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:

    “One measure of a civilization, either of an age or of a single individual, is what that age or person really wishes to do. A man’s hope measures his civilization. The attainability of the hope measures, or may measure, the civilization of his nation and time.”
    —Ezra Pound (1885–1972)

    “We commonly say that the rich man can speak the truth, can afford honesty, can afford independence of opinion and action;—and that is the theory of nobility. But it is the rich man in a true sense, that is to say, not the man of large income and large expenditure, but solely the man whose outlay is less than his income and is steadily kept so.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “The imagination of man is naturally sublime, delighted with whatever is remote and extraordinary, and running, without control, into the most distant parts of space and time in order to avoid the objects, which custom has rendered too familiar to it.”
    —David Hume (1711–1776)

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