A Radon-Nikodym theorem for monotone measures

Abstract

A version of Radon-Nikodym theorem for the Choquet integral w.r.t. monotone measures is proved. Without any presumptive condition, we obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for the ordered pair $(\mu, \nu)$ of finite monotone measures to have the so-called Radon-Nikodym property related to a nonnegative measurable function $f$. If $\nu$ is null-continuous and weakly null-additive, then $f$ is uniquely determined almost everywhere by $\nu$ and thus is called the Radon-Nikodym derivative of $\mu$ w.r.t. $\nu$. For $\sigma$-finite monotone measures, a Radon-Nikodym type theorem is also obtained under the assumption that the monotone measures are lower continuous and null-additive.
