Convergence of the perimeter of level sets
I have already posted this question on Math StackExchange. Suppose you have a sequence of $C^1$ functions $\{\phi_n\}_{n\in \mathbb{N}}$ defined on $\mathbb{R}^n$ that converges in $C^{1}_{\mathrm{loc}...

When are events in tail $\sigma$-algebra the limsup of some sequence of events?
Consider a sequence of $\sigma$-algebras $\mathcal{F}_1,\mathcal{F}_2,\dots$. Is it true that for any event $B$ in the tail $\sigma$-algebra $\mathcal{F_{\text{Tail}}}$, it can be expressed as the $\...

Understanding a proof about limit of a sequence of open sets
We are reading a proof about the following limit
\begin{equation}\tag{1}
\lim_{n \to \infty} \sigma_1(T_n)= \sigma_1(T),
\end{equation}
where $T:D(T) \subseteq H \to H$ and $T_n:D(T_n) \subseteq H \to ...

Comparing two limsup's
Let $f\in L^2(0,\infty)$ be a positive, decreasing function. Is it then true that
$$
\limsup_{x\to\infty} xf(x) = \limsup_{x\to\infty} \frac{1}{f(x)}\int_x^{\infty} f^2(t)\, dt
$$
(and similarly for $\...

How can we show that if $f$ is convex, then $\liminf_{|x|\to\infty}\frac{x\cdot\nabla f(x)}{|x|}>0$?
Let $d\in\mathbb N$ and $f:\mathbb R^d\to\mathbb R$ be convex with $$\int e^{-f(x)}\:{\rm d}x<\infty\tag1.$$ How can we show that $$\liminf_{|x|\to\infty}\frac{x\cdot\nabla f(x)}{|x|}>0?$$ $f$ ...

Alternative characterization of epi-convergence
I am struggling with the proof of a property of epi-convergence.
We need the following definitions:
For a sequence of sets $(C^\nu)_\nu$ in $\mathbb R^n$, the outer limit is the set $\limsup_\nu C^\...

A subadditive bijection on the positive reals
I posed some time ago this question on MSE, which I am proposing also here since we got no definitive answer.
Question. Does there exist a subadditive bijection $f$ of the positive reals $(0,\infty)...
