Locally Integrable


A locally integrable measurable function on an open set U subset= R^n is one for which, around every point in its domain, there is a neighborhood on which it is Lebesgue integrable (Hunter 2011, p. 63). The space of locally integrable functions is denoted L_(loc)^1. Any Lebesgue integrable function is also locally integrable. One possibility for a nonintegrable function which is locally integrable is if it does not decay at infinity. For instance, f(x)=1 is locally integrable on R, as is any continuous function on R.
