We construct the upper and lower Bellman functions for the Lp (quasi)-norms of BMOfunctions. These appear as solutions to a series of Monge-Ampère boundary value problems on a non-convex plane domain. The knowledge of the Bellman functions leads to sharp constants in inequalities relating average oscillations of BMO functions and various BMO norms.
