Preface
In recent years, technological progress created a great need for complex mathematical models. Many practical problems can be formulated using optimization theory and they hope to obtain an optimal solution. In most cases, such optimal solution can not be found. So, non-convex optimization problems (arising, e.g., in variational calculus, optimal control, nonlinear evolutions equations) may not possess a classical minimizer because the minimizing sequences have typically rapid oscillations. This behavior requires a relaxation of notion of solution for such problems; often we can obtain a such relaxation by means of Young measures. The Young measures generalize measurable functions. Thus, a Young measure is herself a measurable application that, to every point t of , associates a probability t on a topological space X; for all Borel set A X, t .A/ may be interpreted as the probability that the value in t of the “function” : belongs to A. In the particular case, a measurable application u W ! X is a Young measure, where, for all t 2 , t D ıu.t / (ıu.t / indicates the mass of Dirac in u.t /). Young measures’ theory has a long history; it begins with the work of L. C. Young which, in 1937, introduces the so-called “generalized curves” in order to provide extended solutions for some non-convex problems in variational calculus. A milestone in this history is the appearance of the monograph of J. Warga, “Optimal Control of Differential and Functional Equations” (Academic Press, 1972); here is systematically developed a theory of relaxed control in compact metric spaces. The extension of theory on locally compact metric spaces was made by H. Berliocchi and J. M. Lasry in 1973. The study of Young measures was extended to Polish and Suslin spaces by the works of E. J. Balder (since 1984) and M. Valadier (1990). Lately, Young measures were the object of an intense research due to their applications in obtaining relaxed solutions; here are some of the areas in which these relaxed solutions find applications: non-convex variational problems and differential inclusions, non-linear homogenization problems, micro-magnetic phenomena in ferro-magnetic materials, Nash equilibrium in games theory, Gammaconvergence, different phenomena in continuum mechanics (as elasticity, microstructures’ theory), optimal design and shape optimization problems.

Preface
On this subject, recent monographs appeared: .i/ Roubi˘cek, T.—Relaxation in optimization theory and variational calculus, Walter de Gruyter, Berlin. New York, 1997. .ii/ Pedregal, P.—Parametrized Measures and Variational Principles, Birkhäuser Verlag, Basel. Boston. Berlin, 1997. .iii/ Castaing, Ch., Raynaud de Fitte, P. and Valadier, M.—Young measures on topological spaces. With applications in control theory and probability theory, Kluwer Academic Publ. Dordrecht. Boston. London, 2004. The focus of the first two books is mainly on the applications; therefore, Young measures are used as generalized solutions to non-convex problems of variational calculus, optimization theory, or game theory. The last monograph considers theoretical aspects of the theory of Young measures as well as the applications in control theory and probability theory. Many of the results presented here make reference to a wide bibliography; thus, the work is difficult to use for beginners. The literature on the applications of Young measures in various areas (lower semicontinuity, optimal relaxed control, Gamma-convergence and homogenization, differential games, elasticity, hysteresis, etc.) is extremely rich and the existing monographs main focus on applications rather than on theoretical aspects. We found difficult for a young researcher who wants to clarify the theoretical aspects, to go through the extensive bibliography which is usually referred. Thus, our goal was to write a book where to be gathered all the theoretical aspects related to defining of Young measures (measurability, disintegration, stable convergence, compactness), book which to be a useful tool for those interested in theoretical foundations of the theory: the postgraduate students, the students in the doctoral study, but also to all those interested in measure theory and relaxed control. The developing of Young measures’ theory involves some compactness results for measures on abstract spaces and topological spaces. Hence, to achieve our goal, we considered useful to provide a complete set of classical and recent compactness results in measure and function spaces. The book is organized in three chapters (Weak compactness in measure spaces, Bounded measures on topological spaces, Young measures). For a good comprehension of the subject, we developed in the first two chapters the results used in the third (biting lemma in the abstract measure theory and Prohorov’s theorem in the measure theory on topological spaces). The first chapter covers background material on measure theory in abstract frame. Therefore, we present some results of duality and weakly compactness in ca.A/ and L1 ./. However, here we prove some extensions of Dunford–Pettis

theorem like biting lemma of Brooks–Chacon or subsequence splitting lemma of H. P. Rosenthal. In Chapter two, we treat the measure theory on topological spaces. The framework is offered by Suslin spaces; on the one hand, these spaces are Radon and on the other hand, they cover the particular case of a separable Banach space provided with his weak topology. We introduce the narrow topology and then we prove the Prohorov’s compactness theorem. In the particular case of Polish spaces, the narrow topology is metrizable; we present the compatible metrics of Dudley and of Lévy–Prohorov. As an application of Prohorov’s theorem, we prove in the last paragraph the existence of Wiener’s measure on C Œ0; 1. With some exceptions, in Chapters 1 and 2 are presented classical compactness results for measures on abstract spaces, or on topological spaces. The originality consists in the selection and ordering of these results and the accompanying remarks and examples. However, we note some approaches and new results, such as: the modulus of -continuity (1.79) and theorems 1.80 and 1.81, a-convergence of nets in L1 and the extension of Dunford–Pettis theorem (1.93), a new proof for Rosenthal’s Subsequence Splitting Lemma using Biting Lemma, the modulus of narrow compactness (2.65), a-convergence of nets in ca.B.T //, theorem 2.69 and obtaining, as corollary of this theorem, a new proof of Prohorov’s compactness theorem. Finally, in the last section of 2 we give a simple and self-contained presentation of Wiener measure (2.6). Compactness results from the first two chapters are used to study Young measures in Chapter three. We prove the disintegration theorem for product measures and we use it to present Young measures as parametrized measures; the frame is that of a regular Suslin space. We remark that the space of Young measures contains the space of measurable mappings as dense subspace and that the narrow topology is an extension of the topology of convergence in measure. Prohorov’s theorem in the case of Young measures highlights the role played by tightness in compactness results. We present a vector version for biting lemma and an extension of this result to some special non-bounded sets of measurable mappings: finite-tight sets. In the seventh paragraph, we will study the two types of products for the Young measures and will give the fiber product lemma. In the last three sections of the book are presented some applications; thus, Prokhorov’s theorem for Young measures was used in the ninth paragraph in the study of strong compactness in Lp .; E/. We obtain, as corollaries, the theorems of Visintin–Balder, Rossi–Savaré, Lions–Aubin and Gutman; in the scalar case, the compactness criterion of Riesz–Fréchet–Kolmogorov is obtained. In the tenth paragraph, we consider some applications of quasiconvexity to the study of gradient Young measures and to the lower semicontinuity. Are studied the Young measures generated by sequences and particularly the gradient Young

measures. We pay special attention to quasiconvexity and its various equivalent definitions. The quasiconvexity is essentially used in the Kinderlehrer–Pedregal’s characterization of gradient Young measures, but also in the study of lower semicontinuity of energy functional that appears in variational calculus. Finally, in paragraph eleven, we present some results of existence of solutions in relaxed variational calculus. There are also, in this chapter, some new concepts and results among which: new proofs for theorems 3.30, 3.32 and 3.33, the density result 3.49 and the proof of theorem 3.50, theorems 3.51, 3.66, 3.67 and propositions 3.54 and 3.56, introduction of finite-tight sets (3.75) and use them to obtain extensions of biting lemma (3.84) and Saadoune–Valadier’s theorem (3.85), Jordan finite-tight sets (3.91) and their utility in obtain of a compactness result in Sobolev spaces (3.102) and an alternative to Rellich–Kondrachov theorem (3.105). All results are accompanied by full demonstrations; for many of these results, are given different proofs from those referred in the literature. The bibliography gives the main references relevant to the content of the book; it is no exhaustive. Understanding the text requires basic knowledge of general topology, functional analysis and Lebesgue integration that may be found in any textbook on the subject. In rest, all the statements are fully justified and proved. To conclude, this text is intended as a postgraduate textbook as well as a reference for more experienced researchers. The book was written over several years of collaboration between authors, with the occasion of stages that the first author has made, as a visiting professor, at the University of Brest. An important role in setting the ideas and in the organization of book’s material was played by discussions with various mathematicians met under these occasions. First, we mention the authors of monograph “Young measures on topological spaces”, C. Castaing, M. Valadier and P. Raynaud de Fitte, that supported and inspired us in writing the last chapter. Also, we have had useful discussions with E. Balder and T. Roubi˘cek at the international conference “Mesures de Young et Contrôle Stochastique” (Brest, 2002); in this way, we thank them all.

Chapter 1
Weak Compactness in Measure Spaces
We will present in this first chapter the main properties of the measure spaces and of the space of integrable functions. We recall the classic results of weak compactness (like Vitali–Hahn–Saks, Radon–Nikodym and Dunford–Pettis theorems) but we will also mention more recent results such as Brooks–Chacon biting lemma or Rosenthal’s lemma.
1.1
Measure Spaces
In this introductory section, we recall the definitions and classic properties of the additive and -additive measures. We finish this section by the Saks’ theorem, the Vitali–Hahn–Saks and Nikodym theorems that we will use in the following sections for a study of weak compactness on ca.A/. For beginning, we will specify the definitions and the notations to be employed henceforward. We consider as known the theory of integration relating to a positive, -additive and -finite measure. We designate by X an arbitrary set and by A a –algebra of subsets of X; an A-partition of A 2 A is a partition of A with the elements in A. According to the usual notations, if is a positive, -additive and -finite measure, we shall denote by L1 ./ D L1 .X; A; / the set of all real mappings f defined on X with the property that f is A-measurable and -integrable and by L1 ./ D L1 .X; A; / the quotient space L1 ./=DP , where D P is equality – almost everywhere. In the following, we recall the definition of the signed measures. N D Œ1; C1 is a finitely additive Definition 1.1. A set function W A ! R measure, or shortly an additive measure, if .i/ .;/ D 0; .ii/ .A [ B/ D .A/ C .B/; for every A; B 2 A with A \ B D ;; .iii/ assumes at most one of the values C 1 and 1: An additive measure on A is a -additive measure or a countably additive measure if, for every sequence of pairwise disjoint sets .An /n2N A (i.e.

A -additive measure is finite or real valued if its range is contained in R. is -finite if, for every A 2 A, there exists a sequence .An /n2N such that S A D n2N An and .An / 2 R, for every n 2 N. We will designate by ba.A/—the set of all real valued bounded additive measures on A, ca.A/—the set of all real valued -additive measures on A. ba.A/ and ca.A/ are vector spaces under the usual addition and scalar multiplication operations. caC .A/ (baC .A/)—the subsets of all positive measures of ca.A/ (ba.A/). The following properties are easy to demonstrate. N be an additive measure and let A; B 2 A with Proposition 1.2. Let W A !

(i) If .B/ D C1.1/, then .A/ D C1.1/, what contradicts hypothesis. Therefore, .B/ is finite. (ii) If j.B/j < C1, then .A/ .B/ D .A n B/. Proposition 1.3. Let be a -additive measure and let .An /n2N A. .i/ If .An /n is an increasing sequence, then .[1 nD0 An / D limn!1 .An /. .ii/ If .An /n is a decreasing sequence and j.A0 /j < C1, then .\1 nD0 An / D limn!1 .An /. S Proof. (i) Let A D n2N An 2 A. Firstly, we suppose that there is n0 2 N such that j.An0 /j D C1. According to (i) of Proposition 1.2, j.A/j D C1 D j.An /j, for every n n0 ; since assumes at most one of the values C1 and 1, .A/ D limn .An /. If, for every n 2 N; j.An /j < C1, then we define the pairwise disjoint sequence .Bn /n A letting: B0 D A0 ; Bn D An n An1 ; 8n 1; then A D

(ii) If .An /n2N is decreasing and j.A0 /j < C1, then the sequence .Bn /n , where Bn D A0 n An , is increasing and the result follows from the first part of the proof. N be a -additive measure and let A 2 A; Definition 1.4. Let W A ! R A is called -positive if, for every B 2 A; .A \ B/ 0. A is called -negative if, for every B 2 A; .A \ B/ 0. A is called -null if it is -positive and -negative. A is -null set if and only if, for every measurable set B A, .B/ D 0. For the following two results, see Theorem A, p. 121 in [93]. Proposition 1.5. Let W A ! .1; C1 be a -additive measure and let A 2 A with .A/ < 0. There exists a -negative set B A such that .B/ < 0. Proof. If A is -negative, then B D A. Otherwise, there exists C 2 A such that .C \ A/ > 0. Let n1 be the smallest positive integer for which there exists A1 2 A; A1 A with .A1 / > n11 . If A n A1 is -negative, then B D A n A1 ; since .A/ < 0; .A/ 2 R and then, by Theorem 1.2, .A1 / 2 R and .B/ D .A/ .A1 / < .A/ < 0. If A n A1 is not -negative, let n2 be the smallest positive integer for which there exists A2 2 A; A2 A n A1 with .A2 / > n12 ; obviously, n2 > n1 . If the above construct does not produce a solution of problem after a finite number of steps, then we obtain a sequence of pairwise disjoint sets .Ak /k1 1 k 1 and nk " C1. A; Ak A n [k1 iS D1 Ai , with .Ak / > nk , for every P1 1 Let B D A n kD1 Ak ; then .B/ D .A/ kD1 .Ak / < 0.

Then .C / 0 and therefore B is -negative. N be a -additive Theorem 1.6 (Hahn decomposition theorem). Let W A ! R c measure; there exists a -positive set H 2 A such that H D X nH is -negative. For any other pair ¹H1 ; H1c º A with H1 -positive and H1c -negative, HH1 is a -null set. Proof. First, let us suppose that .A/ .1; C1. Let a D inf¹.A/ W A 2 A; A D -negative º, let .A /n be a sequence of Sn1 -negative sets such that .An / ! a and let H D X n nD1 An ; then H c D S 1 nD1 An .

The previous proposition assures us on the existence of a -negative set B C with .B/ < 0. Then H c [ B is -negative and .H c [ B/ D .H c / C .B/ D a C .B/ < a and this contradicts the definition of a. In the case where .A/ Œ1; C1/; W A ! .1; C1 is a -additive measure. Let H be a ./-positive set and H c be a ./-negative set; then H c is -positive set and H is -negative set. Let now H1 -positive and H1c -negative an other pair. For every B 2 A with B H nH1 D H \H1c , .B/ 0 and .B/ 0, hence .B/ D 0. Then H nH1 is a -null set. Similarly, H1 nH is -null and then HH1 D .H nH1 /[.H1 nH / is a -null set. Definition 1.7. Every pair of sets ¹H; H c º A, with the property that H is positive and H c is -negative, is called a Hahn decomposition of X relatively to the measure . Remark 1.8. .i/ Hahn’s decomposition of X relatively to a measure is not unique (we can replace H by H [ N where N is a -null set). .ii/ The Hahn decomposition theorem says that, for every -additive measure , there exists a Hahn decomposition of X relatively to .

Then C ; are two -additive positive measures (one of them finite), D C and C .H c / D .H / D 0. If C 1 , 1 are two other -additive positive measures (one of them finite) such C c that D C 1 1 and if 1 .H1 / D 1 .H1 / D 0 for a set H1 2 A, then C C D 1 and D 1 .

We say that the unique pair ¹C ; º of -additive positive measures (one of them finite) with D C and C .H c / D .H / D 0 for a set H 2 A, is the Jordan decomposition of . Definition 1.11. A positive measure on A is concentrated on the set D 2 A if .D/ D .X/. Remark 1.12. If is a -additive measure on A, if ¹H; H c º is a Hahn decomposition of X relatively to and if ¹C ; º is the Jordan decomposition of , then C is concentrated on the set H and is concentrated on H c . Theorem 1.13. Let be a -additive measure on A; there exist Am ; AM 2 A such that .Am / D inf ¹.A/ W A 2 Aº 0 sup¹.A/ W A 2 Aº D .AM /: Every -additive measure is bounded either from below or from above. Proof.

Remark 1.15. If W A ! R is only an additive measure, it is not compulsory that should be bounded, as it is shown in the following example. P1 Example 1.16. Let P1 nD0 an be a conditionally convergent series (a convergent series for which nD0 jan j D C1), let A be the algebra of all sets A N such that A or N n A is a finite and let W A ! R defined by 8 X < an ; A ¤ ;; .A/ D n2A : 0; A D ;: Then is an additive measure, but it is not bounded on the algebra A. We notice that A is not a -algebra, but, since all additive function on an algebra can be extended to an additive function on the generated -algebra – in our case P .N/ – (see [29], p.185 and [175],1.8.), it is evident that the extension itself is not bounded.

Before mentioning the definition of the integral in relation to a signed measure, we need to clarify a number of notations and properties of the integral relatively to a positive measure. Let be a positive -additive measure on A and let f W X ! R be an AC measurable mapping. We recall that f is R-integrable 0º and R if fC D sup¹f; R f D sup¹f; 0º are -integrable. Then, X f d D X f d X f d; let L1 ./ be the set of all -integrable mappings and let L1 ./ D L1 .X; A; / be the quotient space L1 ./=DP , where D P is equality -almost everywhere. the difference If at least one of the two functions f C and f is -integrable, R of the integrals is always defined and will be marked by X f d.

In relation to Proposition 1.30, if is -additive, then in order to avoid the use of the difficult formulation of “d -continuity” or the longer one “absolutely continuous with respect to ”, we will give the following definition: Definition 1.33. A measure 2 ca.A/, continuous on the space .A; d /, is called -continuous. We will note by ca .A/ the subset of all -continuous measure of ca.A/. We can find the following theorem in [57] (see Theorem 9, p. 87). Theorem 1.34. Let W A ! RC be a -additive measure, let d be the pseudometric associated and let K be a family of measures of ca.A/; then the following properties are equivalent: .i/ the family K is d -equicontinuous at some E 2 A. .ii/ the family K is d -equicontinuous at the point ; 2 A. .iii/ the family K is uniformly d -equicontinuous on A. Each of these conditions entails the following: .iv/ the family K is uniformly -additive. Proof. (i)H)(ii). Let K be d -equicontinuous at E 2 A; then, for every " > 0, there exists ı > 0 such that, for every A 2 A with d .A; E/ < ı and for every 2 K; j.A/ .E/j < ". Let A 2 A such that d .A; ;/ < ı, that is .A/ < D tan.ı/; then D .A [ E; E/ D Œ.A [ E/ 4 E D .A n E/ .A/ < and D .E n A; E/ D Œ.E n A/ 4 E D .A \ E/ .A/ < : Therefore, for every 2 K, j.A [ E/ .E/j < " and j.E/ .E n A/j < ". We have then: j.A/j D j.A [ E/ .E n A/j j.A [ E/ .E/j C j.E/ .E n A/j < 2": K is therefore d -equicontinuous at ;. (ii) H)(iii). K being d -equicontinuous at ;, for every " > 0, there exists ı > 0 such that, for every E 2 A satisfying d .E; ;/ D arctan .E/ < ı, we have j.E/j < ", for every 2 K. If d .C; D/ D arctan .C 4 D/ < ı then d .C n D; ;/ < ı and d .D n C; ;/ < ı.

