Lemma

If \(\mu_1\) and \(\mu_2\) are finite measures on a measurable space \((\Omega, \mathcal{F})\) with \(\mu_1(\Omega)=\mu_2(\Omega)\), then the class \(\mathcal{L}:= \{A\in\mathcal{F}: \mu_1(A)=\mu_2(A)\}\) is a \(\lambda\)-system.

  

  

Lemma(First Uniqueness Theorem for Finite Measure)

Suppose \(\mu_1\) and \(\mu_2\) are finite measures on \(\sigma(\mathcal{P})\), where \(\mathcal{P}\) is a \(\pi\)-system with \(\Omega\in \mathcal{P}\). If \(\mu_1\) and \(\mu_2\) agree on \(\mathcal{P}\), then they agree on \(\sigma(\mathcal{P})\).

(만약 두 measure가 finite measure일 때 주어진 field에서 agree하다면, \(\sigma\)-field에서도 agree한다. 즉 Unique함을 의미한다.)

  

Lemma(Second Uniqueness Theorem for Finite Measure)

Suppose \(\mu_1\) and \(\mu_2\) are finite measures on \(\sigma(\mathcal{P})\), where \(\mathcal{P}\) is a \(\pi\)-system and \(\Omega\) can be written as a finite or countably infinite union of sets in \(\mathcal{P}\). If \(\mu_1\) and \(\mu_2\) agree on \(\mathcal{P}\), then they agree on \(\sigma(\mathcal{P})\).

  

Definition(Outer Measures)

An outer measure is a set function \(\mu^*\) defined on \(2^\Omega\) and satisfying

  1. \(0\le \mu^*(A)\le \infty\) for all \(A\subset\Omega\);

  2. \(\mu^*(\phi)=0\) ;

  3. Monotonicity: \(A\subset B\) implies \(\mu^*(A)\le \mu^*(B)\).

  4. Countable subadditivity: for all \(A_1, A_2, \ldots \subset \Omega\), \(\mu^*(\cup_n A_n)\le \sum_n \mu^*(A_n)\).

  

Lemma

Let \(\mu\) be a set function on a class \(\mathcal{A}\) of subsets of \(\Omega\), where

  1. \(\phi\in \mathcal{A}\); (field의 조건.)

  2. \(\mu(\phi)=0\); (measure의 조건)

  3. \(0 \le \mu(A) \le \infty\) for all \(A\in \mathcal{A}\). (measure의 조건)

If \(\mu^*\) is defined by \[ \mu^*(A)=\inf\left\{ \sum_n \mu(A_n): A_1,A_2,\ldots\in \mathcal{A}, A\subset \cup_n A_n \right\}, A\subset \Omega, \] then \(\mu^*\) is an outer measure.

  

Definition(\(\mu^*\)-measurable)

If \(\mu^*\) is an outer measure, then a set \(A\subset \Omega\) is \(\mu^*\)-measurable if

\[ \mu^*(E)= \mu^*(A\cap E)+ \mu^*(A^c \cap E) \mbox{ for all }E\subset \Omega, \] and let \(M(\mu^*)\) denote the class of \(\mu^*\)-measurable sets.

  

Lemma

\(M(\mu^*)\) is a \(\sigma\)-field, and \(\mu^*\) restricted to \(M(\mu^*)\) is a measure.

  

  

Definition(semiring)

A class \(\mathcal{A}\) of subsets of \(\Omega\) is a semiring if

  1. \(\phi\in \mathcal{A}\);

  2. \(A,B \in \mathcal{A}\) implies \(A\cap B \in \mathcal{A}\); (closed under finite union)

  3. If \(A,B \in \mathcal{A}\) and \(A\subset B\), then there exists disjoint \(\mathcal{A}\)-sets \(C_1,\ldots, C_n\) such that \(B-A = \uplus_{k=1}^n C_k\).

Theorem(Caratheodory Extension Theorem)

Suppose that \(\mu\) is a set function on a semiring \(\mathcal{A}\) satisfying

  1. \(\mu\) is nonnegative: \(0\le \mu\le \infty\) for all \(A\in \mathcal{A}\);

  2. \(\mu(\phi)=0\);

  3. \(\mu\) is finitely additive on \(\mathcal{A}\): if \(A_1,A_2,\ldots,A_n\in \mathcal{A}\) are disjoint, and \(\uplus_{k=1}^n A_k\in \mathcal{A}\), then \(\mu(\uplus_{k=1}^n A_k)= \sum_{k=1}^n \mu (A_k)\),

  4. \(\mu\) is countably subadditive on \(\mathcal{A}\): if \(A_n\in \mathcal{A}, n\ge 1\) and \(\uplus_n A_n\in \mathcal{A}\), then \(\mu(\cup_{n} A_n)\le \sum_n \mu (A_n)\).

Then, \(\mu\) extends to a measure on \(\sigma(\mathcal{A})\). (일반적인 measure \(\mu\)는 위의 4가지 properties를 갖고있다.)

  

  

결론

Theorem(Caratheodory Extension Theorem)

A measure \(\mu\) on a field \(\mathcal{F}\) has an extension to \(\sigma(\mathcal{F})\). If \(\mu\) is \(\sigma\)-finite on \(\mathcal{F}\), then the extension is unique.
