Introduction
Under certain assumptions that we will specify further, it is possible to obtain the existence of a secondary measure and even to express it.
For example if one works in the Hilbert space L2(, R, ρ)
with
in the general case, or:
when ρ satisfies a Lipschitz condition.
This application φ is called the reducer of ρ.
More generally, μ et ρ are linked by their Stieltjes transformation with the following formula:
in which c1 is the moment of order 1 of the measure ρ.
These secondary measures, and the theory around them, lead to some surprising results, and make it possible to find in an elegant way quite a few traditional formulas of analysis, mainly around the Euler Gamma function, Riemann Zeta function, and Euler's constant.
They also allowed the clarification of integrals and series with a tremendous effectiveness, though it is a priori difficult.
Finally they make it possible to solve integral equations of the form
where g is the unknown function, and lead to theorems of convergence towards the Chebyshev and Dirac measures.

Famous quotes containing the word introduction:
“Such is oftenest the young man’s introduction to the forest, and the most original part of himself. He goes thither at first as a hunter and fisher, until at last, if he has the seeds of a better life in him, he distinguishes his proper objects, as a poet or naturalist it may be, and leaves the gun and fish-pole behind. The mass of men are still and always young in this respect.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Do you suppose I could buy back my introduction to you?”
—S.J. Perelman, U.S. screenwriter, Arthur Sheekman, Will Johnstone, and Norman Z. McLeod. Groucho Marx, Monkey Business, a wisecrack made to his fellow stowaway Chico Marx (1931)
“For better or worse, stepparenting is self-conscious parenting. You’re damned if you do, and damned if you don’t.”