Then, for every 2 K, j.C / .D/j D j.C n D/ C .C \ D/ .C \ D/ .D n C /j j.C n D/j C j.D n C /j < 2": Therefore K is uniformly d -equicontinuous on A. Obviously, (iii) H)(i). (ii) H)(iv). Let K ca.A/ be a family satisfying (ii), let .An /n2N A be a sequence of pairwise disjoint sets and let A D [1 1 An . Then for every " > 0, there exists ı > 0 such that, for all E 2 A with .E/ < ı, we have j.E/j < ", for everyP 2 K. being -additive and positive, there exists n0 2 N such that j.A/ nkD1 .Ak /j D .A n [nkD1 P Ak / < ı, for every n n0 . Then, for every 2 K; j.A/ nkD1 .Ak /j D j.A n [nkD1 Ak /j < " from where it results that K is uniformly -additive. In a consistent manner with Theorem 1.33, we give the following definition: Definition 1.35. A family of measures K ca.A/; d -equicontinuous at ; (and therefore on A) is called -equicontinuous. We need to emphasize that the definitions of -continuity and -equicontinuity refer only to the real -additive measures, meaning that they do not refer to the -additive measures taking at most one of the values C1 or 1. However, the previous results can be extended by replacing the -additive and positive measure by a -additive measure of finite total variation jj and the measure 2 ca.A/ by a -additive measure with values in a Banach space. We will now give a very important result of equicontinuity (Vitali–Hahn–Saks theorem) which allows us to establish the analogue of the uniform boundedness principle from Functional Analysis for the Measure Theory (see Theorem III.7.2 and Corollary III.7.3 in [62] or Theorem 2.53 of [85]). Theorem 1.36 (Vitali–Hahn–Saks). Let W A ! RC be a -additive measure and let .n /n2N ca.A/ be a sequence of -continuous measures. Assume that limn n .A/ D .A/ 2 R exists, for every A 2 A; then: .i/ ¹n W n 2 Nº is -equicontinuous, .ii/ 2 ca.A/, .iii/ is -continuous. Proof. According to Proposition 1.30, n W .A; d / ! R is a continuous function, for every n 2 N.

Therefore, according to (2), jn .A/j < 3", for every n 2 N. ¹n W n 2 Nº is therefore d -equicontinuous at ; and so it is -equicontinuous. Since .n / converges punctually to , is additive on A. We still need to show that is -continuous. According to Theorem 1.34, since ¹n º is -equicontinuous, it is uniformly d -equicontinuous on A. Therefore, for every " > 0, there exists ı > 0 such that, for all A and B of A with .A 4 B/ < ı, for any n 2 N; jn .A/ n .B/j < ". Now let n tend to 1; so we obtain j.A/ .B/j ", from where it results that is uniformly - d -continuous and so it is d -continuous. From Proposition 1.31, it results that 2 ca.A/ and, according to Proposition 1.30, is -continuous.

(5)

If (4) is satisfied, then we note C1 D B1 (otherwise C1 D A1 ). Because all finite subset of ca.A/ is uniformly bounded on A (this is an immediate consequence of Corollary 1.14), we have sup .sup jn .A \ A1 /j/ D C1:

Can one restart this procedure by applying (1) to A1 . Let †2 D supk jk .A1 /jC2; there exist n2 > n1 and an A - partition .A2 ; B2 / of A1 such that jn2 .A2 /j 2;

Theorem 1.38 (Uniform boundedness Nikodym’s theorem). Suppose that .n / ca.A/ is a sequence of measures such that supn jn .A/j < C1;
for every

Then ¹n W n 2 Nº is bounded in the space .ca.A/; k k/. Proof. We suppose that ¹n W n 2 Nº is unbounded in .ca.A/; k k/. Since the norms k k and k k1 are equivalent on ca.A/ (cf. Theorem 1.23), this means that sup .sup jn .A/j/ D C1:

Suppose that (4) were achieved and let us note n1 D n , A1 D A and B1 D B (otherwise, we note A1 D B and B1 D A ). We restart the operation by replacing (1) with (4), X by A1 , and ˛ by 2 D sup jn .A1 /j C ˛2 where ˛2 D 3 C supn jn .B1 /j. Then, there exist n2 > n1 and A2 2 A, A2 A1 such that jn2 .A2 /j 2 .

Radon–Nikodym Theorem. The Dual of L1
Firstly, we will present the Radon–Nikodym’s theorem to identify the absolutely continuous measures with respect to a positive measure and then we will give the Lebesgue’s decomposition theorem. We will conclude this part with the theorem of isomorphism between L1 ./ and the dual space of L1 ./. Let A be a -algebra on X, let W A ! RC be a -additive and -finite positive measure and let .L1 ./; k k1 / be the Banach space of R all integrable mappings with respect to provided with norm k k1 W kf k1 D X jf jd. Let W L1 ./ ! Rca.A/ be the function defined by .f / D f , where, for all E 2 A; f .E/ D E f d: Then is a linear application. For every f 2 L1 ./, let A D ¹x 2 X W f .x/ < 0º

Due to the absolute continuity of integral, for all f 2 L1 ./, forR every " > 0, there exists ı > 0 such that, for all E 2 A with .E/ < ı, we have E jf jd < " or jf j.E/ < ". According to Proposition 1.30 (ii), it results that f . Let f1 ; f2 2 Œf , where Œf is the equivalence class of function f 2 L1 ./; it is easy to see that, for all E 2 A, f1 .E/ D f2 .E/, fC1 .E/ D fC2 .E/ D R R C C and jf1 j.E/ D fC1 .E/ C f1 .E/ D fC2 .E/ C E f1 d D E f2 d R f2 .E/ D jf2 j.E/ D E jf jd. Therefore, we can define ‰ W L1 ./ ! ca.A/ by ‰.Œf / D .f / D f . ‰ embeds the space L1 ./ into the subspace ca .A/ ca.A/ of all -additive measures, absolutely continuous with respect to . The following theorem, allows us to show that ‰.L1 .// D ca .A/; so that ‰ is an isomorphism between .L1 ./; k k1 / and .ca .A/; k k/, where k k is the norm defined in Theorem 1.23 (for Radon–Nikodym theorem, may consult references [62], Theorem III.10.2 and [85], Theorems 1.101 and 1.111). Theorem 1.40 (Radon–Nikodym’s theorem). Let W A ! RC be a -additive and -finite positive measure and let be a -additive, -finite and -continuous measure on A. There exists an A-measurable application f W X ! R such that Z .A/ D f d; for every A 2 A: A
The function f is unique modulo the equality -almost everywhere. In this statement, to remark that, according to notations in R R R it is convenient Proposition 1.25, A f d D A f C d A f d shows that at least one of the functions f C or f is integrable on A. The proof from below follows the ideas of [93] (see Theorems A and B, sect. 31, p. 128); it will be achieved in several stages and require the following lemma: Lemma 1.41. Let and be two -additive positive measures defined on A; let us suppose that is finite, that is -continuous and .X/ > 0. There exist " > 0 and A 2 A such that .A/ > 0 and ."/C is concentrated on the set A.

Because .D c / < C1, .D c / D 0. Since .X/ > 0, .D/ > 0 and, as , .D/ > 0. So, there is at least one n 2 N such that .An / > 0. " D n1 and An satisfy then the conditions of lemma. Proof of theorem.

Now, we will show that fN is the solution to the stated problem. Let D fN R, where fN indicates the positive measure which, to any E 2 A, associates E fNd. Since fN 2 F , is a measure positive, finite and -continuous. Therefore, according to the previous lemma, if .X/ > 0, then there exist " > 0 and A 2 A such that .A/ > 0 and .

Then .B/ D B gd C B gd D .B/ C .B/; since is finite, .B/ D 0. Let’s put, for every A 2 A, .A/ D .A \ B/ and .A/ D .A \ B 0 /.

We will end this section with a final important application of the Radon– Nikodym theorem: the identification of the dual of L1 ./. Theorem 1.49 (Theorem IV.8.5 in [62]). Let W A !

We still have to demonstrate that T is surjective. For every x 2 ŒL1 ./ , let W A ! R be defined by .A/ D x . A /, for all A 2 A.

Remark 1.50. .i/ Using an analogous method, we can demonstrate the following statement: Let 1 < p < C1 and q such that p1 C q1 D 1. For every -additive, -finite and positive measure W A !

Ff is an isometric isomorphism between the Banach spaces Lq and the dual .Lp / of Lp . .ii/ If W A ! RC is a -additive and positive measure, but not a -finite one then J. Schwartz ([151]) showed, using a totally different method, that this result is still true for 1 p < C1. Example 1.51. In Example 1.44, we have introduced the measure on N and we showed that L1 ./ is the space `1 of all absolutely summable sequences. From the previous theorem, it follows that the dual space of `1 is L1 ./, the space of all bounded sequences; this space is noted with `1 .

Convergences in L1 ./ and ca.A/
In this section, we will characterize the strong convergence in L1 ./ through of convergence in measure and weak convergence. In the last part, we will present the weak convergence in L1 ./ and in ca.A/. We first recall the definition of the strong convergence and that of the convergence in measure, as well as the notion of -equicontinuity of a family of functions. Let W A ! RC be a -additive and positive measure and let .fn /n2N 1 L ./ and f 2 L1 ./; we say that: R .i/ .fn / is strongly convergent to f ” kfn f k1 D X jfn f jd ! 0. n!1

! f: denoted by fn Definition 1.52. A family F L1 ./ of integrable functions is -equicontinuous if, for every " > 0, there R exists ı > 0 such that, for any E 2 A with .E/ < ı and for all f 2 F , j E f dj < ":

Remark 1.53. .i/ This definition is coherent with Definition 1.35. Indeed, let us R denote, for every f 2 F , f D ‰.f /, where f W A ! R; f .E/ D E f d; then F is -equicontinuous if and only if ¹f W f 2 F º is -equicontinuous. .ii/ According to Remark 1.29 and to (i), F RL1 ./ is -equicontinuous if, for every " > 0, there exists ı > 0 such that E jf jd < ", for every E 2 A verifying .E/ < ı and for all f 2 F . .iii/ It is obvious that all finite family of functions F L1 ./ is -equicontinuous. The following theorem gives us the conditions that will be added to the convergence in measure in order to obtain the strong convergence in L1 ./ (see Theorem III.6.15 of [62]). Theorem 1.54 (Vitali). Let W A ! RC be a -additive and positive measure, let .fn /n2N L1 ./ and let f W X ! R be an A-measurable function. Then kk1
f 2 L1 ./ and fn ! f if and only if the following conditions are accomplished:

Proof. Firstly, we suppose that f 2 L1 ./ and fn ! f . The convergence in measure results immediately from the following inequality: .jfn f j "/ 1" kfn f k1 , for all n and for all " > 0. kk1
Let’s show that ¹fn W n 2 Nº is -equicontinuous. As fn ! f , for every " > 0, there exists n0 2 N such that, for all n n0 ; kfn f k1 < ":

Let 2 caC .A/; the sequence .fn / L1 ./ is strongly convergent to f 2 L1 ./ if and only if it is convergent in measure to f and it is equicontinuous. As we show in the following examples, the convergence in measure or the equicontinuity, separately taken, do not lead to the strong convergence. Example 1.56.

Let .n / ca.A/ and let 2 ca.A/. .n / is weakly convergent to in ca.A/ if and only if n .A/ ! .A/, for every A 2 A. Proof. If we suppose that .n / is weakly convergent to , then, for any continuous linear functional x on ca.A/, x .n / converges to x ./ for n tending to infinity. If xA W ca.A/ !

R R Then, for all A 2 A; A fn d D n .A/ ! .A/ D A f d and so, according to Theorem 1.57, the sequence .fn / is weakly convergent to f in the space L1 ./. Since L1 ./ is a normed space isometrically isomorphic with ca .A/ (see Theorem 1.43), .n / converges weakly to in ca .A/ and so in ca.A/. Corollary 1.59 (Theorem IV.9.4 of [62] or Theorem 12, p. 91, [57]). ca.A/ is sequentially weakly complete. Proof. Let .n / ca.A/ be a weakly Cauchy sequence; this means that, for every x 2 Œca.A/ , .x .n //n2N is a Cauchy sequence in R. Let now, for every A 2 A, xA 2 Œca.A/ , defined by xA ./ D .A/, for every 2 ca.A/. Then xA .n / D n .A/ and .n .A//n2N is a Cauchy sequence in R, for every A 2 A. We note, for all A 2 A, .A/ D limn n .A/. According to Nikodym’s theorem (see Theorem 1.37), 2 ca.A/ and since n .A/ ! .A/, for all A 2 A, the previous corollary assures that .n / converges weakly to . Remark 1.60. Let W A ! RC be a -additive and -finite measure. ca .A/ is a strongly closed subspace of ca.A/; therefore it is a weakly closed one. It follows that ca .A/ is weakly sequentially complete and therefore L1 ./ is weakly sequentially complete, too. It is known that the weak topology coincides with the strong topology on a normed space if and only if it is of finite dimension. However one may happen in an infinite dimensional space that every weakly convergent sequence to be strongly convergent. This phenomenon occurs in the space `1 . Theorem 1.61 (Schur; see Corollary IV.8.14 of [62]). Let W P .N/ ! RC be the measure of Example 1.44 and let L1 ./ D `1 be the space P of all absolutely convergent sequences x D .xn / R, with the norm kxk D n2N jxn j. A sequence .x p /p2N .`1 ; k k1 / is strongly convergent to x 2 `1 if and only if .x p / is weakly convergent to x. Proof. For all normed space, the strong convergence implies the weak convergence. Conversely, let .x p /p2N be a sequence weakly convergent to x D .xn /n2N p in `1 ; we note that, for every p 2 N, x p D .xn /n2N . We prove that the sequence .x p /p2N is strongly convergent to x D .xn /n2N by using the Vitali’s Theorem 1.54.

Weak Compactness in ca.A/ and L1 ./
Lp ./ is a reflexive space for all p 21; C1Œ. This is an easy consequence of the theorem given in Remark 1.50. In this situation, a set K Lp ./ is relatively weakly compact if and only if K is a bounded set. For the space L1 ./, which is not reflexive, the issue of weak compactness is more complicated. We begin with the following lemma (see lemma at page 91 in [57]): Lemma 1.62. Let G be an algebra which generates the -algebra A and let .n / ca.A/ be a sequence of measures. The limit limn n .A/ 2 R exists, for all A 2 A, if and only if the following two conditions are verified: (1) limn n .E/ 2 R, (2) ¹n W n 2 Nº
for every E 2 G ,
is uniformly -additive.
Proof. The necessity of (1) is obvious and that of condition (2) is a consequence of the Nikodym’s theorem (see Theorem 1.37). To show that the conditions (1) and (2) are also sufficient, we use the fact that -algebra generated by an algebra is just the monotone class generated by this algebra [93, Th.B, p. 27]. Let L D ¹A 2 A W there exists limn n .A/ 2 Rº. Then, (a) G L A and (b) L is a monotone class of sets. Indeed, let .Em / L be a monotone sequence such that S E D limm Em . If we suppose that the sequence is increasing, then ED 1 0 Em and, since ¹n W n 2 Nº is uniformly additive, for every " > 0, there exists m0 2 N such that ˇ ˇ m1 ˇ ˇ X ˇ ˇ n .Ei C1 n Ei /ˇ < "; for every m m0 and every n 2 N ˇn .E/ ˇ ˇ i D0

It means that .n .Em //m converges to n .E/, uniformly in n 2 N. We have the same result if we assume that the sequence .Em /m is decreasing to E. If Em0 2 L, then .n .Em0 //n2N is a Cauchy sequence; then there exists n0 2 N such that, jp .Em0 / q .Em0 /j < ";

Therefore, by (1) and (2), for every p; q n0 ; jp .E/ q .E/j jp .E/ p .Em0 /j C jp .Em0 / q .Em0 /j C jq .Em0 / q .E/j < 3": Then .p .E//p2N is convergent in R and therefore E 2 L; this proves (b). (c) L is a monotone class containing G . Then the monotone class generated by G , M.G /, is contained in L. But, the -algebra .G / D A is just the monotone class M.G / L A. Which proves the result. Remark 1.63. As we show in the following example, the condition of “uniformly -additivity” in the previous lemma is indispensable. Let G D ¹A N W A finite or N n A finiteº; G is an algebra that generates the -algebra P .N/. For every n 2 N, let n D ın the unit mass concentrated at n. Then .n / ca.P .N// and ² 0; E is finite; for all E 2 G : lim n .E/ D 1; X n E is finite; n!C1 If P is the set of all even numbers of N, then the limit limn!C1 n .P / doesn’t exist. It is clear that ¹n W n 2 Nº is not uniformly -additive on N. Using the previous lemma, we can give the following weak compactness result on ca.A/ (see Theorems IV.9. 1 and 2 of [62] and Theorem 13, p. 92, of [57]). Theorem 1.64. Let K ca.A/; the following conditions are equivalent: .i/ K is relatively weakly compact in (ca.A/; k:k), .ii/ K is bounded and uniformly -additive, .iii/ K is bounded and there exists a measure 2 caC .A/ such that K is equicontinuous.

Theorem 1.65 (Dunford–Pettis; see Theorem 2.54 of [85] and [57], p. 93). Let 2 caC .A/ and K L1 ./. The following conditions are equivalent: .i/ K is relatively weakly compact in (L1 ./; k k1 ), .ii/ K is bounded and the integrals of members of K are uniformly -additive, .iii/ K is bounded and -equicontinuous. Proof. According to the notations introduced at the beginning of the Section 1.2, by ‰.f / D f , where, for every f 2 L1 ./, let ‰ W L1 ./ ! ca.A/ defined R f is defined by f .A/ D A f d, for every A 2 A. ‰ is an isometric isomorphism between the normed spaces L1 ./ and ca .A/ ca.A/ (Theorem 1.43). Therefore the subset K L1 ./ is relatively weakly compact in .L1 ./; k k1 / if and only if K D ‰.K/ is relatively weakly compact in ca .A/; since ca .A/ is a closed subset of ca.A/, this is equivalent with ‰.K/ is relatively weakly compact in ca.A/. Obviously, the condition (ii) of Theorem 1.64 on K is equivalent with the above condition (ii) on K. For the conditions (iii) of these two theorems, we need to demonstrate the equivalence between the two following conditions: (a) K is -equicontinuous; (b) 90 2 caC .A/ for which K is 0 -equicontinuous. We can rewrite these conditions: R (a) For every " > 0, there exists ı > 0 such that A jf jd < ", for every A 2 A with .A/ < ı and every f 2 K. 0 C (b) There R exists 2 ca .A/ such that, for 0every " > 0, there exists ı > 0 such that A jf jd < ", for every A 2 A with .A/ < ı and every f 2 K. Obviously, (a)H)(b) (with 0 D ).

