Purpose

This document is the plan for the measure theory notation and development on this site.

Plan

  • Introduce ring of sets
  • PRE-MEASURE ([ilmath]\bar{\mu} [/ilmath]) - Introduce a (positive) extended real valued countably additive set function, [ilmath]\bar{\mu} [/ilmath] on that ring. This will be a pre-measure and these are easy to create (use Lebesgue measure as example) which is why they're the first step.
  • OUTER-MEASURE ([ilmath]\mu^*[/ilmath]) - a construct named because it measures from the outside of a set and comes down (the inf), this lets us "measure" on a power-set like construction (a hereditary [ilmath]\sigma[/ilmath]-ring) which contains every subset of every set in the ring, as well as being closed under countable union and set subtraction.
  • PROBLEM: Outer measures are only subadditive not additive so they're not really measures. Make sure this weakness is demonstrated.
  • We need to consider only the sets that have the property of dividing up every other set in the hereditary sigma-ring additively.
  • We then show this new structure is a ring
  • We then show this new structure is a [ilmath]\sigma[/ilmath]-ring
  • MEASURE ([ilmath]\mu[/ilmath]) - The restriction of the outer-measure, [ilmath]\mu^*[/ilmath], [ilmath]\mu[/ilmath] to this [ilmath]\sigma[/ilmath]-ring is a measure, a pre-measure but on a [ilmath]\sigma[/ilmath]-ring (instead of just ring)
  • Show [ilmath]\mu[/ilmath] is countably additive

We have now constructed a measure on a [ilmath]\sigma[/ilmath]-ring, [ilmath]\mu[/ilmath] from a pre-measure on a ring, [ilmath]\bar{\mu} [/ilmath]

Remaining steps

  • Show that [ilmath]\sigma_R(\mathcal{R})[/ilmath] (the sigma-ring generated by) is inside the [ilmath]\sigma[/ilmath]-ring constructed from the outer-measure.
  • Conclude that the sets in [ilmath]\mathcal{R} [/ilmath] are in this new ring (trivial/definition) and the job is done, we have constructed a measure on [ilmath]\sigma_R(\mathcal{R})[/ilmath]

Remaining problems

If [ilmath]\cdot[/ilmath] is some arbitrary elements of the powerset (so [ilmath]\cdot\subseteq\mathcal{P}(X)[/ilmath]) what letter to use, for example, [ilmath]f:\mathcal{A}\rightarrow\text{whatever} [/ilmath] suggests an algebra in place. What letter to use for "just an arbitrary collection of subsets" eg for use on additive set function
