If (μn)n=1∞ are positive measures on a measurable space (X,Σ) and (vn)n=1∞ are elements of a Banach space ???? such that Σn=1∞‖vn‖μn(X)<∞, then ω(S) = Σn=1∞vnμn(S) defines a vector measure of bounded variation on (X,Σ). We show ???? has the Radon-Nikodym property if and only if every ????-valued measure of bounded variation on (X,Σ) is of this form. This characterization of the Radon-Nikodym property leads to a new proof of the Lewis-Stegall theorem.
We also use this result to show that under natural conditions an operator defined on positive measures has a unique extension to an operator defined on ????-valued measures for any Banach space ???? that has the Radon-Nikodym property.
