Lebesgue point

In mathematics, given a Lebesgue integrable function f, a point x in the domain of f is a Lebesgue point if

\lim_{r\rightarrow 0^+}\frac{1}{|B(x,r)|}\int_{B(x,r)} \!|f(y)-f(x)|\,dy=0.

Here, B(x,r) is the ball centered at x with radius r, and | B(x,r) | is the Lebesgue measure of that ball.

It can be shown that, given any f as above, almost every x is a Lebesgue point.
