The Gurov-Reshetnyak inequality on semi-axes (Q268230)

The author provides an elementary method to study functions from the Gurov-Reshetnyak class on mean oscillation of a function on a bounded interval, which is defined as the set of all nonnegative functions which are locally summable on an interval \(R\) of \(\mathbb{R}\) and such that the Gurov-Reshetnyak condition is satisfied on all bounded subintervals of \(R\) (see [\textit{L. G. Gurov} and \textit{Yu. G. Reshetnyak}, Sib. Math. J. 17, 417--422 (1977; Zbl 0353.26008)]). The author gives sharp limiting positive and negative summability exponents for monotone functions from the Gurov-Reshetnyak class on semi-axis and studies some properties of functions from the Gurov-Reshetnyak class. The techniques and the ideas are simple and the paper is systematically well-organized.
