Integration on Complex Valued Function

Let $(X, \mathscr{F}, \mu)$ be a measure space, and $E \in \mathscr{F}$.

정의.

  1. A complex valued function $f = u + iv$, (where $u, v$ are real functions) is measurable if $u$ and $v$ are both measurable.

  2. For a complex function $f$,

    \[f \in \mathcal{L}^{1}(E, \mu) \iff \int _ E \left\lvert f \right\rvert \,d{\mu} < \infty \iff u, v \in \mathcal{L}^{1}(E, \mu).\]
  3. If $f = u + iv \in \mathcal{L}^{1}(E, \mu)$, we define

    \[\int _ E f \,d{\mu} = \int _ E u \,d{\mu} + i\int _ E v \,d{\mu}.\]

참고.

  1. Linearity also holds for complex valued functions. For $f _ 1, f _ 2 \in \mathcal{L}^{1}(\mu)$ and $\alpha \in \mathbb{C}$,

    \[\int _ E \left( f _ 1 + \alpha f _ 2 \right) \,d{\mu} = \int _ E f _ 1 \,d{\mu} + \alpha \int _ E f _ 2 \,d{\mu}.\]
  2. Choose $c \in \mathbb{C}$ and $\left\lvert c \right\rvert = 1$ such that $\displaystyle c \int _ E f \,d{\mu} \geq 0$. This is possible since multiplying by $c$ is equivalent to a rotation.

Now set $cf = u + vi$ where $u, v$ are real functions and the integral of $v$ over $E$ is $0$. Then,

\[\begin{aligned} \left\lvert \int _ E f \,d{\mu} \right\rvert & = c \int _ E f\,d{\mu} = \int _ E u \,d{\mu} \\ & \leq \int _ E (u^2+v^2)^{1/2} \,d{\mu} \\ & = \int _ E \left\lvert cf \right\rvert \,d{\mu} = \int _ E \left\lvert f \right\rvert \,d{\mu}. \end{aligned}\]

Functions of Class $\mathcal{L}^{p}$

$\mathcal{L}^p$ Space

Assume that $(X, \mathscr{F}, \mu)$ is given and $X = E$.

정의. ($\mathcal{L}^{p}$) A complex function $f$ is in $\mathcal{L}^{p}(\mu)$ if $f$ is measurable and $\displaystyle\int _ E \left\lvert f \right\rvert ^p \,d{\mu} < \infty$.

정의. ($\mathcal{L}^{p}$-norm) $\mathcal{L}^{p}$-norm of $f$ is defined as

\[\left\lVert f \right\rVert _ p = \left[\int _ E \left\lvert f \right\rvert ^p \,d{\mu} \right]^{1/p}.\]

Inequalities

정리. (Young Inequality) For $a, b \geq 0$, if $p > 1$ and $1/p + 1/q = 1$, then

\[ab \leq \frac{a^p}{p} + \frac{b^q}{q}.\]

증명. From $1/p + 1/q = 1$, $p - 1 = \frac{1}{q - 1}$. The graph $y = x^{p - 1}$ is equal to the graph of $x = y^{q - 1}$. Sketch the graph on the $xy$-plane and consider the area bounded by $x = 0$, $x = a$, $y = 0$, $y = b$. Then we directly see that

\[\int _ 0^a x^{p-1} \,d{x} + \int _ 0^b y^{q-1} \,d{y} \geq ab,\]

with equality when $a^p = b^q$. Evaluating the integral gives the desired inequality.

참고. For $\mathscr{F}$-measurable $f, g$ on $X$,

\[\left\lvert fg \right\rvert \leq \frac{\left\lvert f \right\rvert ^p}{p} + \frac{\left\lvert g \right\rvert ^q}{q} \implies \left\lVert fg \right\rVert _ 1 \leq \frac{\left\lVert f \right\rVert _ p^p}{p} + \frac{\left\lVert g \right\rVert _ q^q}{q}\]

by Young inequality. In particular, if $\left\lVert f \right\rVert _ p = \left\lVert g \right\rVert _ q = 1$, then $\left\lVert fg \right\rVert _ 1 \leq 1$.

