A Dynkin system, named after Eugene Dynkin, is a collection of subsets of another universal set satisfying a set of axioms weaker than those of σ-algebra.

The primary relevance of λ-systems are their use in applications of the π-λ theorem.
Definitions
Let Ω be a nonempty set, and let be a collection of subsets of Ω (i.e., is a subset of the power set of Ω). Then is a Dynkin system if
Ω ∈ ,
if A, B ∈ and A ⊆ B, then B \ A ∈ ,
if A1, A2, A3, ... is a sequence of subsets in and An ⊆ An+1 for all n ≥ 1, then .
Equivalently, is a Dynkin system if
Ω ∈ ,
if A ∈ D, then Ac ∈ D,
if A1, A2, A3, ... is a sequence of subsets in such that Ai ∩ Aj = Ø for all i ≠ j, then .
The second definition is generally preferred as it usually is easier to check.
An important fact is that a Dynkin system which is also a π-system (i.e., closed under finite intersection) is a σ-algebra. This can be verified by noting that condition 3 and closure under finite intersection implies closure under countable unions.

A Dynkin system, named after Eugene Dynkin, is a collection of subsets of another universal set satisfying a set of axioms weaker than those of σ-algebra. Dynkin systems are sometimes referred to as λ-systems (Dynkin himself used this term) or d-system. These set families have applications in measure theory and probability.
The primary relevance of λ-systems are their use in applications of the π-λ theorem.
Definitions
Let Ω be a nonempty set, and let be a collection of subsets of Ω (i.e., is a subset of the power set of Ω). Then is a Dynkin system if
Ω ∈ ,
if A, B ∈ and A ⊆ B, then B \ A ∈ ,
if A1, A2, A3, ... is a sequence of subsets in and An ⊆ An+1 for all n ≥ 1, then .
Equivalently, is a Dynkin system if
Ω ∈ ,
if A ∈ D, then Ac ∈ D,
if A1, A2, A3, ... is a sequence of subsets in such that Ai ∩ Aj = Ø for all i ≠ j, then .
The second definition is generally preferred as it usually is easier to check.
An important fact is that a Dynkin system which is also a π-system (i.e., closed under finite intersection) is a σ-algebra. This can be verified by noting that condition 3 and closure under finite intersection implies closure under countable unions.
