We study classical weighted Lp→ Lq inequalities for the fractional maximal operators on \Rd, proved originally by Muckenhoupt and Wheeden in the 70's. We establish a slightly stronger version of this inequality with the use of a novel extension of Bellman function method. More precisely, the estimate is deduced from the existence of a certain special function which enjoys appropriate majorization and concavity. From this result and an explicit version of the ``Ap-ε theorem," derived also with Bellman functions, we obtain the sharp inequality of Lacey, Moen, Pérez and Torres.
