Uniform integrability #
This file contains the definitions for uniform integrability (both in the measure theory sense as well as the probability theory sense). This file also contains the Vitali convergence theorem which establishes a relation between uniform integrability, convergence in measure and Lp convergence.
Uniform integrability plays a vital role in the theory of martingales most notably is used to formulate the martingale convergence theorem.
Main definitions #
MeasureTheory.UnifIntegrable
: uniform integrability in the measure theory sense. In particular, a sequence of functionsf
is uniformly integrable if for allε > 0
, there exists someδ > 0
such that for all setss
of smaller measure thanδ
, the Lp-norm off i
restricteds
is smaller thanε
for alli
.MeasureTheory.UniformIntegrable
: uniform integrability in the probability theory sense. In particular, a sequence of measurable functionsf
is uniformly integrable in the probability theory sense if it is uniformly integrable in the measure theory sense and has uniformly bounded Lp-norm.

Uniform integrability in the measure theory sense.
A sequence of functions f
is said to be uniformly integrable if for all ε > 0
, there exists
some δ > 0
such that for all sets s
with measure less than δ
, the Lp-norm of f i
restricted on s
is less than ε
.
Uniform integrability is also known as uniformly absolutely continuous integrals.
