Measure of $C^1$ path in $mathbb{R}^2$












1












$begingroup$


I started studying multivariable integration and still trying to grasp the conecpt of the measure.
I`m doing excersices and I keep getting the feeling im doing something wrong so I hope one of you could help me :




Definition: $E subset mathbb{R}^n$ is neglectible if for every $epsilon$ >0 there exists a series of open cubes $Q_1,Q_2,...$ such that $Esubset cup Q_i$ and $sum_1^infty V(Q_i)<epsilon$




Now, I`m trying to show that if $phi:[0,1]to mathbb{R}^2$ a continously differentiable path, then $phi([0,1])$ is neglectible.



My idea was to say that $phi$ is continously differentiable on compact set and hence lipchitz, so we have : $d(phi(x),phi(y))leq Ld(x,y)$.



Now, [0,1] is compact so we can cover it by finitely many open sets of diameter $sqrt{ epsilon/L}$,



Excplicitly: $[0,1]subset cup_1^NI_i$.
Now we can define a cover for $phi([0,1])$ as folllowing :



For each $i$, take $Q_i$ coverage of $phi(I_i)$. Its sides are bounded from the inequality : $d(phi(x),phi(y))leq Ld(x,y)<sqrt{ epsilon/L}$, so overall $V(Q_i)<epsilon$



To finish off the proof - and this is where my problem is :



$phi([0,1])subset cup_1^Nphi(I_i)$
$implies$
$V(phi([0,1]))leq sum_1^NV(Q_i)=Nepsilon$



However- N is the number of open sets required to cover $[0,1]$, so it obviously depends on $epsilon$ and most likely to get large as $epsilon$ gets smaller.



I can't understand what I'm missing here. I'll be glad if someone can help me.

    Can you write $N$ in terms of $epsilon$?

    Youre right, its about $1/ epsilon$ , Which still isn`t good

    Isn't it $frac{sqrt{L}}{sqrt{epsilon}}$?
