SUMMARY

The geometric interpretation of the measure √2 μ relates to the unique positive regular measure on B(R²) in real analysis. Specifically, for any continuous function f in C_c(R²), the relationship λf = ∫_R² f dμ holds true. When considering a simple function such as f = 1, the integral computes the area, and the measure √2 μ effectively scales this area by a factor of √2. This scaling indicates that the measure alters the geometric representation of the area in the context of integration.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of real analysis concepts, particularly measures and integrals.
  • Familiarity with the properties of Riemann and Lebesgue integrals.
  • Knowledge of continuous functions in C_c(R²).

NEXT STEPS
  • Explore the properties of the unique positive regular measure on B(R²).
  • Study the relationship between Riemann and Lebesgue integrals in detail.
  • Investigate the implications of scaling measures in geometric contexts.
  • Learn about the applications of measures in real analysis and their geometric interpretations.
USEFUL FOR

Students and educators in real analysis, mathematicians interested in measure theory, and anyone seeking to understand the geometric implications of scaling measures in two-dimensional spaces.

This is part 2 of a question... I already solved part 1 but I can't seem to be able to solve this one.
Interpret the measure √2 μ geometrically?

Any ideas... This is from real analysis class

Thanks in advance!

λf=∫(from R to Riemann) f(tt)dt for all f in C_c(R^2).
 
Re: Measure... Geometrically?

I could be wrong, but it seems to me that this question could be answered much more easily (that is, intuitively) by thinking about the corresponding Riemann integral. It's a fact that if the function is Riemann integrable, then
$$\int_{ \mathbb{R}^{2}} f \, dA = \int_{ \mathbb{R}^{2}} f \, d\mu.$$
So take an example, and make $f$ really simple, say $f=1$. Then your integral is simply computing area. Your new measure, $\sqrt{2} \mu$, simply multiplies your area by $\sqrt{2}$, since constants pull out of integrals (at least, they pull out of Riemann and Lebesgue integrals). What is going on geometrically for that to happen?
