Method of exhaustion

If μ, ν are two measures with ν s-finite, then there exists a set s such that μ is sigma-finite on s, and for all sets t ⊆ sᶜ, either ν t = 0 or μ t = ∞.

Main definitions

• MeasureTheory.Measure.sigmaFiniteSetWRT: if such a set exists, μ.sigmaFiniteSetWRT ν is a measurable set such that μ.restrict (μ.sigmaFiniteSetWRT ν) is sigma-finite and for all sets t ⊆ (μ.sigmaFiniteSetWRT ν)ᶜ, either ν t = 0 or μ t = ∞. If no such set exists (which is only possible if ν is not s-finite), we define μ.sigmaFiniteSetWRT ν = ∅.
• MeasureTheory.Measure.sigmaFiniteSet: for an s-finite measure μ, a measurable set such that μ.restrict μ.sigmaFiniteSet is sigma-finite, and for all sets s ⊆ μ.sigmaFiniteSetᶜ, either μ s = 0 or μ s = ∞. Defined as μ.sigmaFiniteSetWRT μ.

Main statements

• measure_eq_top_of_subset_compl_sigmaFiniteSetWRT: for s-finite ν, for all sets s in (sigmaFiniteSetWRT μ ν)ᶜ, if ν s ≠ 0 then μ s = ∞.

• An instance showing that μ.restrict (sigmaFiniteSetWRT μ ν) is sigma-finite.

• restrict_compl_sigmaFiniteSetWRT: if μ ≪ ν and ν is s-finite, then μ.restrict (μ.sigmaFiniteSetWRT ν)ᶜ = ∞ • ν.restrict (μ.sigmaFiniteSetWRT ν)ᶜ. As a consequence, that restriction is s-finite.

• An instance showing that μ.restrict μ.sigmaFiniteSet is sigma-finite.

• restrict_compl_sigmaFiniteSet_eq_zero_or_top: the measure μ.restrict μ.sigmaFiniteSetᶜ takes only two values: 0 and ∞ .

• measure_compl_sigmaFiniteSet_eq_zero_iff_sigmaFinite: a measure μ is sigma-finite iff μ μ.sigmaFiniteSetᶜ = 0.

A measurable set such that μ.restrict (μ.sigmaFiniteSetWRT ν) is sigma-finite and for all measurable sets t ⊆ sᶜ, either ν t = 0 or μ t = ∞.

Equations

We prove that the condition in the definition of sigmaFiniteSetWRT is true for finite measures. Since every s-finite measure is absolutely continuous with respect to a finite measure, the condition will then also be true for s-finite measures.

Let C be the supremum of ν s over all measurable sets s such that μ.restrict s is sigma-finite. C is finite since ν is a finite measure. Then there exists a measurable set t with μ.restrict t sigma-finite such that ν t ≥ C - 1/n.
