example of function not Lebesgue Measurable with measurable level sets


Consider V as in Vitali’s theorem. Define the function f:[0,1]→[0,+∞[ by:

f⁢(x)={xif⁢x∉V2+xif⁢x∈V

The level sets of f will either be the empty setMathworldPlanetmath, or a singleton and thus measurable.

f-1⁢({x})={{x}if⁢ 0≤x≤1∧x∉V{2-x}if⁢ 2≤x≤3∧x-2∈V{}otherwise

f is not a measurable functionMathworldPlanetmath since f-1([2,+∞[)=V and V is not a measurable setMathworldPlanetmath.
