For compact , let
By the Tonelli theorem and part (ii),
Every point in the SLE range has conformal radius tending to zero and therefore belongs to every . Hence the range inside has zero expected Lebesgue measure, and so has zero measure almost surely. Exhausting by countably many compact sets proves
Write , the absolute Jacobian determinant. Under the usual meaning of a map on domains, the injective area formula gives, for any nonnegative measurable ,
This version of the change of variables formula does not require to be nonsingular everywhere. A map is a locally Lipschitz function, and the formula applies by exhaustion if the domains are unbounded. For non-open , one needs the corresponding extension or regularity interpretation of the stated assumption.
First suppose almost everywhere with respect to Lebesgue measure. For each bounded nonnegative measurable ,
Taking indicator functions proves .
Conversely, the area formula shows that the measure with probability density function has total mass one and satisfies . The assumed equality then implies , since the measurable bijection has a measurable inverse on these domains. Equivalently, apply both pushforward measure identities to for each Borel set . Uniqueness of the Radon-Nikodym derivative yields
A standard sufficient form of Brenier theorem assumes have finite second moments and , that is, absolute continuity of measures with respect to Lebesgue measure. For the cost , there exists a unique optimal transport plan, and it is induced by a transport map:
Here is a proper convex function, which may be chosen sequentially lower semicontinuous, and its gradient exists -almost everywhere. The map is unique -almost everywhere and is the unique minimizer of the Monge optimal transport problem; its cost equals the Kantorovich optimal transport problem minimum. Equivalently, it is the unique gradient of a convex function transporting to .
The uniqueness claim concerns the map and the transport plan, not a globally unique potential. The potential may be shifted by a constant, and additional nonuniqueness away from the source can occur. No density assumption is required on . A primary reference is Brenier's Polar factorization and monotone rearrangement of vector-valued functions.
Let be the probability density function of the unknown and that of the noise, both relative to Lebesgue measure. By independence of random variables, the conditional distribution of the measurement given has density . Thus its likelihood function and the joint density are
The Bayesian model evidence is the marginal data density
Bayes' theorem gives the posterior density solving this Bayesian inverse problem:
This formula applies when . Since by Tonelli theorem, these conditions hold almost everywhere under the marginal data law. Values of a conditional distribution at exceptional data are not determined by the joint law. The posterior mean or a maximum a posteriori estimate can then give a point estimate, while the full posterior density describes the remaining uncertainty.
Use the Hellinger distance convention in the original PDF:
The TeX transcription incorrectly places the integral outside the outer square root in the definition; the displayed formula for the squared distance and the original PDF both use the convention above. Although Lebesgue measure is not a probability measure, we may use it as the common dominating measure: the integral is unchanged by replacing it with any equivalent dominating probability measure.
For unit-variance normal distributions, put and . The product of the square roots of their probability density functions is
The final factor integrates to one, so
For the bound at arbitrary , use the given formula for the Hellinger distance between normal distributions and write
Since for ,
Therefore one valid choice is . In particular this bound is uniform when the two standard deviations stay bounded away from zero.
The conditional mean estimator is the posterior mean
provided the first moment is finite. A maximum a posteriori estimate is any maximizer of the posterior density relative to Lebesgue measure:
Existence of the posterior density alone does not guarantee a finite posterior mean or existence of a maximizing point.
For the stated multivariate normal distribution and independent standard Gaussian noise, the negative log of the posterior density, up to a constant, is
Its precision matrix is a positive-definite matrix, so Gaussian conjugacy for a normal linear model gives
The two forms agree because
The covariance matrix is , and the maximum a posteriori estimate equals the posterior mean for this multivariate normal distribution.
For every Borel set , let
be its random point count. A Non-homogeneous Poisson point process with intensity function of a point process is characterized by:
Because has a density with respect to Lebesgue measure, it is atomless, so the process is simple: almost surely no location occurs more than once.
Here is planar Lebesgue measure. For a Borel set , polar coordinates give
The pushforward is therefore locally finite and atomless. By the mapping theorem for Poisson point processes, is a homogeneous Poisson process on with constant intensity . This is the two-dimensional radial volume transform of a homogeneous Poisson point process.
Put . The variable is the th arrival time of that rate- Poisson process, hence has the gamma distribution with shape and rate :
Since and , the change-of-variables formula for a probability density gives the Kth-nearest-neighbour distance in a homogeneous Poisson point process
For every positive integer , additivity gives . Hence
Conversely, if , write . Then
so . Thus
To prove continuity, fix and put
These sets are measurable and , so at least one has positive Lebesgue measure. Part (ii) gives , and therefore also has positive measure. By the Steinhaus theorem, contains an open neighbourhood of zero. Part (i) gives
This proves continuity at zero. Finally,
as , so is continuous at every . Thus every such map is an instance of the theorem that a measurable additive function is continuous.
For a Borel set , the two inverse branches of the tent map are and . Apart from their immaterial common endpoint,
Each branch scales Lebesgue measure by , and their images lie in opposite half-intervals. Hence
Also , so is an invariant probability measure.
