3. Prove that if f is a real function on a measurable space X such that
{x : f(x) ≥ r} is measurable for every rational r, then f is measurable.
[proof]:For each real number α, there exists an descending sequence {rn}
of rational numbers such that lim
n→∞
rn = α. Moreover,we have
(α, +∞) =
∞⋃
n=1
[rn, +∞).
Hence,
f−1((α, +∞)) =
∞⋃
n=1
f−1([rn, +∞)).
Since sets f−1([rn, +∞)) are measurable for each n, the set f
−1((α, +∞)) is
also measurable. Then f is measurable.
4. Let {an} and {bn} be sequences in [−∞, +∞], and prove the following
assertions:
(a)
lim sup
n→∞
(−an) = − lim inf
n→∞
an.
(b)
lim sup
n→∞
(an + bn) ≤ lim sup
n→∞
an + lim sup
n→∞
bn.
provided none of the sums is of the form ∞−∞.
(c) If an ≤ bn for all n, then
lim inf
n→∞
an ≤ lim inf
n→∞
bn.
Show by an example that strict inequality can hold in (b).
[proof]: (a) Since
sup
k≥n
(−ak) = − inf
k≥n
ak, n = 1, 2, · · · .
Therefore, let n →∞, it obtains
lim
n→∞
sup
k≥n
(−ak) = − lim

k≥n
ak.

By the definations of the upper and the lower limits, that is
lim sup
n→∞
(−an) = − lim inf
n→∞
an.
(b) Since
sup
k≥n
(ak + bk) ≤ sup
k≥n
ak + sup
k≥n
bk, n = 1, 2, · · · .
Hence
lim
n→∞

By the definations of the upper and the lower limits, that is
lim sup
n→∞
(an + bn) ≤ lim sup
n→∞
an + lim sup
n→∞
bn.
example: we define
an = (−1)
n, bn = (−1)
n+1, n = 1, 2, · · · .
Then we have
an + bn = 0, n = 1, 2, · · · .
But
lim sup
n→∞
an = lim sup
n→∞
bn = 1.
(c)Because an ≤ bn for all n, then we have
inf
k≥n
(ak) ≤ inf
k≥n
bk, n = 1, 2, · · · .
By the definations of the lower limits, it follows
lim inf
n→∞
an ≤ lim inf
n→∞
bn.
5. (a)Supose f : X → [−∞, +∞] and g : X → [−∞, +∞] are measurable.
Prove that the sets
{x : f(x) < g(x)}, {f(x) = g(x)}
are measurable.
(b)Prove that the set of points at which a sequence of measurable real-
valued functions converges (to a finite limit) is measurable.
2
[proof]: (a)Since for each rational r, the set
{x : f(x) < r < g(x)} = {x : f(x) < r} ∩ {x : r < g(x)}
is measurable. And
{x : f(x) < g(x)} =
⋃
r∈Q
{x : f(x) < r < g(x)}
Therefore the set {x : f(x) < g(x)} is measurable. Also beacause |f − g| is
measurable function and the set
{x : f(x) = g(x)} =
∞⋂
n=1
{x : |f(x)− g(x)| <
1
n
}
is also measurable.
(b) Let {fn(x)} be the sequence of measurable real-valued functions, A
be the set of points at which the sequence of measurable real-valued functions
{fn(x)} converges (to a finite limit). Hence
A =
∞⋂
r=1
∞⋃
k=1
∞⋂
n,m≥k
{x : |fn(x)− fm(x)| <
1
r
}.
Therefore, A is measurable.
7. Suppose that fn : X → [0, +∞] is measurable for n = 1, 2, 3, · · · , f1 ≥
f2 ≥ f3 ≥ · · · ≥ 0, fn(x) → f(x) as n → ∞,for every x ∈ Xand f1 ∈ L
1(µ).
Prove that then
lim
n→∞
∫
X
fndµ =
∫
X
fdµ.
and show that this conclusion does not follow if the condition ”f1 ∈ L
1(µ)”is
omitted.
[proof]: Define gn = f1−fn, n = 1, 2, · · ·, then gn is increasing measurable
on X for n = 1, 2, 3, · · ·. Moreover, gn(x) → f1(x)− f(x) as n →∞, for every
x ∈ X. By the Lebesgue’s monotone convergence theorem, we have
lim
n→∞
∫
X
gndµ =
∫
X
(f1 − f)dµ.
Since f1 ∈ L
1(µ), it shows
lim
n→∞
∫
X
fndµ =
∫
X
fdµ.
3
[counterexample]: Let X = (−∞, +∞), and we define
fn = χEn, En = [n, +∞), n = 1, 2, · · · .
8. Suppose that E is measurable subset of measure space (X, µ) with
µ(E) > 0; µ(X − E) > 0, then we can prove that the strict inequality in the
Fatou’s lemma can hold.
10. Suppose that µ(X) < ∞, {fn} is a sequence of bounded complex
measurable functions on X ,and fn → f uniformly on X. Proved that
lim
n→∞
∫
X
fndµ =
∫
X
fdµ,
and show that the hypothesis ”µ(X) < ∞”cannot be omitted.
[proof]: There exist Mn > 0, n = 1, 2, · · · such that |fn(x)| ≤ Mn for
every x ∈ X, n = 1, 2, · · ·. Since fn → f uniformly on X, there exists M > 0
such that
|fn(x)| ≤ M, |f(x)| ≤ M on X, n = 1, 2, · · · .
By the Lebesgue’s dominated convergence theorem, we have
lim
n→∞
∫
X
fndµ =
∫
X
fdµ.
[counterexample]: Let X = (−∞, +∞), and we define
fn =
1
n
on X, n = 1, 2, · · · .
12. Suppose f ∈ L1(µ). Proved that to each ε > 0 there exists a δ > 0
such that
∫
E
|f |dµ < ε whenever µ(E) < δ.
[proof]: Since ∫
X
|f |dµ = sup
∫
X
sdµ,
the supremum being taken over all simple measurable functions s such that
0 ≤ s ≤ |f |. Hence, for each ε > 0, there exists a simple measurable function

