Abstract: | Lyapunov proved that the range of finite measures defined on the same -algebra is compact, and if each measure also is atomless, then the range is convex. Although both conclusions may fail for measures on different -algebras of the same set, they do hold if the -algebras are nested, which is exactly the setting of classical optimal stopping theory. |
