Decreasing rearrangements of nonnegative null families #
The decreasing rearrangement lists the values of a nonnegative null family in descending order, with multiplicities. It is padded by zeros when only finitely many values are positive, including for an empty index type. The characterization by finite superlevel sets avoids choosing an enumeration of the original index type.
For a family tending to zero along the cofinite filter, its rearrangement tends to zero and bounds every finite product by the product of the same number of initial terms. This supplies ordered bounds for determinants with arbitrarily indexed rows.
The decreasing rearrangement of a bounded nonnegative family, padded by zeros.
The term at n is the supremum of the lower bounds on n + 1 distinct entries, together
with zero. For a null family, a positive rearranged term is attained by an entry.
Instances For
The rearrangement is antitone.
A finite set containing every entry larger than a bounds the rearrangement from its
cardinality onward. In particular finite support gives zero padding.
The rearrangement of the zero family is zero.
Discarding entries that are not positive does not change the rearrangement: restricting r
to a set of indices containing every positive entry has the same rearrangement.
Every positive term of the rearrangement of a null family is an original entry.
A family tending to zero cofinitely has a null decreasing rearrangement.
