A '''measure space''' is a triple $(X,\A,\mu)$ where $X$ is a set, $\A$ a [[Algebra of sets|σ-algebra]] of its subsets, and $\mu:\A\to[0,+\infty]$ a [[measure]]. Thus, a measure space consists of a [[measurable space]] and a measure. The notation $(X,\A,\mu)$ is often shortened to $(X,\mu)$ and one says that $\mu$  is a measure on $X$; sometimes the notation is shortened to $X$.

Note a fine distinction from [http://ada00.math.uni-bielefeld.de/MW1236/index.php/User:Boris_Tsirelson/sandbox#Experiments Ada]:

''Inner measure'' $\mu_*$ and ''outer measure'' $\mu^*$ are defined for all subsets $A\subset X$ by

$A$ is called a ''null'' (or ''negligible'') set if $\mu^*(A)=0$; in this case the complement $X\setminus A$ is called a set of ''full measure'', and one says that $x\notin A$ for ''almost all'' $x$ (in other words, ''almost everywhere''). Two sets $A,B\subset X$ are ''almost equal'' (or ''equal mod 0'') if $(x\in A)\iff(x\in B)$ for almost all $x$ (in other words, $A\setminus B$ and $B\setminus A$ are negligible). Two functions $f,g:X\to Y$ are ''almost equal'' (or ''equal mod 0'', or ''equivalent'') if they are equal almost everywhere.

A subset $A\subset X$ is called ''measurable'' (or $\mu$-measurable) if it is almost equal to some $B\in\A$. In this case $\mu_*(A)=\mu^*(A)=\mu(B)$. If $\mu_*(A)=\mu^*(A)<\infty$ then $A$ is $\mu$-measurable. All $\mu$-measurable sets are a σ-algebra $\A_\mu$ containing $\A$.
+
I guess, the reason is that there Asy generates pdf file (converted into png afterwards), and here something else (probably ps).
  
−
The ''[[Measure#product|product]]'' of two (or finitely many) measure spaces is a well-defined measure space.
+
No, it seems, it generates eps, both here and there. Then, what could be the reason?
  
−
A ''[[probability space]]'' is a measure space $(X,\A,\mu)$ satisfying $\mu(X)=1$. The product of infinitely many probability spaces is a well-defined probability space. (See {{Cite|D|Sect. 8.2}}, {{Cite|B|Sect. 3.5}}, {{Cite|P}}.)

Let $(X,\A,\mu)$ be a measure space.
 
  
−
Both $(X,\A,\mu)$ and $\mu$ are called ''complete'' if $\A_\mu=\A$ or, equivalently, if $\A$ contains all null sets. The ''completion'' of $(X,\A,\mu)$ is the complete measure space $(X,\A_\mu,\tilde\mu)$ where $\tilde\mu(A)=\mu(B)$ whenever $A\in\A_\mu$ is almost equal to $B\in\A$.

If $X$ is a set of finite measure, that is, $\mu(X)<\infty$, then $\mu$, and sometimes also $(X,\A,\mu)$, is called ''finite.''
+
Mysterious.
  
−
Both $(X,\A,\mu)$ and $\mu$ are called ''σ-finite'' if $X$ can be split into countably many sets of finite measure, that is, $X=A_1\cup A_2\cup\dots$ for some $A_n\in\A$ such that $\forall n \;\; \mu(A_n)<\infty$. (Finite measures are also σ-finite.)
+
==Three dimensions==
  
−
Let $\mu(X)<\infty$. Both $(X,\A,\mu)$ and $\mu$ are called [[Perfect measure|''perfect'']] if for every $\mu$-measurable (or equivalently, for every $\A$-measurable) function $f:X\to\R$ the image $f(X)$ contains a Borel (or equivalently, σ-compact) subset $B$ whose preimage $f^{-1}(B)$ is of full measure. (See {{Cite|B|Sect. 7.5}}.)

For ''[[standard probability space]]s'' see the separate article. Standard measure spaces are defined similarly. They are perfect, and admit a complete classification (unlike perfect measure spaces in general).

''Examples.'' The real line with Lebesgue measure on Borel σ-algebra is an incomplete σ-finite measure space. The real line with Lebesgue measure on Lebesgue σ-algebra is a complete σ-finite measure space. The unit interval $(0,1)$ with Lebesgue measure on Lebesgue σ-algebra is a standard probability space. The product of countably many copies of this space is standard; for uncountably many factors the product is perfect but nonstandard. The one-dimensional [[Hausdorff measure]] on the plane is not σ-finite.

Let $\mu(X)<\infty$. An ''atom'' of $(X,\A,\mu)$ (and of $\mu$) is a non-negligible measurable set $A\subset X$ such that every measurable subset of $A$ is either negligible or almost equal to $A$. Both $(X,\A,\mu)$ and $\mu$ are called ''atomless'' or ''nonatomic'' if they have no atoms; on the other hand, they are called ''purely atomic'' if there exists a partition of $X$ into atoms. (See {{Cite|D|Sect. 3.5}}, {{Cite|B|Sect. 1.12(iii)}}, {{Cite|M|Sect. 6.4.1}}.)

−
If $x\in X$ is such that the single-point set $\{x\}$ is a non-negligible measurable set then clearly $\{x\}$ is an atom. If $(X,\A,\mu)$ is standard then every atom is almost equal to some $\{x\}$, but in general it is not.

−
Let $\{x\}$ be measurable for all $x\in X$. Both $(X,\A,\mu)$ and $\mu$ are called ''continuous'' if $\mu(\{x\})=0$ for all $x\in X$; on the other hand, they are called ''discrete'' if $X$ is almost equal to some finite or countable set. (See {{Cite|C|Sect. 1.2}}, {{Cite|K|Sect. 17.A}}.)

The phrase "separable measure space" is quite ambiguous. Some authors call $(X,\A,\mu)$ separable when the Hilbert space $L_2(X,\A,\mu)$ is separable; equivalently, when $\A$ contains a countably generated sub-σ-algebra $\B$ such that every set of $\A$ is almost equal to some set of $\B$. (See {{Cite|B|Sect. 7.14(iv)}}, {{Cite|M|Sect. IV.6.0}}.) But in {{Cite|I|Sect. 3.1}} it is required instead that $\B$ separates points and $(X,\A,\mu)$ is complete, while in {{Cite|H}} all these conditions are imposed together.

Experiments

Note a fine distinction from Ada:

I guess, the reason is that there Asy generates pdf file (converted into png afterwards), and here something else (probably ps).

No, it seems, it generates eps, both here and there. Then, what could be the reason?

More.


Mysterious.

Three dimensions


Sinusoid

Sinusoidal spiral

Power function

Kolmogorov test

Golden ratio

Strangely, the figure in EoM is erroneous! ED=EB, not BD=EB.
