Extract

Let X be a metric space and τ a non-negative function on the subsets of X. By the well-known Carathéodory process, we generate outer measures μδ(τ), for δ > 0, and (see §3). When, for every A ⊂ X, τA = (diamA)s for s ≥ 0, μ(τ) is the Hausdorff s-dimensional measure, and, if τA = h(diam A) for a monotone continuous function h with h(0) = 0, μ(τ) is the Hausdorff h-measure. In both of these cases, μ(τ) has been extensively studied.
