Riesz–Markov–Kakutani representation theorem

In mathematics, the Riesz–Markov–Kakutani representation theorem relates linear functionals on spaces of continuous functions on a locally compact space to measures in measure theory. The theorem is named for Frigyes Riesz who introduced it for continuous functions on the unit interval, Andrey Markov who extended the result to some non-compact spaces, and Shizuo Kakutani who extended the result to compact Hausdorff spaces.
