Abstract

In this chapter, we shall study the (complex) Banach lattice M(K) consisting of all complex-valued, regular Borel measures on a locally compact space K and, in particular, the positive measures in M(K), which form the cone M(K)+. The Banach space M(K) is isometrically isomorphic to the dual of C  0(K). In \(\S\)4.2, we shall discuss the linear spaces of discrete measures and of continuous measures on K.
