Contrarily to charges, maxitive measures often have a density. We show that maxitive measures can be decomposed as the supremum of a maxitive measure with density, and a residual maxitive measure that is null on compact sets under specific conditions.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2009-12-28T15:03:31.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "28B15", "28C15", "06B35", "03E72", "49J52" ], "keywords": [ "decomposition theorem", "specific conditions", "compact sets", "residual maxitive measure", "usual addition" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 11, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2009arXiv0912.5178P" } } }
