Lebesgue density theorem
Let be the Lebesgue measure on , and for ameasurable set
define the density of in-neighborhood
of by
where denotes the ball of radius centered at .
The Lebesgue density theorem asserts that for almost every point of the density
exists and is equal to .
In other words, for every measurable set the density of is or almost everywhere. However, it is a curious fact thatif and , then there arealways points of where the density is neither nor [1, Lemma 4].