Theorem 1.67 (Theorem IV.8.16 of [62]). The dual space of L1 ./ is isometrically isomorphic as normed space with ba .A/. Proof. Let x 2 ŒL1 ./ ; then x W L1 ./ ! R is a continuous linear mapping on L1 ./. Since, for all A 2 A, A 2 L1 ./ , we can define x W A ! R by: x .A/ D x . A /, for every A 2 A. Obviously, x is additive. jx .A/j kx k k A k1 kx k < C1;

S is therefore an isometric isomorphism between the normed spaces ŒL1 ./ and ba .A/: According to Theorem 1.49, we deduce the following corollary. Corollary 1.68. The space .ba .A/; k k/ is the bidual of .L1 ./; k k1 /. Remark 1.69. ca .A/ ba .A/ and the mapping ‰ W L1 ./ ! ba .A/, defined by ‰.f / D f for every f 2 L1 ./, is the natural embedding of L1 ./ in its bidual. As a consequence of Radon–Nikodym theorem (1.40), we have shown (Theorem 1.43) that L1 ./ is isometric isomorphic with ca .A/. According to Alaoglu theorem [62, V.4.2] and its immediate consequence, the Goldstine’s theorem ([62] V.4.5 and 6), ‰.L1 .// is .L1 ./; ba .A// -dense in ba .A/. This will allow us to characterize the measures of ba .A/ through nets (generalized sequences). Theorem 1.70. Let W A ! RC be a -additive and - finite measure and let 2 ba.A/. 2 ba .A/ ” there exists a net .fi /i 2I L1 ./ such that Z .A/ D lim fi d; for every A 2 A: i

If this net is -equicontinuous, then 2 ca .A/. Proof. ()) According to Theorem 1.43 and with the notations already used, the mapping ‰ W L1 ./ ! ba .A/, defined by ‰.f / D f D f , is an isometric isomorphism between the normed spaces L1 ./ and ca .A/. Let again ‰ be the natural embedding of L1 ./ in its bidual ba .A/ and let w be the topology .ba .A/; L1 .// on ba .A/; according to the previous remark, ca .A/ D ‰.L1 .// is w - dense in ba .A/ . Therefore, for all 2 ba .A/, there exists a w net .fi /i 2I L1 ./ such that ‰.fi / ! . R Since, for all A R2 A; A 2 L1 ./, ‰.fi /. A / D E fi d ! .A/. Therefore .A/ D limi A fi d, for every A 2 A. 1 (() R for every A 2 A, .A/ D R Let now .fi /i 2I L ./ be a net such that, limi A fi d. For every A 2 A with .A/ D 0; A fi d D 0; 8i 2 I ; therefore .A/ D 0, from where and 2 ba .A/.
Section 1.5 The Bidual of L1 ./
57
Now, if .fi /i 2I is -equicontinuous, then, by Dunford–Pettis’ theorem (Theorem 1.65), ¹fi W i 2 I º is relatively weakly compact. So there exists aR subnet of .fi /i 2I weakly convergent to a function f 2 L1 ./. Then .A/ D A f d, for every A 2 A; therefore D f: and, according to Proposition 1.31, 2 ca .A/. Remark 1.71. .i/ In accordance with the notations of the previous theorem, let i W A ! R, i D fi . Therefore i .E/ ! .E/, for all E 2 A and does not necessarily belong to ca.A/. This shows that the Nikodym’s theorem (1.37) is no longer true if we replace the sequences by nets. .ii/ Let X be a countable set, P .X/ P be the family of all subsets of X and 0 W P .X/ ! Œ0; C1, 0 .A/ D x2X ıx .A/, where ıx is the unit mass concentrated in x (0 .A/ gives the number of elements of A). Then 0 is a positive, -additive and -finite measure on P .X/. Let B.X/ D ¹f W X ! R W f is bounded on Xº and k k W B.X/ ! RC ; kf k D supx2X jf .x/j. Then .B.X/; k k/ .L1 .0 /; k k1 / is a Banach space. According to Theorem 1.67, the dual space of .B.X/; k k/ is ba0 .P .X//. Because 0 .A/ D 0 , A D ;; ba0 .P .X// D ba.P .X// ( 0 ; 8 2 ba.P .X//). Therefore .ba.P .X/; k k/ is the dual space of .B.X/; k k/. Definition 1.72. (Definition III.7.7 of [62]) A measure 2 baC .A/ is said to be purely finitely additive if the inequality 0 , with countably additive, imply D 0. Let 2 ba.A/ and let C ; 2 baC .A/ be the positive and the negative variation of (see Definition 1.19). is called purely finitely additive if C and are purely finitely additive. Definition 1.73. Two additive measures ; on A are called orthogonal measures if, for every " > 0, there exists A" 2 A such that jj.A" / < " and j j.X n A" / < "; this is denoted by ? . Remark 1.74. .i/ This definition is in according to Definition 1.45; indeed if and are countable additives (; 2 ca.A/), then, according with Proposition 1.46, the following assertions are equivalent:

Chapter 1 Weak Compactness in Measure Spaces
.a/ There exists a set D 2 A such that jj is concentrated on D and j j is concentrated on D c D X n D. .b/ For every " > 0, there exists a set A" 2 A such that jj.A" / < " and j j.X n A" / < ". .ii/ If and are only finitely additive, the previous properties are no longer equivalent. We have the following implication: .a/ ) .b/. As shown in the following example, the implication .b/ ) .a/ is not true. Example 1.75. Let X be an arbitrary set and let W P .X/ ! ¹0; 1º be an additive measure such that .X/ D 1. Let us denote U D ¹A X W .A/ D 1º. It is easy to see that U is an ultrafilter on X. Reciprocally, for every ultrafilter U on X, , defined by .A/ D 1 if A 2 U and .A/ D 0 if A … U, is an additive measure on X associated to the ultrafilter U. Let now F D ¹A N W N n A is finite º. F is a filter on N; let U be the ultrafilter which contains F and let be the additive measure associated to U. is purely finitely additive. Indeed, 2 baC .P .N// and, for P every countably additive measure 2 caC .P .N// with 0 , .N/ D n2N .¹nº/ D 0 (if there were a number n0 2 N with .¹n0 º/ > 0 then .¹n0 º/ D 1 and so ¹n0 º 2 U what is impossible because N n ¹n0 º 2 FP U) . 1 Let m W P .N/ ! RC defined by m.A/ D n2A .nC1/2 if A ¤ ; and m.;/ D 0. It is clear that m 2 caC P.P .N//. 1We show that m ? . For every " > 0, there exists n0 2 N such that nn0 .nC1/2 < " and therefore m.A0 / < ", where A0 D ¹n0 ; n0 C 1; : : : º. N n A0 is finite so that A0 2 U; then N n A0 … U and so .N n A0 / D 0 < ". Therefore m ? . On the other hand, if there were a set B0 2 P .N/ with m.B0 / D 0 D .N n B0 /, then N n B0 … U so that B0 2 U and then .B0 / D 1; because m.B0 / D 0, B0 D ; and then N n B0 2 U which is impossible. So .b/ » .a/. We have seen in the previous example that the purely finitely additive measure is orthogonal to the -additive measure m. The following theorem shows that this is a general property for all purely finitely additive measure (see [175]). Theorem 1.76. Let 2 ba.A/; then is purely finitely additive if and only if is orthogonal on every -additive measure 2 ca.A/. Proof. We can notice that ? if and only if ? jj and then we can suppose that 2 caC .A/.

Let now 2 caC .A/ with 0 C ; since C ? , for every " > 0, there exists A" 2 A such that C .A" / < " and .X n A" / < ". Hence, for every " > 0, .X/ D .A" / C .X n A" / C .A" / C .X n A" / < 2"; then .X/ D 0 and so D 0. Therefore C is purely finitely additive. Similarly we show that is purely finitely additive and so is purely finitely additive. Corollary 1.77. The subset bap .A/ ba.A/ of all purely finitely additive measures is a subspace of the real vector space ba.A/. Proof. For every 1 ; 2 2 bap .A/, D 1 C 2 2 ba.A/.

For every 2 bap .A/, for all a 2 R, let D a , 2 ba.A/. Then j j D jaj jj is evidently orthogonal to every 2 caC .A/, hence 2 bap .A/. Now we can present an important result of decomposition for the finitely additive measures. It was proved by Hewitt and Yosida in [175] (see also Theorem 1.12 in [85] and Theorem III.7.8 in [62]). Theorem 1.78 (Hewitt–Yosida). Each finitely additive measure 2 ba.A/ is uniquely decomposed as the sum of a countably additive and a purely finitely additive measure: D C ; where 2 ca.A/ and 2 bap .A/: Proof. (i) Firstly, we suppose that 2 baC .A/. Let D ¹ 2 caC .A/ W 0 º and let ˛ D sup 2 .X/; then 0 ˛ .X/ < C1: Let .n /n2N be a sequence such that limn!1 n .X/ D ˛.

Definition 1.91. Let .fi /i 2I L1 ./ be a net, f 2 L1 ./ and a 0. The sequence .fi /i 2I is called a- convergent to f if, for every A 2 A, ˇ ˇZ ˇ ˇ lim sup ˇˇ .fi f /dˇˇ a; i 2I

Remark 1.92. .i/ Obviously, a net is 0-convergent if and only if it is weakly convergent in L1 ./. Similarly, a set H L1 ./ is relatively 0-compact if and only if H is relatively weakly compact. .ii/ According to (ii) of Corollary 1.89, if .fn / L1 ./ is convergent in measure to f , then .fn / is ..fn //-convergent to f . The following theorem is a first extension of the Dunford–Pettis theorem; it was demonstrated in [73] (see Theorem 1). Theorem 1.93. Let H L1 ./ be a bounded set and let .H / be his modulus of uniform integrability. Then H is relatively .H /-compact. Proof. Let ‰ be the natural embedding of L1 ./ in its bidual ba .A/ and let .fi /i 2I H be a net. Since H is bounded in L1 ./, ‰.H / it is bounded in

Remark 2.14. The previous remark is not generally true for the measures of ca.BT / that are not Radon measures. We can find in [59] an example of Borel measure on a compact space taking only the 0 and 1 values and without support. This example is mentioned also in [152] , p. 45.

Polish Spaces. Suslin Spaces
The aim of this section is to present several important classes of Radon spaces: Polish spaces and, more general, Suslin spaces. In this paragraph, we use the monographs [31, 68, 152]. We will first recall the definitions to be used in the following. Definition 2.15. A topological space T is said .i/ second-countable if T has a countable base, .ii/ separable if T contains a countable dense set, .iii/ Lindelöf space if every open cover of T has a countable subcover, .iv/ hereditarily Lindelöf if every subspace of T is a Lindelöf space.

Chapter 2 Bounded Measures on Topological Spaces
It is well known that a second-countable space is separable (see Proposition 12 of §2 in [31]); moreover: In a metrizable space T , the following properties are equivalent: .i/ T is second-countable, .ii/ T is separable, .iii/ T is homeomorphic to a subset of the Hilbert cube Œ0; 1N . In the following, we present the definitions of Polish and Suslin spaces; see Definitions 1 and 2, §6 in [31] and Definitions 1, p. 93 and 3, p. 96 in [152] . Definition 2.16. A topological space .P; / is said to be a Polish space if it is separable and if there exists a metric d on P compatible with (the topology induced by d coincides with ) for which .P; d / is complete. We can always choose d 1. A Hausdorff topological space S is said to be a Suslin space if there exists a Polish space P and a continuous surjection from P to S . It is clear that, if .S; / is a Suslin space, then .S; / is Suslin also, for every Hausdorff topology . Example 2.17. As examples of Polish spaces, we can mention the compact metrizable spaces as well as the separable Banach spaces. Every Polish space is a Suslin space, but there are important examples of Suslin spaces that are not Polish spaces, as the one to follow. Let .X; k k/ be a separable Banach space of infinite dimension; then the weak topology .X; X / is not metrizable and, as .X; .X; X // is the continuous image of the Polish space .X; kk /, .X; .X; X // is a Suslin space which is not a Polish one. In the following theorems, we will present some important families and properties of the Polish and the Suslin spaces (see Propositions 1 and 2, §6, in [31] and Proposition 3, p. 104, in [152] ). Theorem 2.18. .i/ Every space homeomorphic to a Polish space is Polish. .ii/ Every finite or countable product of Polish spaces is Polish. Every finite or countable sum of Polish spaces is a Polish space. .iii/ Every closed (open) subspace of a Polish space is Polish. .iv/ Every Polish space is hereditarily Lindelöf.

Proof. (i) Let P be a Polish space and let d be a complete metric compatible with the topology of P . If Q is a topological space and if f is a homeomorphism of P on Q, then g W Q Q ! RC , defined by g.x; y/ D d.f 1 .x/; f 1 .y//; is a metric on Q compatible with the topology of Q and .Q; g/ is complete; then Q is a Polish space. (ii) It is easy to seeQthat, if ¹.P Qn ; n / W n 2 I º is a finite or countable family of Polish spaces, then . n2I Pn ; n2I n / is a Polish space . For the sum, we suppose that the sets Pn are pairwise disjoint (if it is not the case, then one can replace the Pn by Pn0 D Pn ¹nº and n with n0 D n ¹;; ¹nºº). S Let P D 1 D ¹D P W D \ Pn 2 n ; for every n 2 Nº. nD0 Pn and L Let us show that .P; / D 1 nD0 .Pn ; n / is a Polish space. Indeed, if, for every n 2 N; An is a countable and dense set in .Pn ; n /, then S1 A D nD0 An is countable and dense in .P; /. Moreover, if dn 1 is a metric on Pn such that n D dn and that .Pn ; dn / is complete, then d W P P ! RC , ² dn .x; y/; x; y 2 Pn ; d.x; y/ D ; 1; x 2 Pn ; y 2 Pm ; n ¤ m is a metric on P with D d and .P; d / is complete (if .xk /k is a Cauchy sequence in P , then there exists a n such that, from a certain rank, the sequence .xk /k is contained in Pn ). (iii) Because every closed subspace of a complete space is complete, it is clear that every closed subspace of a Polish is Polish. Let us now show the property for the open subspace. Let P be a Polish space, d be a complete metric compatible with the topology of P and Q be an open subset of P . Then R P is Polish and therefore G D ¹.x; p/ 2 R P W x d.p; P n Q/ D 1º is Polish, also (G is a closed subspace of R P ). The projection W G ! Q; ..x; p// D p is a homeomorphism of G on Q. By (i), Q is Polish. (iv) Every Polish space P is a second-countable and metrizable space; then the subspaces of P are metrizable and second-countable spaces and, according to Proposition 13 of §2, no 8 in [31], they are Lindelöf spaces. Theorem 2.19 (Corollary p. 94 in [152]). A topological space is Polish if and only if it is homeomorphic to a Gı subset of Hilbert cube Œ0; 1N (a countable intersection of open sets in Œ0; 1N ).

Proof. By (iii) and (ii) of Theorem 2.18, H D Œ0; 1N is a Polish space. Firstly, let us show that a Gı subset of Œ0; 1N is a Polish space. T Let .Dn /n2N be a sequence of open subsets of Œ0; 1N and Q D Qn2N Dn . By (iii) of 2.18, for every n 2 N, Dn is PolishQand by (ii) of 2.18, n2N Dn is Polish, also. The diagonal of the product n2N Dn is a closed subset of Q Q D .xn /n2N , where, for n2N Dn , therefore it is Polish. For every x 2 Q, let x every n, xn D x; then the mapping x ! xQ is a homeomorphism of Q on so that Q is Polish. Conversely, let .P; / be a Polish space, let d be a complete metric compatible with such that d 1 and let A D ¹pn W n 2 Nº be a countable dense subset of P . The mapping f W P ! H , defined by f .p/ D .d.p; pn //p2N is a homeomorphism of P on f .P / D Q. Indeed, because A is dense in P , it is clear that f is a continuous injective mapping. Let now B D Bd .p; r/ and let n0 such that d.p; pn0 / < 3r . If V D ¹x 2 P W jd.x; pn0 / d.p; pn0 /j < 3r º, then V is a neighborhood of p whose image by f is a neighborhood of f .p/ in Q D f .P /. By (i) of Theorem 2.18, Q is Polish. Now let g be a complete metric compatible with the topology of Q. Then g D 0 Q , where 0 is the product topology on H D Œ0; 1N . For every n 2 N , let ³ [² 1 ; Un D U 2 0 W ıg .U \ Q/ < n where ıg .E/ is the diameter of E in the metric space .Q; g/. We first notice that, for every n 2 N; Q Un . Indeed, if y 2 Q, then 1 / is an open subset of Q; hence there exists U 2 0 such that the ball Bg .y; 2n T 1 Bg .y; 2n / D U \ Q and therefore y 2 Un . Then we have Q 1 nD1 .Un \ Q/. We will show that QD

As Q is a closed subset in the metrizable space H DTŒ0; 1N , it is a countable intersection of open subsets of H from where, Q D 1 nD1 .Un \ Q/ is a Gı subset of H . The following proposition gives a family of Polish spaces which will be used later. Proposition 2.20. A locally compact space is Polish if and only if it is secondcountable. Proof. Every Polish space is second-countable. If T is a locally compact space which is second-countable, then its Alexanb is metrizable (see corollary of Proposition 16 of §2 droff’s compactification T b is Polish and, as T is open in T b, by in [31]) and second-countable. Therefore T (iii) of Theorem 2.18, T is Polish. Let us now give some properties of Suslin spaces (see Proposition 4, Section 6, in [31]). Theorem 2.21. .i/ Every Suslin space is separable. .ii/ Every Suslin space is hereditarily Lindelöf. .iii/ Every regular Suslin space is a normal space. Proof. Let .S; / be a Suslin space; there exist a Polish space P and a surjective continuous mapping f W P ! S . (i) If A is a countable dense subset of P , then f .A/ is countable and dense in S , hence S is separable. (ii) To show that S is hereditarly Lindelöf it is sufficient to show that every open subset D S is Lindelöf. Let ¹D W 2 º be an open cover of D. Then ¹f 1 .D / W 2 º is an open cover of f 1 .D/ in P . As P is hereditarily Lindelöf (see (iv) of Theorem 2.18), there exists a countable family 0 such that ¹f 1 .D W 2 0 º is a cover of f 1 .D/. Then ¹D W 2 0 º is a countable cover of D. (iii) Let .S; / be a regular Suslin space and let A and B two closed and disjoint subsets of S . For every x 2 A and every y 2 B, there exist Ux ; Vy 2 such that x 2 Ux U x S n B and y 2 Vy V y S n A. The family ¹Ux W x 2 Aº is an open cover of A and the family ¹Vy W y 2 Bº an open cover of B. As S isS hereditarly Lindelöf,Sthere exist .xn /n2N A and .yn /n2N B such 1 that A 1 nD1 Uxn and B nD1 Vyn .

