A Lebesgue Decomposition for Vector Valued Additive Set Functions Defined on a Lattice

Abstract

Our aim is to establish the Lebesgue decomposition for s-bounded vector valued additive functions defined on lattices of sets in both the finitely and countably additive setting. Strongly bounded (s-bounded) set functions were first studied by Rickart [15], and then by Rao [14], Brooks [1] and Darst [5; 6]. In 1963 Darst [6] established a result giving the decomposition of s-bounded elements in a normed Abelian group with respect to an algebra of projection operators.
