Summable function
From Encyclopedia of Mathematics
A function , where is a space with a non-negative measure, for which the Lebesgue integral is defined and finite. The set of summable functions forms a linear subspace of the space of measurable functions. Taking the absolute value of a function and the maximum and minimum of a finite system of functions does not lead outside . If , then is closed in the sense of uniform convergence.
Comments
A standard notation for the space of summable or Lebesgue integrable functions on is or (or , ).
