Fubini's theorem and Tonelli's theorem

[edit]

Let X, Y be measure spaces with measures μ, ν respectively.

Let be a measurable function.

Then it is true that

provided one of the following criteria:

  1. (Fubini's theorem) The spaces X, Y are complete (all null sets are measurable), and .
  2. (Tonelli's theorem) The spaces X, Y are σ-finite (a countable union of finite-measure sets)*, and f ≥ 0.

(*) For probability spaces this is automatic.

Convergence of integrals

[edit]

Let Ω be a measure space with a measure μ.

Let fn : Ω → ℝ be a sequence of measurable functions that converges pointwise (everywhere, or μ-almost everywhere if μ is a complete measure) to a function f : Ω → ℝ.

Then it is true that provided one of the following criteria:

  1. (Monotone convergence theorem)

    μ-almost everywhere in Ω.

    Note: If additionally then in L1(μ) by Scheffé’s lemma.

  2. (Dominated convergence theorem)

    for some (everywhere, or μ-almost everywhere if μ is a complete measure).

    Note: This also gives us in L1(μ), and .

  3. (Bounded convergence theorem)

    and .

    Note: This also gives us in L1(μ), and .

Corollary: Differentiation under the integral sign
[edit]

Let , wherein , and if ω is held constant, for all ω (or μ-almost all ω if μ is a complete measure), f is differentiable in x. Suppose F is defined in a neighborhood of 0.

Then it is true that provided one of the following criteria:

  1. .
  2. and .

Smooth functions

[edit]
A smooth transition from 0 to nonzero
[edit]
The function φ
A bump function - a smooth function with compact support
[edit]
The function ψ
A smooth transition from 0 to 1
[edit]

This is designed as a partition of unity.

The function η

List of canonical coordinate transformations

Let σd-1 be the uniform probability measure on the d-1-dimensional unit sphere and let κd be the volume of the d-dimensional unit ball (so that d is the surface area of the sphere). Then:

Corollary: If f is radial, that is: f(x) = f(|x|), then:

Integral convergence
[edit]

This may be proven using the previously-mentioned change of variables.

Supposing ε > 0, we have

In particular, .

Basics

[edit]

Let (Ω, P) be a probability space.

  • A real-valued random variable is a Borel-measurable .
  • The expected value of X is .

Geometry

Euclidean balls

[edit]

Denote by κd the volume of the d-dimensional unit ball. Then

Denote by sd-1 the surface area of the d-1-dimensional unit sphere (the boundary of the d-dimensional unit ball). Then

Proof.

Let Bd(r) be the d-dimensional Euclidean ball centered at the origin with radius r. Then the following inclusion is true:

(TODO: The more general result with Hölder's inequality, inclusions of Lp spaces, etc.)
