Category:Radon-Nikodym Derivatives
This category contains results about Radon-Nikodym Derivatives.
Definitions specific to this category can be found in Definitions/Radon-Nikodym Derivatives.
Let $\struct {X, \Sigma}$ be a measurable space.
Let $\map {\mathcal M^+} {X, \Sigma, \R}$ be the space of positive real-valued measurable functions.
Let $\mu$ and $\nu$ be $\sigma$-finite measures on $\struct {X, \Sigma}$ such that:
- $\nu$ is absolutely continuous with respect to $\mu$.
Let $\sim$ be the $\mu$-almost everywhere equality relation on $\map {\mathcal M} {X, \Sigma, \R}$ restricted to the space of positive real-valued measurable functions $\map {\mathcal M^+} {X, \Sigma, \R}$.
We say that a $\Sigma$-measurable function $g : X \to \hointr 0 \infty$ is a Radon-Nikodym derivative of $\nu$ with respect to $\mu$, if and only if:
- $\ds \map \nu A = \int_A g \rd \mu$
for each $A \in \Sigma$.
We also define an element of $\map {\mathcal M^+} {X, \Sigma, \R}/\sim$ by:
- $\ds \frac {\d \nu} {\d \mu} = \eqclass g \sim$
where $\eqclass g \sim$ is the equivalence class of $g$ under $\sim$, which may be called the Radon-Nikodym derivative of $\nu$ with respect to $\mu$.
