Abstract
From the fact that Hausdorffs-dimensional measure is a regular Carathéodory outer measure follows (see Saks (3), ch. II, §§ 6, 8) the standard result:TheoremA.If {En} is any increasing sequence of sets, then∧sEn→ ∧s(ΣEn)as n→ ∞.Since ∧sXis denned (for every setX) as, the problem arises whether for every positive δ and every increasing sequence of sets one can prove Now there are four possible ways of defining; it is the lower bound oftaken over coverings ΣUrofXby convex sets, but in most applications it is not important whether the restriction on the convex sets is that they shall be (i) open and of diameter less than δ, (ii) closed and of diameter less than δ, (iii) open and of diameter not exceeding δ, or (iv) closed and of diameter not exceeding δ.Keywords
