Densities of a finite measure with respect to any measure are integrable and unique up to a null set; and a finite measure that vanishes on the null sets of a sigma-finite measure has a density with respect to it (Radon-Nikodym).

Statement

In the setting of Measure Spaces and the Lebesgue Integral: Standing Notation, let (X,F,μ)(X,\mathcal{F},\mu) be a measure space and let ν\nu be a finite measure on (X,F)(X,\mathcal{F}). For a measurable h:XRh:X\to\mathbb{R} with 0h(x)0\le h(x) for every xXx\in X, the measure with density hh with respect to μ\mu is that of claim 3 of that lemma, and hh is called a density of ν\nu with respect to μ\mu if that measure is ν\nu, that is, if

ν(A)=X1Ahdμfor every AF.\nu(A)=\int_{X}\mathbf{1}_{A}\,h\,d\mu\qquad\text{for every }A\in\mathcal{F}.

1. (Uniqueness) Let h1h_{1} and h2h_{2} be densities of ν\nu with respect to μ\mu. Then h1h_{1} and h2h_{2} are integrable with Xh1dμ=Xh2dμ=ν(X)\int_{X}h_{1}\,d\mu=\int_{X}h_{2}\,d\mu=\nu(X), and the set {xX:h1(x)h2(x)}\{x\in X:h_{1}(x)\ne h_{2}(x)\} belongs to F\mathcal{F} and has μ\mu-measure 00.

2. (Existence) Suppose that μ\mu is σ\sigma-finite and that ν(A)=0\nu(A)=0 for every AFA\in\mathcal{F} with μ(A)=0\mu(A)=0. Then ν\nu has a density with respect to μ\mu.
