For a Young functionΘwith 0≤α<1,let Mα,Θbe the fractional Orlicz maximal operatordefined in the context of the spaces of homogeneous type(X,d,μ)by Mα,Θf(x)=supx∈Bμ(B)α‖f‖Θ,B,where ‖f‖Θ,B is the mean Luxemburg norm of f on a ball B.Whenα=0 we simply denote it by MΘ.In this paper we prove that ifΦandΨare two Young functions,there exists a third Young functionΘsuch that the composition Mα,ΨοMΦis pointwise equivalent to Mα,Θ.As a consequence we provethat for some Young functionsΘ,if Mα,Θf<∞a.e.andδ∈(0,1)then(Mα,Θf)δis an A1-weight.Keywords Orlicz maximal function,spaces of homogeneous type,weights
