σ-algebras and measures

Which sets can be measured, and the countable additivity that makes limits work.

A σ-algebra is a family of sets closed under complements and countable unions; a measure assigns sizes additively over countable disjoint unions. Lebesgue measure gives intervals their length and extends to far stranger sets. Picture it: covering a set by intervals and taking the cheapest total length. Think it: not every set is measurable (Vitali), which is why the σ-algebra is part of the definition.

Exemplu lucrat · integrate 1/10 dx from 2 to 5

Integrate 1/10 from 2 to 5

\int_{2}^{5} \frac{1}{10}\, dx

Pas cu pas

  1. \int_{2}^{5} \frac{1}{10}\, dx

    First find an antiderivative F, then evaluate F(b) − F(a).

  2. \int \frac{1}{10}\, dx = \frac{x}{10}

    The integral of a constant c is c·x.

  3. F(5) - F(2) = \left(\frac{1}{2}\right) - \left(\frac{1}{5}\right)

    Fundamental theorem of calculus: plug in the limits.

  4. = \frac{3}{10}

    Simplify.

Întrebări pe care oamenii le întreabă

What is wrong with the Riemann integral?

It fails on functions that oscillate too much, and it does not interact well with limits: the limit of integrable functions need not be integrable. Lebesgue's integral fixes both.
