43. Suppose that µ(X) < ∞ and f : X × [0, 1] → C is a function such that f (·, y) is
measurable for each y ∈ [0, 1] and f (x, ·) is continuous for each x ∈ X.

(a) If 0 < , δ < 1, then E,δ = {x ∈ E : |f (x, y)−f (x, 0)| ≤  for all y < δ} is measurable.

(b) For any  > 0 there is a set E ⊂ X such that µ(E) <  and f (·, y) → f (·, 0)
uniformly on E c as y → 0.

Proof. (a) Let {rk } denotes the set of rational numbers in [0,1]. Given 0 < , δ < 1, we are
going to show
E,δ = ∩ E (rk ) := ∩ {x : |f (x, rk ) − f (x, 0)| ≤ },
rk <δ rk <δ

where the right-hand side is measurable.

(⊆) is trivial. For (⊇), given x ∈ ∩rk <δ E (rk ) and y < δ. Since for each η > 0, by the continuity
assumption, we can choose rk close to y such that

|f (x, y) − f (x, 0)| ≤ |f (x, y) − f (x, rk )| + |f (x, rk ) − f (x, 0)| ≤ η + ,

we see |f (x, y) − f (x, 0)| ≤ .

 (b) Fix , η > 0. For each M ∈ N, let EM = Eη, 1 which is measurable and EM ⊂ EM +1 . By
M

continuity assumption, for all x ∈ X f (x, y) → f (x, 0) as y → 0, so µ(EM ) % µ(X) < ∞ and
hence µ(X \EM ) & 0. Choose M0 such that µ(X \EM0 ) <  and on EM0 , |f (x, y)−f (x, 0)| < η
for all y < 1/M0 .

Now given  > 0 and m ∈ N, using the above procedure we can select integers M,m and
measurable sets E 1 ,M,m such that µ(X \ E 1 ,M,m ) < 2−m and |f (x, y) − f (x, 0)| ≤ m1 on
m m

E 1 ,M,m for all y < 1/M,m . Consider E = ∩m E 1 ,M,m , then µ(X \ E) ≤ m 2−m = . Given
P
m m
1 1
m ∈ N, we see for any x ∈ E, |f (x, y) − f (x, 0)| ≤ m
if y < M,m
. This means f (x, y) → f (x, 0)
uniformly on E.

Remark 1. The continuity assumption is not superfluous, see my additional exercises 2.4.1 &
2.4.2 (which follows the works of [2, 3, 1]).

Then use change of variables t = uv, s = u − uv.

(b)For n = 1, it’s true by Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. Let F be the antiderivative of f .

Assume it’s true for n = j − 1, then
Z x Z x
1 j−1 1
Ij (x) = (x − t) f (t) dt = (j − 1)(x − t)j−2 F (t) dt,
Γ(j) 0 (j − 1)Γ(j − 1) 0

which is the (j −1)th-order antderivative of F , and hence the j th-order ant-derivative of f .

r | log r|b dr finite ?

Since given  > 0, there is δ = δ() ∈ (0, 21 ), such that | log r| ≤ r− for all r ∈ (0, δ).
