In summary, a collection of functions f_n (x) can be constructed for 0 < n < infinity, where each function is measurable but the limit superior of the collection, lim sup n->infinity f_n(x), is not measurable. This can be done by taking the supremum of a Vitali set V and defining the collection as X_a, where a is an element of V, resulting in a non-measurable function. It is not possible to choose a decreasing sequence of subsets of rational numbers and a Vitali set V such that the intersection of the sets is the Vitali set V.

Give an example of a collection of functions f_n (x) for 0 < n< infinity each measurable but such that lim sup n->infinity f_n(x) is not measurable.

I think , this collection shouldn't be a sequence of functions otherwise lim sup would be measurable. So I tried with sup first:
Take V as Vitali set and define the collection as X_{a} where X_{a} is a characteristic function of set {a} and a comes from V. clearly sup is X_{V} which is not measurable. Any idea for the lim sup??

Is it possible to choose a decreasing sequence [tex](Q_n)_{n>0}[/tex] of subsets of [tex]\mathbb{Q}[/tex] so that [tex]A_n = Q_n + V[/tex] is measurable for each [tex]n[/tex] but [tex]\textstyle\bigcap_n A_n = V[/tex]?
 

1. What is a collection of functions?

A collection of functions refers to a group of related functions that are used together for a specific purpose or task. These functions can be stored and accessed as a single unit, making it easier to organize and use them in a program or project.

2. How is a collection of functions beneficial in scientific research?

A collection of functions can be extremely beneficial in scientific research as it allows for the efficient and organized use of multiple functions for data analysis, modeling, or other scientific tasks. It also promotes code reuse and can save time and effort in writing and debugging code.

3. Can a collection of functions be modified or added to?

Yes, a collection of functions can be modified or added to as needed. New functions can be added to the collection, and existing functions can be modified to improve their functionality or adapt to changing research needs. This flexibility allows for the collection to evolve and grow along with the research project.

4. How can a collection of functions be shared with other researchers?

A collection of functions can be shared with other researchers through various means such as publishing them in a scientific journal, sharing them on a code-sharing platform, or providing them as supplementary materials in a research publication. This allows for collaboration and promotes transparency in research.

5. Are there any best practices for creating a collection of functions?

Yes, there are some best practices for creating a collection of functions, such as using clear and concise function names, including comments and documentation for each function, and testing the functions thoroughly before adding them to the collection. It is also important to regularly review and update the collection to ensure its effectiveness and efficiency.
