Let $\mu, \nu$ be two mutually singular measures (say, on a segment), $w_n\in L^1(\mu)$ weights ($w_n\ge 0$, $\int w_nd\mu=1$) that $\ast$-weakly tend to $\nu$: $\int fw_n\,d\mu\to \int f\,d\nu \qquad(\ast)$ for any continuous function $f$. Then 1) the convergence holds for some discontinuous $f$ (now I am able to prove this if the set of discontinuities of $f$ is a closed set of zero $\nu$-measure), and 2) there exist $f\in L^\infty$ for which the convergence fails (otherwise by the weak sequential completeness of $L^1$ the limit measure must correspond to a function from $L^1(\mu)$; I know an approach allowing to produce examples of such functions $f$ taking values $0, 1$).

Are there any known results about the characterization of those $f\in L^\infty(\mu)$ for which the convergence $(\ast)$ holds/fails?

    To say that the convergence holds, one should first define the values of $f$ $\nu$-almost everywhere. In my example 1) this is the usual extension by continuity; one can also consider natural generalizations if we manage to establish the fact of convergence of the sequence (to some limit).2012-03-27
