Abstract

This paper is devoted to studying the mapping properties for the spherical maximal operator \({\mathbf {S}}_G\) defined on finite connected graphs G. Some operator norms of \({\mathbf {S}}_G\) on the \(\ell ^p(G)\), \(\ell ^{p,\infty }(G)\) and the spaces of bounded p-variation functions defined on G are investigated. Particularly, as some special examples of finite connected graphs, the complete graph \(K_n\) and star graph \(S_n\) are discussed.
