Prove that a set of norm p is of measure zero












2












$begingroup$


The question is to show that the set $A = $ {$x in R^n | (||x||_p)^p le 1$} is a Jordan set for $0 le p le 1$.



($||x||_p$ is the $p$ -norm).



I know i need to prove that the boundary of $A$ is of measure $0$.
And also the boundary is the set $B = $ {$x in R^n | (||x||_p)^p = 1$}.



I started by declaring the function $f(x) = (||x||_p)^p -1$.
So $B=$ {$x in R^n || f(x)=0$}.



My direction was to prove that the graph of the function is of measure zero

Suposse that $mu (A) =k>0,$ then since $Asubset [-2,2]^n $ and $$bigcup_{vin [0,1] } (vA)subset [-2,2]^n $$ and $(vA)cap (uA) =emptyset $ for $uneq v$ and $mu (tA) =t^nmu (A),$ then we get a contradiction with the fact that $mu ([-2,2]^n ) =4^n <infty.$

          To prove that the graph of your function has measure zero, argue as follows: let $Q$ be the $n-$ dimensional cube, centered at the origin, with edge length $k:kin mathbb N.$ Let $f$ be your function. And let $epsilon>0.$



          Since $f$ is uniformly continuous on $Q$, we can partition the cube into sub-cubes $Q_i$ such that $s, tin Q_iRightarrow |f(s)-f(t)|<epsilon.$ Then $G(f)subseteq bigcup Q_itimes [m_i,M_i]$ where $m_i=min_{Q_i} f(x)$ and $M_i=max_{Q_i} f(x).$



          Now, the measure of the graph of $f$ on $Q$ satisfies $mu(G_f)le epsiloncdot text{vol} Q =k^nepsilon.$ Thus, $mu(G_f)=0$ on $Q$. To conclude, note that $mathbb R^n$ is a countable union of such cubes $Q$.

            To prove that the graph of your function has measure zero, argue as follows: let $Q$ be the $n-$ dimensional cube, centered at the origin, with edge length $k:kin mathbb N.$ Let $f$ be your function. And let $epsilon>0.$



            Since $f$ is uniformly continuous on $Q$, we can partition the cube into sub-cubes $Q_i$ such that $s, tin Q_iRightarrow |f(s)-f(t)|<epsilon.$ Then $G(f)subseteq bigcup Q_itimes [m_i,M_i]$ where $m_i=min_{Q_i} f(x)$ and $M_i=max_{Q_i} f(x).$



            Now, the measure of the graph of $f$ on $Q$ satisfies $mu(G_f)le epsiloncdot text{vol} Q =k^nepsilon.$ Thus, $mu(G_f)=0$ on $Q$. To conclude, note that $mathbb R^n$ is a countable union of such cubes $Q$.
