Abstract

Given a probability measure over a state space, a partial collection (sub-σ\sigma-algebra) of events whose probabilities are known, induces a capacity over the collection of all possible events. The \emph{induced capacity} of an event FF is the probability of the maximal (with respect to inclusion) event contained in FF whose probability is known. The Choquet integral with respect to the induced capacity coincides with the integral with respect to a \emph{probability specified on a sub-algebra} (Lehrer \cite{Lehrer2}). We study Choquet integral monotone convergence and apply the results to the integral with respect to the induced capacity. The paper characterizes the properties of sub-σ\sigma-algebras and of induced capacities which yield integral monotone convergence.
