Theorem 1.1. Fix an index p, 1 < p < ∞ and let w be a weight function on R. Then, (1.1) holds if and only if there exists a constant K > 0 such that

(1.2)

I

for all intervals I ⊂ R with length | I |  π . If (1.2) holds for all intervals I ⊂ R, then w is said to satisfy the A p condition introduced in [3]. Thus, we will say the   1 satisfies the global, but not the weights in Theorem 1.1 satisfy the global A p condition. Observe that w (x) = max 1, 1 1+log |x|

unrestricted A p condition. Global A p may be thought of as a discrete version of the A p condition. Indeed, fix p, 1 < p < ∞, and consider a doubly infinite (weight) sequence { w k }k∈Z , w k  0. The discrete A p condition for such a sequence requires the existence of a constant K > 0 such that

for all m, n ∈ Z with m  n. It is a straightforward exercise to verify that (1.2) for a weight w on R is equivalent to (1.3) for

(k+1)π

the sequence { w k }k∈Z , when w k = kπ w (x) dx, k ∈ Z. Now, it is shown in [2, Theorem 10], that for suitable sequences a = {ak }k∈Z , the discrete Hilbert transform

satisfies ∞ ∞   (ha)n  p w n  C pp |ak | p w k , n=−∞

k=−∞

where C p > 0 is independent of {ak }k∈Z , if and only if (1.3) holds (see [1]). This will be crucial for proving the sufficiency of (1.2) in Theorem 1.1. Also important is the fact that (1.3) implies the existence of C p > 0, independent of {ak }, with ∞ ∞   (pa)n  p w n  C pp |ak | p w k , n=−∞

k=−∞

in which

is the discrete Poisson transform of a = {ak }k∈Z . The latter is readily proved using the methods of [4]. The proof of Theorem 1.1 is given in the next section. In conclusion, we mention that our methods yield the expected: Theorem 1.2. Fix an index p, 1 < p < ∞ and let w be a weight function on R. Then, the weak-type inequality

2. Proof of Theorem 1.1 We begin by showing that a weight w for which (1.1) holds must satisfy the doubling property





w ( y ) dy  C

w ( y ) dy .

(2.1)

I

2I

Here, I ⊂ R is any interval with | I |  π4 and 2I is the interval having the same centre as I and twice the length. j

To this end, set I k,l = [k π4 , (k + l) π4 ], I k = [(2k + j − 1) π8 , (2k + j ) π8 ] and I k,l = I k,l ∩ and j = 1, 2, . . . , min{8, 2l}. We claim



j m=0 [ I k

+ mπ ], for k ∈ Z, l ∈ Z+





w ( y ) dy ≈ I k,l

w ( y ) dy ,

(2.2)

I k+l,l

where ‘≈’ indicates that both sides of the equation are within constant multiples of one another, the constants being independent of k and l. Given (2.2), (2.1) is readily seen to hold. j We will first consider the claim in the case l = 1. Indeed, when x ∈ I k+1,1 (for a fixed k ∈ Z and j = 1, 2),

  π    sin(x − y )  sin( 2 )  j  1 ( D χ j )(x) =  I  = .  dy π   k,1 I k,1 x− y 4 2 j

I k,1

So, we have

I k,1 j

j

Interchanging the roles of I k,1 and I k+1,1 , we get (2.2) for l = 1. In particular, since I k,1 = I k1,1 ∪ I k2,1 and I k+1,1 = I k1+1,1 ∪ I k2+1,1 ,







w ( y ) dy = I k+1,1



w ( y ) dy + I k1+1,1



w ( y ) dy ≈ I k2+1,1

w ( y ) dy + I k1,1



w ( y ) dy =

w ( y ) dy . I k,1

I k2,1

We must choose j so that the difference x − y avoids multiples of π . Indeed, this is achieved by choosing j = j when l is not a multiple of 4 and by taking j = ( j + 2) mod 8 when l is a multiple of 4 (the closest it comes is π8 ). So,

We thus obtain (2.2), since

We are now in a position to prove (1.1) implies (1.2). In view of the doubling properties (2.1) and (2.3), it suffices to show that (1.1) yields
