Induced Outer Measure #
We can extend a function defined on a subset of Set α to an outer measure.
The underlying function is called extend, and the measure it induces is called
inducedOuterMeasure.
Some lemmas below are proven twice, once in the general case, and one where the function m
is only defined on measurable sets (i.e. when P = MeasurableSet). In the latter cases, we can
remove some hypotheses in the statement. The general version has the same name, but with a prime
at the end.

outer measure
We can trivially extend a function defined on a subclass of objects (with codomain ℝ≥0∞)
to all objects by defining it to be ∞ on the objects not in the class.
Equations
- MeasureTheory.extend m s = ⨅ (h : P s), m s h
Instances For
Given an arbitrary function on a subset of sets, we can define the outer measure corresponding
to it (this is the unique maximal outer measure that is at most m on the domain of m).
Equations
Instances For
If P u is False for any set u that has nonempty intersection both with s and t, then
μ (s ∪ t) = μ s + μ t, where μ = inducedOuterMeasure m P0 m0.
E.g., if α is an (e)metric space and P u = diam u < r, then this lemma implies that
μ (s ∪ t) = μ s + μ t on any two sets such that r ≤ edist x y for all x ∈ s and y ∈ t.
To test whether s is Carathéodory-measurable we only need to check the sets t for which
P t holds. See ofFunction_caratheodory for another way to show the Carathéodory-measurability
of s.
If P is MeasurableSet for some measurable space, then we can remove some hypotheses of the
above lemmas.
Given an outer measure m we can forget its value on non-measurable sets, and then consider
m.trim, the unique maximal outer measure less than that function.
Equations
- m.trim = MeasureTheory.inducedOuterMeasure (fun (s : Set α) (x : MeasurableSet s) => m s) ⋯ ⋯
Instances For
OuterMeasure.trim is antitone in the σ-algebra.
If μ i is a countable family of outer measures, then for every set s there exists
a measurable set t ⊇ s such that μ i t = (μ i).trim s for all i.
If m₁ s = op (m₂ s) (m₃ s) for all s, then the same is true for m₁.trim, m₂.trim,
and m₃ s.
If m₁ s = op (m₂ s) for all s, then the same is true for m₁.trim and m₂.trim.
trim is additive.
trim respects scalar multiplication.
trim sends the supremum of two outer measures to the supremum of the trimmed measures.
trim sends the supremum of a countable family of outer measures to the supremum
of the trimmed measures.
The trimmed property of a measure μ states that μ.toOuterMeasure.trim = μ.toOuterMeasure.
This theorem shows that a restricted trimmed outer measure is a trimmed outer measure.
