The Kakeya maximal operator on the variable Lebesgue spaces
We shall verify the Kakeya (Nikodym) maximal operator $K_{N}$, $N\gg 1$, is bounded on the variable Lebesgue space $L^{p(\cdot)}(\mathbb{R}^2)$ when the exponent function $p(\cdot)$ is $N$-modified locally log-Hölder continuous and log-Hölder continuous at infinity.
