a) Prove that $ \lim_{n\rightarrow\infty} \|f\|_p = \|f\|_{\infty} $

Let $ M = \|f\|_{\infty} $ If $ M^{\prime} < M $, then $ \omega(M') = \left|{x\mid f(x) > M^{\prime}}\right| = |A|>0. $

$ \|f\|_p \geq \left(\int_A|f|^p\right)^{\frac{1}{p}} \geq M^{\prime}|A|^{\frac{1}{p}} $

As $ p \rightarrow \infty, |A|^{\frac{1}{p}} \rightarrow 1 \Rightarrow \liminf_{p\rightarrow\infty}\|f\|_p \geq M^{\prime} $ so $ \liminf_{p\rightarrow\infty}\|f\|_p \geq M $

$ \|f\|_p \leq \left(\int_X M^p\right)^{\frac{1}{p}} = M|X|^{\frac{1}{p}} $, where $ X $ is our probability space.

$ \limsup_{p \rightarrow \infty}\|f\|_p \leq M $

$ \lim_{p \rightarrow \infty}\|f\|_p = M $


b) Prove that $ \lim_{n\rightarrow\infty} \frac{\int_X|f|^{n+1}d\mu}{\int_X|f|^nd\mu} = \|f\|_{\infty} $

$ \int_X|f|^{n+1} \leq \|f\|_{\infty}\int_X|f|^n $, by Holder's Inequality

$ \Rightarrow \frac{\int_X|f|^{n+1}}{\int_X|f|^{n}} \leq \|f\|_{\infty} \limsup{\frac{\int_X|f|^{n+1}}{\int_X|f|^{n}}} \leq \|f\|_{\infty} $

Consider $ \varphi(t)= t^{\frac{n+1}{n}} $ and notice it is convex so $ \frac{\int_X|f|^{n+1}}{\int_X|f|^{n}} \geq \frac{\left(\int_X|f|^{n}\right)^{\frac{n+1}{n}}}{\int_X|f|^{n}} = \left(\int_X|f|^{n}\right)^{\frac{1}{n}} \nearrow \|f\|_{\infty} $

$ \liminf\frac{\int_X|f|^{n+1}}{\int_X|f|^{n}} \geq \|f\|_{\infty} $

Thus $ \lim_{n\rightarrow\infty} \frac{\int_X|f|^{n+1}d\mu}{\int_X|f|^nd\mu} = \|f\|_{\infty} $

c) Are the results above true for any finite measure space? For any measure space?

Any finite measure space is equivalent to a probability space hence the above parts hold. However, on an infinite measure space consider the constant function $ f(x)=c $. We find that $ \|f\|_{\infty} =c $, but $ f(x) \notin L^p $ for $ 0 \leq p < \infty $
