Lebesgue integration Definition and 24 Threads

Hi, I'm aware of the ##L^2## space of square integrable functions is an Hilbert space. I believe the condition to be ##L^2## square-integrable actually refers to the notion of Lebesgue integral, i.e. a measurable space ##(X,\Sigma)## is tacitly understood. Using properties of Lebesgue integral...

Hi, in the Karhunen–Loève theorem's statement the random variables in the expansion are given by $$Z_k = \int_a^b X_te_k(t) \: dt$$ ##X_t## is a zero-mean square-integrable stochastic process defined over a probability space ##(\Omega, F, P)## and indexed over a closed and bounded interval ##[a...

Hi, friends! Under particular conditions on ##\phi:\mathbb{R}^3\times\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}## - I think, as said here, that it is sufficient that ##\phi\in C_c^1(\mathbb{R}^4)##: please correct me if I am wrong - the following equality holds$$\frac{\partial}{\partial r_k}\int_{\mathbb{R}^3}...

Hello, friends! I know, thanks to @Hawkeye18 who proved this identity to me, that, if ##\phi:V\to\mathbb{R}## is a bounded measurable function defined on the bounded measurable domain ##V\subset\mathbb{R}^3##, then, for any ##k\in\{1,2,3\}##, $$\frac{\partial}{\partial r_k}\int_V...

Dear friends, I have found a derivation of the fact that, under the assumptions made in physics on ##\rho## (to which we can give the physical interpretation of charge density) the function defined by $$V(\mathbf{x},t):=\frac{1}{4\pi\varepsilon_0}\int_{\mathbb{R}^3}...

So I'm studying a course on measure theory and we've learned that the Lebesgue integral of a real function is (loosely) defined as the total area over the x-axis minus the total area under the x-axis. This seems to me to be limited because these areas can both be infinite but their difference...

Is it true in general that if f is Lebesgue integrable in a measure space (X,\mathcal M,\mu) with \mu a positive measure, \mu(X) = 1, and E \in \mathcal M satisfies \mu(E) = 0, then \int_E f d\mu = 0 This is one of those things I "knew" to be true yesterday, and the day before, and the...

Hi everyone, I am studying past analysis prelim exams to take in the fall and have run into one which really has me stumped: Let f be a real-valued Lebesgue integral function on [0,\infty). Define F(x)=\int_{0}^{\infty}f(t)\cos(xt)\,dt. Show that F is defined on R and is continuous on R...

Suppose gn are nonnegative and integrable on [0, 1], and that gn \rightarrow g almost everywhere. Further suppose that for all \epsilon > 0, \exists \delta > 0 such that for all A \subset [0, 1], we have meas(A) < \delta implies that supn \intA |gn| < \epsilon. Prove that g is integrable...

Hello all, Here is my question: Suppose a measureable space (S,\mathcal{S},\mu) with \mu(S) < \infty and f : S \mapsto [0,\infty) , this is not yet sufficient to ensure \int_{S} f d \mu < \infty . Am I correct?

Hello all, I am wondering the implication between almost everywhere bounded function and Lebesgue integrable. In the theory of Lebesgue integration, if a non-negative function f is bounded a.e., then it should be Lebesgue integrable, i.e. \int f d\mu < \infty because we do not take into...

Homework Statement Suppose g(x) = \int_0^x f(t) dt, where f is Lebesgue integrable on \mathbb R. Give an \epsilon - \delta proof that g'(y) = f(y) if y\in (0,\infty) is a point of continuity of f. Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution I know I need to show that f(y) =...

Hello all, I would like to know when the Lebesgue integration w.r.t. a right-continuous function, there would be a series part which takes account of the jump components. Is it true that we require the series to be absolutely convergent? if so, what is the rationale of defining this instead of...

I'm working through some old prelim problems, and one of them has me stumped: "For 0 < \alpha < \beta < \infty, for which positive real numbers p do we have \frac{1}{x^\alpha + x^\beta} \in L^p (0,\infty)

I can't figure out how to use the Green's function approach rigorously, i.e., taking into account the fact that the Dirac Delta function is not a function on the reals. Suppose we have Laplace's Equation: \nabla^2 \phi(\vec{x})=f(\vec{x}) The solution, for "well-behaved" f(\vec{x}) is...

Homework Statement Let (X,\Sigma,\mu) be a measure space. Suppose that {fn} is a sequence of nonnegative measurable functions, {fn} converges to f pointwise, and \int_X f = \lim\int_X f_n < \infty. Prove that \int_E f = \lim\int_E f_n for all E\in\Sigma. Show by example that this need not be...

This is a question from Papa Rudin Chapter 2: Find continuous functions f_{n} : [0,1] -> [0,\infty) such that f_{n} (x) -> 0 for all x \in [0 ,1] as $n -> \infty. \int^{1}_{0} f_n dx -> 0 , but \int^{1}_{0} sup f_{n} dx = \infty. Any idea? :) Thank you so much!

Homework Statement I have a HW sheet here on the dominated convergence theorem and this problem is giving me a hard time. It simply asks to show that \sum_{k=1}^{+\infty}\frac{1}{k^k}=\int_0^1\frac{dx}{x^x} The Attempt at a Solution Well, according the the cominated convergence thm...

Conventions X is a set. \mathcal{A} is a \sigma-algebra. Suppose that I have a measure space (X,\mathcal{A},\mu) and an \mathcal{A}-measurable function: f\,:\,X\rightarrow[0,\infty] All pretty regular stuff. Now, I have a "supposed" measure defined as \nu(E):=\int_E f\mbox{d}\mu for E\in...

Hello, I got a question about a lemma on Lebesgue integration (Riesz-Nagy approach). Let f(x) be a Lebesgue integrable function on interval (a, b). Riesz and Nagy (pg. 50 of Lessons of Functional Analysis) say that if f(x) is not bounded, for all epsilon > 0 we can decompose f(x) into the...

Good day. I am studying Lebesgue integration in Apostol’s Mathematical Analysis. I have learned already (I believe so) the Dominated Convergence Theorem and the Theorem of Differentiation under the integral sign. But Apostol does not introduce the Lebesgue integration by way of a Theory of...

I am looking for some good materials on Lebesgue integrals, especially anything with a geometric / visual flavor. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
