The interior of a convex subset of Euclidean space is convex, and every Borel subset of the convex set lies in that interior up to a Lebesgue null set.

Statement

We work in the setting of Euclidean Space and Lebesgue Measure: Standing Notation, whose notation is fixed for every dimension and is used here with a natural number nn satisfying 1n1\le n: the Euclidean norm, distance and topology of Rn\mathbb{R}^{n}, its Borel σ\sigma-algebra B(Rn)\mathcal{B}(\mathbb{R}^{n}) and its Lebesgue measure λn\lambda_{n} are as fixed there.

Let CRnC\subseteq\mathbb{R}^{n} be convex and let intC\operatorname{int}C be its interior, which is open by The Interior is the Largest Open Subset and therefore belongs to B(Rn)\mathcal{B}(\mathbb{R}^{n}). Then the following hold.

1. (The interior is convex) The set intC\operatorname{int}C is convex.

2. (A Borel subset lies in the interior up to a null set) For every EB(Rn)E\in\mathcal{B}(\mathbb{R}^{n}) with ECE\subseteq C one has

λn(EintC)=0.\lambda_{n}\bigl(E\setminus\operatorname{int}C\bigr)=0 .
