Exam August 2013 (2013-08-07): 2, 5, 6
46 11 8.1 280–281 17*, 18 *I don't see how to do 8.17c right now, so don't feel bad if you don't either, and don't waste too much time on it. I haven't given up yet myself.
Update: I found a solution and presented it in class.
8.3 291–292 33 (hint: rapid oscillations)
Extra exercise
5.5 176–177 93
45 10 6.3 210–212 42, 43, 45, 51, 53
6.4 220–223 64
One extra exercise
44 9 Some exercises that are not in the book
43 8 6.1 190–191 5, 6, 18–20
Assume that \((\Omega,\mathscr{A},\mu)\) is a probability space, and \(E_n\in\Omega\) for all \(n\in\mathbb{N}\). Assume that \[\sum_{n=1}^\infty\mu(E_n)<\infty.\] Let \(F\) be the set of points in \(\Omega\) that belong to \(E_n\) for infinitely many \(n\). (In the language of probability, “\(E_n\) happens infinitely often”.) Prove that \(\mu(F)=0\).
This is known as the first Borel–Cantelli lemma.
42 7 5.3 164–165 58, 63
5.4 172–173 67, 69, 74, 81b, 82
Assume \(f_n\to f\) a.e., where \(f_n\) are measurable functions on some measure space with \(|f_n|\le g\), and \(g\) is integrable. Show that then \(f_n\to f\) in measure.
Hint: The set \(\{x\colon g(x)\ge\varepsilon\}\) has finite measure.
41 6 5.1 149–151 5, 12, 13, 16, 17
5.2 156–158 21, 22
40 5 4.2 127–129 23, 26 Hint for 4.43: Adopt the proof of DCT.
4.3 137–139 41, 43–46
4.4 142–143 56
39 4 4.1 119–121 1, 5a, 11, 12, 16, 17 Here is a file containing three solutions to 4.17. (Updated once.)
4.2 127–129 18, 19
38 3 Assume \(B_1\subseteq B_2\subseteq\cdots\) are Lebesgue measurable sets. Show that \[\lambda\Bigl(\bigcup_{k\in\mathbb{N}}B_k\Bigr)=\lim_{k\to\infty}\lambda(B_k).\] Hint: Consider \(A_k=B_k\setminus B_{k-1}\).
3.4 107–109 33–35, 42–44 Hint for 3.34: Consider \(E_1\setminus E_k\).
37 2 1.4 26–27 43, 52 This exercise class was cancelled due to illness.
I will write up solutions when I feel able to do so.
Extra exercise not in the book
3.1 88–89 6, 8, 12 These problem should not have been given yet. I am sorry.
36 1 1.1 9–10 8
2.5 66–67 71, 74
3.2 94 15, 17–19
