Abstract

Yano's extrapolation theorem dated back to 1951 establishes boundedness properties of a subadditive operator T acting continuously in Lp for p close to 1 and/or taking L into Lp as p1+ and/or p with norms blowing up at speed (p1)α and/or pβ, α,β>0. Here we give answers in terms of Zygmund, Lorentz-Zygmund and small Lebesgue spaces to what happens if Tfpc(pr)αfp as pr+(1<r<). The study has been motivated by current investigations of convolution maximal functions in stochastic analysis, where the problem occurs for r=2 . We also touch the problem of comparison of results in various scales of spaces.
