Here is the Brezis-Lieb Lemma:

$(X,\mathfrak{A},\mu)$ is a measure space, consider $L^{p}(X):p \in(0,\infty)$ . Then $\left\{ f_{n} \right\}$ is a sequence of extended complex-values measurable functions on $L^{p}(X)$ such that

1)$\left\{ f_{n} \right\}$ is uniformly bounded by $p$ norm: i.e. $\exists M \geq 0, \forall n \in \mathbb{N} :\|f_{n}\|_{p} \leq M<\infty$

2) $f_{n}\to f,\mathrm{\; a.e. \;} X$

Then we have

1)$f \in L^{p}$

2) $$\begin{align*} \lim\limits_{n\to \infty } \int _{X} |f_{n}|^{p} - |f|^{p} - |f_{n}-f|^{p} \ d\mu =0 \end{align*}$$


I got stuck in one step of proving the Lemma

In one step, it showed that given any $\epsilon$, there exists a positive constant $C_{\epsilon,p}$ such that $$\begin{align*} \left| |f_{n}|^{p}-|f|^{p} -|f_{n}-f|^{p} \right| &\leq \left| |f_{n}|^{p} - |f_{n}-f|^{p} \right| +|f|^{p} \\ &\leq \epsilon|f_{n}-f|^{p}+C_{\epsilon,p} |f|^{p} +|f|^{p} \\ &= \epsilon|f_{n}-f|^{p}+( C_{\epsilon,p}+1) |f|^{p} \\ \left| |f_{n}|^{p}-|f|^{p} -|f_{n}-f|^{p} \right|- \epsilon|f_{n}-f|^{p} &\leq (C_{\epsilon,p}+1)|f|^{p} \end{align*}$$
Then it's clear that $(C_{\epsilon,p}+1)|f|^{p}$ is a $\mu$ integrable function on $X$ when $C_{\epsilon,p}$ is fixed . Then I hope I can use the Lebesgue Dominant Convergence Theorem. However, the theorem requires that $$\begin{align*} \left| \ \left| \ |f_{n}|^{p}-|f|^{p} -|f_{n}-f|^{p} \right|- \epsilon|f_{n}-f|^{p} \right| \leq (C_{\epsilon,p}+1)|f|^{p} \end{align*}$$ How can I show this? I guess one should use the fact $\epsilon$ can be arbitrarily small, so we have $$\begin{align*} \left| |f_{n}|^{p}-|f|^{p} -|f_{n}-f|^{p} \right|- \epsilon|f_{n}-f|^{p} \geq 0 \end{align*}$$ but I can't show this.

Any help with this? Thanks!

  • Hint: Show that $|f_{n}|^{p}-|f|^{p} -|f_{n}-f|^{p} |- \epsilon|f_{n}-f|^{p} \leq (C_{\epsilon,p}+1)|f|^{p} $ and $-(|f_{n}|^{p}-|f|^{p} -|f_{n}-f|^{p} |- \epsilon|f_{n}-f|^{p}) \leq (C_{\epsilon,p}+1)|f|^{p} $. You already know how to prove the first one and the second one is not hard. – Kavi Rama Murthy Jul 18 '24 at 23:15
