<p>Let $X$ be a separable metric space, $\mu_{n}$ a sequence of Borel probability measures and $\mathcal{C}$ be a family of sets that is closed under finite unions and interections, and that contains all the balls. If $\mu_{n}(A)$ converges for every $A\in\mathcal{C}$, does there exists a Borel measure $\mu_{\infty}$ such that $\mu_{\infty}(E)=\lim\mu_{n}(E)$ for every $E\in\mathcal{C}?$</p> <p>From Theorem 4.3 in <a href="http://msp.org/pjm/1964/14-3/pjm-v14-n3-p23-p.pdf" rel="nofollow">this paper</a> we can get this result when $X$ is locally compact. Here Sion makes an outer measure and then shows open sets are measurable. His proof definitively uses local compactness. </p> <p>Does anybody know if the result is true when $X$ is not necessarily locally compact?</p>

<p>Working with cellular automata I came across a system of equations for unknown integers $R_{k}$ and $C_{k}$ that looks like this.</p> <p>$\binom{m}{k}=R_{k}+C_{k}+\sum\limits_{j=1}^{k-1}R_{j}C_{k-j}.$</p> <p>Where 0&lt; k$\leq$ 2m </p> <p>(for k>m we take $\binom{m}{k}=R_{k}=C_{k}=0$)</p> <p>Given $R_{1}$, the system has a unique solution. </p> <p>Has anyone seen something similar? Do you know if it still possible to solve it, if instead of $\binom{m}{k}$ in the left you put something else? </p> <p>I just want to know if it's related to something else, and if it's possible to solve more general systems. </p>

Thanks for your comment. There is something I don't understand. Are you assuming the closure of the identity is not a single point? Is this is necessarily true?

Sure. The multiplication of g is a dynamical system, a rotation in a compact abelian group. I want to construct a dynamical isomorphism from a dynamical system in X to G.

Thanks for your comments. Theorem 4.3 talks about two kinds of limits. The other limit is the outer measure constructed in section 3. Theorem 3.3 mentions that the outer measure is Radon (hence every borel set is measurable) if every open set is the countable union of compact sets.

Sure, a theorem by Halmos and Von Neumann state that T is transitive (one dense orbit) and isometric, iff it is topologically isomoprhic to a minimal rotation on a compact abelian group iff T is minimal and has discrete topological spectrum. (topological because in this case the operator associated to the dynamical system is acting on the space of continuous functions. ) A good reference for this is An introduction to ergodic theory by Peter Walters.

Thank you Bill. Andreas: I am mostly curious about metric spaces but I don't think that assumption is necessary.

Thanks, I was not looking for the case when the cesaro means do not converge. I wanted that as a part of the hypothesis. But I think your counter example works, if you take $x_{n}$=0 only sporadically, then you will have cesaro mean convergence but not convergence.

I think that works, thanks.

Yes , that exactly what I meant. by &quot;Given R1, the system has a unique solution.&quot; thanks for clearing this out.

Because I want things like $R_{m-1}C_{2}$ to be zero.
