SUMMARY

The discussion centers on Problem of the Week #121, which involves proving that if \( f:\mathbb{R}\rightarrow\mathbb{R} \) is Lebesgue measurable, then the composition \( f \circ g:\mathbb{R}\rightarrow\mathbb{R} \) is also Lebesgue measurable, given that \( g:\mathbb{R}\rightarrow\mathbb{R} \) satisfies the condition \( |g(u)-g(v)|\geq c|u-v| \) for a constant \( c>0 \). This property indicates that \( g \) is a Lipschitz continuous function, which preserves measurability. The problem remains unsolved in the forum, with no responses provided by participants.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Lebesgue measurable functions
  • Knowledge of Lipschitz continuity
  • Familiarity with real analysis concepts
  • Basic skills in mathematical proof techniques
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the properties of Lipschitz continuous functions
  • Learn about the implications of function composition on measurability
  • Explore Lebesgue measure theory in depth
  • Review examples of measurable functions and their compositions
USEFUL FOR

Mathematicians, students of real analysis, and anyone interested in the properties of measurable functions and their compositions will benefit from this discussion.

Here's this week's problem!

-----

Problem
: Let $g:\mathbb{R}\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$ be a mapping of $\mathbb{R}$ onto $\mathbb{R}$ for which there is a constant $c>0$ for which
\[|g(u)-g(v)|\geq c|u-v|\text{ for all $u,v\in\mathbb{R}$.}\]
Show that if $f:\mathbb{R}\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$ is Lebesgue measurable, then so is the composition $f\circ g:\mathbb{R}\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$.

No one answered this week's problem. Due to recent events, I've been pretty swamped with work/GRE prep (taking the exam next Saturday, 10/13); hence, I don't have a solution ready at this time. I'll update this post with one sometime this week.
