Real Analysis Exercises: 1 The Real Numbers: Sets, Sequences, and Func-Tions 2 Lebesgue Measure

The document contains 3 exercises related to Lebesgue measure and sets. Exercise 1 shows that the measure of set B is greater than or equal to the measure of set A, using countable additivity and the fact that measure is always positive. Exercise 2 shows that the measure of set A is equal to some finite number c, by using countable additivity and the fact that the measure of the empty set is 0. Exercise 3 writes a collection of sets as a countable collection of disjoint sets, and uses countable additivity, monotonicity, and properties of intersections to show that the measure of the union is less than or equal to the sum of the individual measures.

1 The Real Numbers: Sets, Sequences, and Func-


tions
2 Lebesgue Measure
2.1 Introduction
Exercise 1 Since
B = A ∪ (Ac ∩ B)
can be represented as the union of two disjoint sets, we use the fact that we
have countable additivity, so
m(B) = m(A ∪ (Ac ∩ B)) = m(A) + m(∪(Ac ∩ B)
since measure is always positive,
m(Ac ∩ B) > 0
, so m(B) ≥ m(a).

Exercise 2 m(A) = m(A ∪ ∅) = c where c is some finite number. Since


A ∩ ∅ = ∅ these sets are mutually disjoint, since we assume countable additivity,
we get
m(A) = m(A ∪ ∅) = m(A) + m(∅) = c
giving us c + m(∅) = c. Since c is finite, we are able to subtract both sides by
c, and get our desired result.

Exercise 3 We write {Ek }∞


k=1 as a collection of disjoint sets. Since
[∞ [∞ [
Ek = (Ek ∩( Ej )c )
k=1 k=1 j6=k

is a countable collection off disjoint sets, of measure


[∞ [∞ [ ∞
X [
m( Ek ) = m( (Ek ∩( Ej )c )) = m(Ek ∩( Ej )c )
k=1 k=1 j6=k j6=k
k=1

Since Ek ∩( j6=k Ej )c ⊂ Ek , by monotonicity, m(Ek ∩( j6=k Ej )c ) ≤ m(Ek ), so
