Stilb (unit) Stilb (unit) The stilb (sb) is the CGS unit of luminance for objects that are not self-luminous. It is equal to one candela per square centimeter or 10 nits (candelas per square meter). The name was coined by the French physicist André Blondel around 1920. It comes from the Greek word "stilbein" meaning "to glitter". It was in common use in Europe up to World War I. In North America self-explanatory terms such as candle per square inch and candle per square meter were more common. The unit has since largely been replaced by the SI unit: candela per square
Maximising measure under "T", i.e., for every Borel-measurable subset "A" of "X", "μ"("T"("A")) = "μ"("A"). (Note that, by the Krylov-Bogolyubov theorem, if "X" is compact and metrizable, Inv("T") is non-empty.) Define, for continuous functions "f" : "X" → R, the maximum integral function "β" by A probability measure "μ" in Inv("T") is said to be a maximising measure for "f" if Maximising measure In mathematics — specifically, in ergodic theory — a maximising measure is a particular kind of probability measure. Informally, a probability measure "μ" is a maximising measure for some function "f" if the integral of "f" with respect to
