$begingroup$

It is false in general: take a function that equals $1$ on some point, and $0$ everywhere else.



For continuous functions it is true.



Proof: suppose $f:[a,b]to mathbb{R}$ is continuous and not identically zero. Let $x_0 in [a,b]$ such that $f(x_0)neq 0$, then $f(x_0)^2 > 0$. Since $f$ is continuous, $f^2$ is also continuous so there exists an interval with non-empty interior containing $x_0$ where $f(x)^2 > eta$ where $eta = f(x_0)^2/2$. Let $ell > 0$ be the length of this interval. By breaking the interval into three pieces, and noticing that $f(x)^2geq 0$ for all $x in [a,b]$ one obtains that $int_a^b f^2 geq ell cdot eta > 0$. In particular, $int_a^b f^2 neq 0$.

$begingroup$

No, this is not true. For example you can pick $f(x)=0$ except for a finite set of points for which you can assign arbitrary nonzero values. Then the integral of $f^2$ is still $0$. Intuitively speaking, the integral measures the area behind the graph of the function, and modifying a finite set of points of the graph does not modify the area.

Your statement is true, if you change it like that



If $int_{a}^{b} f^2(x) = 0$ then $f(x) = 0$ a.e. (a.e. = almost everywhere).



And the opposite direction holds as well ... $ddotsmile$

      @user637244 Do you mean an example in which your conjecture is true, or an specific example of my argument?

      @lisyarus Well, technically you are right. What I was trying to say is that the statement is correct if you add "almost everywhere".

      @Klaus After you've identified functions that differ only on a set of measure zero, they are not functions anymore (contrary to the popular abuse of language).

      Can you give me an example of where this statement can be true?

    Your statement is true, if you change it like that



    If $int_{a}^{b} f^2(x) = 0$ then $f(x) = 0$ a.e. (a.e. = almost everywhere).



    And the opposite direction holds as well ... $ddotsmile$
