Let \(\phi\) be a non-negative, increasing, continuous and convex function on \([0,\infty).\) A weight \(\omega\) is said to belong to the reverse-Hölder class \(RH_\phi\) if there exists a positive constant \(C\) such that \[ \int_Q\phi(\phi^{-1}(t/| Q|)\omega(x)C^{-1}m_Q(\omega)^{-1}) dx/t \leq 1 \] for any cube \(Q\subset {\mathbf{R}}^n\) with sides parallel to the axes and \(t>0\), where \(m_Q(\omega)\) denotes the average of \(\omega\) over \(Q.\) The author proved that when \(\phi\) is \(\Delta_2\) and has lower index greater than one, the class \(RH_\phi\) coincides with some reverse-Hölder class \(RH_q,\) \(q>1.\) For more general \(\phi,\) the author also showed that \(RH_\phi\subset A_\infty=\bigcup_{q>1}RH_q\) although the intersection of all these \(RH_\phi\) gives a proper subset of \(\bigcap_{q>1}RH_q.\)
