Borel Sigma-Algebra of a Metric Space
definitiondef:borel-sigma-algebra-metric-2026cAnalysisTopologyProbabilityThe Borel sigma-algebra of a metric space is the sigma-algebra generated by its open sets; the Borel sigma-algebras of the real line, of R^n and of the real p x q matrices are those of their standard metrics.- If a function f(t, x) is integrable in x for each parameter t and differentiable in t with a derivative bounded by an integrable function of x, then its integral in x is differentiable in t and may be differentiated under the integral sign; likewise for a partial derivative in a…
