A reference sample used in comparing lengths, areas, volumes, masses, and the like. The measures employed in scientific work are based on the international units of length, mass, and time—the meter, the kilogram, and the second—but decimal multiples and submultiples are commonly employed. Prior to the development of the international metric system, many special-purpose systems of measures had evolved and many still survive, especially in the United Kingdom and the United States.

Informally, a measure has the property of being monotone in the sense that if A is a subset of B, the measure of A is less than or equal to the measure of B. Furthermore, the measure of the empty set is required to be 0.

In mathematical analysis, a measure on a set is a systematic way to assign to each suitable subset a number, intuitively interpreted as the size of the subset. In this sense, a measure is a generalization of the concepts of length, area, and volume. A particularly important example is the Lebesgue measure on a Euclidean space, which assigns the conventional length, area, and volume of Euclidean geometry to suitable subsets of the n-dimensional Euclidean space Rⁿ. For instance, the Lebesgue measure of the interval [0, 1] in the real numbers is its length in the everyday sense of the word, specifically 1.

To qualify as a measure (see Definition below), a function that assigns a non-negative real number or +∞ to a set's subsets must satisfy a few conditions. One important condition is countable additivity. This condition states that the size of the union of a sequence of disjoint subsets is equal to the sum of the sizes of the subsets. However, it is in general impossible to associate a consistent size to each subset of a given set and also satisfy the other axioms of a measure. This problem was resolved by defining measure only on a sub-collection of all subsets; the subsets on which the measure is to be defined are called measurable and they are required to form a σ-algebra, meaning that unions, intersections and complements of sequences of measurable subsets are measurable. Non-measurable sets in a Euclidean space, on which the Lebesgue measure cannot be defined consistently, are necessarily complicated, in the sense of being badly mixed up with their complements; indeed, their existence is a non-trivial consequence of the axiom of choice.

Measure theory was developed in successive stages during the late 19th and early 20th centuries by Émile Borel, Henri Lebesgue, Johann Radon and Maurice Fréchet, among others. The main applications of measures are in the foundations of the Lebesgue integral, in Andrey Kolmogorov's axiomatisation of probability theory and in ergodic theory. In integration theory, specifying a measure allows one to define integrals on spaces more general than subsets of Euclidean space; moreover, the integral with respect to the Lebesgue measure on Euclidean spaces is more general and has a richer theory than its predecessor, the Riemann integral. Probability theory considers measures that assign to the whole set the size 1, and considers measurable subsets to be events whose probability is given by the measure. Ergodic theory considers measures that are invariant under, or arise naturally from, a dynamical system.

Definition

Let Σ be a σ-algebra over a set X. A function μ from Σ to the extended real number line is called a measure if it satisfies the following properties:

• Non-negativity:

for all

• Countable additivity (or σ-additivity): For all countable collections of pairwise disjoint sets in Σ:

• Null empty set:

One may require that at least one set E has finite measure. Then the null set automatically has measure zero because of countable additivity, because and is finite if and only if the empty set has measure zero.

The pair (X, Σ) is called a measurable space, the members of Σ are called measurable sets, and the triple (X, Σ, μ) is called a measure space.

If only the second and third conditions of the definition of measure above are met, and μ takes on at most one of the values ±∞, then μ is called a signed measure.

A probability measure is a measure with total measure one (i.e., μ(X) = 1); a probability space is a measure space with a probability measure.

For measure spaces that are also topological spaces various compatibility conditions can be placed for the measure and the topology. Most measures met in practice in analysis (and in many cases also in probability theory) are Radon measures. Radon measures have an alternative definition in terms of linear functionals on the locally convex space of continuous functions with compact support. This approach is taken by Bourbaki (2004) and a number of other authors. For more details see Radon measure.

Properties

Several further properties can be derived from the definition of a countably additive measure.

Monotonicity

A measure μ is monotonic: If E₁ and E₂ are measurable sets with E₁ ⊆ E₂ then

Measures of infinite unions of measurable sets

A measure μ is countably subadditive: If E₁, E₂, E₃, … is a countable sequence of sets in Σ, not necessarily disjoint, then

A measure μ is continuous from below: If E₁, E₂, E₃, … are measurable sets and E_n is a subset of E_{n + 1} for all n, then the union of the sets E_n is measurable, and

Measures of infinite intersections of measurable sets

A measure μ is continuous from above: If E₁, E₂, E₃, … are measurable sets and E_{n + 1} is a subset of E_n for all n, then the intersection of the sets E_n is measurable; furthermore, if at least one of the E_n has finite measure, then

This property is false without the assumption that at least one of the E_n has finite measure. For instance, for each n ∈ N, let

which all have infinite Lebesgue measure, but the intersection is empty.

