technique introduced by Caffarelli, first prove that the critical density implies a weak reverse Hoelder property. Then, the Harnack inequality is a consequence of this weak reverse Hölder property and the critical density. This approach is new in literature.
