Definitions of an outer measure and the corresponding FunLike class #

In this file we define MeasureTheory.OuterMeasure α to be the type of outer measures on α.

An outer measure is a function μ : Set α → ℝ≥0∞, from the powerset of a type to the extended nonnegative real numbers that satisfies the following conditions:

  1. μ ∅ = 0;
  2. μ is monotone;
  3. μ is countably subadditive. This means that the outer measure of a countable union is at most the sum of the outer measure on the individual sets.

Note that we do not need α to be measurable to define an outer measure.

We also define a typeclass MeasureTheory.OuterMeasureClass.

An outer measure is a countably subadditive monotone function that sends to 0.

    Outer measure function. Use automatic coercion instead.

  • empty : self.measureOf = 0
  • mono {s₁ s₂ : Set α} : s₁ s₂self.measureOf s₁ self.measureOf s₂
  • iUnion_nat (s : Set α) : Pairwise (Disjoint on s)self.measureOf (⋃ (i : ), s i) ∑' (i : ), self.measureOf (s i)

    A mixin class saying that elements μ : F are outer measures on α.

    This typeclass is used to unify some API for outer measures and measures.

    • measure_empty (f : F) : f = 0
    • measure_mono (f : F) {s t : Set α} : s tf s f t
    • measure_iUnion_nat_le (f : F) (s : Set α) : Pairwise (Disjoint on s)f (⋃ (i : ), s i) ∑' (i : ), f (s i)
