Repeated quasi-integration on locally compact spaces

Abstract

When XX is locally compact, a quasi-integral (also called a quasi-linear functional) on Cc(X) C_c(X) is a homogeneous, positive functional that is only assumed to be linear on singly-generated subalgebras. We study simple and almost simple quasi-integrals, i.e., quasi-integrals whose corresponding compact-finite topological measures assume exactly two values. We present a criterion for repeated quasi-integration (i.e., iterated integration with respect to topological measures) to yield a quasi-linear functional. We find a criterion for a double quasi-integral to be simple. We describe how a product of topological measures acts on open and compact sets. We show that different orders of integration in repeated quasi-integrals give the same quasi-integral if and only if the corresponding topological measures are both measures or one of the corresponding topological measures is a positive scalar multiple of a point mass.
