Intensity (measure theory)

In the mathematical discipline of measure theory, the intensity of a measure is the average value the measure assigns to an interval of length one.

be a measure on the real numbers.

is defined as if the limit exists and is independent of

, it is so Therefore the Lebesgue measure has intensity one.

for which the intensity is well defined is a measurable subset of the set of all measures on

The mapping defined by is measurable.