Hence .S; / is a normal space. In the following sections, the property of a space to be completely regular will be indispensable in order to obtain significant results; then we will give the next corollary: Corollary 2.22. Every regular Suslin space is a completely regular space. Proof. Since any normal space is completely regular, the corollary results immediately from (iii) of previous theorem. The following theorem lists some important properties of Suslin spaces (see Propositions 5, 7 and 8, §6, in [31]). Theorem 2.23. .i/ Every space homeomorphic to a Suslin space is Suslin. .ii/ Every closed or open subspace of a Suslin space is Suslin. .iii/ A continuous image of a Suslin space in a Hausdorff space is Suslin. .iv/ Every finite or countable product of Suslin spaces is Suslin. The sum of a finite or countable family of Suslin spaces is Suslin. .v/ Every union and every intersection of a finite or countable family of Suslin subspaces of a Hausdorff space is Suslin. Proof. The proofs of (i), (ii) and (iii) are obvious. (iv) Let ¹.Sn ; n / W n 2 Nº be a countable family of Suslin spaces and let, for every n 2 N; .Pn ; n / be a Polish space and fn W Pn ! Sn be a Q surjective con1 tinuous mapping; then, according to Theorem Q12.18 (ii), .P; / D nD0 .Pn ; n / is a Polish space and, if f W P ! S D Q 0 Sn is defined by: f ..xn /n2N / D .fn .xn //n2N and if the product topology n n , then f is a continuous surjection from .P; / on .S; /. Therefore .S; / is Suslin. L Let now suppose that Sn are pairwise disjoint and let .S; / D 1 nD0 .Sn ; n /. We can suppose Lalso that Pn are pairwise disjoint. According to Theorem 2.18 (ii), .P; / D 1 nD0 .Pn ; n / is Polish. Then the mapping f W P ! S , defined

For every n 2 N, let An D Sn ¹nº and n D n ¹;; ¹nºº. Then, for every L1n 2 N, n is a topology on An and .An ; n / is a Suslin space. By (iv), nD0 .An ; n / D .A; / is Suslin. The mapping ' W A ! S , defined by: '..x; n// D x, for every .x; n/ 2 An , is a continuous surjection and therefore S is Suslin. Let now .X; / be a Hausdorff space; for every nQ2 N; let .Sn ; n / be a Suslin subspace, where n D Sn . Then, by (iv), S D 1 nD0 Sn is a Suslin subspace of X N . The diagonal D ¹.xn /n2N W where xn D x 2 X; for every n 2 Nº, is a closed subset of the product space X N ; then T \ S is a closed subset of S and so, by (ii), \S is Suslin.

Section 2.2 Polish Spaces. Suslin Spaces
Proof. 1. If .S; / is a compact Suslin space, then it is regular and, according to (ii) of Theorem 2.25, there exists a metric d on S such that d and d has a countable base. Therefore, the identity map of .S; / on .S; d / is a continuous bijection of compact space .S; / on the Hausdorff space .S; d / and so it is a homeomorphism. Then D d . As the metrizable space .S; d / is compact, .S; d / is complete and then .S; / is a compact Polish space. 2. If .S; / is a locally compact Suslin space, then, by (i) of Theorem 2.21, it is separable. Let ¹xn W n 2 Nº be a dense subset of S ; for every n 2 N, let Vn be an open and relatively compact neighborhood of xn . Vn is a compact Suslin space and, after the first part of the demonstration, a Polish space. Let now ¹Unm W m 2 Nº be a countable base of -open sets of the topology of Vn . Then ¹Unm W n; m 2 Nº is a countable base of S , so that S is second-countable locally compact space; according to Proposition 2.20, it is a Polish space. In the following we will also show that the Polish spaces and, more generally, the Suslin spaces are Radon spaces. The next preliminary result was established by A. D. Alexandrov (1940) and was rediscovered by Yu. Prohorov (1956). Theorem 2.27 (Theorem 1.4 in [28]). Let .P; / be a Polish space; then every measure 2 ca.BP .// is tight. Proof.

Let us consider the multivalued mappings F W S !

In the following, T designates a Hausdorff topological space, BT the –algebra of all Borel sets of T and KT the family of all compacts of T . We will note: C.T / D ¹f W T !

Here, a designates the constant function equal to a on T . If f a 2 C0 .T /, then a is said to be the limit of f at infinity. Obviously, Cc .T / C0 .T / C1 .T / Cb .T / C.T / and, if T is a compact space, then the previous inclusions become equalities.

Proof. .(/ This is evident because, if T is compact, then the generating families of these two topologies coincide. R .)/ The mapping 1 2 Cb .T /; hence I1 W ca.BT / ! R; I1 ./ D T 1d D .T /, is T–continuous and so it is T0 –continuous. For " D 12 , there exist ı > 0 and R f1 ; : : : ; fn 2 C0 .T / such that, for every i n and every 2 ca.BT / with j T fi dj < ı, we have jI1 ./j D j.T /j < 12 . For every i, the mapping fi vanish at infinity; there exists Ki 2 KT such that, jfi .t /j < ı, for every i n and every t 2 T n Ki . Let now K D [niD1 Ki 2 KT ; we will demonstrate by the reduction to absurd that T D K. If we suppose that R there exists t0 2 T n K, then ı t0 2 ca.BT /. Besides, for all i D 1; : : : ; n, j T fi d ı t0 j D jfi .t0 /j < ı (t0 … Ki ); therefore ı t0 .T / < 12 < 1, what is impossible. Therefore T D K is compact. Corollary 2.34. Tc .T / D T.T / if and only if T is compact. Proof. If T is compact, then Tc .T / D T.T /. Conversely, from (ii) of Remark 2.32, immediately results that, if Tc .T / D T.T /, then T0 .T / D T.T / and the previous proposition allows us to finish the demonstration. In order to demonstrate the next theorem, we need the following lemma: Lemma 2.35. Let .T; d / be a metric space; for every lower semicontinuous mapping f W T ! R, bounded from below and for every n 2 N, let fn W T ! R be the Yosida’s transform of f : fn .t/ D inf¹f .s/ C n d.t; s/ W s 2 T º; for any t 2 T. Then the sequence .fn /n2N has the following properties: .i/ inf¹f .s/ W s 2 T º fn .t/ f .t/, for every t 2 T , and every n 2 N. .ii/ fn .t/ fnC1 .t/, for every t 2 T and every n 2 N. .iii/ jfn .t/ fn .s/j n d.t; s/, for every t; s 2 T and every n 2 N. .iv/ fn .t/ " f .t/, for every t 2 T . Proof. (i) Let m D inf¹f .s/ W s 2 T º 2 R; for every t; s 2 T and every n 2 N; m f .s/ f .s/ C n d.t; s/, from where m fn .t /. By the definition of fn , fn .t/ f .t /, for every t 2 T . (ii) follows immediately. (iii) For every t; s 2 T and every " > 0, there exist t1 ; s1 2 T such that, f .t1 / C n d.t1 ; t/ < fn .t / C "; f .s1 / C n d.s1 ; s/ < fn .s/ C ":

We have therefore fn .t/ fn .s/ < f .s1 / C n d.t; s1 / f .s1 / n d.s; s1 / C " n d.t; s/ C "; fn .s/ fn .t/ < f .t1 / C n d.t1 ; s/ f .t1 / n d.t1 ; t / C " n d.t; s/ C ": Then, for every " > 0; jfn .t/ fn .s/j < n d.t; s/ C " what demonstrates (iii).

Let us suppose that sn ¹ t ; with perhaps extracting a subsequence noted again .sn /n , there exists "0 > 0 such that d.sn ; t/ "0 , for any n 2 N . Therefore, we obtain from (1) m C n "0 f .sn / C n "0 < fn .t/ C

for all n 2 N :
Then f .t / D C1; this contradicts the hypothesis that f .T / R. Therefore sn ! t and, as f is lower semicontinuous, f .t / lim inf n f .sn /. By using (1), we obtain lim sup n d.t; sn / lim sup .f .t / f .sn // 0; n

Chapter 2 Bounded Measures on Topological Spaces
Proof. (i) If T is a second-countable locally compact space, by Proposition 2.20, T is a Polish space. Let dO be a compatible metric on the Alexandroff one-point compactification TO D T [ ¹!º of T ; as TO is compact, dO is a bounded metric and his restriction to T T is a bounded metric on T compatible with its topology. Let f 2 Cb .T / and m D inf¹f .t/ W t 2 T º; the mapping fO W TO ! R; defined by ² f .t/; t 2 T O ; f .t / D m; t D ! is bounded from below and lower semicontinuous on TO . Let .fOn /n2N be the sequence of Yosida’s transforms of fO; by (iii) of the previous lemma, .fOn /n2N C.TO /. Therefore, if we note fn D fOn T , then .fn /n C1 .T / (the limit of fn at infinity is fOn .!/). So, we have proved that, for every f 2 Cb .T /, there exists a sequence .fn /n C1 .T / such that fn " f . .fn m/n2N is, therefore, an increasing sequence of continuousRand positive mappings converging to f m; R C .B /; lim so, for every 2 ca .f m/d D .f m/d, from where n T n T T R R limn T fn d D T f d or If ./ D supn Ifn ./. Because, for every n 2 N, Ifn is T1 .T /–continuous on caC .BT /, If is T1 .T /-l.s.c. on caC .BT /, for every f 2 Cb .T /. We have then the same property for f and, as If D If , If is T1 .T /– continuous on caC .BT /. According to Theorem 2.4, the second relation is identical with the first. (ii) From (ii) of Remark 2.32, there results immediately R that Tc PT TPT . For every f 2 Cb .T /, let If W P .T / ! R, If ./ D T f d; according to the definition of narrow topology T, If is T–continuous. In order to demonstrate that TPT Tc PT , let us show that If is Tc –continuous. Let 0 2 P .T / and let Tc
.i /i 2I P .T / be a net with i ! 0 . Since T is Polish, for every " > 0, there exists K" 2 KT such that 0 .T n K" / < " (see 2.28). Then there exists g 2 Cc .T / with g.T / Œ0; 1 and g K" D 1. As i .g/ ! 0 .g/, there exists i1 2 I such that, for every i i1 , ji .g/ 0 .g/j < ". Let S" D supp g K" .

.ii/ We can rewrite the second part of the previous theorem in the following manner: If T is a second-countable locally compact space, then a net of probabilities is narrowly convergent if and only if it is vaguely convergent. Let us note that this result, which is true for the probabilities, cannot be applied for caC .BT / D rcaC .BT /; in fact, the sequence .ın /n converges vaguely to 0, but it is not narrowly convergent. .iii/ We will show later (see 2.52) that, in the case where T is only locally compact (that is, without being second-countable), then, for every net .i /i 2I RcaC .BT / and every measure 2 RcaC .BT /; T

(even though, in this case, Rca.BT / ¤ ca.BT /). We will now mention some properties of the Radon measure spaces on a completely regular space. Let us remind that a Hausdorff space T is completely regular (or Tychonoff space) if, for every x 2 T and every closed set F with x … F , there exists a continuous mapping f W T ! Œ0; 1 such that f .x/ D 0 and f .y/ D 1, for any y 2 F . Proposition 2.38. Let .T; / be a completely regular space and let ‰ W T ! Rca.BT / be the application defined by: ‰.t / D ı t , for every t 2 T . Then ‰ is a homeomorphism of .T; / on .‰.T /; T‰.T / /. Proof. Since T is completely regular, for every pair .s; t / 2 T T with s ¤ t , there exists f 2 Cb .T / such that f .s/ D 0 and f .t / D 1 what implies that ıs ¤ ı t . Then, ‰ is injective and therefore a bijection of T on ‰.T /. Let us show that ‰ is bicontinuous. Let .ti /i 2I be a net of .T; / which converges to t . For every " > 0 and every f 2 Cb .T /, Uf;" .ı t / D ¹ 2 Rca.BT / W j.f / ı t .f /j < "º is a T-neighborhood of ‰.t / D ı t .

Hence, we infer that when T is completely regular, the narrow topology on ca.BT / is strictly less fine than weak topology of ca.BT /. In the following, we will present some topological properties of Radon measures space .Rca.BT /; T/, where we will still note T instead of TRca.BT / , the trace of the narrow topology on Rca.BT /.

From (7), there results that lim supi i .F / limi i .F an / D .F an /, for every n 2 N. As limn .F an / D .F /, we have shown that lim supi i .F / .F /, for every F D FN T . Finally, since .TN n T ı / D 0, from hypothesis (iv), we immediately obtain that limi i .T / D .T /. (iii) is then proved. Remark 2.54. The properties of the previous theorem do not remain equivalent on Rca.BT /. Indeed, let u be the usual topology on R and let Bu be the Borel -algebra on .R; u /.

Then: .i/ BT D i 1 .BX / D ¹i 1 .A/ W A 2 BX º. .ii/ For every measure 2 Rca.BT /, let I./ W BX !

I./; then: .iii/ I is a bijection, .iv/ kI./k D kk, for every 2 Rca.BT / and .v/ I is a homeomorphism between the subspaces RcaC .BT / and MTC provided with their narrow topology. Before the demonstration, let us remind that j j is the total variation of measure (see Definition 1.19). j j W P .X/ ! RC indicates the outer measure generated by j j, defined by j j .A/ D inf¹j j.B/ W B 2 BX ; A Bº. MT Rca.BX / is the subset of all measures on X concentrated on T (according to the terminology of [32], Chap. 9). Proof. (i) Let BT0 D i 1 .BX /. Since T D i 1 .X / D ¹i 1 .A/ W A 2 X º, BT D B.i 1 .X //. On the other hand, BT0 is a -algebra on T generated by i 1 .X / since X generates BX . Therefore, we have BT0 D BT . (ii) It is obvious that I./ is a positive measure on X and that I./.X/ D .T /. Therefore I./ 2 ca.BX /. According to Theorem 1.17, for every A 2 BX , jI./j.A/ D 8 9 n = I.jj/.A/ " D jI./j.A/ ". Then, for every A 2 BX , jI./j.A/ D sup¹jI./j.K 0 / W K 0 2 KX ; K 0 Aº and so I./ 2 Rca.BX /. We have 2 Rca.BT /; therefore, for every " > 0, there exists K1 2 KT such that jj.K1 / > jj.T / ". If K10 D i.K1 / 2 KX , then jI./j.K10 / D I.jj/.K10 / D jj.K1 / > jj.i 1 .X// " D I.jj/.X/ " D jI./j.X/ ". So jI./j.X n K10 / < " and, as X n K10 X n i.T /, jI./j .X n i.T // < ". Hence jI./j .X n i.T // D 0 and therefore I./ 2 MT . (iii) The mapping I W Rca.BT / ! MT , which associates to every , I./, is well defined and is injective. Now, let us show that I is a surjection of Rca.BT / on MT . If 2 MT , then 2 Rca.BX / and j j .X n i.T // D 0. Let W BT !

Hence j j.A 4 C / D 0; as j .A/ .C /j j j.A 4 C /, .A/ D .C /. Firstly, we will show that is a measure on BT and that I./ D . It is obvious that .;/ D .;/SD 0. Let .Bn /n2N BT be a pairwise disjoint sequence of such that, sets and let B D 1 1 Bn 2 BT ; then, by (i), there exists .An /n BXS 0 1 0 Bn D i .An /, for every n 2 N. We note A1 D A1 and An D An n n1 kD1 Ak , for every n 2; we obtain recursively that, for every n 2 N, Bn D i 1 .A0n /, whereS .A0n /n BX is a pairwise disjoint sequence of S Ssets. Therefore, P1 we 0have 1 1 0 / D i 1 . 1 A0 / and .B/ D . 1 A0 / D i .A B D n n n 1 1 1 .An / D P1 1 1 .Bn /. So is a measure on BT and .T / D .X/. For every B 2 BT , there exists A 2 BX such that B D i 1 .A/; because A n i.B/ X n i.T /, we have j j .A n i.B// j j .X n i.T // D 0. Therefore i.B/ is –measurable and there exist C 2 BX and N X such that j j .N / D 0, C \ N D ; and i.B/ D C [ N i.T /. We have then j j .A n C / j j .A n i.B// C j j .N / D 0 and so .A/ D .C /: Since 2 Rca.BX /, for every " > 0, there exists K 2 KX ; K C such that j j.K/ > j j.C / ". Then jj.B/ D j j.A/ D j .C /j < j j.K/ C ". As i is a homeomorphism of T on i.T / X and as K i.T /, H D i 1 .K/ 2 KT . Then H D i 1 .K/ B and j j.K/ D jj.H /.

Moreover, I.j /.X/ D j .T / ! .T / D I./.X/ and, still according to Theorem 2.53, .I.j //j 2J is narrowly convergent to I./ in MTC . Therefore, I is a continuous mapping. We have to show yet that I 1 is continuous. Let . j /i 2J MTC be a net narrowly convergent to 2 MTC ; for every D 2 T , there exists G 2 X such that D D i 1 .G/. Therefore I 1 . /.D/ D .G/ lim infj j .G/ D lim infj I 1 . j /.D/. According to (ii) of Theorem 2.53, .I 1 . j //j is narrowly convergent to I 1 . / in RcaC .BT / and, therefore, I is a homeomorphism of RcaC .BT / on MTC . In the rest of this section, we present several properties that can be transferred from .T; / towards .RcaC .BT /; T/. Theorem 2.58 (Proposition 10 and corollaries 1 and 2, §5, in [32]). a) If .T; / is a Polish space, then .RcaC .BT /; T/ is also Polish. b) If .T; / is a metrizable second-countable space, then .RcaC .BT /; T/ is also metrizable and second-countable. c) If .T; / is a Suslin space, then .RcaC .BT /; T/ is also Suslin space. Proof. (a) (i) We first assume that .T; / is a metrizable compact space. By (v) of Remark 2.32 and according to Theorem 2.4, we obtain: ca.BT / D rca.BT / D Rca.BT / D ŒC.T / and then T D .Rca.BT /; C.T // is the weak* topology on Rca.BT /. Still according to (v) of Remark 2.32, the closed unit ball rca1 .BT / of Rca.BT / is, therefore, T–compact. As T is metrizable compact, it is separable and so the closed unit ball rca1 .BT / provided with the weak* topology T is metrizable; hence .rca1 .BT /; T/ is a metrizable compact space. According to Proposition 2.48, RcaC .BT / D rcaC .BT / is a T–closed subset of rca.BT /; then rca1C .BT / D ¹ 2 RcaC .BT / W .T / 1º is also a metrizable compact space and then a Polish one. Let 1 be the constant function equal to 1 on T ; the mapping I1 W rca1C .BT / ! R, defined by: I1 ./ D .1/ D .T /, is T–continuous and, therefore, M D ¹ 2 rca1C .BT / W .T / < 1º D I11 . 1; 1Œ / is an open subset of .rca1C .BT /; T/.

