Abstract

In this note we give a new proof of the sharp constant in the weak (1, 1) inequality for the dyadic square function. The proof makes use of two Bellman functions and related to the problem, and relies on certain relationships between and , as well as the boundary values of these functions, which we find explicitly. Moreover, these Bellman functions exhibit an interesting behavior: the boundary solution for yields the optimal obstacle condition for , and vice versa.
