convergence in $L^p$ implies convergence in measure












6














I am trying to show that if $f_n$ converges to $f$ in $L^p(X,mu)$ then $f_nto f$ in $L^p$ in measure, where $1le p le infty$.



Here is my attempt for $p>1$ - Let $varepsilon>0$ and define $A_{n,varepsilon}=lbrace x: vert f_n(x)-f(x) vert ge varepsilonrbrace$. I want to show $mu (A_{n,varepsilon})to 0$. $Vert f_n-f Vert_p=(int _X vert f_n-fvert ^p)^{1/p}ge int _{A_{n,varepsilon}}(vert f_n-fvert ^p)^{1/p}ge varepsilon mu (A_{n,varepsilon})^{1/p}$ so that $mu (A_{n,varepsilon})le (frac{Vert f_n-fVert }{varepsilon})^{1/p}$ and the RHS tends to $0$ as $f_nto f$ in the $L^p$ norm.



How can I deal with the case $p=infty$?

    Perhaps I'm missing something, but shouldn't the $L^{infty}$ case be the simplest? Since $||f_n-f||_{infty}<epsilon implies mu(|f_n-f|geq epsilon) = 0$.

The case $p = infty$ is the simplest since $|f_n-f|_{infty} < epsilon$ means that $|f_n-f|$ is less than $epsilon$ almost everywhere, and therefore $mubig(|f_n-f|geepsilonbig) = 0$.



If $1le p < infty$, you can use Tchebychev's inequality:
$$
mubig(|f_n-f|geepsilonbig) = mubig(|f_n-f|^pgeepsilon^pbig) le frac{1}{epsilon^p}int|f_n-f|^p,dmu = frac{1}{epsilon^p}|f_n-f|_p^p,
$$

where the last expression can be made arbitrarily small by taking $n$ sufficiently large.

    If the underlying measure has finite variation then convergence in L-infinity implies convergence in Lp and the result follows. However, this is not true for non-finite measures. The constant functions x->1/n defined on the real line converge in L-infinity but not in measure.
