Almost discrete convergence (Q4953577)

Starting from the concept of discrete convergence due to the reviewer and \textit{M. Laczkovich} [Studia Sci. Math. Hungar. 10, 463-472 (1975; Zbl 0405.26006)], the authors define two kinds of convergence. Let \((X,\mu)\) be a measure space, \(f_n\) and \(f\) measurable functions on \(X\). We say that \(f_n\) converges almost discretely to \(f\) iff, for every \(\varepsilon> 0\), there exists \(n_\varepsilon\in \mathbb{N}\) such that \(\mu(\{x\in X: f_k(x)\neq f(x)\) for some \(k\geq n\})< \varepsilon\) for \(n> n_\varepsilon\); \(f_n\) converges discretely in measure to \(f\) iff, for every \(\varepsilon> 0\), there exists \(n_\varepsilon\in \mathbb{N}\) such that \(\mu(\{x\in X: f_n(x)\neq f(x)\})< \varepsilon\) for \(n> n_\varepsilon\). They examine connection of these concepts with other kinds of convergence and give other equivalent descriptions. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0934.00032].
