Terminology note:

Dynkin himself used the p-system/d-system terminology[2] using it we get the much more concise statement.

Statement

  • A collection of subsets of X, A is a σ-algebra if and only if is is both a p-system and a d-system[2].

Proof

A collection of subsets is a sigma-algebra iff it is a Dynkin system and closed under finite intersections/Proof


TODO: Page 33 in[1] and like page 3 in[2]
