Stieltjes integral of proportion function












1












$begingroup$


Given a finite set of real numbers $x_1leq x_2leq ... leq x_n$, define the function:



$F(x):= frac{1}{n} underset{k=1}{overset{n}{sum}} chi_{(-infty, x_k]}(x)$



Considering it's induced Stieltjes measure $mu_F$, I would like to verify (or eliminate) a few properties:



(1) Is $mu_Fbig( (-infty,x_1) big)=0$ and $mu_Fbig( (x_n,infty) big)=0$?



(2) Is $mu_F$ supported on ${ x_k }_{k=1}^n$, i.e
$mu_F(mathbb{R})= underset{k=1}{overset{n}{sum}} mu_F({ x_k })$ ?



(3) Is $mu_F big( [x_k,x_{k+1}] big)= frac{1}{n} $ for all $kin [n-1]$?



(4) Is $int_{-infty}^tf(x)dF(x)= frac{1}{n} underset{k=1}{overset{n}{sum}} chi_{(-infty, x_k]}(x)cdot f(x_k)$?



I am trying to understand integration against this Stieljes measure and I am pretty weak on the subject of Stieltjes integral, so I would appreciate pointers on how to relate to this.

          You have $mathcal{B}(mathbb{R})= sigma({[c,d):c,dinmathbb{R}, c<d})$. You should make yourself clear, that it holds:



          begin{align}
          mu_F([c,d))&=F(d-)-F(c-)\
          mu_F((c,d])&=F(d+)-F(c+)\
          mu_F((c,d))&=F(d-)-F(c+)\
          mu_F([c,d])&=F(d+)-F(c-)
          end{align}



          (1) is true. You should try to solve this on your own.



          (2) is also true, actually it holds



          $$mu_F=-frac{1}{n}sum_{i=1}^ndelta_{x_k}$$



          (3) Is not true, since



          $$mu_F([x_k,x_{k+1}])=F(x_{k+1}+)-F(x_k-)=frac{1}{n}big[(n-(k+1))-(n-(k-1))]=-frac{2}{n}$$



          (4) Does not make sense. $x$ has to be integrated, so the right hand side should not depend on $x$. Just try to solve the integral, since you know the measure from (2). Note, that



          $$int_{(-infty, t]}f(x)dF(x)$$
          and
          $$int_{(-infty, t)}f(x)dF(x)$$
          can have different values. (What happens, if $t=x_k$ for some $kin{1,ldots, n}$?)
