\(\sigma \)-finite Borel measures on the real line (Q1978852)

The following theorem is the main result of the paper: Let \(f\) be \(\text{ACG}_*\) on an interval \([a,b]\). Then the total variation measure \(\mu =\mu _f \) associated with \(f\) has the following properties: 1. \(\mu \) is a \(\sigma \)-finite Borel measure on \([a,b]\). 2. \(\mu \) is absolutely continuous with respect to the Lebesgue measure. 3. There is a sequence of closed sets \(F_n\) whose union is all of \([a,b]\) such that \(\mu (F_n)<\infty \) for each \(n\). 4. \(|f' |\) is the Radon-Nikodým derivative of \(\mu \) with respect to the Lebesgue measure. Conversely, if a measure \(\mu \) satisfies conditions (1)--(3) then there exists an \(\text{ACG}_*\) function \(f\) for which (4) is valid.
