[SOLVED] A problem based on Fubini's theorem

Homework Statement



Let [tex]1<p<+\infty[/tex] and [tex]f:\mathbb{R}^2\rightarrow [0,
+\infty[[/tex] a measurable function. Set

[tex]f_n=\inf \{f,n\}\mathbb{I}_{[-n,n]\times [-n,n]}[/tex]

and

[tex]F_n(x)=\int_{-\infty}^{+\infty}f_n(x,y)dy[/tex]

Show that

[tex]\left(\int_{-\infty}^{+\infty}F_n(x)^p dx\right)^{1/p}\leq\int_{-\infty}^{+\infty}\left(\int_{-\infty}^{+\infty}f_n(x,y)^pdx \right)^{1/p}dy[/tex]

The Attempt at a Solution



In a somewhat different language, we are asked to show that

[tex]||F_n||_p\leq \int_{-\infty}^{+\infty}||f_n||_pdy[/tex]

Aside from this sad recasting of the problem, I have no lead!

That last inequality looks like the triangle inequality, doesn't it?

Related to A problem based on Fubini's theorem

1. What is Fubini's theorem?

Fubini's theorem is a mathematical principle that allows for the integration of functions over regions in multiple dimensions. It states that the order of integration does not affect the value of the integral.

2. How is Fubini's theorem used to solve problems?

Fubini's theorem is used to solve problems involving multiple integrals, by breaking them down into simpler integrals in one dimension. This allows for easier computation and visualization of the problem.

3. Can Fubini's theorem be applied to any type of function?

Yes, Fubini's theorem can be applied to any continuous function over a region in multiple dimensions. However, the function must satisfy certain conditions in order for the theorem to hold.

4. What are the conditions for Fubini's theorem to hold?

The function must be continuous over the region of integration and the region must be a rectangle or a finite union of rectangles. Additionally, the integral of the function over the region must exist and be finite.

5. Are there any limitations to Fubini's theorem?

While Fubini's theorem is a powerful tool for solving problems, it does have limitations. It cannot be used for all types of functions and regions, and the order of integration may need to be adjusted in certain cases for the theorem to hold.
