Choquet type L-1-spaces of a vector capacity

[EN] Given a set function Lambda with values in a Banach space X, we construct an integration theory for scalar functions with respect to Lambda by using duality on Xand Choquet scalar integrals. Our construction extends the classical Bartle-Dunford-Schwartz integration for vector measures. Since just the minimal necessary conditions on Lambda are required, several L-1-spaces of integrable functions associated to Lambda appear in such a way that the integration map can be defined in them. We study the properties of these spaces and how they are related. We show that the behavior of the L-1-spaces and the integration map can be improved in the case when Xis an order continuous Banach lattice, providing new tools for (non-linear) operator theory and information sciences.

Representation of maxitive measures: an overview

Idempotent integration is an analogue of Lebesgue integration where $\sigma$-maxitive measures replace $\sigma$-additive measures. In addition to reviewing and unifying several Radon--Nikodym like theorems proven in the literature for the idempotent integral, we also prove new results of the same kind.Comment: 40 page

A Discrete Choquet Integral for Ordered Systems

A model for a Choquet integral for arbitrary finite set systems is presented. The model includes in particular the classical model on the system of all subsets of a finite set. The general model associates canonical non-negative and positively homogeneous superadditive functionals with generalized belief functions relative to an ordered system, which are then extended to arbitrary valuations on the set system. It is shown that the general Choquet integral can be computed by a simple Monge-type algorithm for so-called intersection systems, which include as a special case weakly union-closed families. Generalizing Lov\'asz' classical characterization, we give a characterization of the superadditivity of the Choquet integral relative to a capacity on a union-closed system in terms of an appropriate model of supermodularity of such capacities

The idempotent Radon--Nikodym theorem has a converse statement

Idempotent integration is an analogue of the Lebesgue integration where $\sigma$-additive measures are replaced by $\sigma$-maxitive measures. It has proved useful in many areas of mathematics such as fuzzy set theory, optimization, idempotent analysis, large deviation theory, or extreme value theory. Existence of Radon--Nikodym derivatives, which turns out to be crucial in all of these applications, was proved by Sugeno and Murofushi. Here we show a converse statement to this idempotent version of the Radon--Nikodym theorem, i.e. we characterize the $\sigma$-maxitive measures that have the Radon--Nikodym property.Comment: 13 page
