E is a measurable set.
 A function f on a closed interval is said to be a step function if a
partition

STEP Of the interval such that in every subinterval

Then function f is constant,
FUNCTION
Here,
  A function defines as,

 Suppose that and

𝑎 c b
This is the actual formation of step function

 A signum function f defined as,

is a step function.
EXAMPLE
S 1
𝑥> 0

¿0 0 ¿0
𝑥< 0
-1
 Every step function is a simple function but converse is not true.
Proof:
A function defined as

is a step function.

NOTE For simple function, we need measurable set.

As every closed interval is always a measurable set and its partitioned intervals are
measurable sets such that

 Intersection of any two open intervals is empty.

So, step function satisfy both conditions of simple function

And ineach open interval (), the value of f is constant.

. Hence f is a simple function.

Hence prove, every step function is a simple function

 Converse is not true.

Every simple function may or may not be step function.

Define a function as

CONVERS Both are measurable set.

E R R
Q
𝒇 ( 𝒙 ) =𝟏
R-Q 𝒇 ( 𝒙 ) =𝟎

This is a simple function.

So this is not a step function because set of rational and irrational numbers are not intervals.
