Abstract: In this paper we prove a discrete version of Tanaka's theorem for the Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator in dimension , both in the non-centered and centered cases. For the non-centered maximal operator $\widetilde{M}$ we prove that, given a function $f: \mathbb{Z} \to \mathbb{R}$ of bounded variation,

$\displaystyle \operatorname{Var}(\widetilde{M} f) \leq \operatorname{Var}(f),$

where $\operatorname{Var}(f)$ represents the total variation of

. For the centered maximal operator

we prove that, given a function $f: \mathbb{Z} \to \mathbb{R}$ such that $f \in \ell^1(\mathbb{Z})$ ,

$\displaystyle \operatorname{Var}(Mf) \leq C \Vert f\Vert _{\ell^1(\mathbb{Z})}.$

This provides a positive solution to a question of Hajłasz and Onninen in the discrete one-dimensional case.
