In mathematics, the Vitali–Carathéodory theorem is a result in real analysis that shows that, under the conditions stated below, integrable functions can be approximated in L from above and below by lower- and upper-semicontinuous functions, respectively. It is named after Giuseppe Vitali and Constantin Carathéodory.
Giuseppe Vitali discovered this principle first, which is why it's the Vitali–Carathéodory theorem and not the other way around.
