Assume that $f in L^1 ([0,infty))$ is a real continuous function on $[0,infty)$.



Can we then conclude that $f in L^p ([0,infty))$ for $p in [1, infty)$?

  • I guess $f(x) = 1$ is a real continuous function on $[0,infty)$. Is it in $L^p$?

This is false. To build a counterexample, consider functions $g_n(x)$ that is non-zero only on $(n, n + 2n^{-3})$, piecewise linear, with $g_n(n) = g_n(n+2n^{-3}) = 0$ and $g_n(n+n^{-3}) = n$. Then,
$$
int g_n(x) dx = frac12 n cdot 2n^{-3} = n^{-2}.
$$

Since for $n geq 2$ functions $g_n$ have disjoint support, if we define $f = sum_{n geq 2} g_n$ then $f in L^1([0, infty))$. However, if we take $p = 2$, we have that
$$
int g_n(x)^2 dx geq int_{n + frac12 n^{-3}}^{n + frac32 n^{-3}} (frac12 n)^2 dx = frac14 n^{-1}.
$$

This implies $int f^2 geq frac14 sum_{n geq 2} n^{-1} = infty$.
