The Riesz–Markov–Kakutani theorem on a compact space #
On a compact Hausdorff space X every continuous function is compactly supported, so Mathlib's
Riesz–Markov–Kakutani theorem (RealRMK.integral_rieszMeasure), stated for positive linear
functionals on C_c(X, ℝ), applies to a linear functional L on C(X, ℝ) that is nonnegative
on nonnegative functions: such an L is integration against a regular measure μ. When
0 < L 1, the measure μ is finite and nonzero, with μ X = L 1, so normalizing it gives a
regular probability measure ν with ∫ h dν = L h / L 1.

On a compact Hausdorff space, a linear functional L on C(X, ℝ) that is positive at 1
and nonnegative on nonnegative functions satisfies ∫ h dν = L h / L 1 for a regular
probability measure ν.
