A Radon-Nikodym theorem for monotone measures

Abstract

A version of Radon-Nikodym theorem for the Choquet integral w.r.t. monotone measures is proved. Without any presumptive condition, we obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for the ordered pair $(\mu ,\nu )$ of finite monotone measures to have the so-called Radon-Nikodym property related to a nonnegative measurable function f. If ν is null-continuous and weakly null-additive, then f is uniquely determined almost everywhere by ν and thus is called the Radon-Nikodym derivative of μ w.r.t. ν. For σ-finite monotone measures, a Radon-Nikodym type theorem is also obtained under the assumption that the monotone measures are lower continuous and null-additive.
