Indecomposable Marginal Problems

  • Chapter
Advances in Probability Distributions with Given Marginals

Part of the book series: Mathematics and Its Applications ((MAIA,volume 67))

Abstract

It is shown that duality theorems for marginal problems that hold in the decomposable case for all bounded Borei measurable functions extend to the indecomposable case, if the function under consideration is upper semicontinuous, but may fail, if it is lower semicontinuous.
