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:

“There are many examples of women that have excelled in learning, and even in war, but this is no reason we should bring ‘em all up to Latin and Greek or else military discipline, instead of needle-work and housewifry.”
—Bernard Mandeville (1670–1733)

“In strict science, all persons underlie the same condition of an infinite remoteness. Shall we fear to cool our love by mining for the metaphysical foundation of this elysian temple? Shall I not be as real as the things I see? If I am, I shall not fear to know them for what they are.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“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)
