Finitely additive measures and applications
Abstract
The talk gives some survey about recent applications of finitely additive measures to Lebesgue integrable functions. After a short introduction to such measures and related integrals, purely finitely additive measures are of particular interest. Special examples are given and, as a first application, an integral representation for the precise representative of Lebesgue integrable functions is provided. Then, based on a general approach to traces, a new version of the Gauss-Green formula is introduced, where neither a pointwise trace nor a pointwise normal is needed on the boundary. This allows e.g. the treatment of inner boundaries and of concentrations on the boundary. A second boundary integral is used to handle singularities that hadnot been accessible before. Finally, weak versions of differentiability for Lebesgue integrable functions are discussed, a mean value formula for a class of Sobolev functions is given, and a new approach to the generalized derivatives in the sense of Clarke is provided.
It's twenty years since a bunch of kids from Sheffield sang about being kids in Sheffield in the accents and vocabulary of a bunch kids from Sheffield. Mardy Bum (meaning 'grumpy' to us northerners) is about adolescent relationship problems. The song is simple, but combined with the lyrics it just works.
'You've got the face on'.
