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)

    Row after row with strict impunity
    The headstones yield their names to the element,
    The wind whirrs without recollection....
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    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)