1. Let {fn} be a sequence of real nonnegative functions on R
1, and con-
sider the following four statements:
(a)If f1 and f2 are upper semicontinuous, then f1 + f2 is upper semicon-
tinuous.
(b)If f1 and f2 are lower semicontinuous, then f1 + f2 is lower semicon-
tinuous.
(c)If each {fn} is upper semicontinuous, then
∞∑
1
fn is upper semicontin-
uous.
(d)If each {fn} is lower semicontinuous, then
∞∑
1
fn is lower semicontinu-
ous.
Show that tree of these are true and that one is false. What happens if
the word ”nonnegative” is omitted? Is the truth of the statements affected if
R
1 is replaced by a general topological space?
[proof]: (a) Because for every real number α,
{x : f1(x) + f2(x) < α} =
⋃
r∈Q
[{x : f1(x) < r} ∩ {x : f2(x) < α− r}]
and f1 and f2 are upper semicontinuous, therefore f1 + f2 is upper semicon-
tinuous.
(b) Because for every real number α,
{x : f1(x) + f2(x) > α} =
⋃
r∈Q
[{x : f1(x) > r} ∩ {x : f2(x) > α− r}]
and f1 and f2 are upper semicontinuous, therefore f1 + f2 is upper semicon-
tinuous.
(c) This conclusion is false. counterexample: for each n ∈ N, define
fn =
{
1; x = rn
0; others
1
which {rn} are the all rationals on R
1. Then {fn} is a sequence of real non-
negative upper semicontinuous functions on R1, moreover we have
f(x) =
∞∑
1
fn(x) = χQ.
But f(x) is not upper semicontinuous.
(d) According to the conclusion of (b), it is easy to obtain.
If the word ”nonnegative” is omitted, (a) and (b) are still true but (c)
and (d) is not. The truth of the statements is not affected if R1 is replaced by
a general topological space.
2. Let f be an arbitrary complex function on R1, and define
φ(x, δ) = sup{|f(s)− f(t)| : s, t ∈ (x− δ, x + δ)}
φ(x) = inf{φ(x, δ) : δ > 0}
Prove that φ is upper semicontinuous, that f is continuous at a point x if and
only if φ(x) = 0, and hence that the set of points of continuity of an arbitrary
complex function is a Gδ.
[proof]: It is obvious that
φ(x) = inf{φ(x,
1
k
) : k ∈ N} ≥ 0
and
φ(x,
1
k
) ≥ φ(x,
1
k + 1
), k ∈ N
For any α > 0, we will prove that the set {x : φ(x) < α} is open. Suppose
that φ(x) < α, then there exists a N > 0 such that
φ(x,
1
k
) < α, k > N.
Take y ∈ U(x, 1
2k
), since U(y, 1
2k
) ⊂ U(x, 1
k
) and then
φ(y) ≤ φ(y,
1
2k
) ≤ φ(x,
1
k
) < α
So we have y ∈ {x : φ(x) < α}. Therefore,
U(x,
1
2k
) ⊂ {x : φ(x) < α}
2
Thus, it show that {x : φ(x) < α} is open. Then it follows that φ is upper
semicontinuous. In the following, we first suppose that φ(x) = 0. for any
� > 0, it exists δ > 0 such that
φ(x, δ) < �
And so for any y ∈ (x− δ, x + δ) we have
|f(x)− f(y)| ≤ φ(x, δ) < �
That is f is continuous at x. Next, provided that f is continuous at x. Then
