Is this the same subspace? integrable functions and continuous functions

integrationreal-analysisvector-spaces

The set of real-valued continuous functions on R is vector space, V.

The integrable AND real-valued, continuous functions is a subspace, W of V.

(The "integrable functions" isn't a subspace, because integrable function might not be continuous!)

A different vector space is the real-valued, integrable functions, call it F.

The continuous, AND integrable, real-valued functions are subspace of F… is this set W again?

Best Answer

What is the difference between "integrable and real-valued and continuous" and "continuous and integrable and real-valued"? No matter how you permute these adjectives, they still define the same vector space, which injects as a sub-vector space into both $V$ and $F$. So the answer is yes, and $W$ is actually the intersection of $F$ and $V$, if we see them as sub-vector spaces of the vector space of all real-valued functions.
