 Localized uncentered maximal weak-type inequality

For a positive Borel measure on ${\mathbb{R}}^d$, let $E_{\alpha }=\{M_u\nu >\alpha \}$, using open balls in the uncentered maximal function of a finite measure. Every ball witnessing the inequality lies entirely in $E_{\alpha }$. Cover a compact subset by finitely many witnessing balls and select disjoint balls greedily by decreasing radius. Their threefold dilations cover the compact set. Their total measure is at most $\nu (E_{\alpha })$, giving the bound by inner regularity of Lebesgue measure. For a signed or complex measure, apply this to its total variation measure.
