Convergence of Measures - Strong Convergence of Measures

Strong Convergence of Measures

For a measurable space, a sequence is said to converge strongly to a limit if

for every set .

For example, as a consequence of the Riemann–Lebesgue lemma, the sequence of measures on the interval given by converges strongly to Lebesgue measure, but it does not converge in total variation.

Famous quotes containing the words strong and/or measures:

    Have We not made the earth as a cradle and the mountains as pegs? And We created you in pairs, and We appointed your sleep for a rest; and We appointed night for a garment, and We appointed day for a livelihood. And We have built above you seven strong ones, and We appointed a blazing lamp and have sent down out of the rain-clouds water cascading that We may bring forth thereby grain and plants, and gardens luxuriant.
    —Qur’An. “The Tiding,” 78:6-16, trans. by Arthur J. Arberry (1955)

    I hear America singing, the varied carols I hear,
    Those of mechanics, each one singing his as it should be blithe and
    strong,
    The carpenter singing his as he measures his plank or beam,
    The mason singing his as he makes ready for work, or leaves off
    work,
    Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
