Hello,
After reading the previous post, I still have some doubts. Let's consider everything on $R$ to avoid complications.
Can we say that any distribution $\mu\in\mathcal{D}'(R)$ of zero order is a signed radon measure?
Since $\mu\in\mathcal{D}'(R)$ which is non-negative on non-negative test functions $C_c^\infty(R)$ is a positive radon measure, it is natural to ask what is corresponding part for the Schwartz distribution $\mu\in\mathcal{S}'(R)$ which is non-negative on non-negative test functions $\mathcal{S}(R)$? Intuitively, it is the radon measure whose mass grows slowly at infinity. Is there a name for this measure?
For a radon measure $\mu$ on $R$, can we apply the Lebesgue's decomposition locally with a compact set fixed (say $K=[-a,a]$)? Then $\mu_K=\mu_{ac}+\mu_{sc}+\mu_{pp}$. The absolutely continuous part $\mu_{ac}$ corresponds to an absolutely continuous function; the pure point part $\mu_{pp}$ corresponds to sum of delta functions. How about the singular continuous part $\mu_{sc}$? EDIT: This question can also be put in the following way: Let $f$ be a singular function, what can we say $\int f\psi d x$ with $\psi\in\mathcal{D}(R)$?
Thank you for your help! :-)
