A question about the outer measure generated












0












$begingroup$


Let $mathcal{K}subseteq 2^{X}$ be a family of subset such that $emptysetin mathcal{K}$ and let $nucolonmathcal{K}to [0,+infty]$ an application such that $nu(emptyset)=0.$
We denote with $$mathcal{R}_{mathcal{K}}big(Ebig)=bigg{{I_k}_{kinmathbb{N}}subseteqmathcal{K};bigg|;Esubseteqbigcup_{kinmathbb{N}}I_kbigg}.$$ We define $$mu^{(mathcal{K},nu)}big(Ebig):=infbigg{sum_{kinmathbb{N}}nu(I_k);bigg|;{I_k}inmathcal{R}_{mathcal{K}}big(Ebig)bigg}quadtext{if}quadmathcal{R}_{mathcal{K}}big(Ebig)neemptyset$$ and $$mu^{(mathcal{K},nu)}big(Ebig):=+inftyquadtext{if}quad mathcal{R}_{mathcal{K}}big(Ebig)=emptyset.$$




Question. If I know that $mathcal{R}_{mathcal{K}}big(Ebig)ne emptyset$, can I conclude that $mu^{(mathcal{K},mu)}big(Ebig)<+infty?$




For me the answer is no. Because we do not know that every series is convergent. That is: we suppose that $mathcal{R}_{mathcal{K}}big(Ebig)neemptyset$, and we suppose that exists one ${I_k}inmathcal{R}_{mathcal{K}}big(Ebig)$, such that $sum_{kinmathbb{N}}nu(I_k)=+infty$, in this case what can we say about $mu^{(mathcal{K},nu)}big(Ebig)$?



Thanks!

In general, the answer is indeed no, and you can see this with a very simple example. Just take $mathcal K = {emptyset, X}$ and $nu(emptyset)=0$, $nu(X)=+infty$. Then for any non-empty set $Esubset X$ we have $mathcal R_{mathcal K}(E)=big{ {X,X,ldots} big}neq emptyset$ and $mu^{(mathcal K, nu)}(E)=+infty$.



Note that in this case $mathcal K$ is a $sigma$-field and $nu$ is a measure, so there is a lot more structure than in your general setting, but the assertion is still false.
