An integral problem with the measure of a set in the integrand

30 Views Asked by At

Let $f$ be a non-negative, measurable function on a $\sigma$-finite measure space $(X,\mathcal{B},\mu)$. Let $E\in\mathcal{B}$ and let \begin{equation} \phi_E(t)=\mu(\{x\in E: f(x)>t\}). \end{equation} Prove that \begin{equation} \int_E\log(1+f(x))\,\mathrm{d}\mu(x)= \int_0^\infty\frac{1}{1+t}\phi_E(t)\,\mathcal{d}t. \end{equation}

Is Fubini's theorem a viable approach? How is the condition of $\sigma$-finiteness to be used?
