Prove This Function is Finite Almost Everywhere












6















Let $F$ be a closed subset of $[0,1]$ of positive Lebesgue measure. Let $delta(x)$ be defined as $delta(x) = operatorname{dist}(x, F)$. Consider
$$M(x) = int_{0}^{1}frac{delta(y)}{|x -y|^2} , dy$$
Prove that for almost every point $x in F$, $M(x) < infty$.




My thoughts so far are the following: We wish to show that $M in L^{1}(F)$, which is more than sufficient to complete the proof. Thus, consider
$$int_{F} int_{0}^{1}frac{delta(y)}{|x -y|^2} , dy ,dx$$
From here, I would like to proceed by using Fubini Theorem to switch the order of integration to
$$int_{0}^{1}int_{F} frac{delta(y)}{|x -y|^2} , dx ,dy$$
From here, I am not really sure what to do.

          Note that
          $$
          M(x) = int_{F^ccap I}frac{delta(y)}{|x-y|^2}dy
          $$
          where $I=[0,1]$. Hence by Tonelli's theorem, we have
          $$begin{eqnarray}
          int_F M(x)dx &=& int_{F^ccap I}delta(y)left(int_Ffrac{1}{|x-y|^2}dxright)dy\
          &le&int_{F^ccap I}delta(y)left(int_{|z|ge delta(y)}frac{1}{|z|^2}dzright)dy\
          &= &int_{F^ccap I}delta(y)frac{2}{delta(y)}dy= 2|F^c cap I| le 2.
          end{eqnarray}$$

          • I think you mean Tonelli as Fubini requires the integrand to be in $L^1$ already.