From (iii) of Theorem 2.18 it results that M is a T–Polish space. 1 ; is a homeFinally, the application ' W RcaC .BT / ! M; './ D 1C.T / C omorphism and so, following (i) of Theorem 2.18, Rca .BT / is Polish. (ii) Let now .T; / be an arbitrary Polish space; according to Theorem 2.19, T is homeomorphic to a Gı set P H D Œ0; 1N . T Therefore there exist the H –open sets ¹Gn W n 2 Nº; such that P D 1 nD0 Gn . According to (i), rcaC .BH / D RcaC .BH / is a Polish space. For every n 2 N and every p 2 N , let us note Dnp D ¹ 2 rcaC .BH / W .H n Gn / < 1 p º. As Gn is open in H , H nG is a bounded l.s.c. function; then, by (ii) of n

is T–u.s.c. on rcaC .BH /.
. 1; p1 Œ /, Dnp is T–open in rcaC .BH /, for every
n 2 N and every p 2T N . T1 1 Then A D nD0 pD1 Dnp is a Gı subset of Polish space rcaC .BH /. By (ii) and (iii) of Theorem 2.18, A is Polish space. We remark that A D ¹ 2 rcaC .BH / W .H nP / D 0º (the set of all measures concentrated on P ). According to Proposition 2.57, RcaC .BP / is homeomorphic to A, therefore RcaC .BP / is Polish. As T is homeomorphic to P , RcaC .BT / is homeomorphic to RcaC .BP / and RcaC .BP / is also a Polish space. (b) Let .T; / be a metrizable second-countable space and let d be a metric on T compatible with (i.e. d D ). Let .TO ; dO / be a completion of the metric space .T; d /; then .TO ; dO / is a Polish space and, by a), RcaC .BTO / is also Polish. According to Proposition 2.57, RcaC .BT / is homeomorphic to MTC D ¹ 2 RcaC .BTO / W .TO n T / D 0º: As MTC is a subspace of RcaC .BTO /, MTC is a metrizable separable space and then RcaC .BT / is also separable and metrizable. (c) Let .T; / be a Suslin space, let P be a Polish space and let f W P ! T be a continuous surjection on T . Just as in Remark 2.30, let fN W RcaC .BP / ! RcaC .BT / be the mapping defined by fN./ W BT E ! RC ; fN./.A/ D .f 1 .A//. Then, for every net .i /i 2I RcaC .BP / with i ! 2 RcaC .BP / and every D 2 T ; f 1 .D/ 2 P and so .f 1 .D// lim inf i i .f 1 .D//, from where fN.i / ! fN./. Therefore fN is continuous on RcaC .BP /. RcaC .BP / is Polish and, according to Remark 2.30, fN is a surjection; then RcaC .BT / is a Suslin space. Corollary 2.59. If T is a Suslin space and if H RcaC .BT / is T– compact, then H is sequentially T–compact. Proof. According to (c) of Theorem 2.58, .RcaC .BT /; T/ is a Suslin space; the result is an immediately consequence of Corollary 2.26.

Chapter 2 Bounded Measures on Topological Spaces
Remark 2.60. According to Proposition 2.38, the converse of b) of Theorem 2.58 is also true. Therefore we can present the following result: .T; / is a metrizable second-countable space if and only if .RcaC .B.T //; T/ is metrizable and second-countable.

Compactness Results
Definition 2.61 (Definition 2, §5, in [32]). Let T be a completely regular space and let H ca.BT /; H is tight if satisfies: (a) sup2H jj.T / < C1. (b) For every " > 0, there exists K" 2 KT such that jj.T n K" / ", for every, 2 H. A sequence .n /n ca.BT / is said be tight if ¹n W n 2 Nº is tight. Remark 2.62. .i/ This definition is coherently with Definition 2.1.6. .ii/ Let A T and H D ‰.A/, where ‰ is the application defined in Proposition 2.38; then H D ¹ıx W x 2 Aº RcaC .BT /. H is tight if and only if A is relatively compact in T . Proposition 2.63 (Exercise 10, §5, in [32]). Let H be a bounded subset of ca.BT /. H is tight if and only if there exists an inf-compact application ' W T ! Œ0; C1 such that Z 'd jj < C1: sup 2H

Proof. We recall that an application ' W T ! Œ0; C1 is inf-compact if, for every a 2 RC , the a-level set ' 1 .Œ0; a/ is a compact of T . Let H ca.BT / be a bounded set. If H is tight, then, according to condition b) of the previous definition, there exists an increasing sequence .Kn /n of compact P subsets of T such that, for every n 2 N, sup2H jj.T nKn / 21n .

Conversely, if we suppose application R that ' W T !

Proposition 2.64 (Proposition 11, §5, in [32]). If H ca.BT / is tight, then the T-closure of H , HN , is also tight. Proof. Let H be a tight set and let M D sup2H jj.T / < C1. For every T

For every " > 0, there exists K 2 KT such that jj.T nK/ < ", for every 2 H . The mapping T nK is l.s.c. and positive; therefore, according to the same Corollary 2.45, jj.T n K/ lim inf ji j.T n K/ ": i
Hence, for every 2 HN , jj.T n K/ < "; therefore HN is tight. We introduced the following notions in [78], Definition 3.7. Definition 2.65. For every bounded set H ca.BT /, we note t.H / D inf

t .H / 2 RC is called the modulus of narrow compactness of H . It is clear that H is tight if and only if t.H / D 0.

A set H ca.BT / is said relatively a-compact if every net .i /i 2I H has at least one subnet a–convergent to a measure 2 ca.BT /. Remark 2.67. In 1.91, we have introduced a notion of a-convergence for the sequences of integrable functions: 2 caC .BT / and a 0 being fixed, a net .fi /i 2I L1 ./ is said a–convergent to f 2 L1 ./ if ˇ ˇZ ˇ ˇ ˇ lim sup ˇ .fi f /dˇˇ a; for every A 2 BT : i 2I

There is, therefore, no inconvenience in using the same notion for the two convergences. Remark 2.68. .i/ .i /i 2I is 0–convergent to if and only if .i /i 2I is narrowly convergent to . Hence, a set H ca.BT / is relatively 0-compact if and only if H is relatively narrowly compact. .ii/ We can interpret inf¹a 0 W .i /i 2I is a convergentº as indicating the deficit of narrow convergence of the net .i /i . The following theorem generalizes the Prohorov’s theorem (see Theorem 3.8 of [78]). Theorem 2.69. Let T be a completely regular space, let H be a bounded subset of Rca.BT / and let t.H / be its modulus of narrow compactness; then H is relatively t .H /-compact. ˘ Proof. Let X be the Cech–Stone compactification of T , let i be a homeomorphic embedding of T in X (i.T / D X) and let I be the injection of Rca.BT / in rca.BX / D Rca.BX / associated to injection i (see Proposition 2.57). Then I is a isometric injection; moreover, for every R F 2 C.X/, fR D F ı i 2 Cb .T / and, for every 2 Rca.BT /, I./.F / D X F d.I.// D T f d D .f /. Since H Rca.BT / is bounded, I.H / is also bounded in rca.BX /. Therefore, the set I.H / is relatively weak* compact, which means that it is relatively T.X/-compact (see (v) of Remark 2.32).

Now, we obtain as corollary an important result of compactness—Prohorov’s theorem (see Theorem 1, §5, in [32] and Theorem 11.5.4 of [61]). Corollary 2.71 (Prohorov’s Theorem). If T is a completely regular space, then every tight of Rca.BT / is relatively T-compact. Proof. If H is tight, then H is bounded and t .H / D 0. From Corollaries 2.59 and 2.71, we obtain: Corollary 2.72. Let T be a Suslin space; every tight .n /n2N RcaC .BT / admits one subsequence .kn /n2N T–convergent to a measure 2 RcaC .BT /.

Section 2.4 Compactness Results
We can formulate a reciprocal of the Prohorov’s theorem in the case of locally compact spaces or of Polish spaces but, only for the positive measures (see Theorem 2, §5, in [32] ). Theorem 2.73. Let T be a locally compact space and let H RcaC .BT / be a relatively T.T /-compact set; then H is tight. Proof. The mapping 7! .T / is continuous on .RcaC .BT /; T.T //. Hence, since HN is T.T /-compact, sup2H .T / < C1. For every " > 0 and every 2 HN , there exists K 2 KT such that .T n K / < ". Now let U be a T.T /-open relatively compact neighborhood of K . Since T nU is u.s.c. and bounded, in the light of (ii) of Corollary 2.41, the mapping 7! .T n U / is T.T /-u.s.c. Therefore V D ¹ 2 HN W .T n U / < "º is T.T / HN -open and, as 2 V , V is a neighborhood T.T /-open of . ¹V W 2 HN º is a T.T /-open cover of the compact set HN ; then there exist N such that HN D [n Vi . 1 ; : : : ; n 2 HS i D1 Then K D niD1 UN i 2 KT and, for every 2 H , there exists i so that 2 Vi and so .T n Ui / < ". Then, we have .T n K/ < " which leads to the fact that H is tight. Theorem 2.74. Let T be a Polish space and let H RcaC .BT / be a relatively T.T /-compact set; then H is tight. Proof. Just as in the proof of the previous theorem, sup2H .T / < C1. As T is Polish, according to Theorem 2.19, T is homeomorphic to a Gı subset of Œ0; 1N . For every p 2 N, let Tp be an open subset of Œ0; 1N and let i W 1 T ! \pD0 Tp be a homeomorphism. For every p 2 N, let ip W T ! Tp be the application defined by ip .t/ D i.t /, for any t 2 T . Then, we define Ip W RcaC .BT / ! RcaC .BTp / by Ip ./.A/ D .ip1 .A//, for every 2 RcaC .BT / and every A 2 BTp . According to (v) of Proposition 2.57, Ip is continuous and Hp D Ip .HN / is a compact set in .RcaC .BTp /; T.Tp //. Since Tp is an open set in the compact space Œ0; 1N , Tp is locally compact. From Theorem 2.73 it results that Hp is tight. Therefore, for every p 2 N and every " > 0, there exists Cp 2 KTp KŒ0;1N such that .Tp n Cp /

As T is Polish, .RcaC .BT /; T/ is also Polish (see a) of Theorem 2.58). Then ¹n W n 2 Nº is narrowly compact and hence it is tight (see Theorem 2.74). Therefore M D sup n .T / < C1:

Lévy–Prohorov’s Metric
According to Theorem 2.58, if .T; / is a Polish space, then .RcaC .BT /; T/ is also Polish. In the following theorem, we present a complete metric compatible with the narrow topology on RcaC .BT / (see Exercise 8, §5, in [32]). Theorem 2.83. Let .T; / be a Polish space and let d be a metric on T compatible with . For every " > 0 and every F T let F " D ¹x 2 T W d.x; F / < "º be the open ball of radius " centred at F . Let L W RcaC .BT / RcaC .BT / ! RC be a mapping defined by: ² ³ .F / .F " / C " L.; / D inf " > 0 W ; for every F D F T : .F / .F " / C " Then L is a complete metric on RcaC .BT / that generates the narrow topology on RcaC .BT /. The metric L is called the Lévy–Prohorov metric. Proof. Firstly, we will show that L is a metric on RcaC .BT /. For every ; 2 RcaC .BT /, L.; / maxŒ.T /; .T / < C1 ( and are bounded measures); therefore L is real valued. If D , then, for every " > 0 and every F D FN , .F / .F " / C " and .F / .F " / C ", from where L.; / D 0. Conversely, if L.; / D 0, then there exists a decreasing sequence "n # 0 such that, for every n 2 N and every F D FN , .F / .F "n / C "n and .F / .F "n / C "n . Then the sequence "n "n .F "n /n is decreasing and F D \1 nD1 F . Therefore, .F / D limn .F / and " n .F / D limn .F /. We have then, for every F D FN , .F / D .F / what assures that D since and are regular measures. The equality L.; / D L. ; / is obvious. Let ; ; 2 RcaC .BT /; for every " > 0, there exist ı1 > 0 and ı2 > 0 such that ı1 < L.; / C ", ı2 < L.; / C " and, for every F D FN ; ² .F / .F ı1 / C ı1 ; (1) .F / .F ı1 / C ı1 : ²

Therefore, we have shown the equality of topologies: TL D T. In the rest of the proof, we will show directly that .RcaC .BT /; L/ is a Polish space.

Therefore, if .T; d / is a second-countable metric space, L remains a compatible metric for .RcaC .BT /; T/. We have noticed in Example 2.76, that a narrowly convergent sequence of measures on a Suslin space is not necessarily tight. As we will show in the following theorem, in the case of a metrizable space, every narrowly convergent sequence is tight. Theorem 2.85 (Le Cam, see [61], 11.5.3). Let .T; d / be a metric space, let T

Every n is tight; so it is concentrated on a - compact set Sn which is separable (Sn is a countable union of separable sets). Then S D [1 nD0 Sn is also separable. Since every bounded continuous function on S can be extended to a bounded continuous function on T , .n S /n2N remains narrowly convergent to S . Therefore, we can suppose that T is second-countable itself. According to (ii) of the previous remark, L.n ; / ! 0 and n .T / ! .T /.

Wiener Measure
In this section, we will present an important application of compactness theorem of Prohorov in the construction of the Wiener measure on C Œ0; 1. The presentation of Wiener measure represents a processing of Paragraphs 8 and 9 of Chapter 2 of Billingsley’s monograph [28]. Let C D C Œ0; 1 be the space of all real-valued continuous functions on Œ0; 1 equipped with norm of uniform convergence, noted k:k. If kk is the norm topology, then .C; kk / is a Polish space. Before establishing the existence of Wiener measure, we begin this section by studying the narrow convergence of measures on C in connection to the narrow convergence of the image of this measures on the finite dimensional subspaces. In the following, B is the -algebra of all Borel sets of C and, for every n 2 N , Bn indicates the -algebra of Borel sets of Rn . Definition 2.87. For every t1 ; t2 ; : : : ; tn 2 Œ0; 1 with t1 < t2 < tn , let t1 ;:::;tn W C ! Rn be the natural projection from C to Rn defined by: t1 ;:::;tn .x/ D .x.t1 /; : : : ; x.tn // ;

A set C C is said to be a cylinder set if there are t1 ; t2 ; : : : ; tn 2 Œ0; 1 with .H /.

C is an algebra that generates B. C is said the algebra of cylinder sets. Proof. Since every projection t1 ;:::;tn is continuous, t1 .H / 2 B, for every 1 ;:::;tn H 2 B therefore C B For every I; J 2 C, there exist n; m 2 N, 0 t1 < < tn 1, 0 s1 < .B/ and J D < sm 1 and B 2 Bn , C 2 Bm such that I D t1 1 ;:::;tn .C /.

Remark 2.91. In Theorem 2.90, the quality of being tight is essential and cannot be removed, as it is demonstrated in the following example: 8 0 t n1 ; < n t; Let xn W Œ0; 1 !

(i) Since 2 RcaC .B/, for every " > 0, there exists K 2 KC such that .C n K/ < ": By the Arzelà–Ascoli theorem, as K is compact in C, K is uniformly equicontinuous; therefore there exists ı0 20; 1 such that, for every s; t 2 Œ0; 1 with js tj < ı0 and for every x 2 K; jx.s/ x.t /j < ", which means that limı!0 wx .ı/ D 0, uniformly on K. (ii) and (iii) are immediate consequences of (i). According to Remark 2.93 (ii), we can see that w: .ı/ is uniformly continuous, for every ı > 0, hence ¹x 2 C W wx .ı/ "º is a closed subset of C, and, therefore, a Borel subset of C. Theorem 2.95.

(ii) According to (ii) of Remark 2.93, for every ı 2 .0; 1, w: .ı/ is an uniformly continuous function, hence ¹x 2 C W wx .ı/ "º is a closed subset of C and so a Borel subset.

(H)) Let us suppose that the sequence .n /n is tight. Then supn n .C/ < C1 and (1) is proved. By (b), for every > 0, there exists K 2 KC such that, for all n 2 N, n .C n K/ < . By Arzelà–Ascoli theorem, K is bounded and uniformly equicontinuous. Since K is bounded, there exists a > 0 such that, for every x 2 K, kxk0 a from where ¹x 2 C W jx.0/j > aº C n K and so, for every n 2 N, n .¹x 2 C W jx.0/j > aº/ < .

Therefore, the random variables 0 ; : : : ; n1 are independent and so is a Wiener measure. Remark 2.113. .i/ It results that, in order to study if one measure is a Wiener measure, we can replace conditions (i) and (ii) of Definition 2.110 with condition . / of Proposition 2.112. .ii/ If the measures ; W B ! Œ0; 1 on C verify . /, they coincide on C and, by Remark 2.89, D . Therefore, if there is a measure which satisfies conditions (i) and (ii) of Definition 2.110, this measure is unique. In other words, there is at least a Wiener measure on C. Now, we demonstrate the existence of such a measure. Theorem 2.114. There exists only one Wiener measure on C. Proof. Let .n /n2N be a independent sequence of random variables on .; A; P /, every one normally distributed N .0; 1/; let .Xn /n2N be the sequence of .A B/measurable mappings defined in 2.105. We recall that 1 nt Œnt Xn .!/.t/ D p SŒnt .!/ C p Œnt C1 .!/; n n where Sk .!/ D 1 .!/ C C k .!/ and S0 .!/ D 0. For each n 2 N, let Pn W B ! R be the image of P under the mapping Xn . We will identify the Wiener measure as the T-limit of .Pn /n2N . We have shown in Theorem 2.109 that .Pn /n2N is tight. Therefore, since C is Polish, and so completely regular, we can apply Prohorov’s theorem (see 2.71). Then the family ¹Pn W n 2 Nº is relatively T-compact. So every subsequence .Pn0 /n2N of .Pn /n2N admits at least a subsequence .Pn00 /n2N narrowly convergent to a measure 2 RcaC .B/. We only have to demonstrate that is the Wiener measure under research.

Chapter 3
Young Measures
In this last chapter, we will use the compactness results obtained in the two previous chapters in order to study the Young measures. On the one hand, the Young measures generalize the measurable functions. Even if they were introduced in order to obtain relaxed solutions for the variational problems, the Young measures represent an important tool for other branches of mathematical analysis. In the first paragraph, we start with the presentation of the preliminaries connected to the disintegration of measures as well as of the various families of integrands. In the second paragraph, we present the definitions and several characteristics of Young measures and we give some examples. We will study, in the third and fourth paragraphs, the stable topology on the Young measure spaces and the properties of its trace on the subspace of measurable functions. The two main results of the fourth paragraph point out that the trace of the stable topology on the subspace of measurable functions is the topology of convergence in measure and that this subspace is dense in the space of Young measures. In the fifth paragraph, we will present Prohorov’s theorem of compactness for the Young measures. The main element in this theorem is the condition of tightness; the simplicity of this condition represents the main attraction of the results of compactness in the Young measure spaces. In the first chapter, we have introduced the scalar version of the biting lemma; the sixth paragraph is dedicated to the study of the vector version of this lemma. By adding to the tightness condition that of boundedness, we can state the general result of compactness of Saadoune–Valadier. We will extend these two results of compactness (biting lemma and theorem of Saadoune–Valadier) to an unbounded set of measurable functions—the finite-tight sets. In the seventh paragraph, we will study the two types of products for the Young measures and will give the fiber product lemma. In the eighth paragraph, we will introduce, in the Euclidean case, the Jordan finite-tight sets. The main result of the paragraph states that a tight subset H W 1;1 .; Rm /, for which the set of its gradients rH is a Jordan finite-tight set,
176
Chapter 3 Young Measures
is relatively compact in measure. This result will offer excellent conditions of application of fiber product lemma in order to obtain of lower semicontinuity results for integral functionals. In the ninth paragraph, we will give several applications of Young measure theory in the study of strong compactness in Lp . In the last two sections of the book, we consider some aspects of relaxed variational calculus. Are studied the Young measures generated by sequences and particularly the gradient Young measures. We pay special attention to quasiconvexity and its various equivalent definitions. The quasiconvexity is essentially used in the Kinderlehrer–Pedregal’s characterization of gradient Young measures, but also in the study of lower semicontinuity of energy functional that appears in variational calculus. Finally, we present some results of existence of solutions in a relaxed variant of variational calculus. The theory of the Young measures is presented in the general frame of the regular Suslin spaces which allows us to included the special case of a separable Banach spaces equipped with the weak topology (see Example 2.17). To simplify the demonstrations, we will present some results in the particular case of Polish spaces or even of the Euclidean spaces, by mentioning, at the same time, the bibliography for the more general case.

