Candela per square metre Candela per square metre The candela per square metre (cd/m) is the derived SI unit of luminance. The unit is based on the candela, the SI unit of luminous intensity, and the square metre, the SI unit of area. Nit (nt) is a non-SI name also used for this unit (1 nt = 1 cd/m). The term "nit" is believed to come from the Latin word "nitere", to shine. As a measure of light emitted per unit area, this unit is frequently used to specify the brightness of a display device. The sRGB spec for monitors targets 80 cd/m. Typically,
Carleson measure Carleson measure In mathematics, a Carleson measure is a type of measure on subsets of "n"-dimensional Euclidean space R. Roughly speaking, a Carleson measure on a domain Ω is a measure that does not vanish at the boundary of Ω when compared to the surface measure on the boundary of Ω. Carleson measures have many applications in harmonic analysis and the theory of partial differential equations, for instance in the solution of Dirichlet problems with "rough" boundary. The Carleson condition is closely related to the boundedness of the Poisson operator. Carleson measures are named after the Swedish mathematician Lennart Carleson.