For , the trace meets the real boundary only at its starting point, so the intersection has zero Lebesgue measure. Suppose . A boundary point swallowed by an interval need not itself lie on the trace. The stated fact that for , combined with the Strong Markov property and Scaling invariance of SLE at successively nested swallowed intervals, implies that a fixed deterministic is swallowed in an interval rather than hit by the trace with probability one. Equivalently,
Applying the Tonelli theorem to the random indicator of the boundary trace gives
The nonnegative random measure is therefore zero almost surely.
The noise has the product Laplace distribution density
which is normalized because . By translation invariance of Lebesgue measure, the conditional law of has density
Hence an associated likelihood function is
The map is measurable because is measurable and vector subtraction is continuous. Composition with the continuous norm and exponential functions proves that is jointly measurable.
Every Lebesgue measurable set differs from a Borel set by a Lebesgue-null set . The given function is a homeomorphism from onto the interval . Hence is Borel relative to and therefore Lebesgue measurable in . Moreover,
and is null by Lusin condition N. The completeness of Lebesgue measure now shows that is measurable, so
is defined for every .
Because is injective, it maps pairwise disjoint sets to pairwise disjoint sets and commutes with arbitrary unions. The countable additivity of therefore gives
Thus is the image-length measure of a strictly increasing continuous function. If , the null-set hypothesis gives , so
The measure is sigma-finite, since
The Radon-Nikodym theorem consequently supplies a nonnegative locally integrable function such that
For , strict increase and continuity give
and hence
The analogous oriented identity holds for . By differentiation of an indefinite Lebesgue integral,
Yes, the differentiability conclusion still holds when is merely non-decreasing. In fact, the Lebesgue theorem on differentiability of monotone functions says that every monotone function is differentiable almost everywhere; neither continuity nor the null-set hypothesis is needed for that conclusion. Flat intervals mean that the preceding image-set argument no longer gives disjoint images, so its natural replacement is the Lebesgue-Stieltjes measure determined by
The Sobolev fundamental theorem of calculus on lines gives, for almost every ,
Apply the Minkowski integral inequality and translation invariance of Lebesgue measure:
The restriction on ensures that every translated copy used above lies in .
Let be the first exit from . On that compact interval the drift is bounded. The Girsanov theorem therefore gives, through every fixed time , a probability measure equivalent to the original one under which the stopped process has Brownian increments before .
If has Lebesgue measure zero, the normal distribution of Brownian motion gives
Since , countable subadditivity gives . Thus the killed law at time is absolutely continuous with respect to Lebesgue measure on .
For a measurable set , define
where is its indicator function. This is finite because has finite measure and hence . If the sets are pairwise disjoint and , then
The continuity of the positive linear functional therefore gives
so is a measure by countable additivity. Moreover, a set of zero Lebesgue measure has zero indicator in , so is absolutely continuous with respect to Lebesgue measure.
The Radon-Nikodym theorem now supplies a measurable function such that
Consequently, first for nonnegative simple functions and then, by approximation by nonnegative simple functions, for every nonnegative ,
Applying the stated characterization of the Lp norm to shows that and . The Holder inequality makes continuous on , while bounded simple functions form a dense subset; hence
This is the positive functional representation on Lp.
Let with irrational . This irrational rotation of the circle preserves Lebesgue measure and is ergodic. Apply the Birkhoff ergodic theorem to the indicator function . Its limit
is invariant, hence almost everywhere constant by ergodicity. Its integral must equal that of , so the constant is . Therefore
for Lebesgue measure-almost every .
Write the interval as , where , to avoid confusing its left endpoint with the rotation parameter . For every sufficiently large integer , define an inner and outer interval on the circle by
Apply part (b) simultaneously to this countable collection of intervals. The intersection of the corresponding full-measure sets still has full Lebesgue measure, and is therefore dense in the circle.
Fix an arbitrary . For each sufficiently large , choose with circle distance less than from . An irrational circle rotation preserves this distance, so for every ,
Averaging and using part (b) for gives
Letting proves the everywhere interval frequency under an irrational rotation:
Condition on the observed value . If a classifier reports class zero, its conditional probability of error is ; if it reports class one, the conditional error is . Therefore the smaller conditional error is attained by class one exactly when
and by class zero exactly when the reverse strict inequality holds. Integrating these pointwise conditional errors proves that is a Bayes classifier.
The only possible nonuniqueness lies on the tie set
Because the two Gaussian class distributions are distinct, is not identically zero. It is a nonzero polynomial of degree at most two, so its zero set has Lebesgue measure zero. Both Gaussian laws have densities with respect to Lebesgue measure, hence assign probability zero to . Every Bayes rule must therefore agree with almost surely. This proves the uniqueness of a Bayes classifier up to the standard null-set equivalence of decision rules.
Construct a bipartite graph with left vertices , right vertices , and an edge exactly when . For , every point of lies in some adjacent to one of those . Thus
Using finite additivity of Lebesgue measure and the equal-volume hypotheses,
Hence for every . The Hall marriage theorem supplies a perfect matching, which has the form for a permutation of . Every matched edge means precisely that .
