Borel sets. Need to prove.












-2














I need to prove that set $(1,4)$ is Borel set. Actually, I have no idea how to do it. I was looking for theory. And find something.



Let $I={(1,4), a<b, text{ and } a,b in R}$
Than $(1,4)= cup_{n=1}^infty (1, 4-frac{1}{n}], a<b$.



and it is a proof? How I should prove it?

  • What is your definition of Borel set? It seems that you think of them as elements of $sigma$-algebra generated left-open/right-closed intervals like $(a,b]$. Then what you mention is indeed a proof that $(1,4)$ is a Borel set. That "definition" is okay, but it is better to define them as elements of $sigma$-algebra generated by open sets (as you meet in the answer of Fred). Then your definition becomes a theorem. If it is unclear which definition is practicized then it is not possible to recognize "proofs".
