I have a question and hope some of you can help me :)



Consider a signed measure $nu$ on $(Omega, bfA)$ and let be $P_i in bfA$ positive sets, such that $ forall B subset P_i: nu(B) geq0 $. Then we state that $bigcup_i in I P_i$ is also a positive set.



If $I$ is countable ( $|I| leq |mathbbN|$) this seems to be true.
To show this I considered an arbitrary $M in bigcup_i in I P_i $. I know that there exists $M_i := M cap P_i subset P_i$. So we get $nu(M) = nu left( bigcup_i in IM_i right) = sum_i in I nu(M_i) geq 0$.



The last $=$ follows due to sigma-additivity of $nu$ and the $geq$ follows due to $M_i subset P_i$ and $P_i$ is positive.



Now I wonder, what happens, if $I$ is uncountable ( $|I| > |mathbbN|$). I think there must be a counterexample, because the sigma-additivity doesn't hold anymore, but I can't find one.



Does anybody have a counterexample for me, or is my assumption wrong, and one can proof, that the statement is still true for overcountable I's.



Thanks a lot!

Let $[0,1]$ be equipped with negative Lebesgue measure.



All singletons are positive sets but the union of all singletons is not.

  • Aaah thanks! I've already thought about this example, but rejected it, because I thought I want that it has to hold for ALL subsets and their union - what obviously is nonsense. Thanks a lot!

Long meetings (6-7 hours a day): Being “babysat” by supervisor

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP .everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty margin-bottom:0; up vote 31 down vote favorite 4 I hold a PhD in mechanical engineering with a 7 year background in self-guided, self-paced research including 2 years as a graduate level course instructor and a subject matter expert for various engineering projects in a university setting in the United States. For the last 10-11 months, I am working in a research industry in France where my task is to debug C++ spaghetti code written over a period of several years by my current supervisor. It is a team of 2: just I and my supervisor. Diurnally, I am posed with a "bug of the day" to get out of this C++ code. My supervisor generally gives me about 15-30 minutes to solve it and then accosts me about whether or not the task is completed and then rinses and repeats this until the end of the day. Off-late, my supervisor has been holding 6-7 hour long "meetin

Confectionery

Prepared foods made with a lot of sugar or other cabohydrates "Sweetmeat" redirects here. For the racehorse, see Sweetmeat (horse). Not to be confused with Sweetbread. This Kransekake is a traditional Scandinavian baker's confection. Confectionery is the art of making confections , which are food items that are rich in sugar and carbohydrates. Exact definitions are difficult. [1] In general, though, confectionery is divided into two broad and somewhat overlapping categories, bakers' confections and sugar confections. [2] Bakers' confectionery, also called flour confections , includes principally sweet pastries, cakes, and similar baked goods. Sugar confectionery includes candies ( sweets in British English), candied nuts, chocolates, chewing gum, bubble gum, pastillage, and other confections that are made primarily of sugar. In some cases, chocolate confections (confections made of chocolate) are treated as a separate category, as are sugar-free versions of
