As far as I understand, every countable set is a Lebesgue null set.
Does that mean that the following sets are also Lebesgue null sets? In my opinion, they are all countable as we just multiply/ add a real number. Is that correct?
- {$az:z\in \mathbb Z$} for all $a \in R$ (I'm not 100 % sure about that one, as it multiplies the z with a real number)
- {$a+z:z\in \mathbb Z$} for all $a \in R$
- {$a+q:q\in \mathbb Q$} for all $a \in R$
- {$aq:q\in \mathbb Q$} for all $a \in R$
- Every finite union of the above mentioned sets is a Lebesgue null set
Yes, they are countable, since they can all be seen as the image of a countable set via some mapping:
Since $\mathbb Z$ and $\mathbb Q$ are countable, their images via any map are too. Hence, all the above sets are countable and therefore they are Lebesgue null.
For 5, simply note that a finite union of countable sets is again countable.
