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:

    It is hardly to be believed how spiritual reflections when mixed with a little physics can hold people’s attention and give them a livelier idea of God than do the often ill-applied examples of his wrath.
    —G.C. (Georg Christoph)

    We know what boredom is: it is a dull
    Impatience or a fierce velleity,
    A champing wish, stalled by our lassitude,
    To make or do. In the strict sense, of course,
    We invent nothing, merely bearing witness
    To what each morning brings again to light:
    Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)

    The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... “Equality for equals, inequality for unequals”Mthat would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, “Never make equal what is unequal.”
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
