Exercise 1.5.4

Let (X,,μ) be a measure space with μ(X) < , let (f )n be a sequence of measurable functions from X to , and let f : X be another measurable function. Show that if (f )n converges to f in L-norm, then (f )n also converges to f in L1-norm.

By definition, we have

𝜖 > 0N n Nx XE : |f(x) fn(x)| 𝜖 μ(X)

for some null set E B. We then have

|f fn| =E|ffn|dμ+XE|ffn|dμ XE 𝜖 μ(X) μ(XE) 𝜖 μ(X) 𝜖.

Thus, |f fn| can be reduced arbitrarily and consistently after some N , and so (f )n converges to f in L1-norm.
