Is the function measurable with respect to Lebesgue measure












3












$begingroup$


Let $h: [a,b]rightarrow mathbb{R}$ be a continuous function. For every $yin mathbb{R}$, denote
$$
S(y)=begin{cases} 0 & text{, if } h^{-1}(y) = emptyset \
# h^{-1}(y) &text{, if } h^{-1}(y) text{ is finite}\
infty, &text{, if } h^{-1}(y) text{ is infinite}
end{cases}
$$

Is the function measurable (as a function from $mathbb{R} mapsto mathbb{R}$) with respect to the Lebesgue measure in $mathbb{R}$?

Here's a neat proof that $f$ is Borel-measurable:



It suffices to show that $S^{-1}({n})$ is Borel for all $n geq 0$, as the image of $S$ is contained in ${0,1,2,ldots}cup{infty}$. For $n = 0$, $S^{-1}({0}) = mathbb{R} setminus f([a,b])$, which is open. For $n geq 1$, let $g = ftimes cdots times f: [a,b]^n to mathbb{R}^n$. For $Delta subseteq [a,b]^n$ the set of points where at least two coordinates are equal (the "big diagonal") and $D: mathbb{R} to mathbb{R}^n$ the map $D: t mapsto (t,ldots, t)$ (the diagonal map), I claim
$$ S^{-1}({n}) = D^{-1}(g([a,b]^n setminus Delta)).$$
As $g$ is continuous and $[a,b]^n setminus Delta$ is a countable union of compact sets, $g([a,b]^n setminus Delta)$ is Borel, and hence $S^{-1}({n})$ is.
