(a) Let (E,E,μ) be a measure space, and let 1⩽p<∞. What does it mean to say that f belongs to Lp(E,E,μ) ?
(b) State Hölder's inequality.
(c) Consider the measure space of the unit interval endowed with Lebesgue measure. Suppose f∈L2(0,1) and let 0<α<1/2.
(i) Show that for all x∈R,
∫01∣f(y)∣∣x−y∣−αdy<∞
(ii) For x∈R, define
g(x)=∫01f(y)∣x−y∣−αdy
Show that for x∈R fixed, the function g satisfies
∣g(x+h)−g(x)∣⩽∥f∥2⋅(I(h))1/2,
where
I(h)=∫01(∣x+h−y∣−α−∣x−y∣−α)2dy.
(iii) Prove that g is a continuous function. [Hint: You may find it helpful to split the integral defining I(h) into several parts.]
