20.5 Regular Measures

Definition 20.5.1 (Inner Regular).label Let $X$ be a topological space, $\mu: \cb_{X} \to [0, \infty]$ be a Borel measure, and $E \in \cb_{X}$, then $\mu$ is inner regular on $E$ if

\[\mu(E) = \sup\bracs{\mu(K)| K \subset E, K \text{ compact}}\]

Definition 20.5.2 (Outer Regular).label Let $X$ be a topological space, $\mu: \cb_{X} \to [0, \infty]$ be a Borel measure, and $E \in \cb_{X}$, then $\mu$ is outer regular on $E$ if

\[\mu(E) = \sup\bracs{\mu(U)| U \in \cn^o(A)}\]

Definition 20.5.3 (Regular).label Let $X$ be a topological space and $\mu: \cb_{X} \to [0, \infty]$ be a measure, then $\mu$ is regular if it is inner regular and outer regular on all Borel sets.

Theorem 20.5.4 ([Theorem 7.8, Fol99]).label Let $X$ be a topological space and $\mu: \cb_{X} \to [0, \infty]$ be a Borel measure. If:

  1. (a)

    $X$ is a LCH space.

  2. (b)

    Every open set of $X$ is $\sigma$-compact.

  3. (c)

    For any $K \subset X$ compact, $\mu(K) < \infty$.

then $\mu$ is a regular measure.
