What is the integral used in this notation?

58 Views Asked by At

The following integral is from wikipedia. What is the integral used here? Is it Lebesgue? But doesnt Lebesgue integral have a measure after d, so it is sth like $\int f dP$ where P is a measure? Or is it Lebesgue stieltjes integral? But doesnt lebesgue stieltjes have a distribution function after d? so it is sth like $\int f dQ$ where Q is a distribution function?

What is this?

$$P{\big (}A\cap T^{{-1}}(B){\big )}=\int _{B}\nu (x,A)\,P{\big (}T^{{-1}}(dx){\big )}.$$

$P(T^{-1}(dx))$ is alternative notation for $dT_*P(x)$, where $T_*P$ is the pushforward measure of $P$ along $T$. So they mean Lebesgue integral here.

In general $\mu(dx)$ is alternative notation for $d\mu(x)$.
