Representation of states on effect-tribes and effect algebras by integrals (Q410678): Difference between revisions

The main result is that any state on an effect algebra can be represented as an integral through a regular Borel probability measure. This generalizes the results obtained for Łukasiewicz tribes in [\textit{D. Butnariu} and \textit{E. P. Klement}, Triangular Norm Based Measures and Games with Fuzzy Coalitions.Theory and Decision Library. Series C: Game Theory, Mathematical Programming and Operations Research. 10. Dordrecht: Kluwer Academic Publishers. (1993; Zbl 0804.90145)] and for interval effect algebras in [\textit{A. Dvurečenskij}, Every state on interval effect algebra is integral, J. Math. Phys. 51, 083508-12 (2010)]. Further, the convex structure of the state space is studied. It is shown that every \(\sigma\)-convex combination of extremal states on a monotone \(\sigma\)-complete effect algebra is a Jauch--Piron state.
