 Integral norm for weak Lq

The integral expression for the weak Lq space is homogeneous, positive definite up to equality almost everywhere, and obeys the triangle inequality by integrating $|f+g|\le |f|+|g|$ over each set. Its exponent is $-1/q^{\prime }$, not $-1/q$. The sharp comparison constant with the distribution-function quasi-norm is $q^{\prime }$; the power function $x^{-1/q}$ on $(0,\infty )$ attains that ratio on initial intervals.
