Definition:Infinite Measure

Definition
Let $\struct {X, \Sigma}$ be a measurable space.

Then the infinite measure is the measure defined by:


 * $\mu: \Sigma \to \overline \R, \ \map \mu E := \begin{cases} 0 & : \text{if } E = \O \\ +\infty & : \text{otherwise}\end{cases}$

where $\overline \R$ denotes the extended real numbers.

Also known as
The infinite measure is sometimes referred to as the trivial measure, but such can cause confusion with the null measure.