정리. (Hölder Inequality) Let $1 < p < \infty$ and $\displaystyle\frac{1}{p} + \frac{1}{q} = 1$. If $f, g$ are measurable,

\[\left\lVert fg \right\rVert _ 1 \leq \left\lVert f \right\rVert _ p \left\lVert g \right\rVert _ q.\]

So if $f \in \mathcal{L}^{p}(\mu)$ and $g \in \mathcal{L}^{q}(\mu)$, then $fg \in \mathcal{L}^{1}(\mu)$.

증명. If $\left\lVert f \right\rVert _ p = 0$ or $\left\lVert g \right\rVert _ q = 0$ then $f = 0$ a.e. or $g = 0$ a.e. So $fg = 0$ a.e. and $\left\lVert fg \right\rVert _ 1 = 0$.

Now suppose that $\left\lVert f \right\rVert _ p > 0$ and $\left\lVert g \right\rVert _ q > 0$. By the remark above, the result directly follows from

\[\left\lVert \frac{f}{\left\lVert f \right\rVert _ p} \cdot \frac{g}{\left\lVert g \right\rVert _ q} \right\rVert _ 1 \leq 1.\]

정리. (Minkowski Inequality) For $1 \leq p < \infty$, if $f, g$ are measurable, then

\[\left\lVert f + g \right\rVert _ p \leq \left\lVert f \right\rVert _ p + \left\lVert g \right\rVert _ p.\]

증명. If $f, g \notin \mathcal{L}^{p}$, the right hand side is $\infty$ and we are done. For $p = 1$, the equality is equivalent to the triangle inequality. Also if $\left\lVert f + g \right\rVert _ p = 0$, the inequality holds trivially. We suppose that $p > 1$, $f, g \in \mathcal{L}^p$ and $\left\lVert f+g \right\rVert _ p > 0$.

Let $q = \frac{p}{p-1}$. Since

\[\begin{aligned} \left\lvert f + g \right\rvert ^p & = \left\lvert f + g \right\rvert \cdot \left\lvert f + g \right\rvert ^{p - 1} \\ & \leq \bigl(\left\lvert f \right\rvert + \left\lvert g \right\rvert \bigr) \left\lvert f + g \right\rvert ^{p-1}, \end{aligned}\]

we have

\[\begin{aligned} \int \left\lvert f+g \right\rvert ^p & \leq \int \left\lvert f \right\rvert \cdot \left\lvert f+g \right\rvert ^{p-1} + \int \left\lvert g \right\rvert \cdot \left\lvert f+g \right\rvert ^{p-1} \\ & \leq \left( \int \left\lvert f \right\rvert ^p \right)^{1/p}\left( \int \left\lvert f+g \right\rvert ^{(p-1)q} \right)^{1/q} \\ & \quad + \left( \int \left\lvert q \right\rvert ^p \right)^{1/p}\left( \int \left\lvert f+g \right\rvert ^{(p-1)q} \right)^{1/q} \\ & = \left( \left\lVert f \right\rVert _ p + \left\lVert g \right\rVert _ p \right) \left( \int \left\lvert f+g \right\rvert ^p \right)^{1/q}. \end{aligned}\]

Since $\left\lVert f + g \right\rVert _ p^p > 0$, we have

\[\begin{aligned} \left\lVert f + g \right\rVert _ p & = \left( \int \left\lvert f+g \right\rvert ^p \right)^{1/p} \\ & = \left( \int \left\lvert f+g \right\rvert ^p \right)^{1 - \frac{1}{q}} \\ & \leq \left\lVert f \right\rVert _ p + \left\lVert g \right\rVert _ p. \end{aligned}\]

정의. $f \sim g \iff f = g$ $\mu$-a.e. and define

\[[f] = \left\lbrace g : f \sim g\right\rbrace.\]

We treat $[f]$ as an element in $\mathcal{L}^{p}(X, \mu)$, and write $f = [f]$.