for any � > 0 it exists k ∈ N satifying
|f(x)− f(y)| ≤
�
2
, ∀y ∈ (x−
1
k
, x +
1
k
)
and so φ(x, 1
k
) ≤ �. It shows
φ(x) = inf{φ(x,
1
k
) : k ∈ N} = 0
Finally, since
{x : φ(x) = 0} =
∞⋂
n=1
{x : φ(x) <
1
n
}
then it shows that the set of points of continuity of an arbitrary complex
function is a Gδ.
3. Let X be a metric space, with metric ρ. For any nonempty E ⊂ X,
define
ρE(x) = inf{ρ(x, y) : y ∈ E}
Show that ρE is a uniformly continuous function on X. If A and B are disjoint
nonempty closed subsets of X, examine the relevance of the function
f(x) =
ρA(x)
ρA(x) + ρB(x)
to Urysohn’s lemma.
[Proof]: Since for any x1, x2 ∈ X and y ∈ E, we have
ρ(x1, y) ≤ ρ(x1, x2) + ρ(x2, y)
Hence
ρE(x1) ≤ ρ(x1, x2) + ρE(x2)
3
and so
|ρE(x1)− ρE(x2)| ≤ ρ(x1, x2)
Therefore, it shows that ρE is a uniformly continuous function on X. In the
following, suppose that K ⊂ V ⊂ X, K is compact subset, and V is open
subset. Define
f(x) =
ρV c(x)
ρV c(x) + ρK(x)
then 0 ≤ f ≤ 1 and f is continuous on X. Moreover, K ≺ f ≺ V .
4. Examine the proof of the Riesz theorem and prove the following two
statements:
(a) If E1 ⊂ V1 and E2 ⊂ V2, where V1 and V2 are disjoint open sets, then
µ(E1 ∪ E2) = µ(E1) + µ(E2),
even if E1 and E2 are not in M.
(b) If E ∈ MF , then E = N ∪ K1 ∪ K2 ∪ · · ·, where {Ki} is a disjoint
countable collection of compact sets and µ(N) = 0.
[proof]: (a) By the proof of the Riesz theorem, there exists a Gδ set G
such that
E1 ∪ E2 ⊂ G and µ(E1 ∪ E2) = µ(G).
Set G1 = V1 ∩ G, G2 = V2 ∩ G, then E1 ⊂ G1, E2 ⊂ G2 and G1 ∩ G2 = ∅.
Therefore
µ(E1)+µ(E2) ≤ µ(G1)+µ(G2) = µ(G1∪G2) = µ(G∩(V1∪V2)) ≤ µ(G) = µ(E1∪E2).
And since
µ(E1 ∪ E2) ≤ µ(E1) + µ(E2),
It shows
µ(E1 ∪ E2) = µ(E1) + µ(E2).
(b) Since E ∈ MF , there exist a sequence of disjoint compact subsets
{Kn} such that
Kn ⊂ E −
n−1⋃
i=0
Ki, m(E −
n−1⋃
i=0
Ki) < m(Kn) +
1
n
, n = 1, 2, · · · ,
which we order K0 = ∅.
4
Set K =
∞⋃
n=1
Kn. Since m(E) < +∞, we obtain that
m(E −
n⋃
i=1
Ki) <
1
n
, n = 1, 2, · · · .
Whence we have
m(E −K) ≤ m(E −
n⋃
i=1
Ki) <
1
n
, n = 1, 2, · · · .
Set N = E −K, then it shows that m(N) = 0 and E = K ∪N .
5. Let E be Cantor’s familiar ”middle thirds” set. Show that m(E) = 0.
even though E and R1 have the same cardinality.
[proof]: According to the construction of Cantor’s set, it shows that the
set E is closed set and
m(E) = m([0, 1])−
∞∑
n=1
2n−1
3n
= 0.
11. Let µ be a regular Borel measure on a compact Hausdorff space
X; assume µ(X) = 1. prove that there is a compact set K ⊂ X such that
µ(K) = 1 but µ(H) < 1 for every proper compact subset H of K.
[Proof]: Define the set
Ω = {Kα : Kα ⊂ X, Kα is compact set with µ(kα) = 1}
then X ∈ Ω. Order
K =
⋂
