Definition:Lebesgue Pre-Measure

Definition
Let $\mathcal J_{ho}$ be the collection of half-open $n$-rectangles.

$n$-dimensional Lebesgue pre-measure is the mapping $\lambda^n: \mathcal J_{ho} \to \overline{\R}_{\ge0}$ given by:


 * $\lambda^n \left({ \left[[{\mathbf a .. \mathbf b}\right)) }\right) = \displaystyle \prod_{i = 1}^n \left({b_i - a_i}\right)$

where $\overline{\R}_{\ge0}$ denotes the set of positive extended real numbers.
