Norms of averages #
The extended norm of the average of a function is at most the average of its extended norm, and consequently the measure of a set times the norm of the average over it is at most the integral of the norm over it. These are the estimates used to bound a function that has been replaced by its averages on the pieces of a partition, as in the Calderón–Zygmund decomposition.
Both hold without any integrability or finiteness assumption: when the average is not defined it
is 0 by convention.
Measuring the mean oscillation of a function about its own average rather than about a constant
c costs at most a factor 2: ⨍_s ‖f - f_s‖ ≤ 2 ⨍_s ‖f - c‖. So a bound on the oscillation
about any convenient constant gives one about the average, the form used by the John–Nirenberg
inequality.
The average of a function over a set s is also controlled by its average over a larger set
t ⊇ s, at the cost of the ratio μ t / μ s of their measures; together with the factor-2
bound above this compares mean oscillations on nested sets, as in the theory of functions of
bounded mean oscillation. In square mean the comparison with a constant reads
∫_s ‖f - f_s‖² ≤ 4 ∫_s ‖f - c‖² on a set of finite measure; in an inner product space the
factor 4 drops to 1, by the orthogonal splitting
∫_s ‖f - c‖² = ∫_s ‖f - f_s‖² + μ s ‖f_s - c‖². Consequently, on nested sets s ⊆ t, the square
mean oscillation of f inherits any decay from t to s of the square mean oscillation of a
comparison function H, up to the distance ∫_t ‖f - H‖²; this is the comparison step of
Campanato's method.
For a function with values in the Euclidean product ℝ × E, the same splitting in the first
coordinate shows that among the constants (c, 0) the best one is the first coordinate of the
average.
Averages are unchanged when the measure is multiplied by a positive finite scalar. They are also
unchanged by a change of variables that rescales the measure by a constant factor,
such as an affine homothety of a finite-dimensional space with its Haar measure: if a measurable
equivalence e pushes μ forward to a • ν with 0 < a < ∞, then the average of f ∘ e over
e ⁻¹' s with respect to μ is the average of f over s with respect to ν.
Along an increasing sequence of sets V n covering a set s of finite measure, the measures of
the pieces s ∩ V n converge to that of s, and so do the averages of an integrable function, as
used when an inequality proved on each set of an exhaustion is passed to the whole domain.
Since some point of a set lies at or above the average, a set of measure below δ / c, with
c > 0, over which a real function has integral at least δ contains a point where the function
exceeds c. No integrability assumption is needed, since otherwise the integral is 0.
Hölder's inequality also bounds the average by the Lᵖ seminorm on the set, with the
normalizing factor μ s ^ (-1/p), and bounds its q-th power by (μ s)⁻¹ ∫⁻_s ‖f‖ₑ ^ q.
These estimates hold for arbitrary sets, including zero or infinite measure, with only the
exponent restrictions 1 ≤ p < ∞ or 1 ≤ q.

μ s ^ (-1/p) times the Lᵖ seminorm of f on s. At p = 1 this is the
bound by the average of ‖f‖, and the volume factor sharpens as p grows because a larger
exponent controls the mass of s more efficiently. No measurability or integrability hypothesis
is needed, since a function not integrable on s has average zero.

on s, the right-hand side is infinite.

points of s. No integrability is assumed.
The average of ‖f x - f y‖ₑ over pairs of points of s is at most twice the mean
oscillation of f on s.
The square mean oscillation of f on a set s of finite measure about its own average is at
most four times its square mean oscillation about any constant c:
∫_s ‖f - f_s‖² ≤ 4 ∫_s ‖f - c‖².
In a real inner product space, the square mean oscillation of f on a set s of finite
measure about a constant c splits orthogonally:
∫_s ‖f - c‖² = ∫_s ‖f - f_s‖² + μ s ‖f_s - c‖².
In a real inner product space, the average of f over a set s of finite measure minimizes
the square mean oscillation: ∫_s ‖f - f_s‖² ≤ ∫_s ‖f - c‖² for every constant c.
Comparison of square mean oscillations on nested sets. Let s ⊆ t with μ t < ∞, let f
and H be square integrable on t, and suppose the square mean oscillation of H decays from
t to s with factor K ≥ 0, measured about the average of f on t:
∫_s ‖H - H_s‖² ≤ K ∫_t ‖H - f_t‖². Then the square mean oscillation of f decays with the same
factor, up to the distance between f and H:
∫_s ‖f - f_s‖² ≤ 4K ∫_t ‖f - f_t‖² + (4K + 2) ∫_t ‖f - H‖².
