Law of X

[edit]

Could the phrase "let P^x denote the law of X given initial datum x ..." be better explained? What law are we talking about? Is this in the sense of the solution for an initial value problem? I'm assuming P^x is a probability measure or something - maybe it should be stated.


f(x) = |x|^2 is not a compactly supported function, so I don't see how this example can work. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:A61:32DF:8B01:ADE1:F9FE:FA2A:2B1B (talk) 00:38, 16 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Since we are only really relying on the values of f(x) inside a ball of radius, say, 2R, we could use a smooth cut-off function outside that set. It won't change any of the values where we actually evaluate f, but f will then be of compact support. 134.99.156.75 (talk) 15:29, 24 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