Sigma-finite measures

Main article: Sigma-finite measure

A measure space (X, Σ, μ) is called finite if μ(X) is a finite real number (rather than ∞). It is called σ-finite if X can be decomposed into a countable union of measurable sets of finite measure. A set in a measure space has σ-finite measure if it is a countable union of sets with finite measure.

For example, the real numbers with the standard Lebesgue measure are σ-finite but not finite. Consider the closed intervals [k,k+1] for all integers k; there are countably many such intervals, each has measure 1, and their union is the entire real line. Alternatively, consider the real numbers with the counting measure, which assigns to each finite set of reals the number of points in the set. This measure space is not σ-finite, because every set with finite measure contains only finitely many points, and it would take uncountably many such sets to cover the entire real line. The σ-finite measure spaces have some very convenient properties; σ-finiteness can be compared in this respect to the Lindelöf property of topological spaces. They can be also thought of as a vague generalization of the idea that a measure space may have 'uncountable measure'.

Completeness

Main article: Complete measure

A measurable set X is called a null set if μ(X)=0. A subset of a null set is called a negligible set. A negligible set need not be measurable, but every measurable negligible set is automatically a null set. A measure is called complete if every negligible set is measurable.

A measure can be extended to a complete one by considering the σ-algebra of subsets Y which differ by a negligible set from a measurable set X, that is, such that the symmetric difference of X and Y is contained in a null set. One defines μ(Y) to equal μ(X).

Additivity

Measures are required to be countably additive. However, the condition can be strengthened as follows. For any set I and any set of nonnegative r_i, define:

A measure μ on Σ is κ-additive if for any λ < κ and any family X_α, α < λ the following hold:

1. 
2. 

Note that the second condition is equivalent to the statement that the ideal of null sets is κ-complete.

Examples

Some important measures are listed here.

• The counting measure is defined by μ(S) = number of elements in S.
• The Lebesgue measure on R is a complete translation-invariant measure on a σ-algebra containing the intervals in R such that μ([0,1]) = 1; and every other measure with these properties extends Lebesgue measure.
• Circular angle measure is invariant under rotation, and hyperbolic angle measure is invariant under squeeze mapping.
• The Haar measure for a locally compact topological group is a generalization of the Lebesgue measure (and also of counting measure and circular angle measure) and has similar uniqueness properties.
• The Hausdorff measure is a generalization of the Lebesgue measure to sets with non-integer dimension, in particular, fractal sets.
• Every probability space gives rise to a measure which takes the value 1 on the whole space (and therefore takes all its values in the unit interval [0,1]). Such a measure is called a probability measure. See probability axioms.
• The Dirac measure δ_a (cf. Dirac delta function) is given by δ_a(S) = χ_S(a), where χ_S is the characteristic function of S. The measure of a set is 1 if it contains the point a and 0 otherwise.

Other 'named' measures used in various theories include: Borel measure, Jordan measure, ergodic measure, Euler measure, Gaussian measure, Baire measure, Radon measure and Young measure.

In physics an example of a measure is spatial distribution of mass (see e.g., gravity potential), or another non-negative extensive property, conserved (see conservation law for a list of these) or not. Negative values lead to signed measures, see "generalizations" below.

Liouville measure, known also as the natural volume form on a symplectic manifold, is useful in classical statistical and Hamiltonian mechanics.

Gibbs measure is widely used in statistical mechanics, often under the name canonical ensemble.

Non-measurable sets

Main article: Non-measurable set

If the axiom of choice is assumed to be true, not all subsets of Euclidean space are Lebesgue measurable; examples of such sets include the Vitali set, and the non-measurable sets postulated by the Hausdorff paradox and the Banach–Tarski paradox.

Generalizations

For certain purposes, it is useful to have a "measure" whose values are not restricted to the non-negative reals or infinity. For instance, a countably additive set function with values in the (signed) real numbers is called a signed measure, while such a function with values in the complex numbers is called a complex measure. Measures that take values in Banach spaces have been studied extensively.^{[citation needed]} A measure that takes values in the set of self-adjoint projections on a Hilbert space is called a projection-valued measure; these are used in functional analysis for the spectral theorem. When it is necessary to distinguish the usual measures which take non-negative values from generalizations, the term positive measure is used. Positive measures are closed under conical combination but not general linear combination, while signed measures are the linear closure of positive measures.

Another generalization is the finitely additive measure, which are sometimes called contents. This is the same as a measure except that instead of requiring countable additivity we require only finite additivity. Historically, this definition was used first, but proved to be not so useful. It turns out that in general, finitely additive measures are connected with notions such as Banach limits, the dual of L^∞ and the Stone–Čech compactification. All these are linked in one way or another to the axiom of choice.

A charge is a generalization in both directions: it is a finitely additive, signed measure.
