On resultant-preserving functionals (Q1337841)

Let \(X\) be a Banach space, \(B(X')\) the closed unit ball of \(X'\) and \(w^*\) the \(\text{weak}^*\) topology on \(B(X')\). Let \(\Sigma\) be the Borel sets of \((B(X'), w^*)\). If \(\mu\) is a Radon measure on \((B(X'), w^*)\) define \(m: \Sigma\to X'\) by \(\langle m(E), x\rangle= \int_ E x(x') d\mu\), \(x\in X\), \(E\in \Sigma\). An element \(z\in X''\) is \(\mu\)- resultant preserving if and only if \(z\) is \(\mu\)-measurable and \(\langle z, m(E)\rangle= \int_ E z(x') d\mu\) for every \(E\in \Sigma\). If this condition is satisfied for every Radon measure \(\mu\), then \(z\) is said to be resultant preserving. The author gives several necessary and sufficient conditions for an element \(z\in X''\) to be resultant preserving.
