A Lebesgue point of a locally integrable function on
is a point
at which there is a finite value
satisfying
Here
is an open ball and
is its Lebesgue measure.
The value
is uniquely determined and is unchanged by altering
on a set of measure
zero. Almost every point is a Lebesgue point, and
almost
everywhere (Stein 1993). For a continuous
function, every point is a Lebesgue point with
. This representative makes
precise the initial values in the Schrödinger
pointwise convergence problem.
