Simple function formula












0














Let $f$ be a simple function in $(mathbb{R},B(mathbb{R}),mu)$.



Can we write $f=sum_{k=0}^nalpha_k.1_{[a_k,b_k]}$ instead of $f=sum_{k=0}^nalpha_k.1_{A_k}$ with $A_kin B(mathbb{R})$?

  • Not in general. There are Borel sets which are not intervals. Take for instance the Cantor set (which is closed, hence Borel). How would you decompose it into closed intervals?

  • I see, but in the proof of Reimann Lebesgue Lemma. they choosed a simple function but they wrote it with intervals instead of just measurable sets

  • Functions of the form $f=sum_{k=0}^n c_k 1_{[a_k,b_k]}$ are usually called step functions, as opposed to simple functions. Depending on the applications, it might be sufficient to consider only them.

  • So using the approximation theorm in $L^1$. there exists a step function $f_k$ such that the limit is $fin L^1$. ?

No. Let $A_0=mathbb Z$. Then $f=1_{A_0}$ has no representation of the form $f=sum_{k=0}^n c_k 1_{[a_k,b_k]}$.
