Lebesgue is a small impact crater on the eastern edge of the front of the moon to the east of the Mare Smythii plain , southeast of Warner crater and northeast of Tucker . The crater is very flat, since the interior of the lava the Mare was flooded.
The crater was officially named by the IAU in 1976 after the French mathematician Henri Léon Lebesgue .
