Reason: First published version. Scaling law for Lebesgue measure and the Lebesgue integral on R^n under a nonzero real dilation: Borel sets scale with factor |c|^n, and the corresponding change-of-variables identities for nonnegative measurable and for integrable functions. Needed for the scaled mollifier family psi_eps = eps^{-n} psi(./eps).

Statement

Let n1n\ge1 be a natural number and let λn\lambda_n be Lebesgue measure on the Borel σ\sigma-algebra B(Rn)\mathcal{B}(\mathbb{R}^n). Scalar multiples are those of the real vector space Rn\mathbb{R}^n, and for a real number cc and BRnB\subseteq\mathbb{R}^n we write

cB={cx:xB}.cB=\{cx:x\in B\}.

Powers with a natural exponent are those of Natural Number Power of an Element of a Field. Measurability and integrals of [0,][0,\infty]-valued functions are those of Lebesgue Integral of a Nonnegative Measurable Function, with the conventions of Measure, Measure Space, and Probability Measure extended by a=a=a\cdot\infty=\infty\cdot a=\infty for 0<a0<a\le\infty, and integrable means integrable. Fix a real number c0c\ne0 and write cn|c|^{-n} for the multiplicative inverse of cn|c|^{n}.

1. (Sets) For every BB(Rn)B\in\mathcal{B}(\mathbb{R}^n) the set cBcB is Borel, and

λn(cB)=cnλn(B).\lambda_n(cB)=|c|^{n}\,\lambda_n(B).

2. (Nonnegative integrals) For every measurable f:Rn[0,]f:\mathbb{R}^n\to[0,\infty] the map xf(cx)x\mapsto f(cx) is measurable and

Rnf(cx)dλn(x)=cnRnfdλnin [0,].\int_{\mathbb{R}^n}f(cx)\,d\lambda_n(x)=|c|^{-n}\int_{\mathbb{R}^n}f\,d\lambda_n\qquad\text{in }[0,\infty].

3. (Integrable functions) Let f:RnRf:\mathbb{R}^n\to\mathbb{R} be measurable with respect to B(Rn)\mathcal{B}(\mathbb{R}^n) and the Borel σ\sigma-algebra of the real line. Then ff is integrable with respect to λn\lambda_n if and only if xf(cx)x\mapsto f(cx) is, and in that case the identity of claim 2 holds in R\mathbb{R}.