Kα∈Ω
Kα
Thus K is compact subset. Assume that V ⊂ X is an open set with K ⊂ V .
Since X is compact, V c is also compact. Again since
V c ⊂
⋃
Kα∈Ω
Kcα
then there exist finite sets Kα1 , · · · , Kαn such that
V c ⊂
n⋃
k=1
Kcα
k
5
Because µ(X) = 1 = µ(Kα),
µ(Kcα
k
) = 0, k = 1, 2, · · · , n
and so µ(V c) = 0. We therefore have µ(V ) = 1. Since µ is regular, hence it
shows that µ(K) = 1. By the construction of K, it follows that µ(H) < 1
for any proper compact subset of K. If U ⊂ X is open set with µ(U) = 0, it
follows µ(U c) = 1. U c is compact subset since X is compact, and so K ⊂ U c
by the construction of K. Hence, U ⊂ Kc. It thus shows that Kc is the largest
open set in X whose measure is 0.
12. Show that every compact subset of R1 is the support of a Borel
measure.
[Proof]: Assume that µ is the Lebesgue measure on R1 and K is a com-
pact subset of R1. Define
φ(f) =
∫
K
fdµ; f ∈ Cc(R
1).
Then φ is a positive linear functional on Cc(R
1). By Riesz representation
theorem, there exists a σ-algebra M in R1 which contains all Borel sets in R1,
and there exists a unique positive measure σ on M such that
φ(f) =
∫
R1
fdσ, f ∈ Cc(R
1).
By theorem2.14, it shows
σ(K) = inf{φ(f) : K ≺ f} = µ(K)
σ(X) = sup{φ(f) : f ≺ X} ≤ µ(K)
and so σ(X) = σ(K) = µ(K) < +∞. Therefore, it follows for any measurable
set A ⊂ X,
σ(A) = σ(A ∩K).
That is, K is the support of σ.
14. Let f be a real-valued Lebesgue measurable function on Rk. Prove
that there exist Borel functions g and h such that g(x) = h(x) a.e.[m] and
g(x) ≤ f(x) ≤ h(x) for every x ∈ Rk.
6
[Proof]: Firstly, assume that 1 > f ≥ 0. By the proof of Theorem 2.24
in text, we have
f(x) =
∞∑
n=1
tn(x), ∀x ∈ R
k
and 2ntn is the characteristic function of a Lebesgue measurable set Tn ⊂
R
k(n ∈ N). According to the construction of Lebesgue measurable set, there
exist Borel measurable sets Fn, En(n ∈ N) satisfying
Fn ⊂ Tn ⊂ En; m(En − Fn) = 0; n ∈ N.
Define
g =
∞∑
n=1
2−nχFn; h =
∞∑
n=1
2−nχEn
then g, h are Borel measurable functions on Rk and g(x) ≤ f(x) ≤ h(x).
Moreover, g(x) = h(x) a.e.[m].
Secondly, it is easy that the conclusion is correct for 0 ≤ f < M , and
hence it is also for bounded real-valued Lebesgue measurable function on Rk.
Finally, if f be a real-valued Lebesgue measurable function on Rk and if
Bn = {x : |f(x)| ≤ n}, n = 1, 2, · · ·
then we have
χBn(x)f(x) → f(x), as n →∞.
According to the conclusion above, there exist Borel functions gn and hn such
that gn(x) = hn(x) a.e.[m] and gn(x) ≤ χBn(x)f(x) ≤ hn(x) for every x ∈ R
k.
Take
g = lim sup gn; h = lim inf hn
then g(x) = h(x) a.e.[m] and g(x) ≤ f(x) ≤ h(x) for every x ∈ Rk.
15. It is easy to guess the limits of∫ n

