Description
The Theory of Lebesgue Measure and Integration deals with the theory of Lebesgue measure and integration and introduces the reader to the theory of real functions. The subject matter comprises concepts and theorems that are now considered classical, including the Yegorov, Vitali, and Fubini theorems. The Lebesgue measure of linear sets is discussed, along with measurable functions and the definite Lebesgue integral. Comprised of 13 chapters, this volume begins with an overview of basic concepts such as set theory, the denumerability and non-denumerability of sets, and open sets and closed sets on the real line. The discussion then turns to the theory of Lebesgue measure of linear sets based on the method of M. Riesz, together with the fundamental properties of measurable functions. The Lebesgue integral is considered for both bounded functions - upper and lower integrals - and unbounded functions. Later chapters cover such topics as the Yegorov, Vitali, and Fubini theorems; convergence in measure and equi-integrability; integration and differentiation; and absolutely continuous functions. Multiple integrals and the Stieltjes integral are also examined. This book will be of interest to mathematicians and students taking pure and applied mathematics.
