The Setwise Supremum of an Increasing Sequence of Measures Is a Measure

If a sequence of measures on a measurable space increases setwise, then its setwise supremum is again a measure; no finiteness is assumed.

Statement

In the setting of Measure Spaces, Borel Sets and Lebesgue Measure on the Real Line: Standing Notation, let (X,F)(X,\mathcal{F}) be a measurable space, and let (λj)j∈N(\lambda_{j})_{j\in\mathbb{N}} be a sequence of measures on (X,F)(X,\mathcal{F}) that increases setwise:

λj(B)≤λj+1(B)for all j∈N and B∈F.\lambda_{j}(B)\le\lambda_{j+1}(B)\qquad\text{for all }j\in\mathbb{N}\text{ and }B\in\mathcal{F}.

The setwise supremum is a measure. There is a measure μ\mu on (X,F)(X,\mathcal{F}) such that

μ(B)=sup⁡j∈Nλj(B)for every B∈F.\mu(B)=\sup_{j\in\mathbb{N}}\lambda_{j}(B)\qquad\text{for every }B\in\mathcal{F}.
