Radial continuous valuations on star bodies

Abstract

We show that a radial continuous valuation defined on the n-dimensional star bodies extends uniquely to a continuous valuation on the n-dimensional bounded star sets. Moreover, we provide an integral representation of every such valuation, in terms of the radial function, which is valid on the dense subset of the simple Borel star sets. Along the way, we also show that every radial continuous valuation defined on the n-dimensional star bodies can be decomposed as a sum V=V+−V−, where both V+ and V− are positive radial continuous valuations.
