    Does bounded almost surely imply bounded in Lp?

    Hello all, I am a bit confused by the concept of "bounded almost surely". If a random variable X(\omega) is bounded a.s., so this means (i) X \leq K for some constant K ? or some K(\omega) ? Also, if it is bounded almost surely, does that mean it is also bounded in L^{p} ? Apparently if...

    Is the Function f(x) = 1/x Locally Bounded in the Interval (0,1)?

    Having a hard time understanding this example from a book: The function f(x) = 1/x is locally bounded at each point x in the set E = (0,1). Let x \in (0,1). Take \delta_x = x/2, M_x = 2/x. Then f(t) = 1/t <= 2/x = M_x if x/2 = x-\delta_x < t < x + \delta_x This argument is false since...
