Given a sublinear operator T satisfying that
\\T chi(A)\\(Lp(v)) less than or equal to C/p - 1 \\chi(A)\\(Lp(mu)),
foe every measurable set A and every 1 < p less than or equal to p(0), with
C independent of A and p, we show that
r>0sup integral(1/r)((x)) lambda(Tj)(v) (y) dy/1 + log(+) r less than or si
milar to integral(M) \f(X)\ (1 + log(+) \f(x)\) d mu(x).
This estimate allows us to improve Yano's extrapolation theorem and also to
obtain that for every f epsilon L log L(mu),
r -->infinity lim integral(1/r)(infinity) lambda(Tf)(v)(y) dy/log r less th
an or similar to \\f\\(I).
Other types of extrapolation results are also given. (C) 2000 Academic Pres
