monotone class theorem application, equality!

161 Views Asked by At

Ive been struggling trying to really learn what the monotone class theorem is about. I got the following problem:

Let $(\Omega,F)$ a measurable space and $\mathbb{A}\subset F$ an algebra. Let $\mu$ and $\upsilon$ two $\sigma-finite$ measures over $(\Omega,F)$ such that $\mu(A)=\upsilon(A)$ for all $A\in\mathbb{A}$. Show that $\mu(A)=\upsilon(A)$ for all $A\in \sigma(A)$.

PROOF:

Let $M=\{A\in \sigma(\mathbb{A}): \mu(A)=\upsilon(A)\}$

  1. Let $(B_{j})_{j}\subset M$ s.t $B_{1}\subset B_{2}\subset...$

$\mu(\bigcup_{j}B_{j})=lim_{j\rightarrow \infty}\mu(B_{j})$ by continuity over $\mu$.

$lim_{j\rightarrow \infty} \mu(B_{j}))=lim_{j\rightarrow \infty} \upsilon(B_{j})$ by hypothesis.

$lim_{j\rightarrow \infty} \upsilon(B_{j})=\upsilon(\bigcup_{j}B_{j})$ by continuity of the measure.

Then $\bigcup_{j}B_{j}\in M$

  1. Let $(B_{j})_{j}\subset M$ s.t $B_{1}\supset B_{2}\supset...$

$\mu(\bigcap_{j}B_{j})=lim_{j\rightarrow \infty}\mu(B_{j})$ by continuity over $\mu$ and $\sigma-finite$.

$lim_{j\rightarrow \infty} \mu(B_{j}))=lim_{j\rightarrow \infty} \upsilon(B_{j})$ by hypothesis.

$lim_{j\rightarrow \infty} \upsilon(B_{j})=\upsilon(\bigcap_{j}B_{j})$ by continuity of the measure and $\sigma-finite$.

Then , $\bigcap_{j}B_{j} \in M$

Finally, M is a monotone class, therefore $M\supset M(\mathbb{A})=\sigma(\mathbb{A})$

Is this proof correct?

Please, need all the possible help you can give cause this thing of monotone class stuff is making me really hard to keep forward with my study :c!

Thanks so much in advance!
