SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the properties of the set \( A_{\epsilon} = [0,1] - \bigcup_{n \geq 1} I_{n} \), where \( I_{n} = [q_{n} - \frac{\epsilon}{2^{n+1}}, q_{n} + \frac{\epsilon}{2^{n+1}}] \cap [0,1] \). It is established that \( A_{\epsilon} \) is measurable and non-empty, while also having an empty interior. Furthermore, it is concluded that the Lebesgue outer measure \( \lambda^{*}(B) = 1 \), where \( B = \bigcup_{k \geq 1} A_{\frac{1}{k}} \).

Is $q_ {1} q_ {2}, ...,$ an enumeration of the rational $[0,1]$. For every $\epsilon> 0$, let $\displaystyle{A _ {\epsilon}: = [0,1]-\bigcup_ {n \geq 1} I_{n}}$, where $I_{n}:= [q_{n} - \frac {\epsilon}{2^{n+1}} , q_{n}\frac{\epsilon}{2^{n + 1}}]\cap [0,1]$.

Show that:

1 - $A _ {\epsilon}$ is measurable, non-empty and empty inside;

2 - $\lambda^{*}(B)=1$, where $\displaystyle B:=\bigcup_{k\geq 1}{A_\frac{1}{k}}$

Hi fsblajinha, and welcome to MHB!

Can you tell us what progress you have made with this problem, and where you need assistance?

I can not prove that it has empty interior! Thank you!

Hint: the complement of $A _ {\epsilon}$ contains every rational point in the interval.
