support of integrable function is -finite
Theroem - Let be a measure space and a measurable function
. If is integrable, then the support of is -finite (http://planetmath.org/SigmaFinite).
It follows easily from this result that any function in an -space (http://planetmath.org/LpSpace), with , must have -finite support.
: Let , and for each let . Since is integrable, we must necessarily have for each , because
Since and have the same support, and the the support of the latter is , it follows that the support of is -finite.
