Lebesgue constant (interpolation) In mathematics, the Lebesgue constants (depending on a set of nodes and of its size) give an idea of how good the interpolant of a function (at the given nodes) is in comparison with the best polynomial approximation of the function (the degree of the polynomials are obviously fixed). The Lebesgue function for polynomials of degree at most n and for the set of (n+1) nodes T is generally denoted by Lambda_n(T).
Lebesgue covering dimension In mathematics, the Lebesgue covering dimension or topological dimension of a topological space is defined to be the minimum value of n, such that any open cover has a refinement in which no point is included in more than n+1 elements. In this context, a refinement is a second open cover such that every set of the second open cover is a subset of some set in the first open cover.
Lebesgue integration In mathematics, the integral of a nonnegative function can be regarded in the simplest case as the area between the graph of that function and the x-axis.

Lebesgue's density theorem In mathematics, Lebesgue's density theorem states that for any Lebesgue measurable set A, the "density" of A is 1 at almost every point in A.
