\section{Measurable Functions into Metric Spaces}
\label{section:measurable-metric}
\begin{proposition}
\label{proposition:metric-measurable-fibre-product}
Let $(X, \cm)$, $(Z, \cn)$ be measurable spaces, $\seqf{Y_j}$ separable metrisable topological spaces, $F: \prod_{j = 1}^n Y_j \to Z$ be a $(\cb_{\prod_{j = 1}^n Y_j}, \cn)$-measurable function. For any $\seqf{f_j}$ where for each $1 \le j \le n$, $f_j: X \to Y_j$ is $(\cm, \cb_{Y_j})$-measurable, the composition
\[
X \to Z \quad x \mapsto F(f_1(x), \cdots, f_n(x))
\]
is $(\cm, \cn)$-measurable.
\end{proposition}
\begin{proof}
By \ref{proposition:product-sigma-algebra-metric}, $\cb_{\prod_{j = 1}^n Y_j} = \bigotimes_{j = 1}^n \cb_{Y_j}$, so
\[
X \to \prod_{j = 1}^n Y_j \quad x \mapsto (f_1(x), \cdots, f_n(x))
\]
is $(\cm, \cb_{\prod_{j = 1}^n Y_j})$-measurable. Therefore the composition is $(\cm, \cn)$-measurable.
\end{proof}
\begin{proposition}
\label{proposition:metric-measurables}
Let $(X, \cm)$ be a measurable space, $Y$ be a metrisable topological space, $f, g: X \to Y$ be $(\cm, \cb_Y)$-measurable functions, then the following functions are measurable:
\begin{enumerate}
\item For any metric $d$ on $Y$, $x \mapsto d(f(x), f(y))$.
\item If $Y$ is a TVS over $K \in \RC$ and $\lambda \in K$, $\lambda f + g$. In particular, $\bracs{f = g} \in \cm$.
\item If $Y \in \RC$, $fg$.
\end{enumerate}
\end{proposition}
\begin{proof}
By \ref{proposition:metric-measurable-fibre-product}.
\end{proof}
\begin{proposition}
\label{proposition:metric-measurable-compose}
Let $(X, \cm)$ be a measurable space, $Y$ be a metrisable topological space, and $f: X \to Y$ be a function, then the following are equivalent:
\begin{enumerate}
\item $f$ is $(\cm, \cb_Y)$-measurable.
\item For each $\phi \in C(X; [0, 1])$, $\phi \circ f$ is $(\cm, \cb_\real)$-measurable.
\end{enumerate}
\end{proposition}
\begin{proof}
(2) $\Rightarrow$ (1): For each $U \subset X$ open, the function
\[
d_{U^c}: X \to [0, 1] \quad x \mapsto d(x, U^c) \wedge 1
\]
is continuous by \ref{proposition:set-distance-continuous}. By \ref{proposition:fattening-closure}, $\bracsn{d_{U^c} > 0} = U$. Thus $\bracs{f \in U} = \bracsn{d_{U^c} \circ f > 0}$.
\end{proof}
\begin{proposition}
\label{proposition:metric-measurable-limit}
Let $(X, \cm)$ be a measurable space, $Y$ be a metrisable topological space, and $\seq{f_n}$ be $(\cm, \cb_Y)$-measurable functions, then:
\begin{enumerate}
\item If $Y$ is completely metrisable, then $\bracsn{\limv{n}f_n \text{ exists}} \in \cm$.
\item If $f = \limv{n}f_n$ exists, then it is $(\cm, \cb_Y)$-measurable.
\end{enumerate}
\end{proposition}
\begin{proof}
(1): Let $d$ be a complete metric on $Y$, then for any $x \in X$, $\limv{n}f_n(x)$ exists if and only if $\seq{f_n(x)}$ is Cauchy. In which case,
\[
\bracs{\limv{n}f_n \text{ exists}} = \bigcap_{k \in \natp}\bigcup_{N \in \natp}\bigcap_{m \in \natp}\bigcap_{n \in \natp}\bracsn{d(f_m, f_n) < 1/k}
\]
is measurable by \ref{proposition:metric-measurables}.
