In this paper, the well-known Egoroff’s theorem in classical measure theory is established on monotone non-additive measure spaces. Taylor’s theorem, which concerns almost everywhere convergence of measurable function sequence in classical measure theory, is also generalized. The converse problem of the theorems are discussed, and a necessary and sufficient condition for the Egoroff’s theorem i...

The notion of a signed measure arises if a measure is allowed to take on both positive and negative values. A set that is both positive and negative with respect to a signed measure is termed as a null set. Some concepts in measure theory can be generalized by means of classes of null sets. An abstract formulation and proof of the Lebesgue decomposition theorem using the concept of null sets is...

In quantitative risk management, it is important and challenging to find sharp bounds for the distribution of the sum of dependent risks with given marginal distributions, but an unspecified dependence structure. These bounds are directly related to the problem of obtaining the worst Value-at-Risk of the total risk. Using the idea of the complete mixability, we provide a new lower bound for any...

Constructions of permutation arrays are presented that are optimal or nearlyoptimal with respect to two cost measures: the so-called longest-jump measure and the longest-monotone-greedy-subsequence measure. These measures arise in the context of scheduling problems in asynchronous, shared memory, multiprocessor machines. ∗Computer Science Department, Technion — Israel Institute of Technology, H...

In this note we study contractivity of monotone systems and exponential convergence positive using non-Euclidean norms. We first introduce the notion conic matrix measure as a framework to stability systems. properties measures investigate their connection with weak pairings standard measures. Using pairings, characterize incremental respect Moreover, use provide sufficient conditions for equil...

We introduce μ-convexity, a new kind of game convexity defined on a σ -algebra of a nonatomic finite measure space. We show that μ-convex games are μ-average monotone. Moreover, we show that μ-average monotone games are totally balanced and their core contains a nonatomic finite signed measure. We apply the results to the problem of partitioning a measurable space among a finite number of indiv...

We study tent spaces on general measure spaces (Ω, μ). We assume that there exists a semigroup of positive operators on Lp(Ω, μ) satisfying a monotone property but do not assume any geometric/metric structure on Ω. The semigroup plays the same role as integrals on cones and cubes in Euclidean spaces. We then study BMO spaces on general measure spaces and get an analogue of Fefferman’s H1-BMO du...

Our aim is to provide some convergence theorems for the Choquet integral with respect to various notions of convergence. For instance, the dominated convergence theorem for almost uniform convergence is related to autocontinuous set functions. Autocontinuity can also be related to convergence in measure, strict convergence or mean convergence. Whereas the monotone convergence theorem for almost...

In knowledge discovery and data mining many measures of interestingness have been proposed in order to measure the relevance and utility of the discovered patterns. Among these measures, an important role is played by Bayesian confirmation measures, which express in what degree a premise confirms a conclusion. In this paper, we are considering knowledge patterns in a form of “if..., then...” ru...
