Total variation of a measure in a topological dual of the space of continuous functions












0












$begingroup$


I read the definition of total variation of a measure in the following link



https://www.encyclopediaofmath.org/index.php/Signed_measure



And then I have a question:



If $mu$ is a vector measure in $C^*([0,T];mathbb{R}^{m})$ which is a topological dual of the space of continuous functions. Let $mu(t)=mu^i$ for $tin[t^i,t^{i+1})$, $i=0,ldots,n-1$, where $t^0=0$, $t^n=T$. Each partition $[t^i,t^{i+1}]$ has a length of $h_n$ which tends to zero as $ntoinfty$.



Then we have the total variation of $mu$
$$|mu|([0,T])=supleft{ sum_{i=0}^{infty}|mu([t^i,t^{i+1}])|: {[t^i,t^{i+1}]} textrm{ is a countable partition of } [0,T] right}.$$



Can we obtain the following?



begin{equation}label{1}
|mu|([0,T])=supleft{ sum_{i=0}^{infty}|mu^i|right}.
end{equation}

So the uniform boundedness of $mu$ implies $sum_{i=0}^{infty}|mu^i|$ is uniformly bounded with respect to (w.r.t.) $n$? Is that correct?



Thank you so much for your time and help.

    No. I neither understand the definition of $mu$ nor is it clear what you take the supremum over.

    We have a countable partition ${[t^i,t^{i+1}]}$ of $[0,T]$. Then we define $mu(t)=mu^i$ on each interval $[t^i,t^{i+1}]$. And we take the supremum over all the partitions of $[0,T]$.
