Proposition

Suppose is a complete measure space. Suppose and are s.t. a.e. (almost everywhere). Then if is measurable, is also measurable.

Proof

Let . Then . Consider .

Since a.e., there exists s.t. , and if .

Consider:


Suppose s.t. and .

Since is complete,

and by the measure

Remark:- If is not complete then the proposition may not hold.

Since this is not complete.

, but s.t.

But is complete & so . Consider . Then a.e.

But is not Borel measurable { Borel measurable }

Definition (Lebesgue integrable)

Let be a measure space and be measurable. Then is said to be Lebesgue integrable (or just integrable) if

In this case, the Lebesgue integrable of is defined as

Proposition

If are integrable and are disjoint. Then is integrable on , (when well-defined) and are integrable and

i)

ii)

iii) is finite a.e.

iv)

v) If then

vi) If a.e. then

vii) If & then is integrable

Proof iii) If is not finite a.e. then at least one of the sets

have +ve measure if then

vi) Given a.e. Then , where

Then by ii)
