A convex Lipschitz integrand has a supporting line at every point of the half-line; composed with a nonnegative measurable function it stays measurable and lies between 0 and L times the function; and on a probability space it satisfies Jensen's inequality.

Statement

In the setting of Measure Spaces and the Lebesgue Integral: Standing Notation, let (X,F,μ)(X,\mathcal{F},\mu) be a measure space; measurability of real-valued maps on XX and integrals are those of Measure Spaces and the Lebesgue Integral: Standing Notation §measurable and Measure Spaces and the Lebesgue Integral: Standing Notation §integral. Write [0,∞)[0,\infty) for the set of nonnegative real numbers, as in Convex Lipschitz Integrands, let L∈RL\in\mathbb{R} be nonnegative, and let Φ:[0,∞)→R\Phi:[0,\infty)\to\mathbb{R} be a convex Lipschitz integrand with constant LL. Then the following hold.

1. (Supporting lines) For every t0∈[0,∞)t_{0}\in[0,\infty) there is a real number ss with

Φ(t)≥Φ(t0)+s (t−t0)for every t∈[0,∞).\Phi(t)\ge\Phi(t_{0})+s\,(t-t_{0})\qquad\text{for every }t\in[0,\infty).

2. (Composition) Let h:X→Rh:X\to\mathbb{R} be measurable with 0≤h(x)0\le h(x) for every x∈Xx\in X. Then Φ∘h:X→R\Phi\circ h:X\to\mathbb{R} is measurable, and 0≤Φ(h(x))≤L h(x)0\le\Phi(h(x))\le L\,h(x) for every x∈Xx\in X. If moreover hh is integrable, then Φ∘h\Phi\circ h is integrable and

0≤∫XΦ∘h dμ≤L∫Xh dμ.0\le\int_{X}\Phi\circ h\,d\mu\le L\int_{X}h\,d\mu .

3. (Jensen's inequality) Suppose that μ(X)=1\mu(X)=1, and let hh be as in claim 2 and integrable. Then ∫Xh dμ\int_{X}h\,d\mu belongs to [0,∞)[0,\infty), and

Φ(∫Xh dμ)≤∫XΦ∘h dμ.\Phi\Bigl(\int_{X}h\,d\mu\Bigr)\le\int_{X}\Phi\circ h\,d\mu .
