Exercise · ZW-HAHN-JORDAN-DECOMPOSITION-007 · ★★☆ Intermediate

With \(\nu(E)=\int_E x\,dm\) on \([-1,2]\), compute \(\nu^-([-1,2])\).

Choose one option.

Show answer
  • D. \(\tfrac{1}{2}\)

Explanation

The negative part lives on \([-1,0]\), and \(-\int_{-1}^0 x\,dx=\tfrac{1}{2}\). Using the positive part or the total gives different values.

Review the concept: Hahn–Jordan decomposition

The Hahn–Jordan decomposition splits a signed measure \(\nu\) into the difference of two mutually singular positive measures, \(\nu = \nu^+ - \nu^-\).

\[\nu = \nu^+ - \nu^-,\quad \nu^+ \perp \nu^-\]
