Definition. The translate of a subset E of Rk by an x ∈ Rk is the set
E + x = {y + x : y ∈ E}.
(d) If µ is any positive translation invariant Borel measure on Rk such that µ(K) < ∞
for all compact K ⊂ Rk , then there is a constant c such that µ(E) = cm(E) for all Borel
sets E ⊂ Rk .
(e) To every linear transformation T : Rk → Rk corresponds a number ∆(T ) such that
[Recall that Pn consists of those points x ∈ Rk whose coordinates are integer multiples
of 2−n .]
Now suppose that f is real, and take W an open k-cell for which supp(f ) ⊂ W .
Recall (Property (d) in Lecture #14) that the open set W is a countable union of disjoint
boxes belonging to Ω1 ∪ Ω2 ∪ Ω3 ∪ · · ·.
[Recall that Ωn is the collection of all 2−n boxes with corners at the points of Pn .]
Since supp(f ) is compact, the function f is uniformly continuous on supp(f ).
Thus, for > 0, there are thus functions g and h with supp(g) ⊂ W and supp(h) ⊂ W
and an integer N > 0 such that
(i) g and h are constant on each box belonging to ΩN ,
(ii) g ≤ f ≤ h, and
(iii) h − g < .
[Recall Property (c) from Lecture #14: if Q ∈ Ωr , then vol(Q) = 2−rk ; and if n > r,
then the set Pn has exactly 2(n−r)k points in Q.]
By Property (c), if n > N , then

Since h − g < on W , h = g = 0 on W c , and ΛN is a linear functional, we have
0 ≤ ΛN h − ΛN g = ΛN (h − g) ≤ vol(W ).
With > 0 arbitrary, we have proved the existence a positive linear functional
Λf = lim Λn f
n→∞
Hence
vol(W ) = lim Λgr .
r→∞
m(W ) = vol(W ).
Since any k-cell is the decreasing sequence of open k-cells, we obtain (a) by the continuity
of µ (a.k.a. Theorem 1.19 (e)), where the µ value of the first open k-cell in the decreasing
sequence (it being contained in its closure which is compact) is finite.
The proofs of (c), (d), and (e) will use the following claim.
If λ is a positive Borel measure on Rk and λ(E) = m(E) for all boxes E, then the same
equality holds for all Borel sets.
Now every compact K ⊂ Rk has a finite cover by boxes E1 , . . . , Em with m(Ei ) < ∞, so
that λ(Ei ) = m(Ei ) implies that λ(K) < ∞.
By Theorem 2.18, the Borel measure λ is regular.
Since every open set is the countable union of disjoints sets in Ω1 ∪ Ω2 ∪ Ω3 ∪ · · · (Property
(d)), the (outer) regularity of m and λ imply that λ(E) = m(E) for all Borel sets E.
To prove (c), let x ∈ Rk , and define λ(E) = m(E + x).
Clearly λ is a positive measure, and by (a), we have λ(E) = vol(E) = m(E) for all boxes
E.
Hence m(E + x) = m(E) for all Borel sets E.
This holds for all E ∈ M by part (b).
To prove (d), suppose that µ is a positive translation invariant Borel measure on Rk such
that µ(K) < ∞ for every compact K.
Let Q0 be a 1-box and set c = µ(Q0 ).
Since Q0 is the union of 2nk disjoint 2−n boxes that are translates of each other and since
m(Q0 ) = 1, then for every 2−n box Q we have
We have µ(K) < ∞ for all compact K because T (K) is compact (T is a homeomorphism)
and m(T (K)) < ∞ for all compact K.
The linearity of T and the translation invariance of m give the translation invariance of
µ:
µ(E + x) = m T (E + x) = m T (E) + T x = m T (E) = µ(E).
By part (d) there is a constant ∆(T ) such that µ(E) = ∆(T )m(E), and so
Proof. First assume that 0 ≤ f < 1 and that A is compact (so that µ(A) < ∞ by
Theorem 2.14).
As in the proof of Theorem 1.17, there is a sequence of simple measurable functions {sn }
that converge pointwise to f .
Recall that sn = ϕn ◦ f where

This series converges uniformly on X (by virtue of 2−n ) so that g is continuous with the
support of g lying in V .
Since 2−n hn (x) = tn (x) except in Vn − Kn , we have g(x) = f (x) except in ∪∞
n=1 (Vn − Kn ).

Proof. By Lusin’s Theorem there is for each n ∈ N a gn ∈ Cc (X) with |gn | ≤ 1 and
By Theorem 1.41, almost all x ∈ X lie in at most finitely many of the En ’s.
For any such x, it follows that f (x) = gn (x) for all large enough n.
Thus f (x) = lim gn (x) a.e.[µ].
Appendix. Let > 0. Since A ⊂ V with V compact, property (b) of Theorem 2.14
implies that µ(V ) < ∞. Since Tn ⊂ A with µ(A) < ∞, the set Tn is inner regular. So
there exists a compact Kn ⊂ Tn such that
