Defines a measure on a measurable space as a countably additive map from the measurable sets to [0,∞] vanishing on the empty set, a measure space, and finite, σ-finite and probability measures.
In the setting of Routine Facts Used Without Citation: Arithmetic, Maps, Predicativity and Indices, let be a measurable space. Then by σ-Algebra and Measurable Space (i), and for the empty set , by Closure Properties of σ-Algebras, Intersections and Traces of σ-Algebras, and the Generated σ-Algebra (vi). Let , and be as in The Extended Real Line, Its Order, and [0,∞] (i), The Extended Real Line, Its Order, and [0,∞] (ii) and The Extended Real Line, Its Order, and [0,∞] (iii); by Addition and Multiplication on [0,∞] (ii). For a sequence in , is its sum. For a sequence in , is the union of as a family indexed by , and by σ-Algebra and Measurable Space (i); the sequence is pairwise disjoint if for all with , where is the intersection.
A measure on is a map such that and
for every pairwise disjoint sequence in , the right-hand side being the sum of the sequence in (countable additivity).
A measure space is the tuple of a measurable space and a measure on .