2 dx and
∫ n

x
n
)ne
x
2 ; gn(x) = χ[0,n](1 +
x

Then it is easy that
|fn(x)| ≤ e

|gn(x)| ≤ e

17. Define the distance between points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) in the plane
to be
|y1 − y2| if x1 = x2; 1 + |y1 − y2| if x1 6= x2.
show that this is indeed a metric, and that the resulting metric space X is
locally compact.
If f ∈ Cc(X), let x1, x2, · · · , xn be those values of x for which f(x, y) 6= 0
for at least one y (there are only finitely many such x!), and define
Λf =
n∑
j=1
∫
+∞
−∞
f(xj, y)dy
Let µ be the measure associated with this Λ by Theorem2.14. If E is the
x-axis, show that µ(E) = ∞ although µ(K) = 0 for every compact K ⊂ E.
[proof]:Order
Pi = (xi, yi), i = 0, 1, 2, 3, · · · .
d(P1, P2) =
{
|y1 − y2| if x1 = x2;
1 + |y1 − y2| if x1 6= x2
Since
d(P1, P2) ≤
{
|y1 − y3|+ |y2 − y3| if x1 = x2;
1 + |y1 − y3|+ |y2 − y3| if x1 6= x2
Therefore,
d(P1, P2) ≤ d(P1, P3) + d(P2, P3).
That is d is metric. Take X = (R2, d). Then
Pn → P ⇔ ∃ N > 0, such that if n > N, xn = x; and|yn − y| → 0.
8
and for any 0 < δ < 1,
U(P0, δ) = {P ∈ X : d(P0, P ) < δ} = {P ∈ X : x = x0, and |y − y0| < δ}
U(P0, δ) = {P ∈ X : d(P0, P ) ≤ δ} = {P ∈ X : x = x0, and |y − y0| ≤ δ}
Moreover, U(P0, δ) is compact subset of X. Thus X is locally compact Haus-
dorff space.
In the following, we order the set for f ∈ Cc(X)
Ωf = {x ∈ R : ∃ y ∈ R such that f(x, y) 6= 0}
Let K be the support of f , K is compact. Then there exists finite P1, P2, · · · , Pn ∈
K for any 0 < δ < 1 such that
K ⊂
n⋃
j=1
U(Pj, δ)
and so Ωf = {x1, x2, · · · , xn}. Since
Λf =
n∑
j=1
∫
+∞
−∞
f(xj, y)dy
it is easy that Λ is a positive linear functional on Cc(X). There thus exist a
measure µ associated with this Λ by Theorem2.14. Let E be the x-axis and
0 < δ < 1. Define
V =
⋃
Pi∈E
U(Pi, δ); where Pi = (xi, 0);
it shows V is open and E ⊂ V . For any finite elements P1, P2, · · · , Pn ∈ E, the
set
F =
n⋃
j=1
U(Pj,
δ
2
)
is compact with F ⊂ V . By the Urysohn’s lemma, there exists f ∈ Cc(X)
satisfying F ≺ f ≺ V . So we have
µ(V ) ≥ Λf ≥ nδ.
Hence, it shows µ(V ) = ∞ as n → ∞. Therefore, µ(E) = ∞. Assume that
K ⊂ E is compact, then it is obvious that K is finite set. Take
K = {P1, P2, · · · , Pm}
9
For any 0 < � < 1, define
G =
m⋃
j=1
U(Pj, �)
then g is open and K ⊂ G. By the Urysohn’s lemma, there exists g ∈ Cc(X)
satisfying K ≺ g ≺ G. Since
µ(K) ≤ Λg ≤ 2�
whence µ(K) = 0.
21. If X is compact and f : X → (−∞, +∞) is upper semicontinuous,
prove that f attains its maximum at some point of X.
[proof]: for every t ∈ f(X), define
Et = {x ∈ X : f(x) < t}
Assume that f does not attain its maximum at some point of X. Then it
shows X =
⋃
t∈f(X)
Et. Since f is continuous, Et is open sets. Again since X is
compact, there exists finite ti(i = 1, 2, · · · , n) ∈ f(X) such that X =
n⋃
i=1
Eti .
Take
t0 = max{t1, t2, · · · , tn}
then we have
f(x) < t0, ∀x ∈ X.
But it is in contradiction with t0 ∈ f(X). It therefore is proved that f attains
its maximum at some point of X.

