Abstract

The concave and decomposition-integrals for capacities defined over finite spaces are introduced. The decomposition integral is based on allowable decompositions of a random variable and it generalizes the Choquet, concave, Shilkret and Pan integrals. Further research directions are given at the end of the paper.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Coincidentally, the notation \(\mathcal{F}^{Ch}\), derived from the word chain, resonates with the notation \(\int ^{Ch}\) that derives from Choquet.

  2. 2.

    \(X \cdot \alpha _j\) denotes the inner product of X and \( \alpha _j\).
