Time-scale Calculus - Measure Theory On Time Scales

Measure Theory On Time Scales

Associated with every time scale is a natural measure defined via

where denotes Lebesgue measure and is the backward shift operator defined on . The delta integral turns out to be the usual Lebesgue–Stieltjes integral with respect to this measure

and the delta derivative turns out to be the Radon–Nikodym derivative with respect to this measure

Famous quotes containing the words measure, theory, time and/or scales:

    “A solitary traveler whom we saw perambulating in the distance loomed like a giant. He appeared to walk slouchingly, as if held up from above by straps under his shoulders, as much as supported by the plain below. Men and boys would have appeared alike at a little distance, there being no object by which to measure them. Indeed, to an inlander, the Cape landscape is a constant mirage.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Could Shakespeare give a theory of Shakespeare?”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Whatever happens, every individual is a child of his time; so philosophy too is its own time apprehended in thoughts. It is just as absurd to fancy that a philosophy can transcend its contemporary world as it is to fancy that an individual can overleap his own age, jump over Rhodes.”
    —Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)

    “Love once
    Tipped the scales but now is shadowed, invisible,
    Though mysteriously present, around somewhere.”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)
