Application Radon - Nikodym

1k Views Asked by At

I just learned about Radon-Nikodym theorem. However, I do not seem to have any intuition on how to apply it...

For example :

Let $(X,\mathscr{M},\lambda)$ be a $\sigma-$finite measure.

Let $f$ be $\mathscr{M}$ measurable.

Let $\mathscr{N} \subset \mathscr{M}$ be a $\sigma-$algebra.

Prove that there exists an $\mathscr{N}$ measurable function $g$ such that $$ \int_B f d\lambda = \int_B g d\lambda $$ for every $B\in \mathscr{N}$

Clearly this question feels like an application for the Radon-Nikodym theorem. However how can I find all the ingredients ? I have to find some signed measure $\mu$ which is absolutely continuous with respect to $\lambda$. Maybe $\mu(B) = \int_B f d\lambda$ is simply the answer.

Consider the measure space $(X,\mathcal{N},\lambda)$

Let $\mu(B)=\int_Bfd\lambda$

It is not difficult to see that $|\mu|<< \lambda$

Thus from Radon-Nikodym exists a function $g: X \to [0,+\infty)$ such that $$\int_Bfd\lambda=\mu(B)=\int_Bgd\lambda,\forall B \in \mathcal{N}$$
