A Lebesgue measurable function is a measurable function : (,) (,), where is the -algebra of Lebesgue measurable sets, and is the Borel algebra on the complex numbers. Lebesgue measurable functions are of interest in mathematical analysis because they can be integrated.
The vector space of (equivalence classes of) measurable functions on (,,) is denoted (,,) (Kalton, Peck & Roberts 1984). By definition, it contains all the , and is equipped with the topology of convergence in measure.
If X = [a,b] ⊆ R and μ is Lebesgue measure, there are sequences (g n) of step functions and (h n) of continuous functions converging globally in measure to f. If f and f n (n ∈ N) are in L p (μ) for some p > 0 and (f n) converges to f in the p-norm, then (f n) converges to f globally in measure. The converse is false.
The classical definition of a locally integrable function involves only measure theoretic and topological [4] concepts and can be carried over abstract to complex-valued functions on a topological measure space (X, Σ, μ): [5] however, since the most common application of such functions is to distribution theory on Euclidean spaces, [2] all ...
is a function space.Its elements are the essentially bounded measurable functions. [2]More precisely, is defined based on an underlying measure space, (,,). Start with the set of all measurable functions from to which are essentially bounded, that is, bounded except on a set of measure zero.
Let (,,) be a measure space, i.e. : [,] is a set function such that () = and is countably-additive. All functions considered in the sequel will be functions :, where = or .We adopt the following definitions according to Bogachev's terminology.
An equivalent definition is to say that the square of the function itself (rather than of its absolute value) is Lebesgue integrable.For this to be true, the integrals of the positive and negative portions of the real part must both be finite, as well as those for the imaginary part.
The integral of a non-negative general measurable function is then defined as an appropriate supremum of approximations by simple functions, and the integral of a (not necessarily positive) measurable function is the difference of two integrals of non-negative measurable functions.
