Essential supremum and infimum #
We define the essential supremum and infimum of a function f : α → β
with respect to a measure
μ
on α
. The essential supremum is the infimum of the constants c : β
such that f x ≤ c
almost everywhere.
TODO: The essential supremum of functions α → ℝ≥0∞
is used in particular to define the norm in
the L∞
space (see Mathlib.MeasureTheory.Function.LpSpace
).
There is a different quantity which is sometimes also called essential supremum: the least
upper-bound among measurable functions of a family of measurable functions (in an almost-everywhere
sense). We do not define that quantity here, which is simply the supremum of a map with values in
α →ₘ[μ] β
(see Mathlib.MeasureTheory.Function.AEEqFun
).
