Essential supremum and infimum #
THIS FILE IS SYNCHRONIZED WITH MATHLIB4. Any changes to this file require a corresponding PR to mathlib4. We define the essential supremum and infimum of a function
f : α → β
with respect to a measureμ
onα
. The essential supremum is the infimum of the constantsc : β
such thatf x ≤ c
almost everywhere.
TODO: The essential supremum of functions α → ℝ≥0∞
is used in particular to define the norm in
the L∞
space (see measure_theory/lp_space.lean).
There is a different quantity which is sometimes also called essential supremum: the least
upper-bound among measurable functions of a family of measurable functions (in an almost-everywhere
sense). We do not define that quantity here, which is simply the supremum of a map with values in
α →ₘ[μ] β
(see measure_theory/ae_eq_fun.lean).
