A theorem [a5], [a4], saying that a family 
of countably additive signed measures 
(cf. Measure) defined on a 
-algebra 
and pointwise bounded, i.e. for each 
there exists a number 
such that

is uniformly bounded, i.e. there exists a number 
such that

As is well-known, the Nikodým boundedness theorem for measures fails in general for algebras of sets. But there are uniform boundedness theorems in which the initial boundedness conditions are imposed on certain subfamilies of a given 
-algebra; those subfamilies need not be 
-algebras. The following definitions are useful [a2], [a7], [a8]:
SCP) An algebra 
has the sequential completeness property if each disjoint sequence 
from 
has a subsequence 
whose union is in 
SIP) An algebra 
has the subsequential interpolation property if for each subsequence 
of each disjoint sequence 
from 
there are a subsequence 
and a set 
such that

and 
for 
.
The Nikodým boundedness theorem holds on algebras with SCP) and SIP).
A famous theorem of J. Dieudonné [a3] states that for compact metric spaces the pointwise boundedness of a family of regular Borel measures on open sets implies its uniform boundedness on all Borel sets. There are further generalizations of this theorem [a6].