The set of all bounded Carathéodory integrands on S is noted by C t hb . S /. The following proposition shows that we can see the Carathéodory integrands as functions measurable in the first variable and continuous in the second one. Proposition 3.8 ([42], Lemma III.14 and [45], Lemma 1.2.3). A mapping ‰ W S !

3.2.1
Young Measure Associated to a Probability
Definition 3.13. For every probability 2 PS , the product measure D ˝ is a Young measure whose disintegration is the constant mapping t D , for all t 2 . We say that is the Young measure associated to the probability . The mapping 7! is an injection of PS in Y.S /; identifying with , we allow to write: PS Y.S /.

More generally, let n 2 N , let ¹A1 ; : : : ; An º be an A-partition Pn of and let 1 ; : : : ; n 2 PS ; the mapping W ! PS , defined by t D i D1 i A .t /, is i a Young measure. Indeed, is an P A-simple function with values in PS ; therefore, for every B 2 BS ; t 7! t .B/ D niD1 i .B/ A .t /, is .ABŒ0;1 /-measurable. i According to Theorem 3.1, is a Young measure. is the disintegration of measure with respect to , where

In this case, we say that (as well as ), is a simple Young measure and we note by E.A; PS / the subset of all simple Young measures. We show in first part of the following theorem that, in the case where S is a metrizable Suslin space, we can approximate any Young measure by simple Young measures; the second part is a result of Lusin type. Theorem 3.14 ([77]). Let S be a metrizable Suslin space and let W ! PS . .i/ is a Young measure if and only if there exists a sequence of simple Young measures, . n /n2N , such that, for all t 2 , . tn /n2N is narrowly convergent to t . .ii/ Moreover, let be a topological space, let be a Radon measure on and let A be the -completed of -algebra B of Borel sets on ; then is a Young measure if and only if, for every compact K of and every " > 0, there exists a compact set L K such that .K n L/ < " and L is narrowly continuous. Proof. (i) According to b) of 2.58, .RcaC .BS /; T/ is a second-countable metrizable space and then .PS ; T/ is a second-countable metrizable subspace. Therefore W ! PS is a Young measure (i.e. a measurable mapping) if and only if there exists a sequence of simple mappings . n /n2N with values in PS such that . tn /n2N converges narrowly to t , for every t 2 . (ii) ()) Let W ! PS be a Young measure. PS is separable and metrizable space so that there exists an homeomorphic embedding W PS ! I N , where I D Œ0; 1. For every n 2 N, let n be the nth -projection of I N in I . Then, for every n 2 N, the mapping n ı ı W ! I is .A BŒ0;1 /-measurable. Since is a regular measure, for every compact set K , for every " > 0 and every n 2 N, there exists a compact subset Ln K such that .K n Ln / < 2"n and n ı ı is continuous on Ln .
191
Section 3.2 Definitions and Examples
T P1 The set L D 1 nD1 Ln K is compact and .KnL/ nD1 .KnLn / < ". For every n 2 N, n ı ı L is continuous and therefore, ı L is continuous; then L is continuous. (ii) (() is tight so that, for every n 2 N, there exists a compact set Kn such that .nKn / < n1 . We can choose the sequence .Kn /n2N to be increasing. Let Ln Kn be a compact set such that .Kn n Ln / < n1 and is narrowly continuous on Ln ; we can choose the sequence .Ln /n2N to be increasing, also. Let ² .t /; t 2 Ln ; n n ; W ! PS ; .t/ D ı0 ; t …Ln S where ı0 is the Dirac measure concentrated at 0 and let L D 1 nD1 Ln . n n For every n 2 N, is .AC/-measurable and .t / ! .t /, for every t 2 L; since . n L/ . n Ln / < n2 , for every n 2 N , n ! , -a.e. so that is measurable. Therefore, is a Young measure.
3.2.2
Young Measure Associated to a Measurable Mapping
The second important case of the Young measures is that of the measures which are associated to the measurable applications of in S . Let M.S / be the set of all .A BS /-measurable mappings; for every u 2 M.S / let u W ! PS ; u .t/ tu D ıu.t / , for every t 2 (ı: is again the u Dirac measure). For every B 2 BS , the mapping gB W ! Œ0; 1, defined by u u is .A BŒ0;1 /-measurable and so, according to (ii) of gB D : .B/ D 1 u .B/ Theorem 3.1, u is .A C/-measurable and then a Young measure. Definition 3.15. u is called the Young measure associated to the measurable application u. We will also say that a Young measure comes from an application if there is a measurable application u 2 M.S / such that D u . Remark 3.16. .i/ According to Remark 3.6, u is the disintegration of the Young measure u , where:
u .A B/ D .A \ u1 .B//;
for every A 2 A
and every B 2 BS :
According to (iv) of Remark 3.11, which specifies the integration with respect to a Young measure, for every positive integrand ‰ (or, for every

.ii/ The mapping u 7! u is an injection of the space M.S / in Y.S / (we identify the applications that coincide -a.e.); therefore, by identifying u with u , we can consider that M.S / Y.S /. .iii/ The identification of PS and M.S / as subsets of Y.S / leads to the identification of S as subset of Y.S / (x 2 S being identifies with ıx ). Indeed, for every x 2 S; ıx 2 PS and also ıx is the Young measure associated to constant mapping x 2 M.S /. Conversely, if 2 PS , then 2 M.S / Y.S / if we can find a mapping u 2 M.S / such that D u , from where ıu.t / D , for every t 2 . It means that u is a constant function x and so D ıx . So, according to this identification, we can consider that the Suslin space S is a subset of Y.S /. .iv/ If u W ! S is a measurable function and if u is the Young measure associated, then u ./ D ¹ıu.t / W t 2 º is a tight subset of PS if and only if u./ is relatively compact in S . Indeed, if u ./ is tight, then there exists a compact subset K 2 KS such that ıu.t / .S n K/ < 1, for every t 2 , which means that u./ D ¹u.t / W t 2 º K. Conversely, if K D u./ is compact in S then ıu.t / .S n K/ D 0 < ", for every " > 0 and every t 2 which means that u ./ is tight. We now establish two conditions assuring that a Young measure comes from a measurable application. Proposition 3.17. Let be a Young measure and let u 2 M.S /. If Gu is the graph of u, then Gu0 will denote its complement with respect to S . A necessary and sufficient condition so that D u is that .Gu0 / D 0 or, equivalent, .Gu / D ./. Proof. If fu W !

We will show that, for every t 2 , there exists x t 2 S such that t .¹x t º/ D supx2S t .¹xº/. Obviously, this is true if supx2S t .¹xº/ D 0. Let supx2S t .¹xº/ > 0: If the sup is not reached, then, for every y 2 S , there exists z 2 S such that t .¹yº/ < t .¹zº/. Then, we can define a sequence .xn /n2N S Psuch that the sequence . t .¹xn º//n2N to be positive, strictly increasing and 1 nD1 t .¹xn º/ D t .¹x1 ; : : : ; xn ; : : : º/ 1 what is impossible.

Theorem 3.58. Let S be a compact Suslin space; then .Y.S /; S/ is a compact space. Proof.

The mapping ‰ 7! '‰ is a bijection of C t hb . S / on the subset E of all bounded functions of L1 .; C.S //. Indeed, for every bounded function f 2 L1 .; C.S //, the mapping ‰ W S !

Then the application 7! f is an application of Y.S / in ŒL1 .; C.S // .

The mapping ˆ W Y.S / ! RcaC .BS /, defined by ˆ. / D . /, for every 2 Y.S /, is .S TS /-continuous (where TS is the narrow topology on RcaC .BS /). If H Y.S / is relatively S-compact, then ˆ.H / is relatively TS -compact in RcaC .BS / and so ˆ.H / is tight.

Theorem 3.60. Let S be a Polish space and let H Y.S / be a set satisfying the condition .T5 / of Theorem 3.51; then H is relatively stably compact. Proof.

Corollary 3.61. Let S be a Polish space; for every H Y.S /, the conditions .T1 / to .T6 / of Theorem 3.51 are equivalent. Proof. In accordance to Theorem 3.51, we have to prove that .T5 / H) .T1 /. Let H Y.S / be a set satisfying .T5 /; according to the previous theorem, H is relatively S-compact. Since every Polish space is a Prohorov one (see (i) of Remark 2.75), H is tight (see (b) of Theorem 3.59). In the following corollary, we will rewrite the equivalent conditions .T1 / to .T6 / of Theorem 3.51 for the particular case in which H M.S / Y.S /. Corollary 3.62. Let S be a Polish space and let H M.S / Y.S /; The following conditions are equivalent: .T1 / For every " > 0, there exists K 2 KS such that supu2H .u1 .S n K// < ". .T2 / There exists R an inf-compact mapping ' W S !

Remark 3.63. .i/ Just as in the special case of the Prohorov theorem, we have: If S is a Polish space, then H Y.S / is relatively S-compact if and only if H satisfies to one of equivalent conditions .T1 /–.T6 /. .ii/ The fact that any uniformly integrable subset of L1 .; Rd / is relatively weakly compact in .L1 .; Rd /; k k1 / (see Dunford–Pettis’ Theorem 1.65 and Theorem 1.84) is now a consequence of the Prohorov theorem. Indeed, if H is an uniformly integrable subset of L1 .; Rd /, then H is bounded and, according to Proposition 3.56, H is tight. The Prohorov’s theorem 3.59 assures us that H is relatively stably compact. Then every net .ui /i 2I H admits a subnet .uij /j 2J S-convergent to a Young measure 2 Y.Rd /. Since .uij /j 2J is uniformly integrable and

, .uij /j 2J
is weakly
convergent to u 2 L1 .; Rd /, where u.t / D Rd xd t .x/, for every t 2 (see 3.37); therefore H is relatively weakly compact in .L1 .; Rd /; k k1 /. We will now give two sequentially compactness results on .Y.S /; S/. Their demonstration is inspired by those of Lemma 4.4.1 and of Proposition 4.5.2 of [45]. Theorem 3.64. Let S be a regular Suslin space. If H Y.S / is tight, then it is sequentially S-compact. Proof. (1) Firstly, let us assume that S is a metrizable Suslin space. According to Theorem 2.58, RcaC .BS / and PS are metrizable and second-countable. Then the Borel -algebra C of PS is countably generated. Let . n /n2N be a sequence of Young measures in H ; for every n 2 N; :n W .; A/ ! .PS ; C/ is then a measurable mapping. The smallest -algebra on

for which all applications :n are measurable, A0 , is then countably generated, also; obviously, A0 A. Let 0 be the restriction of to A0 and let Y0 .S / be the space of Young measures on .; A0 ; 0 /, therefore the space of all .A0 C/measurable applications : W ! PS or the space of measures W A0 ˝ BS ! RC for which .A S / D 0 .A/; for every A 2 A0 . We can notice that 0 is not, generally, a complete measure on A0 . Let S0 be the stable topology on Y0 .S /; Y0 .S / Y.S / and S0 SY0 .S / . Let ˆ W Y.S / ! Y0 .S / be the mapping defined by ˆ. / D A0 ˝BS , for every 2 Y.S /; then ˆ is a surjection .S S0 /-continuous. Since H Y.S / is tight, it is relatively S-compact (Theorem 3.59) and then ˆ.H / is relatively S0 -compact. According to Proposition 3.25, .Y0 .S /; S0 / is metrizable, therefore ˆ.H / is sequentially compact. Let now . kn /n2N be a subsequence of . n /n2N and let 2 Y0 .S / Y.S / S0

Then .S; d / is a metrizable Suslin space and, as we proved in Theorem 3.59, the stable topology Sd on Y.S; d / is less fine than the stable topology S on Y.S; /. Let H Y.S / be -tight. The closure H of H in the space .Y.S /; S/ is Scompact and then SH D Sd H . But, according to the first part of proof, H is sequentially Sd -compact and then it is sequentially S-compact. The following proposition gives a reciprocal of this property. Proposition 3.65. Let S be a Polish space. If H Y.S / is a sequentially Scompact set, then it is tight.

Proof. The mapping ˆ W Y.S / ! RcaC .BS /, defined by ˆ. / D . /, for every 2 Y.S /, is .S TS /-continuous. Then ˆ.H / is sequentially TS compact in RcaC .BS /. Since .RcaC .BS /; TS / is metrizable (Theorem 2.58), ˆ.H / is relatively compact and, according to Theorem 2.74, ˆ.H / is tight; then H is tight. We will conclude this paragraph by giving two convergence results on M.S /. Theorem 3.66.

Therefore, from (1) we obtain 3 of the theorem.

Generally, the bounded sets of L1 .; E/ are not tight (see 3.57). If we add to the condition of “boundedness” that of “tightness”, then we can give a general result of convergence (for the Euclidean case, see Theorem 9 of [169]). Theorem 3.70. Let E be a separable and reflexive normed space and let .un /n be a bounded tight sequence in L1 .; E/; then we can find a subsequence .ukn /n , a Young measure 2 Y.E/ and a decreasing sequence of sets .Bp /p A with .Bp / # 0 such that: SE

The following result is a consequence of (5) of Theorem 3.70. Theorem 3.74 ([105]-T.2.7.). Let .un / L1 .; I R/ be a bounded sequence and let u 2 L1 .; ; R/ such that lim supn kun uk1 ..un //. Then there
exists a subsequence .ukn /n such that ukn ! u and ..un // D limn kukn uk1 . Now we extend the compactness results presented for some non-bounded sets of measurable functions—the finite-tight sets. A finite-tight set localizes the great growths of a set of measurable functions on a finite family of sets of small measure. More precisely, we will give the following definition: Definition 3.75 ([81]). A subset H M.E/ is said finite-tight set if, for every " > 0, there exist a compact K 2 KE and a finite subfamily Af A with .A/ < ", for every A 2 Af , such that, for every u 2 H , there exists Au 2 Af with u1 .E n K/ Au . A sequence .un /n2N M.E/ is a finite-tight sequence if the set H D ¹un W n 2 Nº is a finite-tight set. Proposition 3.76. Let W 2 ! RC be the outer measure generated by (for every A ; .A/ D inf¹.C / W C 2 A; A C º). H M.E/ is a finite-tight set if and only if, for every " > 0, there exist a compact K 2 KE S and a finite cover of H , ¹H1 ; : : : ; Hp º, such that, for every i 2 ¹1; : : : ; pº, . u2Hi u1 .E n K// < ". In the case where H is countable, we can use the measure instead of . Proof. Let H M.E/ be a finite-tight set; for every " > 0 there exist K 2 KE and a finite subfamily Af D ¹A1 ; : : : ; Ap º A with .Ai / < ", for every i D 1; : : : ; p, such that, for any u 2 H , there exists Au 2 Af with u1 .E nK/ Au . For every i D 1; : : : ; p, let Hi D ¹u 2 H W u1 .E n K/ Ai º; then ¹H1 ; : : : ; Hp º is the required cover of H . Conversely, let K 2 KE and let ¹H1 ; : : : ; Hp º be a finite cover of H such that, for every i D 1; : : : ; p; .[u2Hi u1 .E n K// < ". Then, for every i, there

Remark 3.77. .i/ If E is a Euclidean space then H M.E/ is a finite-tight set if and only if, for every " > 0, there exist k > 0 and a finite subfamily Af A with .A/ < ", for every A 2 Af , such that, for every u 2 H , there exists Au 2 Af with ¹t 2 W ku.t /k > kº Au . Obviously, a bounded sequence in .L1 .; E/; k k1 / is a finite-tight sequence. .ii/ According to Definition 3.75, for every u 2 H; .u1 .E n K// < "; thus any finite-tight set is a tight set. The following example shows that the reciprocal is not valid. P1 an;p 2p1 be the binary form of the natural Example 3.78. Let n D pD1 number n; thus, for every p 2 N ; an;p 2 ¹0; 1º and there exists ln 2 N with an;ln D 1 and an;p D 0, for all p > ln . For all n; p 2 N , we note kn;p D an;p C an;pC1 2 C C an;2p1 2p1 I and, for every p > ln ; kn;p D 0. then 0 kn;p 2p 1; kn;ln D an;ln D 1P 1 For any n 2 N, let un W0; 1Œ! R; un D pD1 p kn;p kn;p C1 :

Proof. (i) For every u 2 M.E/, ıu1 W BE ! RC , defined by .ıu1 /.C / D .u1 .C //, for every C 2 BE , is a -additive measure; since E is a Polish space, ı u1 is a Radon measure and then, for every " > 0, there exists K 2 KE such that .u1 .E n K// < ". Therefore, every finite set H M.E/ is finite-tight. (ii) Let H be a tight set satisfying condition .S /; for every " > 0, there exists K 2 KE such that .u1 n .E n K// < ", for all n 2 N; obviously, we can suppose that K K0 . Let us note, for every n 2 N, An D u1 n .E Pn1K/. According to condition .S /, there is p 2 N such that nDp .An / < ". Therefore, the family Af D ¹A0 ; A1 ; : : : ; Ap1 ; [1 nDp An º satisfies the conditions of Definition 3.75. If H satisfies the condition .M /, then the family Af D ¹A0 ; A1 ; : : : ; AnK º satisfies also the conditions of 3.75. In the following examples, we will show that conditions .S / and .M / of the previous proposition are not necessary. Example 3.81. (1) Let D Œ0; 1 and let A1 D 13 ; 23 Œ, A2 D 312 ; 322 Œ[ 372 ; 382 Œ, A3 D 313 ; 2 Œ[ 373 ; 383 Œ[ 19 ; 20 Œ[ 25 ; 26 Œ be the sets extracted from the interval 33 33 33 33 33 Œ0; 1 to obtain the Cantor set; we recall that An is an union of 2n1 intervals of length 31n every one. Since .An / ! 0, the set H D ¹un D 3n A W n 2 n N º M.R/ is a tight set. We note that H is not bounded in L1 .Œ0; 1; R/. P P1 1 n 2 KR ; then 1 Let K0 D Œ1; nD1 .un .R n K0 // D nD1 .j3 P1 1
An j > 1/ D nD1 .An / D 1 < C1 and, according to condition .S / of previous proposition, H is finite-tight. However, H does not satisfy condition .M / of (ii). In fact, for K D Œ1; 1 and for all n 2 N ; u1 n .R n K/ D An , even though the sets An are pairwise disjoint. (2) For every n 2 N , let un W Œ0; 1 ! R; un D n2

Then, for every n nK , ² Œ0; n1 ; 0 2 K .R n K/ D I u1 n Œ0; 1; 0 … K therefore .u1 n .R n K//nnK is a decreasing sequence of sets, so that H satisfies the condition .M / and then H is finite-tight.

