Separative relations for measures

A. P. Morse and Donald Chesley Pfaff

Vol. 48 (1973), No. 2, 451–471
Abstract

When dealing with Carathéodory (outer) measures, a natural problem arises: how does one determine a nontrivial, interesting family of measurable sets? In particular cases of a metric or topological nature, it has been customary to assume that the measure is additive on sets which are a bit more than merely disjoint. The general approach of this paper, purely set-theoretical in nature, emphasizes a relation R which “separates” sets, and describes certain sets, constructed with the aid of R, which turn out to be measurable whenever the measure is additive on sets which are separatively related.
