Proving $epsilon$-$delta$ convergence of Lebesgue integrals just from the definition












3












$begingroup$


I am pretty lost with how to do this.



The problem is to show that, in a measure space $(X,M,mu)$ with a measurable function $f: X to [0,infty)$ such that $int_X f dmu < infty$. Then, for all $epsilon > 0$, there is a $delta > 0$ such that for all $E in M$ if $mu(E) < delta$ then



$$int_E f dmu < epsilon$$



Apparently, I should do this from just the definition, which is



$$int_Efdmu = sup_{0 leq s leq f} int_E s dmu$$
and
$$int_Esdmu = sum_{j=1}^n alpha_j mu(A_j cap E)$$



But I have no idea how to continue

    I forgot to add it! Do you mean $mu(E) < delta$?

    Do you have the monotone convergence Theorem at your disposal? I am asking because using your definition it can be shown in approximately one lecture. Here is a wiki link to that theorem: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/…

If $int_X f dmu =0$, the result is trivial. So suppose that $int_X f dmu >0$ and take $epsilon >0$. We can find a simple function $0 le s le f$ such that $$s = sum_{i=1}^n alpha_i chi_{A_i}$$ where the $A_i$ are disjoint measurable subsets and



$$0 < int_X f dmu - int_X s dmu = int_X f dmu - sum_{i=1}^n alpha_i mu(A_i) le epsilon/2$$



For $E in M$, you have
$$int_E s dmu = sum_{i=1}^n alpha_i mu(A_i cap E) le mu(E) left(sum_{i=1}^n alpha_i right).$$



Now take $delta=(epsilon/2)/left(sum_{i=1}^n alpha_i right)$ and suppose that $mu(E) le delta$.



You have



$$int_E f dmu = int_E (f-s) dmu + int_E s dmu le epsilon/2 + epsilon/2=epsilon$$



as desired.

    There exists a simple function $s=sumlimits_{i=1}^n a_i chi_{E_i}$ satisfying $0leq s leq f$ and



    $$int_X f dmu - int_X s dmu < frac{epsilon}{2}.$$



    For this simple function $s$, it is easy to check that $int_E s dmu leq max{a_i ~|~ i=1,ldots,n }mu(E)$ for all $Ein M$.



    Hence, there exists $delta >0$ satisfying
    $$int_E s dmu < frac{epsilon}{2}$$
    whenever $mu(E) < delta$.



    Therefore, for all $Ein M$ satisfying $mu(E)<delta$, the inequality



    $$ int_E f dmu = int_E (f-s)dmu + int_E s dmu
    < int_X (f-s)dmu + frac{epsilon}{2}
    < frac{epsilon}{2} + frac{epsilon}{2} = epsilon $$



    holds.
