Exercise · ZW-HAHN-JORDAN-DECOMPOSITION-002 · ★☆☆ Basic
State the property of the sets \(P\) and \(P^c\) in the Hahn decomposition.
Choose one option.
Show answer
- A. \(\nu\) is nonnegative on \(P\) and nonpositive on \(P^c\)
Explanation
A Hahn set requires a definite sign on each part, not that the measure vanishes. Mixing up the signs or requiring zero is the usual mistake.
Review the concept: Hahn–Jordan decomposition
The Hahn–Jordan decomposition splits a signed measure \(\nu\) into the difference of two mutually singular positive measures, \(\nu = \nu^+ - \nu^-\).
\[\nu = \nu^+ - \nu^-,\quad \nu^+ \perp \nu^-\]