참고.

  1. We write $\left\lVert f \right\rVert _ p = 0 \iff f = [0] = 0$ in the sense that $f = 0$ $\mu$-a.e.

  2. Now $\lVert \cdot \rVert _ p$ is a norm in $\mathcal{L}^{p}(X, \mu)$ so $d(f, g) = \left\lVert f - g \right\rVert _ p$ is a metric in $\mathcal{L}^{p}(X, \mu)$.

Completeness of $\mathcal{L}^p$

Now we have a function space, so we are interested in its completeness.

정의. (Convergence in $\mathcal{L}^p$) Let $f, f _ n \in \mathcal{L}^{p}(\mu)$.

  1. $f _ n \rightarrow f$ in $\mathcal{L}^p(\mu) \iff \left\lVert f _ n-f \right\rVert _ p \rightarrow 0$ as $n \rightarrow\infty$.

  2. $\left( f _ n \right) _ {n=1}^\infty$ is a Cauchy sequence in $\mathcal{L}^{p}(\mu)$ if and only if

$\forall \epsilon > 0$, $\exists\,N > 0$ such that $n, m \geq N \implies \left\lVert f _ n-f _ m \right\rVert _ p < \epsilon$.

도움정리. Let $\left( g _ n \right)$ be a sequence of measurable functions. Then,

\[\left\lVert \sum _ {n=1}^{\infty} \left\lvert g _ n \right\rvert \right\rVert _ p \leq \sum _ {n=1}^{\infty} \left\lVert g _ n \right\rVert _ p.\]

Thus, if $\displaystyle\sum _ {n=1}^{\infty} \left\lVert g _ n \right\rVert _ p < \infty$, then $\displaystyle\sum _ {n=1}^{\infty} \left\lvert g _ n \right\rvert < \infty$ $\mu$-a.e. So $\displaystyle\sum _ {n=1}^{\infty} g _ n < \infty$ $\mu$-a.e.

증명. By monotone convergence theorem and Minkowski inequality,

\[\begin{aligned} \left\lVert \sum _ {n=1}^{\infty} \left\lvert g _ n \right\rvert \right\rVert _ p & = \lim _ {m \rightarrow\infty} \left\lVert \sum _ {n=1}^{m} \left\lvert g _ n \right\rvert \right\rVert _ p \\ & \leq \lim _ {n \rightarrow\infty} \sum _ {n=1}^{m} \left\lVert g _ n \right\rVert _ p \\ & = \sum _ {n=1}^{\infty} \left\lVert g _ n \right\rVert _ p < \infty. \end{aligned}\]

Thus $\displaystyle\sum _ {n=1}^{\infty} \left\lvert g _ n \right\rvert < \infty$ $\mu$-a.e. and $\displaystyle\sum _ {n=1}^{\infty} g _ n < \infty$ $\mu$-a.e. by absolute convergence.

정리. (Fischer) Suppose $\left( f _ n \right)$ is a Cauchy sequence in $\mathcal{L}^{p}(\mu)$. Then there exists $f \in \mathcal{L}^{p}(\mu)$ such that $f _ n \rightarrow f$ in $\mathcal{L}^{p}(\mu)$.

증명. We construct $\left( n _ k \right)$ by the following procedure.

$\exists\,n _ 1 \in \mathbb{N}$ such that $\left\lVert f _ m - f _ {n _ 1} \right\rVert _ p < \frac{1}{2}$ for all $m \geq n _ 1$.

$\exists\,n _ 2 \in \mathbb{N}$ such that $\left\lVert f _ m - f _ {n _ 2} \right\rVert _ p < \frac{1}{2^2}$ for all $m \geq n _ 2$.

