Convergence in $L^1$ implies Convergence in measure using Chebyshev's Inequality












2












$begingroup$


Let ${f_n}$ be a sequence of Lebesgue integrable functions that converges to $f$ in $L^1$. Then, I have to show that ${f_n}$ converges in measure.



Here is my approach:



So Claim: $mu(x:|f_n(x)-f(x)|geqepsilon) to 0$



for any $epsilon >0$, by Chebyshev's Inequality, we have



Case 1:
Consider $mu(x:|f_n(x)-f(x)|> epsilon)<frac{1}{epsilon}int{|f_n(x)-f(x)|dmu} to0$ (as $f_n to f$ in $L^1)$



Case 2: Consider $mu(x:|f_n(x)-f(x)|=epsilon)=mu(x:-epsilon +f(x)leq f_n(x)leqepsilon+f(x)) to 0(???)$ for any arbitrary $epsilon$.



I am not sure about Case 2.



Thanks for any help!!

    Not sure why do you need case $2$. If you proved that $mu(x: |f_n(x)-f(x)|>epsilon)to 0$ for any $epsilon>0$ then you proved convergence in measure.

$begingroup$

There's not really any reason to have case 2, because Chebyshev's inequality also works with $le$ replacing $<$. If you're dead set on using it, then you haven't got the setup quite right (your first equality is wrong). The relevant estimate would be that



$$mu{x : g(x) = lambda} = frac 1 {lambda} int_{{x : g(x) = lambda}} g, dmu le frac{1}{lambda} int g , dmu$$
for positive $g$.





Alternatively, notice that



$$mu{|f_n - f| ge epsilon} le muleft{|f_n - f| > frac{epsilon}{2}right}$$



and apply Case $1$.
