Streszczenie
The best constant in the usual $L^p$ norm inequality for the centered Hardy-Littlewood maximal function on $ℝ^1$ is obtained for the class of all "peak-shaped" functions. A function on the line is called peak-shaped if it is positive and convex except at one point. The techniques we use include variational methods.
