Superpositions in Prigogine's approach to irreversibility for physical and financial applications

Abstract

In this paper we apply the theory of superpositions for Radon measures on compact subsets of the real Euclidean n-space R^n to Prigogine's approach in the study of irreversible processes, which emerge in physics and in economics, showing that the superposition is a natural rigorous tool feasible to face the problem.
