Abstract

We show that if {F_n} is a sequence of uniformly L^p-bounded functions on a measure space, and if F_n →F pointwise a.e., then lim_n__∞{||F_n||^p_p-|| F_n-F||^p_p } = ||F_n||^p_p for all 0 <p <∞. This result is also generalized in Theorem 2 to some functionals other than the Lp norm, namely F|j(f_n)— j(f_n—f)— j (F_n) I →0 f°r suitable/: C →C and a suitable sequence {f_n}. A brief discussion is given of the usefulness of this result in variational problems.
