I've taken out one of the questions for various reasons: I think that having more than one unrelated question is distracting and also I've seen strong evidence that it cannot have very satisfactory answer. For this reason I've also changed the title of the question

Set where Uniformthe speed of convergence is uniform in Lebesgue's density theorem

Let $B \subset \mathbb R^n$ be the unit ball. Consider a Borel measurable set $E \subset B$ with positive Lebesgue measure $|E|>0$ (say $|E| = |B|/2$).

Then, Lebesgue's density theorem, says that for a.e. $x\in E$ $$ \lim_{r \downarrow 0} \frac{|B(x,r)\backslash E|}{|B(x,r)|} = 0. $$

We can restate it as follows: for a.e. $x\in E$, for all $\epsilon>0$ there exists $r_0 = r_0(x, \epsilon)>0$ such that $$ |B(x,r)\backslash E| \leq \epsilon |B(x,r)|, \quad 0<r<r_0(x,\epsilon) . $$ I am particularly interested in the dependence $\epsilon(r, x)$.

I have two questionsa question about this. Probably they haveit has been studied but I have not been able to find any reference.

  1. Let $x$ be the "best possible point" in the density set of $E$. That is, consider $x$ such that $\epsilon(r) = \epsilon(r,x)$ decreases faster in the limit when $r\downarrow 0$. Can we find some upper bound on $\epsilon(r)$? In the best possible case, $\epsilon(r) = 0$ for $r$ smaller than some $r_*$ if $x \in \operatorname{interior}(E)$, but, can we say something about the worst possible case? More details in the edit below

  2. Can we prove some uniformity for $\epsilon$ in a positive measure set (maybe of measure smaller than $|E|$)? That is, proving that there exists $r_*>0$ and $\phi$ nondecreasing with $\phi(0)=0$ such that $$ \epsilon(r,x) \leq \phi(r), \quad r<r_* $$ for all $x \in E_2$ for some Borel set $E_2$ with $0<|E_2|\leq |E|$.

I am specially interested in bounds independent ofGiven $E$, can we prove some uniformity for $\epsilon$ in a positive measure set (if they can existmaybe of measure smaller than $|E|$).

Edit: In the first question I wonder if there exists? That is, can we find some universal $\phi(r)$ nondecreasing$r_*>0$ and $\phi$ continuous with $\phi(0) = 0$$\phi(0)=0$ such that for $$ \epsilon(r,x) \leq \phi(r), \quad 0<r<r_* $$ for all $E$ measurable$x \in \tilde E$ for some Borel set $\tilde E\subset E$ with $|E|=|B|/2$ we have $$ \inf_{x\in B} \lim_{r \downarrow 0} \frac{\epsilon_E(r,x)}{\phi(r)} = 0 . $$$0<|\tilde E|\leq |E|$.

In the second question, I'm interested in finding $\phi$ dependent on $E$. That is, given $E$ showing that there is $E_2$, $r_*$ and $\phi(r)$ (or maybe that they cannot exist)Edit: Initially I had two questions but I have decided to delete one.
