Chapter 3 Total variation distance between measures
3.2 Total variation and lattice operations 3 The total variation v(µ) is also equal to sup|f |≤1 |µf |, the supremum running over all A-measurable functions f bounded in absolute value by 1. Indeed, |µf |=λ|mf|≤λ|m| if |f |≤1, with equality when f ={m ≥ 0}−{m < 0}. When µ(X) = 0, there are some slight simplifications in the formulae for v(µ).In that case, 0 = λm = λm+ − ...
