A Continuous Compactly Supported Function on Rn\mathbb{R}^n is Bounded and Integrable

Statement

Let n≥1n\ge1 be a natural number, let dd denote the Euclidean distance, a metric on each Euclidean space, let ∥ ⋅ ∥\lVert\,\cdot\,\rVert be the Euclidean norm on Rn\mathbb{R}^n, and let λn\lambda_n be Lebesgue measure on the Borel σ\sigma-algebra B(Rn)\mathcal{B}(\mathbb{R}^n). Topological notions on Rn\mathbb{R}^n refer to the topology of the open sets of dd, which is a topology by The Open Subsets of a Metric Space Form a Topology.

Let g:Rn→Rg:\mathbb{R}^n\to\mathbb{R} be continuous from (Rn,d)(\mathbb{R}^n,d) to (R,d)(\mathbb{R},d) and compactly supported.

1. (Boundedness) gg is bounded.

2. (Integrability and a bound) The function gg is measurable with respect to B(Rn)\mathcal{B}(\mathbb{R}^n) and the Borel σ\sigma-algebra of the real line, and it is integrable with respect to λn\lambda_n. Moreover, if MM is a bound for gg and R>0R>0 is a real number such that g(x)=0g(x)=0 for every xx with ∥x∥>R\lVert x\rVert>R, then the closed ball Bˉ\bar B of centre 00 and radius RR in (Rn,d)(\mathbb{R}^n,d) satisfies λn(Bˉ)<∞\lambda_n(\bar B)<\infty and

∫Rn∣g∣ dλn≤M λn(Bˉ).\int_{\mathbb{R}^n}|g|\,d\lambda_n\le M\,\lambda_n(\bar B).

3. (Positivity) If in addition g(x)≥0g(x)\ge0 for every x∈Rnx\in\mathbb{R}^n and g(x1)>0g(x_1)>0 for at least one x1∈Rnx_1\in\mathbb{R}^n, then

0<∫Rng dλn<∞.0<\int_{\mathbb{R}^n}g\,d\lambda_n<\infty.
