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

This definition is due to Jan Mikusiński, see Mikusiński, Jan, The Bochner integral. Basel, Stuttgart: Birkhauser, 1978. Mikusiński has co-authored another book on integration with Hartman in 1961, wh …

Is the composition of two nowhere differentiable functions still nowhere differentiable?

The composition may have points of differentiability. Let $f_0(x)=x$ for $x\geq 0$ and $f_0(x)=2x$ for $x<0$. Let $g_0(x)=2x$ for $x\geq 0$ and $g_0(x)=x$ for $x<0$. Then none of them is differentia …

Counterexamples to differentiation under integral sign, revisited

A simple example is given by $$ f(t,x)=\cases{\exp(-(x-t^{-2})^2),&$t\neq 0$,\\0,&$t=0.$} $$ For each fixed $t\neq 0$, $\int f(t,x)\,dx$ is a Gaussian integral equal to $\sqrt{\pi}$, while for $t=0$, …

Twice continuously differentiable implied by existence of limit

This is more of a long comment than answer. First, the analogous statement for the first derivative is already non-trivial, although not very difficult, see Aull, Charles E. "The first symmetric deriv …

Proof of Green's formula for rectifiable Jordan curves

One can circumvent the technical difficulties as follows. Consider a large ball $K$ containing $\Gamma$ and any $p>2$. Given a function $f\in L^p(K)$, we can define its Cauchy transform $$ \left(\mat …

Reference request: Extensions of Wiener's Tauberian Theorem

Let me record a couple of simple observations regarding question 1. First, it is clear that the answer is "very rarely", since there are very simple obstructions. For example, the step function $\ma …

How much can you improve a Hölder function by composing it with another?

For any $\alpha>0$, put $$f(x)=\begin{cases}-e^{-\frac{1}{x^2}},&x<0\\x^\alpha,&x>0\end{cases}\quad \text{and}\quad F(x)=\begin{cases}x,&x<0\\e^{-\frac{1}{x^2}},&x>0\end{cases},$$ the composition $F\c …

Every convex set is of locally finite perimeter

First assume that $E$ is compact. Then, your inequality says that you can approximate it from above by a sequence $E_n$ of convex polytopes with decreasing perimeters. Then, the sequence $\mu_{E_n}$ i …

Is the Poisson formula valid when the boundary condition is $ L^2 $?

This is clearly false as stated, since a necessary condition is that $g(x)\to g(\xi)$ as $x\to\xi$ a. e. in the sphere, but if $g$ is merely $L^2$, this may well fail for every point. The convergence …

An inequality for harmonic functions

Consider first the $d=2$ case. Then, $u$ is a real part of an analytic function. We can write $$u(z)=\frac12\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}(a_nz^n+\overline{a}_n\overline{z}^n)$$ and $$\partial_\nu u(z)=\frac12\s …

Convergence of series related to partial fraction expansion of cotangent function

Here's a complex analysis proof. For $|\theta|\leq\pi,$ we have that $$ F(t)=\frac{\cos(\theta t)\pi}{\sin (\pi t)} $$ is an odd meromorphic function for $t\in\mathbb{C}$ with simple poles at $k\in\ma …

Does convergence in probability implies L^1 convergence in probability density function, for...

No. Let $Y$ be uniform on $[0,1]$ and $X_n$ have density $f_n=1+\sin (2\pi nx)$. Then $X_n\to Y$ in distribution. You can represent them on the same probability space $(0,1)$ (with Lebesgue measure) b …

Box dimension and graph of Hölder function

For any $z\in\frac{\delta}{2}\mathbb{Z}^d\cap I^d$, put a box with side $\delta$ centered at each $(z,f(z)),(z,f(z)\pm \frac{\delta}{2}),\dots,(z,f(z)\pm N\cdot\frac{\delta}{2})$, where $N$ is the sma …

Scaling of distributions

This is wrong. Take, for example, $p_\epsilon(x)=\frac1\epsilon \varphi(x/\epsilon)$ and $\varphi(x)=\varphi_0(x-1)-\varphi_0(x+1)$, where $\varphi_0$ is a smooth cap supported on $(-1,1)$. Then $$ \i …
