Essential supremum and infimum #
We define the essential supremum and infimum of a function f : α → β with respect to a measure
μ on α. The essential supremum is the infimum of the constants c : β such that f x ≤ c
almost everywhere.
TODO: The essential supremum of functions α → ℝ≥0∞ is used in particular to define the norm in
the L∞ space (see Mathlib/MeasureTheory/Function/LpSeminorm/Defs.lean).
There is a different quantity which is sometimes also called essential supremum: the least
upper-bound among measurable functions of a family of measurable functions (in an almost-everywhere
sense). We do not define that quantity here, which is simply the supremum of a map with values in
α →ₘ[μ] β (see Mathlib/MeasureTheory/Function/AEEqFun.lean).
