Exercise 1.3.20 (Basic properties of the Lebesgue integral of the absolutely integrable functions)
Let be absolutely integrable Lebesgue measurable functions. Show that
- 1.
- (translation invariance) for , we have .
- 2.
- (linear change of variables) if is an invertible linear transformation then .
- 3.
- (compatibility with the Riemann integral) if is also (extended via zero support complement) Riemann integrable, then
Answers
- (i)
- By definition we have
Define , and similarly , , . Since all of them are unsigned measurable functions, we can apply Exercise 1.3.15 to obtain
Obviously, for any we have . Thus,
- (ii)
- NOT SOLVED
- (iii)
- In this case we assume that
is real-valued. We start with the Lebesgue integral:
By Exercise 1.3.13 the Lebesgue integral of the unsigned Lebesgue measurable function is equal to the area under its curve. In other words, define and . We then have
Using Exercise 1.1.25 we see that
