Two (positive) measures and
, defined on a locally compact space
, such that
.
Two measures and
are mutually singular if and only if there exist in
two disjoint sets
and
such that
is concentrated on
and
on

Comments
The second characterization in the main article above holds if and
are
-additive
-finite measures on an abstract measurable space, and
and
belong to the
-field.
Mutually-singular measures are also called singular measures or orthogonal measures.
Instead of "concentrated on" one also uses "supported in" (cf. also Support of a measure).
