- TL;DR Summary
- I need help in order to fully understand Axler's proof of the translation invariance of outer measure ...
I am reading Sheldon Axler's book: Measure, Integration & Real Analysis ... and I am focused on Chapter 2: Measures ...
I need help with the proof of Result 2.7 ...
Result 2.7 and its proof read as follows:
In the above proof by Axler we read the following:
" ... ... Thus
... ##\mid t + A \mid \leq \sum_{ k = 1 }^{ \infty } l ( t + I_k ) = \sum_{ k = 1 }^{ \infty } l ( I_k )##
Taking the infimum of the last term over all sequences ##I_1, I_2, ... ## of open intervals whose union contains ##A##, we have ##\mid t + A \mid \leq \mid A \mid##. ... ..."Can someone please explain exactly how/why taking the infimum of the last term over all sequences ##I_1, I_2, ... ## of open intervals whose union contains ##A##, we have ##\mid t + A \mid \leq \mid A \mid## ... ?...Peter