In this case we note un ! u. If .un /n2N is w 2 -convergent to u, then every subsequence of .un /n2N is w 2 convergent to u. Remark 3.83. This definition slightly extends Definition 1.95 in which u 2 L1 .; E/ and un 2 L1 .; E/, for every n 2 N. The following result is an alternative of the biting lemma (Theorem 3.68) for the finite-tight sets. Theorem 3.84 (Theorem 2.10 of [81]). Let E be a separable Banach space such that E and its dual space E have the Radon–Nikodym property (particularly, let E be a reflexive normed space) and let .un /n2N M.E/ be a finite-tight sequence; then there exist a subsequence .ukn /n2N and a measurable mapping w2
u 2 M.E/ such that ukn ! u. Proof. (I) Since .un /n is finite-tight, for every " > 0, there exist K 2 KE and a finite subfamily Af of A with .A/ < ", for every A 2 Af , such that, for every n 2 N, there exists An 2 Af with u1 n .E n K/ An . Then, there exist a set A 2 Af and an infinite subset N N such that u1 n .E nK/ A; for any n 2 N . Therefore, for every " > 0, there exist K 2 KE ; A 2 A with .A/ < " and an infinite subset N N, such that u1 n .E n K/ A, for every n 2 N . For " D 1 let K1 2 KE ; B1 2 A with .B1 / < 1 and let N1 be an infinite subset of N such that u1 n .E n K1 / B1 , for every n 2 N1 . For " D 12 let K2 2 KE ; B2 2 A with .B2 / 12 and let N2 be an infinite subset of N1 such that u1 n .E n K2 / B2 , for every n 2 N2 ; obviously, we can choose K2 K1 and B2 B1 .

In conclusion, the property of being Jordan finite-tight can be seen as a property of the sets of measurable functions and not as a property of the sets of classes of functions equal almost everywhere. We will now present a sufficient condition that a set may be Jordan finite-tight. Proposition 3.96.

Indeed, if H D ¹uº W . 0; 1Œ; R/, where u D nD0 n ¹q º is the function of Remark 3.95(ii), then H is tight and n rH D ¹0º is Jordan finite-tight but H is not a Jordan finite-tight set. .iii/ In the previous proposition, the condition of being tight for H is a necessary condition.

Let Rd be a bounded open convex set, let p 1 and let H be a tight subset of W 1;p .; Rm / such that rH is a Jordan finite-tight set; if either p > d or d D 1 is fulfilled, then H is relatively compact in measure. Proof. In both cases, p > d or d D 1, for every u 2 H , there exists uN 2 W 1;p .; Rm / \ C.; Rm / such that u D uN almost everywhere. Then HN D ¹uN W u 2 H º W 1;1 .; Rm / \ C.; Rm / is a tight set for which there exists a Jordan finite-tight gradient r HN D rH . Consequently, HN , and then H , is relatively compact in measure.

Remark 3.104. Let Rd be a bounded open convex set and let H W 1;1 .; Rm / \ C.; Rm / be tight such that rH .L1 .; Rm /; k k1 / is bounded. According to (iii) of Remark 3.95, for every sequence .un /n H , there exists .vn /n L1 .; Rm / such that, for every n 2 N, run D vn almost everywhere and ¹vn W n 2 Nº is a Jordan finite-tight set. Then, according to previous theorem, H is relatively compact in measure. But, in this case, we can obtain a stronger result. Following the Arzelà–Ascoli theorem, H is relatively compact in the topology of uniform convergence on C.; Rm /. In fact, H is uniformly Lipschitz and therefore it is uniformly bounded and uniformly equicontinuous. Under some relaxed conditions, we can obtain an alternative of the Rellich– Kondrachov theorem (see Theorem 12.12 in [50]). Corollary 3.105. Let Rd be a bounded open convex set and let .un /n2N W 1;1 .; Rm / \ C.; Rm / be a uniformly integrable sequence with the sequence of gradients, .run /n2N , Jordan finite-tight; then, up to a subsequence, .un /n2N converges in L1 .; Rm /. Proof. .un /n being uniformly integrable it is bounded in L1 .; Rm / and so .un /n2N is a tight sequence for which .run /n2N is a Jordan finite-tight sequence. Therefore .un /n2N has a subsequence .ukn /n2N convergent in measure to an application u. Since .un /n2N is uniformly integrable, u 2 L1 .; Rm / and L1

Let Rd be a bounded open convex set and let H W 1;1 .; Rm / \ C.; Rm / be a tight set such that rH is a Jordan finite-tight set; then, for every sequence .un /n M.Rm /, there exist a subsequence .ukn /n of .un /n , a mapping u 2 M.Rm / and a Young measure : 2 Y.Rmd / such that: .i/ .ukn /n is convergent in measure to u, S

Strong Compactness in Lp .; E /
In this paragraph, we will use the tool which is offered by the Young measures in order to study the strongly compact sets in L1 . Two main results are the Visintin–Balder theorem and the Rossi–Savaré theorem which may have, as corollaries, the Lions–Aubin and Gutman theorems.
3.9.1
Visintin–Balder’s Theorem
This theorem presents the sufficient conditions in which weak convergence leads to strong convergence. A first condition was given by Visintin in [171] without using Young measures. In [11], E. Balder demonstrated the same result in a more general hypothesis. In [169], we can find a detailed presentation of these results. Firstly, let us recall some definitions. Let A Rd ; the closed convex hull of A—noted co A—is the intersection of all closed convex sets containing A. Let C Rd be a convex set. We say that a point x 2 C is an extremal point of C if .x D .1 /y C z with 20; 1Œ and y; z 2 C / H) .y D z D x/: Finally, let usTrecall that, for every sequence .un /n M.Rd / and every t 2 , 1 Lsn ¹un .t/º D pD1 ¹uk .t/ W k pº (the Kuratowski upper limit). Proposition 3.107 (Proposition C of [5]). If the sequence .un /n is weakly convergent in L1 .; Rd / to u 2 L1 .; Rd /, then u.t / 2 co .Lsn ¹un .t/º/ ;
for almost every t 2 :

Chapter 3 Young Measures
Proof. Since .un /n is weakly convergent, according to Dunford–Pettis theorem (Theorem 1.65), the set ¹un W n 2 Nº is bounded in L1 .; Rd / and, according to Proposition 3.56, it is tight. By Theorem 3.64, there exists a subsequence .ukn /n of .un /n S-convergent to a Young measure 2 Y.Rd /; let ¹ t W t 2 º be Rthe disintegration of . According to Proposition 3.37, for every t 2 ; u.t / D Rd xd t .x/. Let now the mapping idRd W Rd ! Rd ; idRd .x/ D x, for every x 2 Rd ; then, for every t 2 , u.t / 2 co .idRd .supp t // D co .supp t /. The result follows from Proposition 3.43: supp t Lsn ¹ukn .t/º Lsn ¹un .t/º;
almost for every t 2 :
Remark 3.108. Let .un /n L1 .; Rd / and u 2 L1 .; Rd /. According to Proposition 3.43, if .un /n is stably convergent to 2 Y.Rd /, then, almost for every t 2 , supp t Ls¹un .t/º and, according to previous theorem, if .un /n is weakly convergent to u, u.t / 2 co Lsn ¹un .t /º, almost for every t 2 . Generally, u.t / … Lsn ¹un .t/º. Indeed, in Example 3.44, we have shown that the Rademacher’s sequence .rn /n L1 .Œ0; 1; R/ is stably convergent to D ˝ . 12 .ı1 C ı1 // and weakly convergent to 0. For every t 2 Œ0; 1; 0 … Lsn ¹rn .t/º D ¹1; 1º, but 0 2 co.Lsn ¹rn .t/º/ D Œ1; 1. Lemma 3.109 (Lemma 6.20 of [15]). Let E be a separable Banach space and let R 2 PE ( is a probability on E) such that there exists x0 D bar D E xd .x/ 2 co .supp / E. If x0 is an extremal point of co .supp /, then D ıx0 ( is the Dirac measure— the unit mass concentrated in x0 ). Proof. Let B be a closed convex subset of E such that x0 … B; then supp ª B and therefore .B/ < 1. If we suppose that .B/ > 0, we can define 1 ; 2 2 PE letting 1 .A/ D
1 1 .A \ B/ and 2 .A/ D .A n B/; for every A 2 BE : .B/ 1 .B/
Then D .B/ 1 C Œ1 .B/ 2 and therefore Z xd D .B/ bar 1 C Œ1 .B/ bar 2 : x0 D E
Since bar 1 2 co .supp 1 / co .supp /, bar 2 2 co .supp 2 / co .supp / and x0 is an extremal point of co .supp / it results that x0 D bar 1 D bar 2 . Then x0 2 co.supp 1 / co.B/ D B, who contradicts the hypothesis.

Therefore, for every closed convex set B E for which x0 … B, .B/ S D 0. Let S E be an open ball of radius r centered at x; then S D n> 1 Bn , r
where, for all n 2 N , Bn is the closed ball of radius r n1 centered at x. If x0 … S; x0 … Bn , for every n > 1r , therefore .Bn / D 0 and then .S / D 0. Since every open subset D of E is a countable union of open balls, we have .D/ D 0, for every open set D for which x0 … D. It follows that .En¹x0 º/ D 0 and then D ıx0 . We can now give the Visintin–Balder theorem. Theorem 3.110 (Theorem 10 of [169]). Let .un /n L1 .; Rd / be a sequence weakly convergent to u 2 L1 .; Rd / and let Ecc be the family of all closed convex subsets of Rd . Let us consider the following conditions: (V) There exists a set-valued mapping W ! Ecc such that, for every n 2 N and almost for every t 2 , un .t/ 2 .t / and u.t / 2 .t / is an extremal point of .t/. (B) u.t/ is an extremal point of co.Lsn ¹un .t /º/, almost for every t 2 .

According to Proposition 3.37, u.t / D bar t D Rd xd t .x/, for every t 2 . According to Proposition 3.43, supp t Lsn ¹u00n .t /º. In accordance with hypothesis (B), almost for every t 2 , u.t / D bar t is an extremal point of co .Lsn ¹un .t/º and, since bar t 2 co .supp t / co .Lsn ¹u00n .t /º/ co .Lsn ¹un .t /º/;

Chapter 3 Young Measures
bar t is an extremal point of co .supp t /, almost for every t 2 . From Lemma 3.109 it follows that t D ıu.t / , almost for every t 2 ; therefore D u is the Young measure associated to the mapping u 2 L1 .; Rd / and, according to Proposition 3.40, .u00n /n is convergent in measure to u. According to Vitali theorem (Theorem 1.54), .u00n /n is strongly convergent to u. Therefore, every subsequence .u0n /n of .un /n has a subsequence .u00n /n strongly kk1
convergent to u; then un ! u.

A sequence .un /n M.E/ is convergent in measure to u 2 M.E/ if .¹t 2 0; T Œ W kun .t/ u.t /kE "º/ ! 0, for every " > 0; the convergence in measure
of the sequence .un /n to u with respect to is noted by un ! u. We introduce an important condition in the study of the strong convergence in p L .; E/—the strong concentration condition. Definition 3.112. A set U Lp .; E/ satisfies to the strong concentration condition if Z T h p ku.t C h/ u.t /kE dt D 0: (CF) lim sup h#0 u2U
0
In the Euclidean case, this condition is used in order to characterize the strong compactness in Lp .; E/ (see Theorem IV.26 of [36]): Theorem 3.113 (Riesz–Fréchet–Kolmogorov theorem). Let 1 p < C1 and let U Lp .; Rm / be a bounded set; U is relatively strongly compact in Lp .; Rm / if and only if U satisfies to the strong concentration condition. If U W 1;p .; Rm /, then a sufficient condition for (CF) is that rU to be bounded in L1 .; Rm /; we obtain the following corollary: Corollary 3.114. Let U W 1;p .; Rm / be a bounded set in W 1;p ; if rU D ¹ru W u 2 U º is bounded in L1 .; Rm /, then U is relatively strongly compact in Lp .; Rm /. Remark 3.115. In the infinite dimensional case, the condition (CF) is not sufficient for the strong compactness. Indeed, let E D CŒ0;1 be the space of all real-valued continuous functions on Œ0; 1 provided with the norm of uniform convergence and let, for every n 2 N, fn W 0; 1Œ ! R; fn .x/ D x n . For every n 2 N, let un W 0; T Œ ! CŒ0;1 be the constant mapping un .t / D fn , for every t 2 0; T Œ and let U D ¹un W n 2 Nº. For every n 2 N, kun k1 D inf¹c > 0 W kun .t/kE c;

and then U L1 .; CŒ0;1 / L1 .; CŒ0;1 /. Obviously, U satisfies to condition (CF) but U is not relatively strongly comRT pact in L1 .; CŒ0;1 / because kun um k1 D 0 kun .t / um .t /kCŒ0;1 dt D RT m m nm nm ! 1 and then .un /n does not 0 kfn fm kCŒ0;1 dt D T . n / n n!1 have strongly convergent subsequences.

In the infinite dimensional case, in order to obtain the strong compacity, we need to add to the strong concentration condition the condition of being tight. We have already noticed in 3.57 that the set U defined above is not tight. Definition 3.116. A set U Lp .; E/ is called p-uniformly integrable if Z p kukE dt D 0: (p-UI) lim sup a!C1 u2U

I.4.10 of [173]), every p-equicontinuous set is bounded in Lp .; E/ and then Up is bounded in L1 ./. According to Theorem 1.84, U Lp .; E/ is p-uniformly integrable if and only if it is p-equicontinuous. .iii/ Every p-uniformly integrable set U Lp .; E/ is bounded in Lp . Indeed, if U is p-uniformly integrable, there exists a > 0 such that Z 1 p kukE dt < 1I then sup kukp < .1 C ap T / p : sup u2U

Since, for every " > 0; .kun ukE "/ "1p kun ukp ; .un /n is convergent in measure to u. Let us show that the set ¹un W n 2 Nº is a p-equicontinuous set.

Reciprocally, let us suppose that conditions (i) and (ii) are satisfied. p p For every n 2 N, let vn D kun kE 2 L1 ./ and let v D kukE 2 M.R/.

We have noted in (iii) of Remark 3.117 that each p-uniformly integrable set is bounded in Lp .; E/. Reciprocally, a bounded set that satisfies to the strong concentration condition is p-uniformly integrable. Proposition 3.120. Let U be a bounded subset of Lp .; E/ which satisfies to the strong concentration condition; then U is p-uniformly integrable. Proof.

then V D ¹kukE W u 2 U º satisfies to the strong concentration condition in Lp ./. Since V is bounded in Lp ./, according to Theorem 3.113, V is relatively strongly compact in Lp ./. According to Corollary 3.119, V and then U are p-uniformly integrable. Since the strong concentration condition assures the condition .p UI /, in order to obtain the strongly compactness of a set, it is sufficient, according to Corollary 3.119, to characterize the compactness in measure.

For the following results, we will follow the line of reasoning of [144]. Firstly, we need two preliminary lemmas. Lemma 3.121. Let 0 < S < T; 1 D 0; S Œ 0; T ŒD and A1 D A1 . For every Polish space P and every Young measure . t / t 2 on P , let 1 . t / t 2 1 2 Y.1 P /. For every h 2 0; T S Œ, the mapping h W 1 !

In addition, h ! 1 , where S1 is the stable topology on Y.1 P /. h!0
Proof. Firstly, let us remark that, for every C 2 BP , the mapping t 7! th .C / is .A1 BP /-measurable. Indeed, for all B 2 BR , Œ:h .C /1 .B/ D h C Œ: .C /1 .B/ 2 A1 and then, according to Theorem 3.1, :h is .A1 C/-measurable. Therefore, for every h 2 0; T S Œ, :h is the disintegration of a Young measure h 2 Y.1 P /.

Lemma 3.122. Let P be a Polish space, let 2 Y. P / and let e W P P ! Œ0; C1 be a l.s.c. application which vanishes only on the diagonal of P , P D ¹.x; x/ W x 2 P º. The mapping ‰ W 0; T Œ P ! Œ0; C1 defined by Z ‰.t; x/ D e.x; y/d t .y/; for every .t; x/ 2 0; T Œ P; P
is a positive l.s.c. integrand. Proof. Firstly, let us suppose that e is continuous and bounded on P P ; then, since : is a Young measure, ‰ is measurable with respect to t and continuous x (xn ! x implies e.xn ; y/ ! e.x; y/ and then R R in the second variable e.x ; y/d .y/ ! e.x; y/d t .y/). n t P P According to Proposition 3.8, ‰ is a Carathéodory integrand. In the general case, since P P is metrizable, let, for every n 2 N, en W P P ! Œ0; C1Œ be the Yosida’s transform of e; .en /n is an increasing sequence of Lipschitz mappings such that en " e (see Lemma 2.35). According to the Lebesgue monotone convergence theorem “ ‰n .t; x/ D en .x; y/d t .y/ " ‰.t; x/: P P
.‰n /n is a sequence of Carathéodory integrands and so ‰ D supn ‰n is measurable and l.s.c. in the second variable. The following result characterizes the compactness in measure by adding a weak concentration condition to that of being tight. Theorem 3.123 (Theorem 2 of [144]). (I) Let P be a Polish space and let e W P P ! Œ0; C1 be a l.s.c. application with the property: e.x; y/ D 0 if and only if x D y. A tight set U M.P / which satisfies to the weak concentration condition with respect to e: Z T h lim sup e.u.t C h/; u.t //dt D 0 (CF’) h#0 u2U

is relatively compact in measure. (II) Conversely, if U M.P / is relatively compact in measure, then U is tight and satisfies to the weak concentration condition .CF 0 / with respect to any bounded continuous metric e on P .

Proof. (I) Let U M.P / be a tight set which satisfies to the weak concentration condition with respect to a l.s.c. application e W P P ! Œ0; C1 which vanishes only on the diagonal P of P . Since the topology of the convergence in measure is metrizable, it is sufficient to show that U is sequentially compact in measure. Let so .un /n U ; since U is tight, it results from Theorem 3.64 that .un /n has a subsequence (still noted .un /n ) S-convergent to a Young measure 2 Y.P /. If is associated to a measurable mapping u, then, according to Proposition 3.40,

Firstly, let us show that, for almost every t 2 , supp t contains only one point u.t/; the demonstration has three stages: “ Z Z 1 h T s e.u; v/d. t Cs ˝ t /.u; v/ dt ds D 0: (A) lim h#0 h 0 0 P P Z T “ e.u; v/d t .u/d t .v/ dt D 0: (B) P P

If we assume that supp t contains two distinct points, x; y 2 P , then, there are two open sets U; V P such that x 2 U; y 2 V and U \ V D ;. Since x; y 2 supp t , t .U / > 0 and t .V / > 0; therefore . t ˝ t /.U V / D t .U / t .V / > 0.

