Characterizations of reverse weighted inequalities for maximal operators in Orlicz spaces and Stein's result (Q343274)

Given a function \(\phi :[0,\infty) \to [0, \infty]\) such that \(\phi(0)=0\), the Orlicz norm is defined by \[ \| f \|_{\phi} = \inf \Big\{ \lambda >0 : \int_{{\mathbb R}^n} \phi (| f(x) | / \lambda) \, dx \leq 1 \Big\}. \] Let \(\eta\) be a Young function. The generalized maximal function associated to \(\eta\) is defined by \[ M_{\eta}f(x)= \sup_{Q \ni x} \| f \|_{\eta, Q}, \] where \[ \| f \|_{\eta, Q} = \inf \Big\{ \lambda >0 : \frac{1}{ | Q |} \int_Q \eta (| f(x) | / \lambda) \, dx \leq 1 \Big\}. \] The authors obtain some necessary and sufficient conditions for which the following reverse inequality \[ \| M_{\eta} f \|_{\phi} \geq C \| f \|_{\psi} \] holds for every positive function \(f\). \textit{H. Kita} [Acta Math. Hung. 98, No. 1--2, 85--101 (2003; Zbl 1062.42009)] proved when \(\eta =t\). They also consider weighted estimates.
