Exercise 1.10

Suppose μ ( X ) < , { f n } is a sequence of bounded complex measurable functions on X , and f n f uniformly on X . Prove that

lim n X f n = X f ,

and show that the hypothesis “ μ ( X ) < ” cannot be omitted.

Proof. Let 𝜖 > 0 be given, and let N such that | f n ( x ) f ( x ) | < 𝜖 μ ( X ) for all n N and for all x X . Then, we have

| X ( f n f ) | X | f n f | < 𝜖 .

Now let f n = χ [ 0 , n ] n . Then, f n 0 uniformly, since given 𝜖 > 0 , for all n > 1 𝜖 , we have | f n ( x ) | 1 n < 𝜖 . On the other hand,

lim n X f n = 1 0 = X 0 .