Then u 2 M.P / and D u . (II) Let U M.P / be a set relatively compact in measure; therefore its closure UN is compact in measure in M.P / and, according to Proposition 3.41, UN is Scompact. So UN is tight (Proposition 3.65). Let now e W P P ! RC be a bounded continuous metric and let M D supx;y2P e.x; y/ < C1. Let us show that U satisfies to the weak concentration condition with respect to e. RT For every u; v 2 M.P /, let ıe .u; v/ D 0 e.u.t /; v.t //dt . Then ıe is a pseudo-metric on M.P /; let us show that ıe is continuous with respect to the topology of convergence in measure on M.P /. Let .un /n M.P / be a sequence convergent in measure to a function u 2 M.P /; we can suppose that .un .t//n is convergent to u.t / and then e.un .t/; u.t// ! 0, almost for every t 2 0; T Œ. Since e is bounded, according to RT the bounded convergence theorem, ıe .un ; u/ D 0 e.un .t /; u.t //dt ! 0. If .vn /n is an other sequence convergent in measure to v, then jıe .un ; vn / ıe .u; v/j ıe .un ; u/ C ıe .vn ; v/ ! 0 therefore ıe is continuous. Then .UN ; ıe / is a compact space. R T h For every h 2 0; T Œ, let fh W UN ! R; fh .u/ D 0 e.u.t C h/; u.t //dt:

Therefore, the mappings fh are uniformly Lipschitz on UN and then A D ¹fh W h 2 0; T Œ º C.UN ; R/ is an uniformly equicontinuous set. Moreover, for every h 2 0; T Œ, jfh .u/j M.T h/ M T;

which is exactly the condition of weak concentration with respect to e. This last theorem allows us to demonstrate the result of strong convergence due to Rossi and Savaré. Theorem 3.124 (Theorem 1 of [144]). Let E be a separable Banach space, let 1 p < C1 and let U Lp .; E/ be a Lp -bounded set.

Proof. Let e W E E ! RC defined by e.x; y/ D kx ykE , for every x; y 2 E. Then e is l.s.c. on E E and e.x; y/ D 0 if and only if x D y. Since U is tight and, according to (CF), it satisfies to weak concentration condition with respect to e, the previous theorem assures us that U is relatively compact in measure. According to Proposition 3.120, U is p-uniformly integrable and therefore, according to Corollary 3.119, U is relatively strongly compact in Lp .; E/. We obtain some known compactness results as corollaries of Rossi–Savaré theorem. The following theorem is presented in §4 of Ch. IV of [114] for the Hilbert spaces and in [7] for the Banach spaces. Theorem 3.125 (Lions–Aubin theorem).

Chapter 3 Young Measures
Gradient Young Measures
Young measures were introduced in two different but equivalent ways. Initially, they were presented as being generated by sequences of measurable functions. This direction is based on the fundamental theorem of Young; it is followed in the works of L. Tartar [163, 164, 165], J. M. Ball [22], L. C. Evans [69], D. Kinderlehrer and P. Pedregal [102, 103], T. Roubi˘cek [145], I. Fonseca and S. Müller [83]. Among more recent works using this approach, we quote [158, 181, 161, 85, 8, 72, 109]. Here, we have used a recent definition, used by E. Balder [10, 12] and M. Valadier [168] (see also [45]). In this section, we compare the two definitions. In the first part of section, we present the fundamental theorem of Young. We define and characterize p-Young measures as limits of sequences of Lp . In the case where the Young measure is generated by a sequence of gradients, we introduce the p-gradient Young measures. The p-gradient Young measures and lower semicontinuity are the main ingredients in the study of solutions existence in relaxed variational calculus. Both of these ingredients have characterizations with quasiconvex functions. The study of this class of functions was started by Ch. B. Morrey, Jr. (see [121, 122] and was continued and developed by many others of that we quote: I. Fonseca and S. Müller [83], J. M. Ball, B. Kirchheim and J. Kristensen [24], A. Braides, I. Fonseca and G. Leoni [35], P. Pedregal [131]; see also [84, 71, 117, 160, 66, 34]. In the second part of this section, we define and study quasiconvexity. We find in literature quasiconvexity defined in different ways; we present a comparative study of these different definitions and, finally, the theorem of Kinderlehrer– Pedregal for characterization of p-gradient Young measures (see [102]). The third part of section is devoted to the study of sequentially weakly lower semicontinuous (wlsc) functionals in W 1;p .; Rm / and their characterization by quasiconvexity (Morrey–Acerbi–Fusco theorem). Studies on wlsc can also be found in [9, 118, 100, 83, 108, 159, 53, 54, 170, 113] and [125]. In this section, we will use the following framework: is a bounded open subset of the Euclidean space Rd (d 1). A is the -algebra of Lebesgue measurable subsets of . D dt is Lebesgue measure on . B.Rm / is the -algebra of Borel subsets of the Euclidean space Rm (m 1). M.Rm / notes the set of all .A B.Rm //-measurable mappings.

P .Rm / is the set of probabilities on Rm endowed with the narrow topology. C0 .Rm / is the set of all continuous functions f W Rm ! R such that, for every " > 0, there is k > 0, with jf .x/j < ", for every x 2 Rm , kxk > kº— the set of all continuous functions vanishing at infinity. Lip.; Rm / is the set of all Lipschitz functions f W ! Rm . Cc1 .; Rm / is the set of all Rm -valued functions with compact support in , differentiable of all orders.
3.10.1
Young Measures Generated by Sequences
The density of the M.Rm / in Y.Rm / (see Theorem 3.50 for S D Rm ) is one of the most important properties of the stable topology; historically, the Young measures have been constructed as limits of the measurable functions. Thus, some mathematicians use the notion of Young measure associated to a sequence instead of that of Young measure. The existence of these measures is furnished by the fundamental theorem of Young; in [22], J. M. Ball stated the following version of this theorem (see also Theorem 8.2 from [85]): Theorem 3.128. Let Rd be a measurable bounded set and let .un /n M.Rm / a sequence satisfying the following condition: sup .kun k k/ ! 0: k!C1

Then there exist a subsequence .ukn /n of .un /n and a measurable mapping t 7! t 2 P .Rm / such that: (1) For every closed set K Rm such that ukn .t / 2 K, for every n 2 N and for almost every t 2 , supp t K;
for almost every t 2 :

Proof. We observe that, in the hypotheses of the theorem, .un /n is tight in Y.Rm / and then, according to Prohorov’s theorem (see Theorem 3.64), it is sequentially S-compact. Let now .ukn /n be a subsequence of .un /n S-convergent to 2 Y.Rm /. (1) By Proposition 3.43: 1 \ ¹ukn .t / W k pº K; for a.e. t 2 : supp t Ls ¹ukn .t/ W n 2 Nº D pD1

Section 3.10 Gradient Young Measures
Remark 3.129. From the previous theorem, every sequence .un /n M.Rm / which satisfies the tightness condition .T /, generates a Young measure on Rm with the properties (1)–(3). Conversely, if we suppose that is atomless on , then, according to Theorem 3.50, M.Rm / is dense in .Y.Rm /; S/. Rm is a metrizable Suslin space and A is countable generated; then, according to Proposition 3.25, .Y.Rm /; S/ is metrizable. Therefore, every Young measure on Rm is the limit of a sequence of measurable functions .un /n . Because of Proposition 3.65, .un /n satisfies the condition .T / and, therefore, the properties (1)–(3) are satisfied. Now we give the definition of a p-Young measure generated by a sequence. Definition 3.130. Let 1 p < C1; a Young measure 2 Y.Rm / is a p-Young measure if there exists a sequence .un /n Lp .; Rm / such that: ´ S and (a) un ! (b) .kun kp /n2N
is uniformly integrable:
In this definition, k k notes the usual norm on Rm ; according to Definition 3.116, (b) says that .un /n is p-uniformly integrable. With the above notations, we say that is generated by the sequence .un /n p L .; Rm /. Remark 3.131. Let .un /n Lp .; Rm / be a sequence which generates the pYoung measure . .i/ .un /n is uniformly integrable in L1 .; Rm /. Indeed, if p > 1, then, according to (iv) of Remark 3.117, .kun k/n is uniformly integrable in L1 .; Rm / and then .un /n it is. w

Remark 3.133. .i/ The equivalent form (2) for p-Young measures belongs to D. Kinderlehrer and P. Pedregal and has been given in [102]. .ii/ Many papers use as definition the equivalent form (3); see for example the Definition 8.3 in [85] and definition 2.1 in [100]. We remark that, in these definitions, the condition (a) are missing; but without it, (3) does not imply (1). Indeed, the sequence .un /n L1 .Œ0; 1/; un D n 1 , is not uniformly integrable but it satisfies the condition (b) from (3).
Œ0; n
In the case where a Young measure is generated by the gradients of a sequence .un /n W 1;p .; Rm /, we say that is a gradient Young measure. This notion has been introduced by D. Kinderlehrer and P. Pedregal in [102]. This one is presented here in the equivalent form (1) (see the previous theorem). Definition 3.134. Let 1 p < C1, Rd be a bounded open set and let W 1;p .; Rm / be the Sobolev space (the definition of which we already presented in 3.98). A Young measure 2 Y.Rmd / is a p-gradient Young measure if there exists a sequence .un /n W 1;p .; Rm / such that: 8 < (a) .krun kp /n2N is uniformly integrable in L1 .; Rmd / and S

.ii/ Theorem 3.132 allows us to obtain easily characterizations of type (2) and (3) for p-gradient Young measures, replacing the sequence .un /n with the sequence .run /n . Young measure and let Proposition 3.136. Let 2 Y.Rmd / be a p-gradient R bar: W ! Rmd be its barycenter: bar t D yd t .y/. Then Z kykp d .t; y/ < C1 and so bar: 2 Lp .; Rmd /: Rmd

The mapping ‰ W Rmd ! R, defined

Therefore, bar: 2 Lp .; Rmd /. Proposition 3.137. Let Rd be a bounded open set with a Lipschitz boundary (see Definition 12.10 from [50]) and let 1 p < C1. Let 2 Y.Rmd / be a p-gradient Young measure generated by .run /n 1;p 1;p W0 .; Rm / (or .un u0 /n W0 .; Rm /, where u0 2 W 1;p .; Rm /). 1;p m There exist u 2 W .; R / and a subsequence of .un /n , still noted .un /n , such that kkp

(3) un ! u. W 1;p . ;Rm /
Proof. (1) Since .krun kp /n is uniformly integrable in L1 .; Rmd /, .run /n is bounded in Lp .; Rmd /. Appealing to Poincaré inequality (see, for example, Corollary IX.19 in [36] or Theorem 1.47 in [49]), .un /n is bounded in W 1;p .; Rm / and therefore, from Rellich–Kondrachov theorem (Theorem 12.12 in [50]), up to a subsequence, .un /n converges strongly to u 2 Lp .; Rm /.

commonly occurring in problems of variational calculus. Morrey’s results were later extended by Acerbi and Fusco ([1], 1984) and Marcellini ([118], 1985). In Chapter 5 of [50], we can find an excellent comparative study of various extensions of convexity. Definition 3.138. Let f W Rmd ! R be a continuous function; f is said to be quasiconvex if, for every y 2 Rmd , for every bounded open set Rd and for every ' 2 Cc1 .; Rm /, Z 1 f .y C r'.t //dt: f .y/ ./ In the previous definition, 0 B r' D @

Theorem 3.143. A continuous function f W Rmd ! R is quasiconvex if and only if, for every y 2 Rmd , every bounded open subset Rd and every ' 2 W01;1 .; Rm /, Z 1 f .y/ f .y C r'.t //dt: ./ Proof. The sufficiency is a consequence of the inclusion Cc1 .; Rm / W01;1 .; Rm /. Let us prove the necessity. We recall the standard procedure of approximation.

Remark 3.144. We cannot relax condition ' 2 W01;1 .; Rm / of the previous theorem to condition ' 2 W 1;1 .; Rm /. Indeed, as we remarked in Example 3.142, the function f W R2 2 !

But we can extend the characterization theorem to the class of periodic functions of W 1;1 .Rd ; Rm /. Definition 3.145. Let Q D .0; 1/d ; the function ' W Rd !

Proof. Sufficiency follows from the fact that any function ' 2 Cc1 .Q; Rm / can be extended to a Q - periodic function of W 1;1 .Rd ; Rm /. Let us prove the necessity. We suppose that f W Rmd !

In the following, we introduce a notion more general than quasiconvexity, notion which has the advantage, however, to speak in a language closer to that of convexity. Definition 3.151. The function f W Rmd ! R is said rank one convex if the function g W R ! R, defined by g.t / D f .y C t .a ˝ b//, is convex, for every y 2 Rmd , every a 2 Rm and every b 2 Rd , where a ˝ b is the matrix 0 1 0 1 a1 a1 b1 a1 bd B C A ::: D aT b: a ˝ b D @ ::: A .b1 bd / D @ am b1 am bd m d am We remark that rank.a ˝ b/ 1.

For every y 2 Rmd , every a 2 Rm and every b 2 Rd , we define g W R ! R by g.t / D f .y C t.a ˝ b//. Let us show that g is convex.

and again, for every y; z 2 Rm 1 D Rm , we can find a 2 Rm and b 2 R such that y z D a ˝ b. Remark 3.154. In Example 3.142, we present a quasiconvex function which is not convex. In 1952, Ch. Morrey formulated the conjecture under which rank one convexity does not imply quasiconvexity if m; d 2. Šverák demonstrated in 1992 (see [156]) that Morrey’s statement is true if m 3 and d 2. The case where m D 2; d 2 is still open. A detailed discussion on this issue can be found in Chapter 5 of [50].

In the following, we usually omit the word “sequentially” in the above definitions. N is Remark 3.159. According to (ii) of Remark 3.156, if I W W 1;p .; Rm / ! R wlsc, then I jW 1;1 . ;Rm / is w*lsc. In the following, we present the relationships between the wlsc of I and the quasiconvexity of f ; briefly, I is wlsc if and only if f .t; x; / is quasiconvex. We begin with a particular case (see Theorem 3.13 of [50]). Theorem 3.160. Let 1 p C1, let f W Rmd ! RR be a continuous function, N be defined by I.u/ D and let I W W 1;p .; Rm / ! R f .ru.t //dt: 1;p m If I is wlsc in W .; R / (w*lsc in W 1;1 .; Rm /), then f is a quasiconvex function. Proof. (1) Firstly, we suppose that p D C1.

Relaxed Solutions in Variational Calculus
Young measures were introduced as a need to provide generalized solutions to problems which do not admit classical solutions. With an illustrative purpose and without any intention of exhaustivity, we seek a classification of the bibliography, represented by works that use Young measures as a tool, in a few areas. Please note that these fields have ambiguous boundaries, some of the cited works could being able to belong to many of them.

However, we should note that the original reason for the emergence of Young measures has been to give relaxed solutions to variational problems. Many problems, formulated in the language of optimization theory, lack classical optimal solutions; the main reason is the rapid oscillations of its minimizing gradient sequences. This phenomenon requires the extension of the notion of solution of such problems. L. C. Young introduced in 1937 so called generalized curves (see [177]) and, afterwards, the generalized surfaces ([178]). The technique of Young measures was used then to obtain relaxed solutions by J. Warga ([173]), E. J. Balder ([9]), M. Valadier ([169]) and P. Pedregal ([128, 130]). We can also cite the works of C. Carstensen and T. Roubi˘cek ([39]), C. Castaing, A. Jofre and A. Salvadori ([46]), M. Chipot ([48]), J. F. Edmond ([64]), J. J. Egozcue, R. Meziat and P. Pedregal ([67]) and J. Mach ([116]). In this last section, we present applications of Young measures in this direction: the conditions for existence of relaxed solutions to problems of variational calculus.

Chapter 3 Young Measures
The standard problem of the calculus of variations is to find minimizers of functional Z I.u/ D f .t; u.t /; ru.t //dt;
where is a bounded open subset of Rd , the admissible mappings u W ! Rm belong to a set of competitors H W 1;p .; Rm /; 1 p C1 and f W Rm Rmd ! R is a Carathéodory integrand, i.e.: a) .x; y/ 2 Rm Rmd 7! f .t; x; y/ is continuous, for almost every t 2 . b) t 2 7! f .t; x; y/ is measurable, for every .x; y/ 2 Rm Rmd . In short, the direct method in variational calculus is the following: Let a minimizing sequence .un /n H for the problem: inf¹I.u/ W u 2 H º D m:
(P)
This means that I.un / ! m. Using some compactness results (to be specified), we can obtain a subsequence (still noted .un /n ) weakly convergent to u0 in W 1;p .; Rm / (weak* convergent in the case p D C1). If I is sequentially weakly lower semicontinuous (weak* l.s.c. in the case p D C1), then I.u0 / lim inf I.un / D m I.u0 /: n!C1
Therefore, u0 is a minimizer for the problem .P /. This method is fruitful when a convexity condition in the gradient variable is assumed on the integrand f (I is weakly lower semicontinuous if and only if f .t; x; / is quasiconvex). For more detailed information on this approach, we indicate the books [49, 50, 85]. Unfortunately, many problems formulated in the language of optimization theory lack classical optimal solutions. So, non-convex optimization problems may not possess a classical minimizer because the minimizing sequences have typically rapid oscillations. This behavior requires a relaxation of classical solutions for such problems; often we can obtain a such relaxation by means of Young measures (see [45, 85, 128, 145, 163, 173, 176]). We will extend the class of competitors to HN and then we will extend the functional I to IN W HN ! R; therefore we arrive at the relaxed problem: inf¹IN.u/ N W uN 2 HN º D m: N

We will give some conditions that the problem .PN / to have a minimizer. If, moreover, F is quasiconvex in the gradient variable, then we obtain the known solutions for the problem .P /. Let 1 p < C1; Rd be a bounded open set with a Lipschitz boundary and let f W Rm Rmd !

Now, let us suppose that, almost for every t 2 and for every x 2 Rm , f .t; x; / is quasiconvex. At begin of this subsection, we remarked already that .C / implies .Cp / and, therefore the conditions of Morrey–Acerbi–Fusco theorem are accomplished (see Theorem 3.162). Then I is sequentially weakly lower semicontinuous in W 1;p .; Rm /. w With above notations, we can decide that un ! u (see also ProposiW 1;p

n
and so I.u/ D m. Remark 3.174. In the case of Bolza problem, the relaxed problem is: ² ³ Z 2 2 2 inf IN.u; / D .y 1/ C min¹u .t /; 1º d .t; y/ W .u; / 2 HN : .0;1/ R
According to Theorem 3.173, .PN / admits as minimizer. The sequence .un /n from the Example 3.164 is uniformly convergent to the constant function u0 D 0 and the sequence of gradients (the Rademacher sequence) is stably convergent to Young measure 0 whose disintegration is constant t0 D 12 .ı1 C ı1 /, for every t 2 .0; 1/. Therefore m D IN.u0 ; 0 /. We note that we have no solution for problem .P /.
