Fatou's Lemma - Examples For Strict Inequality

Examples For Strict Inequality

Equip the space with the Borel σ-algebra and the Lebesgue measure.

  • Example for a probability space: Let denote the unit interval. For every natural number define

f_n(x)=\begin{cases}n&\text{for }x\in (0,1/n),\\
0&\text{otherwise.}
\end{cases}
  • Example with uniform convergence: Let denote the set of all real numbers. Define

f_n(x)=\begin{cases}\frac1n&\text{for }x\in ,\\
0&\text{otherwise.}
\end{cases}

These sequences converge on pointwise (respectively uniformly) to the zero function (with zero integral), but every has integral one.

Famous quotes containing the words examples, strict and/or inequality:

    No rules exist, and examples are simply life-savers answering the appeals of rules making vain attempts to exist.
    André Breton (1896–1966)

    One of the most horrible, yet most important, discoveries of our age has been that, if you really wish to destroy a person and turn him into an automaton, the surest method is not physical torture, in the strict sense, but simply to keep him awake, i.e., in an existential relation to life without intermission.
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)

    However energetically society in general may strive to make all the citizens equal and alike, the personal pride of each individual will always make him try to escape from the common level, and he will form some inequality somewhere to his own profit.
    Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–1859)
