Relations between $\mathcal{L}^p$- and Pointwise Convergence of Families of Functions Indexed by the Unit Interval

We construct a variety of mappings of the unit interval into $\mathcal{L}^p([0,1])$ to generalize classical examples of $\mathcal{L}^p$-convergence of sequences of functions with simultaneous pointwise divergence. By establishing relations between the regularity of the functions in the image of the mappings and the topology of $[0,1]$, we obtain examples which are $\mathcal{L}^p$-continuous but exhibit discontinuity in a pointwise sense to different degrees. We conclude by proving an Egorov-type theorem, namely that if almost every function in the image is continuous, then we can remove a set of arbitrarily small measure from the index set $[0,1]$ and establish pointwise limits for all functions in the remaining image.
