Abstract
In many recent articles, medians have been used as a replacement of integral averages when the function fails to be locally integrable. A point x in a metric measure space (X, d, μ) is called a generalized Lebesgue point of a measurable function f if the medians of f over the balls B(x, r) converge to f(x) when r converges to 0. We know that almost every point of a measurable, almost everywhere finite function is a generalized Lebesgue point and the same is true for every point of a continuous function. We show that a function f ∈ M s,p(X), 0 < s ≤ 1, 0 < p < 1, where X is a doubling metric measure space, has generalized Lebesgue points outside a set of \(\mathcal{H}^h\)-Hausdorff measure zero for a suitable gauge function h.
