This document provides the problems for Homework 4 in a math analysis course. The homework covers topics including measurable functions, integration, and Banach spaces. It contains 7 problems: 1) proving a sequence of continuous functions converges to a measurable function almost everywhere; 2) extending a continuous function defined on a closed set to the whole real line; 3) proving a function with a measure-zero set of discontinuities is measurable; and 4) showing a sequence of measurable functions converges almost everywhere under a given condition.

Homework 4
Math 114: Analysis II
Measure, Integration and Banach Spaces Due Tuesday, 30 September 2014
1. Let f : R → R be a measurable function. Prove there is a sequence of
continuous functions gn such that gn (x) → f (x) for almost every x ∈ R. (Thus the measurable functions are the ‘completion’ of the continuous functions under pointwise limits.)
2. Let F ⊂ R be a closed set and let f : F → R be a continuous function.
Show that f can be extended to a continuous function on the whole real line.
3. Let f : R → R be a function whose set of discontinuities has measure
zero. Prove that f is measurable. (Hint: use the preceding exercise.)
4. Let fn , f be measurable functions on R, and let
mn (r) = m({x : |f (x) − fn (x)| > r}).
P Suppose n mn (r) < ∞ for all r > 0. Show that fn (x) → f (x) a.e. (almost everywhere).
5. Let f : R → R be a measurable function vanishing outside [0, 1]. Show
that m{x : |f (x) − f (x + t)| > 1} → 0 as t → 0.
6. Let E ⊂ [0, 1] be a set of positive measure. Prove that E contains
a subset that is homeomorphic to the Cantor middle-thirds set. (In particular, |E| = |R|.)
7. Let f : R → R be an integrable function. Prove that
