Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the transformation of the Lebesgue integral, specifically focusing on the application of the transformation theorem in the context of measurable transformations. Participants explore how to apply this theorem to derive results similar to a known transformation of integrals.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Technical explanation
  • Mathematical reasoning

Main Points Raised

  • One participant defines a function F(x) and discusses the Lebesgue-Stieltjes measure, raising a question about applying the transformation theorem to obtain a specific integral transformation.
  • Another participant prompts clarification on the definitions of the sets X, Y, and the transformation T in the context of the problem.
  • A participant identifies X and Y as R and proposes T as sqrt(y), but expresses confusion about the implications of this choice and the explicit expression of duT^-1.
  • One participant suggests that a Radon-Nikodym derivative is necessary for the transformation, providing a formula involving the derivative and questioning how to proceed with the problem.
  • A later reply reiterates the need for the Radon-Nikodym derivative and expresses uncertainty about its application in this specific case, seeking further assistance.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus on the application of the transformation theorem or the use of the Radon-Nikodym derivative, indicating ongoing uncertainty and exploration of the topic.

Contextual Notes

There are unresolved questions regarding the explicit expression of duT^-1 and the proper application of the Radon-Nikodym derivative in this context. The discussion reflects a dependence on the definitions and assumptions made about the transformation and the measures involved.

define F(x)=x, then uF is the lebesgue stiljes measure
duF=dx
Let y=x^2
we all know that how to transform [tex]\int f(y)dy[/tex] into [tex]\int f(x^2)2xdx[/tex] (***)
But how exactly would one use the transformation theorem ?
Ie. T be a measurable transformation from X to Y, u is a measure on X
[tex]\int_{Y}fduT^{-1}=\int_{X}fTdu[/tex]

I want to see the transformation theorem in action otherwise it's too abstract for me to understand. My question is, how would one use the transformation theorem to obtain the same result as equation (***)?

You should ask yourself the following question: what are X, Y and T in this case?
 
X is R
Y is R
T is sqrt(y)
T-1 is y^2

then?
[tex]\int_{Y}fduT^{-1}=\int_{X}fdu y^2 ?[/tex] doesn't make a lot of sense

what is the explicit expression of duT^-1 in this example?
 
You need a Radon-Nikodym derivative in there. We have,

[tex]\int g(T(x)) d\mu(x) = \int g(y) \frac{d(\mu T^{-1})}{d\mu}(y) \: d\mu(y).[/tex]

I wonder whether someone could write the next step on the solution of this problem. I must confess that I didn't figure out how to use Radon-Nikodym derivative in this case.

Many thanks
