Jordan content versus Lebesgue measure
[12/17%]Prove that the set of all rational points of the segment , which is Jordan non-measurable in (see problem 40,1), has Lebesgue measure zero in .
Prove that the set:
from problem 40,2) has Lebesgue measure zero;
from problem 40,3) has Lebesgue measure zero.
Give a set of Lebesgue measure zero whose closure is not a set of Lebesgue measure zero (which, we note, is impossible for sets of Jordan measure zero).
Prove Proposition 4.2.3.
Proposition 4.2.3: If is an open set in then .
Let be a closed Jordan set. Using only Definition 4.2.6, prove that .
Definition 4.2.6: Let be a closed and bounded set in and an open rectangle such that . The measure of the closed set is defined by .
Prove Proposition 4.2.12.
Proposition 4.2.12: Let . Then .
Let be an elementary set in . Prove or disprove: . What if is a Jordan measurable set?
Let be compact. Prove that .
Give examples to show that each of the inequalities and can be strict.
Let and let . Prove that .
The Jordan content of a set is defined as is outer-measure , except that only finite coverings of the set by open, bounded intervals are considered. Prove that if the set is covered by the finite collection , then .
Show that Lebesgue outer-measure on is changed if, following Jordan, countable covers are restricted to finite covers.
