The work proves four equivalent characterizations of this generalized majorization, extending the classical Hardy-Littlewood-Pólya theorem to infinite measure spaces. Applications include deriving resource monotones and constraining quantum state conversions within quantum resource theories, with analytical and numerical examples using Wigner and Husimi functions. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
