Suppose A⊂RA \subset \mathbb {R} is Lebesgue measurable and assume that

m(A∩(a,b))≤b−a2 m(A \cap (a,b)) \leq \frac{b-a}{2}

for any a,b∈Ra, b \in \mathbb {R}, a<ba < b. Prove that m(A)=0m(A) = 0.

Prove that there does not exist a Lebesgue-measurable subset AA of the real line R\mathbb {R} such that for any interval Δ\Delta

μ(A∩Δ)=12μ(Δ). \mu \left(A\cap \Delta \right)=\tfrac 12\mu \left(\Delta \right).

Let 0<θ<1,E⊂Rm,0<λm(E)<∞0<\theta <1, E \subset \mathbb {R}^{m}, 0<\lambda_{m}(E)<\infty. Prove that there exists a cube Δ\Delta such that θλm(Δ)<λm(E∩Δ)\theta \lambda_{m}(\Delta )<\lambda_{m}(E \cap \Delta ).

Prove the existence of a set A⊂[0,1]A \subset [0,1] such that λ(A∩Δ)>0\lambda (A \cap \Delta )>0 and λ(Δ\A)>0\lambda (\Delta \backslash A)>0 for every (nonempty) interval Δ⊂(0,1)\Delta \subset (0,1).

Prove that there is no Lebesgue measurable set A⊂RA \subset \mathbb {R} with the property that for any interval II,

m(A∩I)=12m(I). m\left(A \cap I\right)=\frac{1}{2} m\left(I\right) .

Let E∈ME \in \mathcal{M} and 0<m(E)<∞0<m\left(E\right)<\infty. Prove that for every α∈(0,1)\alpha \in (0,1) there exists an interval II for which m(E∩I)>αm(I)m\left(E \cap I\right)>\alpha m\left(I\right).

Let AA be a measurable subset of R\mathbb {R} and suppose that there is α>0\alpha >0 such that m(A∩[a,b])≥α(b−a)m(A \cap [a, b]) \geq \alpha (b-a), whenever a<ba<b. Prove that m(AC)=0m\left(A^{C}\right)=0

Construct a Borel set E⊂R1E \subset \mathbb {R}^{1} such that

0<m(E∩I)<m(I) 0 < m(E \cap I) < m(I)

for every nonempty segment II. Is it possible to have m(E)<∞m(E) < \infty for such a set?

Assume the result of Exercise 8 [problem 7.4.8 above]. Show that there cannot exist a set E∈BE \in \mathcal{B} such that λ(E∩[a,b])=12(b−a)\lambda \left(E \cap [a, b]\right)=\frac{1}{2}(b-a) for all real a<ba<b. [Write the left side as ∫[a,b]  1E dλ\int_{[a,b]} \; \mathbb {1}_{E} \, d\lambda, and write the right side as ∫[a,b]12 dλ\int_{[a,b]} \frac{1}{2} \, d\lambda. Use the previous exercise, working by contradiction.]

↑\uparrow There is no Borel set AA in (0,1)(0,1) such that aλ(I)≤λ(A∩I)≤bλ(I)a \lambda (I) \leq \lambda (A \cap I) \leq b \lambda (I) for every open interval ll in (0,1)(0,1), where 0<a≤b<10<a \leq b<1. In fact prove:

?
(a)

If λ(A∩I)≤bλ(I)\lambda (A \cap I) \leq b \lambda (I) for all II and if b<1b<1, then λ(A)=0\lambda (A)=0. Hint. Choose an open GG such that A⊂G⊂(0,1)A \subset G \subset (0,1) and λ(G)<b−1λ(A)\lambda (G)<b^{-1} \lambda (A); represent GG as a disjoint union of intervals and obtain a contradiction.

(b)

If aλ(I)≤λ(A∩I)a \lambda (I) \leq \lambda (A \cap I) for all II and if a>0a>0, then λ(A)=1\lambda (A)=1.

Suppose that A∈R1,λ(A)>0A \in \mathscr {R}^{1}, \lambda (A)>0, and 0<θ<10<\theta <1. Show that there is a bounded open interval II such that λ(A∩I)≥θλ(I)\lambda (A \cap I) \geq \theta \lambda (I). Hint: Show that λ(A)\lambda (A) may be assumed finite, and choose an open GG such that A⊂GA \subset G and λ(A)≥θλ(G)\lambda (A) \geq \theta \lambda (G). Now G=⋃nInG=\bigcup_{n} I_{n} for disjoint open intervals InI_{n} [A12], and Σnλ(A∩In)≥θ∑nλ(In)\Sigma_{n} \lambda \left(A \cap I_{n}\right) \geq \theta \sum_{n} \lambda \left(I_{n}\right); use an InI_{n}.
