Prove $f$ is integrable. This is from Bass exercise 11.21. Let $tilde x=(x_1,...,x_{n-1}), x = (tilde x, x_n)$ , and $f^{x_n}(tilde x) = f(x) : mathbb R^{n-1} to mathbb R$ . If $p leq 0$ then $g$ is integrable, so that $f$ also is, and we are done. So assume $p > 0$ . We are suggested to proceed by induction on $n$ . The case for $n=1$ can be solved. Now assume the case holds for $n-1$ , and let $epsilon > 0$ be so small that $p+epsilon$ is still smaller than $n$ . Then $p-1 + epsilon < n-1$ , and we can show that $|f^{x_n}(tilde x)| leq c|tilde x|^{-p+1-epsilon} chi_{tilde B(0,1)}(tilde x) |x|^{-1+epsilon}$ . A per