Then, $\exists\,1 \leq n _ 1 < n _ 2 < \cdots < n _ k$ such that $\left\lVert f _ m - f _ {n _ k} \right\rVert _ p < \frac{1}{2^k}$ for $m \geq n _ k$.

Since $\displaystyle\left\lVert f _ {n _ {k+1}} - f _ {n _ k} \right\rVert _ p < \frac{1}{2^k}$, we have

\[\sum _ {k=1}^{\infty} \left\lVert f _ {n _ {k+1}} - f _ {n _ k} \right\rVert _ p < \infty.\]

By the above lemma, $\sum \left\lvert f _ {n _ {k+1}} - f _ {n _ k} \right\rvert$ and $\sum (f _ {n _ {k+1}} - f _ {n _ k})$ are finite. Let $f _ {n _ 0} \equiv 0$. Then as $m \rightarrow\infty$,

\[f _ {n _ {m+1}} = \sum _ {k=0}^{m} \left( f _ {n _ {k+1}} - f _ {n _ k} \right)\]

converges $\mu$-a.e. Take $N \in \mathscr{F}$ with $\mu(N) = 0$ such that $f _ {n _ k}$ converges on $X \setminus N$. Let

\[f(x) = \begin{cases} \displaystyle\lim _ {k \rightarrow\infty} f _ {n _ k} (x) & (x \in X \setminus N) \\ 0 & (x\in N) \end{cases}\]

then $f$ is measurable. Using the convergence,

\[\begin{aligned} \left\lVert f - f _ {n _ m} \right\rVert _ p & = \left\lVert \sum _ {k=m}^{\infty} \left( f _ {n _ {k+1}} (x) - f _ {n _ k}(x) \right) \right\rVert _ p \\ & \leq \left\lVert \sum _ {k=m}^{\infty} \left\lvert f _ {n _ {k+1}} (x) - f _ {n _ k}(x) \right\rvert \right\rVert _ p \\ & \leq \sum _ {k=m}^{\infty} \left\lVert f _ {n _ {k+1}} - f _ {n _ k} \right\rVert _ p \leq 2^{-m} \end{aligned}\]

by the choice of $f _ {n _ k}$. So $f _ {n _ k} \rightarrow f$ in $\mathcal{L}^{p}(\mu)$. Also, $f = (f - f _ {n _ k}) + f _ {n _ k} \in \mathcal{L}^{p}(\mu)$.

Let $\epsilon > 0$ be given. Since $\left( f _ n \right)$ is a Cauchy sequence in $\mathcal{L}^{p}$, $\exists\,N \in \mathbb{N}$ such that for all $n, m \geq N$, $\left\lVert f _ n - f _ m \right\rVert < \frac{\epsilon}{2}$. Note that $n _ k \geq k$, so $n _ k \geq N$ if $k \geq N$. Choose $N _ 1 \geq N$ such that for $k \geq N$, $\left\lVert f - f _ {n _ k} \right\rVert _ p < \frac{\epsilon}{2}$. Then for all $k \geq N _ 1$,

\[\left\lVert f - f _ k \right\rVert _ p \leq \left\lVert f - f _ {n _ k} \right\rVert _ p + \left\lVert f _ {n _ k} - f _ k \right\rVert _ p < \frac{\epsilon}{2} + \frac{\epsilon}{2} = \epsilon.\]

참고. $\mathcal{L}^{p}$ is a complete normed vector space, also known as Banach space.

정리. $C[a, b]$ is a dense subset of $\mathcal{L}^{p}[a, b]$. That is, for every $f \in \mathcal{L}^{p}[a, b]$ and $\epsilon > 0$, $\exists\,g \in C[a, b]$ such that $\left\lVert f - g \right\rVert _ p < \epsilon$.

