Measurability criterion for ennreal-valued functions #

Consider a function f : α → ℝ≥0∞. If the level sets {f < p} and {q < f} have measurable supersets which are disjoint up to measure zero when p and q are finite numbers satisfying p < q, then f is almost-everywhere measurable. This is proved in ennreal.ae_measurable_of_exist_almost_disjoint_supersets, and deduced from an analogous statement for any target space which is a complete linear dense order, called measure_theory.ae_measurable_of_exist_almost_disjoint_supersets.

Note that it should be enough to assume that the space is a conditionally complete linear order, but the proof would be more painful. Since our only use for now is for ℝ≥0∞, we keep it as simple as possible.

If a function f : α → β is such that the level sets {f < p} and {q < f} have measurable supersets which are disjoint up to measure zero when p < q, then f is almost-everywhere measurable. It is even enough to have this for p and q in a countable dense set.
