Outer Measures #
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:
μ ∅ = 0
;μ
is monotone;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.

Let μ
be an (outer) measure; let s : ι → Set α
be a sequence of sets, S = ⋃ n, s n
.
If μ (S \ s n)
tends to zero along some nontrivial filter (usually Filter.atTop
on ι = ℕ
),
then μ S = ⨆ n, μ (s n)
.
If a set has zero measure in a neighborhood of each of its points, then it has zero measure in a second-countable space.
If m s ≠ 0
, then for some point x ∈ s
and any t ∈ 𝓝[s] x
we have 0 < m t
