Capacities with values in compact Hausdorff lattices (Q2643606)

For a compact Hausdorff topological lattice \(L\) and a compact Hausdorff space \(X\), \(M_LX\) denotes the set of \(L\)-valued normed regular capacities on \(X\). It is shown that \(M_LX\) carries a compact Hausdorff topology, and \(M_L\) extends to a weakly \(\tau\)-normal functor in the category of compacta. If \(L\) is a Lawson lattice, then \(M_L\) is the functorial part of a monad. The results have a natural interpretation if capacities are regarded as subjective estimates of likelihood of realization of events in conditions of uncertainty.
