Work In Progress
In particular: Rigorous linking, maybe splitting, but it is vital to introduce $\LL$ and $L$ both on this page

Let $\struct {X, \Sigma, \mu}$ be a measure space, and let $p \in \R$, $p \ge 1$.

The (real) Lebesgue $p$-space of $\mu$ is defined as:

$\map {\LL^p} \mu := \set {f: X \to \R: f \in \map \MM \Sigma, \ds \int \size f^p \rd \mu < \infty}$

where $\map \MM \Sigma$ denotes the space of $\Sigma$-measurable functions.


On $\map {\LL^p} \mu$, we can introduce the $p$-seminorm $\norm {\, \cdot \,}_p$ by:

$\forall f \in \LL^p: \norm f_p := \paren {\ds \int \size f^p \rd \mu}^{1 / p}$


Next, define the equivalence $\sim$ by:

$f \sim g \iff \norm {f - g}_p = 0$


The resulting quotient space:

$\map {L^p} \mu := \map {\LL^p} \mu / \sim$

is also called (real) Lebesgue $p$-space.


Lebesgue $\infty$-Space

The Lebesgue $\infty$-space for $\mu$, denoted $\map {\LL^\infty} \mu$, is defined as:

$\map {\LL^\infty} \mu := \set {f \in \map \MM \Sigma: f \text{ is essentially bounded} }$

and so consists of all $\Sigma$-measurable $f: X \to \R$ that are essentially bounded.


This page has been identified as a candidate for refactoring of medium complexity.
In particular: The following can be split off into separate pages, as they need proving in their own right. // However, consider the importance of defining $\LL$ and $L$ on the same page
Until this has been finished, please leave {{Refactor}} in the code.

New contributors: Refactoring is a task which is expected to be undertaken by experienced editors only.

Because of the underlying complexity of the work needed, it is recommended that you do not embark on a refactoring task until you have become familiar with the structural nature of pages of $\mathsf{Pr} \infty \mathsf{fWiki}$.

$\map {\LL^\infty} \mu$ can be endowed with the supremum seminorm $\norm \cdot_\infty$ by:

$\forall f \in \map {\LL^\infty} \mu: \norm f_\infty := \inf \set {c \ge 0: \map \mu {\set {\size f > c} } = 0}$


If, subsequently, we introduce the equivalence $\sim$ by:

$f \sim g \iff \norm {f - g}_\infty = 0$

we obtain the quotient space $\map {L^\infty} \mu := \map {\LL^\infty} \mu / \sim$, which is also called Lebesgue $\infty$-space for $\mu$.



This article is complete as far as it goes, but it could do with expansion.
In particular: Complex Lebesgue Space (first define complex integrals)
You can help $\mathsf{Pr} \infty \mathsf{fWiki}$ by adding this information.

Also known as

When the measure $\mu$ is clear, it is dropped from the notation, yielding $\LL^p$ and $L^p$.

If so desired, one can write, for example, $\map {\LL^p} X$ to emphasize $X$.

Source of Name

This entry was named for Henri Léon Lebesgue.


Historical Note

While named for Henri Léon Lebesgue, the concept of the Lebesgue space was actually first introduced by Frigyes Riesz in $1910$.
