The Riesz-Markov-Kakutani representation theorem is a fundamental result in measure theory and functional analysis, particularly in the context of representing positive linear functionals on spaces of continuous functions. It provides a powerful method to characterize and represent certain types of measures through continuous functions.

Every positive linear functional on for a compact Hausdorff space has a unique representationby a finite regular positive Borel measure . More generally, is isometrically the space of finite regular complex Borel measures with the total-variation norm.
