Attempt: Let $x in X$. Then, $varphi_n(x) = k2^-n$ $x in E_kn$, and $0$ if $x notin E_kn$. But, $lim_n to inftyvarphi_n(x) = 0$ for all $xin X$. Therefore, $varphi_n(x)$ uniformly converge to 0 on $E_kn$ for all $k$.



In addition, $f(x)$ is defined as $k2^-n le f(x) < (k+1)2^-n$. When we take a limit, by squeeze theorem $lim_nto inftyf(x) = 0$ for all $x in X$.



Is this a complete proof? I think both functions converge uniformly to 0, but how can I connect these two?



Thank you in advance.

  • You have made many wrong statements, some even meaningless. If $lim phi_n (x)=0$ for all $x$ there is no hope of proving this theorem. The statement $lim_nto infty f(x)=0$ does not make sense.

    Since this is one of the most basic results in measure theory I suggest that you can read the proof in the book mentioned by Mason and tell us which particular steps you don't follow.