증명. Let $A$ be a closed subset in $[a, b]$, and consider a distance function

\[d(x, A) = \inf _ {y\in A} \left\lvert x - y \right\rvert , \quad x \in [a, b].\]

Since $d(x, A) \leq \left\lvert x - z \right\rvert \leq \left\lvert x - y \right\rvert + \left\lvert y - z \right\rvert$ for all $z \in A$, taking infimum over $z \in A$ gives $d(x, A) \leq \left\lvert x - y \right\rvert + d(y, A)$. So

\[\left\lvert d(x, A) - d(y, A) \right\rvert \leq \left\lvert x - y \right\rvert ,\]

and $d(x, A)$ is continuous. If $d(x, A) = 0$, $\exists\,x _ n \in A$ such that $\left\lvert x _ n - x \right\rvert \rightarrow d(x, A) = 0$. Since $A$ is closed, $x \in A$. We know that $x \in A \iff d(x, A) = 0$.

Let

\[g _ n(x) = \frac{1}{1 + n d(x, A)}.\]

$g _ n$ is continuous, $g _ n(x) = 1$ if and only if $x \in A$. Also for all $x \in [a, b] \setminus A$, $g _ n(x) \rightarrow 0$ as $n \rightarrow\infty$. By Lebesgue’s dominated convergence theorem,

\[\begin{aligned} \left\lVert g _ n - \chi _ A \right\rVert _ p^p & = \int _ A \left\lvert g _ n - \chi _ A \right\rvert ^p \,d{x} + \int _ {[a, b]\setminus A} \left\lvert g _ n - \chi _ A \right\rvert ^p \,d{x} \\ & = 0 + \int _ {[a, b]\setminus A} \left\lvert g _ n \right\rvert ^p \,d{x} \rightarrow 0 \end{aligned}\]

since $\left\lvert g _ n \right\rvert ^p \leq 1$. We have shown that characteristic functions of closed sets can be approximated by continuous functions in $\mathcal{L}^{p}[a, b]$.

For every $A \in \mathfrak{M}(m)$, $\exists\,F _ \text{closed} \subseteq A$ such that $m(A \setminus F) < \epsilon$. Since $\chi _ A - \chi _ F = \chi _ {A \setminus F}$,

\[\begin{aligned} \int \left\lvert \chi _ A-\chi _ F \right\rvert ^p \,d{x} & = \int \left\lvert \chi _ {A\setminus F} \right\rvert ^p \,d{x} \\ & = \int _ {A\setminus F} \,d{x} = m(A \setminus F) < \epsilon. \end{aligned}\]

Therefore, for every $A \in \mathfrak{M}$, $\exists\,g _ n \in C[a, b]$ such that $\left\lVert g _ n - \chi _ A \right\rVert _ p \rightarrow 0$ as $n \rightarrow\infty$. So characteristic functions of any measurable set can be approximated by continuous functions in $\mathcal{L}^{p}[a, b]$.

Next, for any measurable simple function $f = \sum _ {k=1}^{m}a _ k \chi _ {A _ k}$, we can find $g _ n^k \in C[a, b]$ so that

\[\left\lVert f - \sum _ {k=1}^{m} a _ k g _ n^k \right\rVert _ p = \left\lVert \sum _ {k=1}^{m}a _ k \left( \chi _ {A _ k} - g _ n^k \right) \right\rVert _ p \rightarrow 0.\]

Next for $f \in \mathcal{L}^{p}$ and $f \geq 0$, there exist simple functions $f _ n \geq 0$ such that $f _ n \nearrow f$ in $\mathcal{L}^{p}$. Finally, any $f \in \mathcal{L}^{p}$ can be written as $f = f^+ - f^-$, which completes the proof.

이러한 확장을 몇 번 해보면 굉장히 routine합니다. $\chi _ F$ for closed $F$ $\rightarrow$ $\chi _ A$ for measurable $A$ $\rightarrow$ measurable simple $f$ $\rightarrow$ $0\leq f \in \mathcal{L}^{p} \rightarrow$ $f \in \mathcal{L}^{p}$ 와 같은 순서로 확장합니다.
