For every , the fundamental theorem of calculus givesApply this with . Since the integrand is nonnegative, Tonelli theorem permits exchanging the integrals:This is the generalized layer-cake representation.
The layer-cake representation with givesFor each , splitSince and the maximal operator is sublinear,The weak Hardy-Littlewood maximal inequality therefore givesSubstitution into the distribution formula and another application of Tonelli theorem yieldThus the Strong Lp bound for the Hardy-Littlewood maximal function holds with
For the near part, decompose the ball into the dyadic annuliThe definition of the Hardy-Littlewood maximal function then givesFor the far part, Hölder's inequality giveswhere convergence follows from .
If , chooseThe two bounds then have the same size. If , the result is immediate. Consequently the Hedberg inequality isHere the dimensional constant is required for the unnormalized kernel and Lebesgue measure used in the question.
