Set Function

Analysis

In mathematics, especially in measure theory, a set function is a function whose domain is a family of subsets of a given set, and which usually takes its values in the extended real number line, consisting of the real numbers together with positive and negative infinity.

    In mathematics, especially measure theory, a set function is a function whose domain is a family of subsets of some given set and that (usually) takes its values in the extended real number line R ∪ { ± ∞ }, {\displaystyle \mathbb {R} \cup \{\pm \infty \},} which consists of the real numbers R {\displaystyle \mathbb {R} } and ± ∞. {\displaystyle \pm \infty.} A set function generally aims to measure subsets in some way.