1. Prove that the supremum of any collection of convex functions on (a, b)
is convex on (a, b) and that pointwise limits of sequences of convex functions
are convex. What can you say about upper and lower limits of sequences of
convex functions?
[Proof]: Suppose that α ≥ 0, β ≥ 0 and α + β = 1. Let {fi}i∈I be any
collection of convex functions on (a, b). for any x, y ∈ (a, b), we have
fi(αx+ βy) ≤ αfi(x) + βfi(y), ∀i ∈ I.
It prove that
sup
i∈I
fi(αx+ βy) ≤ α sup
i∈I
fi(x) + β sup
i∈I
fi(y).
So sup
i∈I
fi is convex.
Assume I = N and f is pointwise limits of sequences of convex functions {fi}.
according to the properties of limit, we have
lim
i→∞
fi(αx+ βy) ≤ α lim
i→∞
fi(x) + β lim

fi(y)
That is f(αx+ βy) ≤ αf(x) + βf(y) and so f is convex.
By the definition of upper limits and the conclusion above, it is easy that the
upper limits of sequences of convex functions is convex. But the lower limits
of sequences of convex functions is false.
2. If φ is convex on (a, b) and if ψ is convex and nondecreasing on the
range of φ, prove that ψ ◦ φ is convex on (a, b). For φ > 0, show that the
convexity of lnφ implies the convexity of φ , but not vice versa.
[Proof]: Assume that
x, y ∈ (a, b);α, β ≥ 0and α + β = 1.
Then
ψ ◦ φ(αx+ βy) ≤ ψ(αφ(x) + βφ(y)) ≤ αψ ◦ φ(x) + βψ ◦ φ(y).

and so ψ ◦ φ is convex on (a, b). Since et is nondecreasing convex on R and
φ = eln φ, it shows from the conclusion above that the convexity of lnφ implies
the convexity of φ for φ > 0.
[counterexample]: φ(x) = x2 is convex on (0,∞) but lnφ(x) = 2 lnx is
not convex. Moreover, for φ > 0, it can show that the convexity of logc φ(c > 1)
implies the convexity of φ.

φ(x) +

φ(y)
for all x and y ∈ (a, b). Prove that φ is convex.
[Proof]: According to the definition of convex function,we only need to
prove the case 0 < λ < 1

. Take
E = {

| k = 1, 2, · · · , 2n − 1; n ∈ N}.
For n = 1, it is obvious that

φ(y)
for all x and y ∈ (a, b).
For n = 2, suppose that λk =

Assume that the case
λ =

2n−1
, k = 1, 2, · · · , 2n−1 − 1
is correct. For any λ ∈ E with λ = k
2n
; 1 ≤ k ≤ 2n−1, n ≥ 2, and for all x and
y ∈ (a, b), it shows that
(i)
φ(λx+ (1− λ)y) = φ(

) ≤

φ(x) +

φ(y) = λφ(x) + (1− λ)φ(y)

when k = 2n−1.
(ii)for 1 ≤ k < 2n−1,
λx + (1− λy) =

(

Since k

)y ∈ (a, b) and so
φ(λx + (1− λ)y) ≤ 1

φ( k

φ(y)

φ(x) + 1

(1− k

)φ(y) + 1

φ(y)
= λφ(x) + (1− λ)φ(y)
For any 0 < λ < 1, there exists a sequence {λn} ⊂ E with lim
n→∞
λn = λ.
Thus
φ(λx+ (1− λ)y) = lim
n→∞
φ(λnx + (1− λn)y)
≤ lim
n→∞
(λnφ(x) + (1− λn)φ(y))
= λφ(x) + (1− λ)φ(y)
Therefore, it shows that φ is convex on (a, b).
