Volume measure for Euclidean geometry #
In this file we introduce a d-dimensional measure for n-dimensional Euclidean affine space,
namely MeasureTheory.Measure.euclideanHausdorffMeasure d with notation μHE[d].
This is the suitable measure to describe area and volume in an environment of arbitrary dimension.
It is characterized by the following properties:
- Coincides with Lebesgue measure when
d = n. - Preserved through isometry, and specifically through affine subspace inclusion.
Internally, this is defined as the MeasureTheory.Measure.hausdorffMeasure scaled by a factor.
The factor is defined nonconstructively as the MeasureTheory.Measure.addHaarScalarFactor between
the Hausdorff measure and the Lebesgue measure on a model Euclidean space.
TODO: show the scaling factor equals to the ratio between the volume of d-dimensional
Metric.ball with Euclidean metric and with sup metric.

Hausdorff measure, measure, metric measure, volume, area
Euclidean Hausdorff measure μHE[d], defined as μH[d] scaled to agree with Lebesgue measure
on a d-dimensional Euclidean space. While this is defined on any (e)metric space, it is intended
to be used for affine space associated with an inner product space, where it agrees with the volume
measure on the inner product space.
