Mathematics: Integration Theory
Course · 7.5 credits
Description
The course is an alternatively compulsory course within the Master's programme in mathematics. The course gives a presentation of modern integration theory based on the general theory of measures. The students will acquire a powerful and general machinery applicable to important problems in analysis as well as in other areas of mathematics, especially probability theory.
This course treats the general notion of a measure defined on a sigma-algebra, construction of measures with help of outer measures, in particular the Lebesgue measure in Rd. These concepts are then used to define the integral of a measurable function with respect to a given measure and study its properties. The focus is on convergence theorems, that is, interchanging limits and integrals, as well as multiple integrals which appear as integrals against measures on product spaces.
