Talk:Lebesgue differentiation theorem

"The theorem also holds if cubes are replaced by arbitrary sets with diameter tending to zero, in the definition of the derivative."

I find this sentence confusing, and recommend its removal for two reasons: (1) The theorem is stated with balls. (2) I think it is false e.g. for thin rectangles pointing in arbitrary directions. See Chap. II and X in E. M. Stein, Harmonic Analysis.

Ah. It's true for sets of bounded eccentricity. So not arbitrary sets, but ... I'll see if I can find a way to work it in. RayAYang (talk) 22:43, 2 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

oops. Already there. Silly me. RayAYang (talk) 16:15, 3 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
