Given a function f ∈ L1
locRn and a cube Q on R n , let f Q denote the average of f on Q, f Q
1/|Q|Q f xdx We say that f has bounded mean oscillation if there is a constant C such that for any cube Q,

The space of functions with this property is denoted by BMO For f ∈ BMO, define the norm

John and Nirenberg 1 obtained the following well-known John-Nirenberg inequality for BMO
Theorem 1 Let f ∈ BMO and fBMO/ 0 Then there exist positive constants C1and C2, depending only on the dimension, such that for all cube Q and any λ > 0,
x ∈ Q :f x − f Q> λ ≤ C1e−C2λ/ fBMO|Q|. 3
Trang 2Suppose f is a locally integrable function on Rn , Q is a cube, and s is a nonnegative integer; let P Q f x be the unique polynomial of degree at most s such that
Q
f x − P Q fxx α dx 0 4 for all 0≤ |α| ≤ s Moreover, for any x ∈ Q,
P Q fx ≤ A |Q|
Q
where the constant A is independent of f and Q Clearly, A≥ 1
For β ≥ 0, s ≥ 0, 1 ≤ q < ∞, we will say that a locally integrable function fx belongs to the Morrey-Campanato spaces Lβ, q, s if

where Q is a cube Then if f − g is a polynomial of degree at most s, g also satisfies 6 and
divided by such equivalence classes will be denoted by Lβ, q, s, and 6 defines its norm These spaces played an important role in the study of partial differential equations and they were studied extensively Reader is referred, in particular, to2 4 Recently, Deng et al 5 and Duong and Yan6 gave several new characterizations for the Morrey-Campanato spaces
As noted in2, for β 0 and 1 ≤ q ≤ ∞, these spaces are variants of the BMO space For β > 0 and s ≥ nβ, the spaces Lβ, q, s are variants of the homogeneous Lipschitz spaces

In7, we proved a John-Nirenberg-type inequality for homogeneous Lipschitz spaces

s≥ 0 Our main result can be stated as follows
Theorem 2 John-Nirenberg-type inequality Given β ≥ 0 and s ≥ 0, let f ∈ Lβ, 1, s and
that for all cube Q and any λ > 0,
x ∈ Q : |Q| −βf x − P Q fx> λ ≤ C1e −C2λ/ f L β,1,s |Q|. 7

A2n e 1f L β,1,s is also a fixed positive number and for any λ≥ 0,
F f λ b ≤ 1
By induction argument for any k≥ 1, we get
F f
Thus, for λ ∈ kb, k 1b, we have
F f λ ≤ F f kb ≤ e −k F f 0 ≤ ee −λ/b 20
Notice that this inequality is also true for λ ∈ 0, b, due to F f λ ≤ F f 0 1 ≤ ee −λ/b Thus,
for any λ≥ 0, we have

|Q|x ∈ Q : |Q| −βf x − P Q fx> λ ≤ ee −λ/b 21 This concludes the proof of the theorem

which yields the desired inequality
As a consequence of the proof ofCorollary 1, we get two additional results
