Abstract

We describe here all those weight functions $u$ such that $Mu\in A_{\infty }\left( Q\right) $ for $M$ the local Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator restricted to a cube $Q\subset \mathbb{R}^{n}$. In a recent paper it is shown that for the maximal operator in $\mathbb{R}^{n}$, $Mu\in A_{\infty }$  implies that $Mu\in A_{1}$; here we see that the same is true for the local $M$ but this imposes a stronger condition for weights in $Q$, that is, for $M$  restricted to a finite cube $Mu\in A_{\infty }$ if and only if $u\in A_{\infty }$. This differs from the case in $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ where there are weights  $u$ not belonging to $A_{\infty } $ such that $Mu$ is in $A_{\infty }$. As an application we get a new shorter proof of a result of I. Wik. We also give a  characterization for those weights in terms the $K$-functional of Peetre.