(2): For each $\phi \in C(X; [0, 1])$, $\phi \circ f = \limv{n}\phi \circ f_n$ is $(\cm, \cb_\real)$-measurable by \ref{proposition:limit-measurable}. Thus $f$ is $(\cm, \cb_\real)$-measurable by \ref{proposition:metric-measurable-compose}.
\end{proof}
\begin{proposition}
\label{proposition:measurable-simple-separable}
Let $(X, \cm)$ be a measurable space, $Y$ be a separable metric space, $N: Y \to 2^Y$\footnote{This mapping is typically obtained as slices of the level sets of a continuous function $Y \times Y \to \real$.}, and $f: X \to Y$ such that
\begin{enumerate}
\item[(a)] For each $y \in Y$, $y \in \ol{N(y)^o}$.
\item[(b)] $\bigcap_{y \in Y}N(y) \ne \emptyset$.
\item[(c)] For any $y \in Y$, $\bracs{x \in X|y \in N(f(x))} \in \cm$.
\end{enumerate}
then the following are equivalent:
\begin{enumerate}
\item $f$ is $(\cm, \cb_Y)$-measurable.
\item There exists a sequence $\seq{f_n}$ of $(\cm, \cb_Y)$-measurable simple functions such that
\begin{enumerate}
\item[(i)] For each $x \in X$ and $n \in \natp$, $f_n(x) \in N(f(x))$.
\item[(ii)] $f_n \to f$ pointwise.
\end{enumerate}
\item There exists a sequence $\seq{f_n}$ of $(\cm, \cb_Y)$-measurable simple functions such that $f_n \to f$ pointwise.
\end{enumerate}
\end{proposition}
\begin{proof}
(1) $\Rightarrow$ (2): Let $\seq{y_n} \subset Y$ be a dense subset of $Y$. Assume without loss of generality that $y_1 \in \bigcap_{y \in Y}N(y)$. For each $N \in \nat$ and $x \in X$, let
\[
C(N, x) = \bracs{1 \le n \le N|y_n \in N(f(x))}
\]
By assumption (b), $1 \in C(N, x) \ne \emptyset$. Let
\[
k(N, x) = \min\bracs{n \in C(N, x) \bigg | d(f(x), y_n) = \min_{m \in C(N, x)}d(f(x), y_m)}
\]
then for any $k \in \natp$,
\[
\bracs{x \in X|k(n, x) \le k} = \bigcup_{j = 1}^k\bracs{x \in X \bigg |y_j \in C(n, x), d(f(x), y_j) = \min_{m \in C(N, x)}d(f(x), y_m)}
\]
For each $1 \le m \le N$, $y \mapsto d(y, y_m)$ is continuous. Thus $x \mapsto d(f(x), y_m)$ and $x \mapsto \min_{m \in C(N, x)}d(f(x), y_m)$ are $(\cm, \cb_\real)$-measurable by \ref{proposition:limit-measurable} and assumption (c). By \ref{proposition:metric-measurables},
\[
\bracs{x \in X \bigg | d(f(x), y_j) = \min_{m \in C(N, x)}d(f(x), y_m)} \in \cm
\]
for each $1 \le j \le k$. Combining this with assumption (c) shows that $\bracs{x \in X|k(n, x) \le k} \in \cm$.
Let $f_N(x) = y_{k(N, x)}$, then for each $N \in \natp$, $f_N(x) \subset \bracs{y_n|1 \le n \le N}$, so $f_N(x)$ is finitely valued. Since $x \mapsto k{(N, x)}$ is $(\cm, 2^\nat)$-measurable, $f_N$ is $(\cm, \cb_Y)$-measurable.
Fix $x \in X$, then
\[
f(x) \in \ol{N^o(f(x))} = \ol{\bracs{y_n| n \in \natp, y_n \in N^o(f(x))}}
\]
by assumption (a) and \ref{definition:dense}. Thus for any $\eps > 0$, there exists $N \in \nat$ such that $y_N \in N^o(f(x))$ and $d(f(x), y_N) < \eps$. In which case, $d(f(x), f_n(x)) < \eps$ for all $n \ge N$. Therefore $f_n \to f$ pointwise.
(3) $\Rightarrow$ (1): By \ref{proposition:metric-measurable-limit}.
\end{proof}
