Abstract

It was mentioned that to set up a theory of measure capable of measuring the greatest number of subsets in a given space, Lebesgue started with their outer measure \(m^*\), dropped the property of invariance under complements and as counterpart defined inner measures in terms of outer measures of complements. Moreover, in order to satisfy suitable conditions for a measure (such as complete additivity), Lebesgue restricted the domain of the set function \(m^*\) to the class of Lebesgue measurable sets, so the outer measure \(m^*\) will be called the Lebesgue measure m for such sets.
