Integrating simple functions against an effect-valued measure
i. Overview
An effect-valued measure `μ` assigns an effect to every event. Integrating a simple function `∑ᵢ cᵢ 𝟙_{sᵢ}` against it gives `∑ᵢ cᵢ μ(sᵢ)`. The effect-valued measure is finitely additive, so this does not depend on how the function is written: two partitions representing the same function give the same value, by passing to their common refinement. The integral is linear and positive.
ii. Key results
- `EffectValuedMeasure.apply_iUnion_of_disjoint` : finite additivity. - `EffectValuedMeasure.IsPartition` : finite measurable partitions. - `EffectValuedMeasure.simpleIntegral` : the integral `∑ᵢ cᵢ μ(sᵢ)` of a simple function. - `EffectValuedMeasure.simpleIntegral_eq_of_pointwise_eq` : the integral depends only on the function. - `EffectValuedMeasure.simpleIntegral_nonneg` : the integral is positive.

A. Finite measurable partitions and simple functions
Nothing here refers to `E` or to a POVM at all yet: a partition and the simple function it carries are facts about `Ω` alone.
B. Finite additivity
`EffectValuedMeasure` only bundles *countable* additivity (`countably_additive`). Finite additivity is the special case of a family that is eventually `∅`, and the least upper bound of an eventually-constant, nondecreasing sequence (nondecreasing since every value of `μ` is a nonnegative effect) is just its eventual value — which is what lets us read finite sums off `countably_additive` directly.

Value of the simple function at
Given a finite index set , a collection of real coefficients , and a family of sets for , this function calculates the value of the simple function at a point , where denotes the indicator function of the set .
The value of the simple function at is
Let be a finite index set and be a partition of the space . For a family of real coefficients and the simple function defined by , if a point lies in the piece for some , then the function evaluates to . This holds because, since the pieces of the partition are pairwise disjoint, the indicator functions vanish for all .
