Projection measure and an integral formula for Lipschitz functions

Let $n\geq m\geq 0$ be integers and put $k=n-m$. Let $A\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ be Borel measurable, we define the projection measure of $A$ as $$\mu_k(A):=\underset{P_1, \ldots, P_r}{\sup_{A=A_1\sqcup\...

Recover an $L^1$ integrand by partial differentiation

Denote by $m$ the 2-dimensional Lebesgue measure on $\mathbb{R}^2$. Let $f$ be an element of $L^1(m)$ that takes only nonnegative values. Define $F : \mathbb{R}^2 \rightarrow [0,\infty)$ by $$F(x,y) = ...

If a derivative is defined everywhere and $\pm1$ almost everywhere, is it constant?

Let $f:\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}$ be a differentiable function such that the set $A:=\{x\in\mathbb{R};f'(x)\not\in\{1,-1\}\}$ has measure $0$. Does this imply that $f'$ is constant? Context: I was ...

What is the origin/history of the following very short definition of the Lebesgue integral?

Typical courses on real integration spend a lot of time defining the Lebesgue measure and then spend another lot of time defining the integral with respect to a measure. This is sometimes criticized ...

Growth of $L^p$ norms as $p \to \infty$

Let $f$ be a non-negative function defined on the unit interval. It is well known that $N(p) := \left(\int_0^1 f^p(t) dt\right)^{\frac{1}{p}} $ converges to $\operatorname{esssup}_{[0,1]} f$ when $p \...

Pontryagin's principle with Lebesgue-integrable control

Does there exist a (weak) version of Pontryagin's minimum principle in which the control is allowed to be just Lebesgue integrable? I am mostly familiar with the 1975 text of Fleming & Rishel, ...

Extending gauge integral to higher dimensions/spaces and analogue of Riemann rearrangement theorem for it

The gauge/Henstock-Kurzweil integral allows for the integration of a very large set of functions in $\Bbb R$, at the cost of many of the nice properties of Lebesgue integration, of which it is a ...

Relation between the measures of two sets defined via Lebesgue integration

I posted this question on StackExchange, people have upvoted it but I have not received any response. I read up here that it is okay to post unanswered StackExchange questions on Mathoverflow. So, ...

lower bound volume of a set

Let $\lambda$ be Lebesgue measure on [0,1]. For any $x_{1},\dots,x_{k}$ in $[0,1]$, define $$A(x_1,..,x_k):=\{(y_1,\dots,y_k)\in [0,1]^k: \text{there exist intervals }I_1,\dots,I_k \text{ in }[0,1]$$ ...

Whether $\varphi(E)$ is a Jordan measurable set?

Definition: A set $S \subset \mathbb {R^{n}}$ is Jordan measurable if it is bounded in $\mathbb {R^{n}}$ and its boundary is a set of Lebesgue measure zero. The following conclusion has been ...

Lebesgue measurability of singular set

Let $\Omega$ be a bounded domain in $\mathbb{R}^{d}$ and $f:Q\to\mathbb{R}$ be continuous function. Define a superdifferential of $f$ at $x\in Q$ by $$ D^{+}f(x)=\{p\in\mathbb{R}^{d} \mid \text{$f(y)\...

An almost orthogonality principle for L^p

I recently asked this question on Math StackExchange and someone suggested that it would probably be more suited for Math Overflow. Since it still has not been answered, here it goes: If two ...

Lebesgue measure of boundary of Caccioppoli set

Can anything be said about the measure of the topological boundary of a Cacciopoli set in $R^n$? Of course, the reduced boundary has finite (n-1)-dimensional Hausdorff measure, but this does not say ...
