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)

    “My father and I were always on the most distant terms when I was a boy—a sort of armed neutrality, so to speak. At irregular intervals this neutrality was broken, and suffering ensued; but I will be candid enough to say that the breaking and the suffering were always divided up with strict impartiality between us—which is to say, my father did the breaking, and I did the suffering.”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    “A man willing to work, and unable to find work, is perhaps the saddest sight that fortune’s inequality exhibits under this sun.”
    —Thomas Carlyle (1795–1881)
