Let $f$ be defined on a measurable set $E subset mathbb R^n$. How to show that if $a<f<+infty$ and $f=-infty$ are measurable for every finite $a$, then $f$ is measurable? I think I need to separate the set $a<f<+infty$, then do some set operations. Any hint?




EDIT: This question is part of a corollary.enter image description here



The definition of measurable function is that $f$ is called a Lebesgue measurable function on $E$, or simply a measurable function, if for every finite $a$, the set $$mathbfxin E: f(mathbfx)>a $$ is a measurable subset of $mathbb R^n$.

  • Isn't it $f=+infty $ measurable instead of $f=-infty $ ? Moreover, what is your definition of measurable function ? $-infty leq f <a$ measurable for all $a$ ?

  • Oh I see, the main difference is the infinity part. I'll see if I can remove that close vote.

It is enough to show that the set $xin E: f = +infty$ is measurable, since then for each finite $a$ we get that the set
$$
x in E: f(x) > a = xin E: f = +infty cup x in E: +infty>f(x) > a
$$
is a union of two measurable sets, hence measurable itself.



To see that $xin E: f = +infty$ is measurable, observe that in view of the measurability of $xin E: f = -infty$ its complement is also measurable, hence
$$
tag1 xin E: f = -infty^c = xin E: f > - infty = \xin E: f = +infty cup left( bigcuplimits_n=-infty^+infty x in E: n<f(x) < +infty right).
$$
Now the union in big brackets is measurable as a countable union of measurable sets. Since the left-hand side of $(1)$ is also measurable, the claim follows.
